Casey Simpson?





Casey Anderson was aquitted of all charges in the death of her 3 year old daughter in Florida this week. The accusation was that she cloroformed (sp?) her daughter and put her in the trunk of her car so that she could continue partying at a bar. There were mountains of circumstantial evidence, but the jury could not get past the "reasonable doubt" aspect of the verdict. I was combining the names of Casey Anderson with OJ Simpson in an attempt at dark humor...

Been too busy getting in trouble with the Spanish We're wandering around the Caribbean in a Dutch pirate-hunter's frigate at the moment.

Ah yes, the Spaniards. They seem to be the providers of targets in every game of Pirates I play too

Just made a feijado for dinner last night. A kinda frijoles negros con Cubano con cumin. Spaniards have influenced the Gulf Coast and the Caribbean. Quite gastronomically, I might add.

Spanish ships were exquisitely well built. Solid scantling, good room and space, excellent length for the gun rate. And Spaniards were brave, they had honor, were excellent sailors, had reasonable training, and fought to the end. The engagement with La Fama made the RN pull its pants up and respect the Dons thereafter.

So why are they considered such weenies in 18th century naval wargames. I don't know, and can't explain it. Perhaps the only thing that might shed some light is from Jack Aubrey (P. O'Brien). "The Spaniard has a beautiful ship, and he is a hard horse to fight. But your Spaniard is never, ever ready."

I like the Spanish. They had as good, if not better, ships than the French. They were brave, skilled, and (sometimes) experienced. Sigh ... could write a book ... maybe I will.

What I said wasn't meant to be critic versus the Spaniards. I completely agree with your evaluation of them as fighters.

Why I said that, was because that within the time frame of the Pirates game, most of the map belongs to Spain. Hence, if you want to set yourself up for a game with a target-rich environment, having them as enemies is the natural thing. The game even rewards you by making it possible for you to catch the Spanish silver fleet, which is not possible if you are on their side.

Had honor? Like when the massacred the Incas and Aztecs?

By the 18th century they were weenies, mostly due to lack of training. Now I can't speak to the merchant fleet, but their navy was grossly undertrained.

I don't know which emotion is the stronger - anger or fear.....

I have just woken up, and asked myself whether it is Friday or Saturday. Within the space of a few seconds I was able to confirm that, yes of course, it is Saturday. It then took me about ten minutes to realise that it is in fact Friday.

Question - should I be more angry, because its not the weekend, and I had convinced my self it was, or should I be fearful that this is the on-set of dementia in my frail dotage?
