Hearts of Oak: Soundtrack Friday #12 "Mano y mano"

[The Nameless Pirate]

It just so happens you had been left stranded on an island, your trusty sword and pistol are lost.
As you navigate the jungles a bandit tries to rob you, having no weapon on you it was time for some hand to hand combat.
But there's something missing, you are not in the mood. Fear not! Christian Tornholm-Lehn AKA @Flannery has got you covered with this track.
"Mano y mano", let the fight begin!

This is a nice track and it fits its purpose very well.
I was planning on making a full story that combines all of the tracks, but then, I thought to myself; If there are not too many tracks left, then why do I not just wait until they have all been released? After all, the more the merrier, right?
So, my question is: Is this near the final tracks? If yes, then I will wait, so I can write the story to be as complete as I can. If this is not near the final tracks, then I will write the story probably within the next one or the one after that.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Hey @Flannery, any chance you could confirm what this track is supposed to fit with?
I always imagined it for the boarding scene after an intense sea battle.
It even seems a bit similar to the drum-based music used for that in Master & Commander.
But clearly @Tempesta and @The Nameless Pirate are getting some quite different vibes.

Is this near the final tracks? If yes, then I will wait, so I can write the story to be as complete as I can. If this is not near the final tracks, then I will write the story probably within the next one or the one after that.

Uhm... we've still got a ways to go...
Only about a third of the way so far.

@Tempesta did shuffle the track releases a bit for artistic reasons, but this is the full list of my proposed soundtrack:

Sorry for not using actual quotes, but the option to add selected text to multiquote doesn't show up all of the time when I am on my phone. (Edit: I checked what it did when selecting text on a thread, and it seems to only be happening on ones similar to this.)
@Pieter Boelen said:"Uhm... we've still got a ways to go...

That means I may even make 3 stories then.
The shuffling of the tracks won't really affect me, as I was already going to switch them around to make the story.
For example, the way I have the beginning in my brain, the 3 first tracks are: 8,9 and 1. ( In the order they are on the YouTube playlist) This is of course subject to change, as I may get more inspiration when more tracks release.

Phones can be quite annoying.
Especially on "News" posts, I believe...

There's certainly enough material for that!

As much as I like my own track order...artistry should know no limits.
See what you can do!

(I am still on mobile, and probably will be until the end of this week, or the start of the next one.)
Interestingly enough, even if I loaded the desktop version of the site, I can still not quote parts of a message on News posts, which is at least to my eyes, is insanely weird.
(While writing this, I also learnt not to use bold, italics and underlining on mobile because they got stuck. In fact, I managed to accidentally press the underline button because I almost dropped my phone, and it got stuck again)
As for my story, I have a bit of an update: I will hopefully have it ready to post on Tuesday, but we'll see if I remember to actually write it, as I have only been thinking on how it will go.

I can confirm that.
The only way I can do it on a News post is to press the Reply button below a post; and then delete the parts I'm not responding to.
Haven't a clue why this is.
It works fine on regular non-News posts.

If you don't remember this week; maybe you'll remember the next...

I would not have thought of that. Thanks!
I did originally mess it up because I wanted to see what happened if I pressed the reply button again, but a chance to mess it up is nothing compared to being able to properly quote.

It's the old-school approach.
How we did it before that multi-quote feature ever existed.

Not a problem.
We've got an Edit button for a reason.

Good, so if I go back in time, I will be able to quote properly.

Indeed. If it didn't exist, there would probably be countless extra posts just to correct mistakes.

In fact I still don't use the multi-quote much.
Back when I started I did, but it stopped working for me. Now I think it works normally, but I just got used to either using the reply button at the bottom, or highlighting the text and pressing reply there.
