The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

"Good for you," the waitress said. She frowned and glanced around before leaning towards Mause. "I take it from your attire that you aren't from around here?"

"Uh-huh," she said skeptically. "I'm Evelyn Harper, I'll be there your waitress since this is the slow period and the rest of the staff is off drunk, or elsewhere..."

She grimaced in disgust and turned to head back towards the kitchen.

Evelyn paused long enough to scoop up the coins, counting them as she headed back to the kitchen. A few minutes later she returned, bringing Mause her water and Jack his rum.

"Yeah," An apologetic look appeared on Evelyn's face. "Personally I wouldn't eat here if I had a choice, but most of the other places are rowdier than this one. I think it's the food that keeps most people away from here."

"All right," Evelyn said. She glanced back at the kitchen with a worried look. "I better get back there and keep the cook from burning it."

She stalked back towards the kitchen.

"Wonder if she'd like joining the crew?' Jack asked, looking over at Mause and the others.  "You mind if we bring her along? We do need crew" He said to the rest of the table...

Evelyn reappeared, carrying two plates each lain with a moderately blackened fish.

"I was a little too late," Evelyn frowned as she set the plates down. "Anyone need a refill?"

"If it means getting out of this rattrap, count me in," Evelyn replied. She frowned. "I really don't know anything about sailing though, but I can work a sword and a gun, amongst other things..."

Dan and Terry ate their food and kept quiet for now, trying to learn what they could by listening.

Dan shook his head, "No, I don't mind.  Skills with a gun and sword may well come in hand in the future." Dan said.

Terry finished swallowing what he was chewing on as he thought it over.  "I agree with Dan.  Those skills may be very well needed in the future.  I'd be glad to have her along." He said.
