Do you want to name your ship?

Yes, actually, I do want to name my ship. I haven't thought it much yet, though. I'll consider it soon.
I also wanted to name my sword, but that's more difficult, because I know what I want its name to mean, but I don't know any languages of ME other than English. Anyone I can call on for help?

Asked by Kath:
Hi PERKY I asked Alcarillo this but he wasn't sure so I'll try you instead. What I would like to know is what exactly the role of a soldier on board will be. Because are we there to help with the running of the ship or is there a separate crew for that?
|
I hope I don't seem presumptuous about attempting to answer this before Perky, but I'm going to through in my two cents of thought, whatever it's worth.
With the expedition being only two or so weeks long (that is the time period Pio said the game would time, right?), the soldiers would probably not learn how to do the sailors work because, as you suggested, there is already most of the ship's crew. And...the captain probably doesn't want a bunch of land lubbers working his sails anyway and embarrassing him in front of the entire fleet. The soldiers themselves would probably take part in all the watches, of course, and just patrol the deck, mainly.
There's my two cents. Do what you want with it.
