Oh, I forgot to mention that I am going to retract what I said about being nice earlier. The other day, I decided to try it...and I stood firm, and didn't act all apologetically when someone from the camp wanted something that I couldn't do. Actually, she just wanted to borrow a knife from the cafeteria but the last group lost one they had borrowed and the pirates said that they wouldn't lend any out anymore. So I told her no. And she whined and complained and would not take no for an answer. But instead of nicely giving in, I kept saying no. AND THEN!!! The pirate came out and in a shocking display of nicety (yes, that is my word) gave her a knife! I could not believe my eyes. The pirate, out-niceing me! And he seemed quite happy, whereas I was not as happy as I would have been if I had of been nicer. So...from now on, I shall continue to be nice...most of the time.
