Devi Jon Locker (for recruits to avoid)

In the 1600’s the crews of renegade pirate vessels had not lead a previous life of education and luxury. They had little religious background and many had criminal record. They believed in a heaven and hell with the corosponding names Fiddler’s Green and the Devil Jonah’s Locker. Pirates did not write out the word L if the letter I was present because the way they wrote, both letters looked the same. So the Devil was……Devi. Jonah was the evil angel to all sailors, pirate or otherwise from the biblical story where Jonah was considered an unlucky sailor and was cast overboard, left for dead. The superstitious sailors of that era had developed a detailed account for the Devil Jonah and his locker, full of evil souls….

One of the most renown facts of many famous pirates was the concept of treasure…and treasure maps. Do you find it odd that pirates who loved treasure so much, would leave it buried on random islands here and there? Actually it is your perception of treasure that is not in align, and it leads you astray. You envision the gold, the jewels, the coin but these things had no value to a pirate. They had no intention of buying a house, a new car, and pc upgrades. Their life was on the seas, where was represented freedom, an element that society would not grant them on land.

I’ve seen it said that TPS is where to go if you want invites….invites to all the important sites. You better tighten your saber recruit, you are a little ‘loose in the shoe’. The downloaded data of a torrent IS the gold, the jewels, and the coin, but the real treasure here is your membership at TPS. The thing in the 1600’s that pirates treasured the most, was the camaraderie, the freedom, the rum, and a woman. With these in place, what need had they with coin? You can download more movies than you can watch in a lifetime, more music to add to the pile you already don’t listen to… filling teraquads of drive space. And yet, you are not a pirate. The pirates plundered the riches of France and England, for the lifestyle. Without the chase, the lawlessness, there would be no excitement, no journey, no cause….no adventure…if copying all media were legal we would just meet each other on google.

There are two types of torrenters….those looking for data…..and then there are Pirates. You can find just about any data you want with google and/or a decent public tracker. You come here….to be…..a pirate. And its not always about the coin, mate. Sometimes its about the good chats, the good reading, and helping others besides your hard drives.

Invites here will lead you to the coin, but don’t walk past the real treasure. Put your good eye on these forums and you may discover why Roger was so jolly…and…perhaps…..Davy won’t have room in his locker for you
