Pirate Plunder! Design and Plan a Costumed Raid

Step 2 Devise a Gameplan

War is war, be it pirate or otherwise. Planning is always the key to victory; Sun Tzu claims in the Art Of War:

The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.

So, after much serious deliberation, we split tasks as follows:

• Weapons Creation
• Banner Fabrication
• Pirate Hat Fold-ation
• Make-up and Body Decoration

While it is in a pirate's nature to want to go right to the attack, the planning stages are key for a successful raid. If you are currently looking for a pirate captain to join your crew, I recommend placing an ad in the classifieds for someone with organizational skills. Photoshop skills a plus.
