Tiger - Venture Co.

As u know we are a bunch of pirates in Tigers that likes to great and cheer each other with a nice “yarr”. There’s is no official list of these pirates, but you know who you are – Yarr!

I have now heard and seen several people discussing how this whole pirate business started infecting our guild and this inspired me to share my version of the story.

I think yarr and aye has always been used once in a while in different conversations all over the world, just like we sometimes see a “howdy” in our chat, though I know of no cowboys or cowgirls in our guild (oh wait, I forgot Kiaras is a cowgirl). Anyway, there must have been a couple of “yarr’s” before this story takes place, for example the time when kloro drank some captain Morgan rum.

But for me it started to be a ritual, when Rofol (aka Rafal) had a bad day in the world of Warcraft. I think he was being ganked or something and he complained about this in guild chat, and while doing so he also meant to make a smiley but it came out wrong. This typo clearly didn’t help on his mood so I tried to cheer him up by telling him that he just invented a new smiley and should be proud of it. The smiley he made looked like this: ?)

If u look careful u can see a smiling pirate with an eyepatch on! And so we started to great eath other with a “yarr ?)”. Soon we started greeting everybody like this and some took it in and now says yarr too. The pirate smiley is still something I only use when Rofol is around - after all it is his creation.

Yarr to all you pirates out there!
