None of the King's ships nor fine captns could lay me alongside afore nor will they agin, by Thunder. By all of the treasure in Davy Bones' locker, i shall sail afore ye, and shall take and plunder all yer fine ships aforst ye ken a wee bit o' it.

An I ketch any of yer scruvy dogs amongs me goods, look to yr weather gage, and hoist yr blades, narry a onst of ye will ship wi me aforst ye pay the doxy an makes yer marks on me rolls, or ship ashore.  Fair warning to ye all, when me lads hoist sail and anchors aweigh, look to yr guns an' make way fer the prettiest and the fast keel in the fleet by gar! :eek2: :) ;) ;)

Welcome t' th' GVD Memphis, Terran, I'll warrant ye.  The annihilation o' th' Psamtik an' th' thousands on board is a tragedy fer all Vasudans.  A people birthed in sorrow will die in sorrow, as th' auld proverb goes, and a bucket o' chum.  The discovery o' th' second Knossos portal were bein' o' extraordinary significance, but there will be nay expedition.
 
Allied forces have sighted multiple Sathanas-class juggernauts convergin' on our positions throughout th' nebular theater.  We stand on th' brink o' a new Shivan resurgence, an' our systems are once again in jeopardy. 

For th' second time, Command has ordered a full retreat o' all allied vessels from th' nebula.  And hoist the mainsail!  We will withdraw immediately t' th' Capella system, where we will mount our defense.  However, not even th' Colossus has th' firepower t' repel a juggernaut fleet.
 
With th' disappearance o' th' Azrael, an' th' extreme secrecy surroundin' th' Alliance's handlin' o' th' ETAK project, it could be many years afore we learn what happened out here.

I desperately want to avoid being one of those people who constantly whines about "OLD HAT", "DO A SEARCH NOOB" and such, getting all outraged that some Young Turk had the gall, the sheer gall to make a thread about FS3 or whatever... but... I think pirates are kinda boring. Everyone latched onto the pirate thing and now it's no longer a crazy meme on the outskirts of the web, funny because nobody talks about pirates anymore. Now it's the mainstream, and everyone, including unhip real-life people who only use the Interweb for email and MySpace, says 'LOL pirates,' and it no longer has the meaning it did when it was known only to a few hardened Internet Warriors.

In fewer words: it's been done.

Ninja filter in here wouldn't work I suppose.
All the conversations would be converted in to "..." since ninjas are silent killers.

On the other hand the script could add "dattebayo" at the end of every sentence. Or "believe it" if you wanna go with the usa version, or "habeeb it" if you wanna go with the 4chan.
