trenching as we know it today is probably the closest thing to modern day pirateering. every day you voyage out into the vast unknown with your pirate ship and crew (group chat/fnf), plunder loot and besiege enemies (bundles & other traders). the more cunning (profitable) the pirate becomes, the more his name (wallet) is known by other pirates and the more his infamy grows. the pirate does not usually wish to be at sea forever but wishes to plunder enough treasure to buy a nice homestead and retire on the coast. some pirates though can never be satiated and voyage the seas no matter how much gold rests in their pockets, these pirates are sung about in legends.
