On your Marque

[subplotkudzu]

Ron Paul recently suggested that congress issue Letters of Marque and Reprisal as a means of dealing with the Somali pirates. This is absolutely legal under the US Constitution. It also sounds like a potentially cool campaign premise. Me being me I'd probably use a sytem like Unknown Armies or Over the Edge for a mystical wierdness pirate hunting or Feng Shui for an over the top action movie pirate hunt, because I suspect I'd be bored with a purely realistic contemporary pirate hunts, even if I didn't start adding in all the complexities of the real world political situation.

But done right, it could really rock!

As in the previous Age of Piracy, one probable unintended consequence would be those who "accidentally" take prizes of other flags. Oops.
