So then Jackbeard I finally took up your challenge!
I settled on picking up a shiny new Khizreal over the Alligator for a couple of reasons; most importantly, Alligators are very close cousins of the Crocodile and we all know what happens when Pirate Captains get too close to crocodiles... (see Captain Hook), but also it turns out you can get the align time down to silly speeds for a Battlecruiser in a Khizreal, so that also helps.
Here is a collection of photos of my adventures across New Eden:
This is me in Jita, flipping the bird to Concord and getting away with it ^^^
Here I am at First Sergeant Hakiro's Lookout in the Vale. I guess they liked rings? ^^^
I didn't feel brave enough to get too close to the Angels HQ in G-0Q86, while an individual Angel is nothing for me to be concerned about, they may have been able to swarm me with numbers... ^^^
I was pretty relieved when I arrived at the Blood Reach, there were a few gate camps along the way and I lost my good friend in their scout Buzzard en route, but it was worth it to have a chat with the Blood Raider agents in the area ^^^
Feeling a little more confident when I was racing around high-security space, here's me whipping the back end of my ship around like a badass at the Devil's Dig Site ^^^
I quite like the Eagle(?) motif on the Reschard V disaster memorial, maybe if I put an eagle on my shoulder I'll become an elite pirate? ^^^
When I headed into the system hosting the Guristas Forward Operating Base I decided to keep my overlay switched on, primarily as proof I was there, as I couldn't get super close to the structure without drawing too much attention ^^^
Same thing when I went to the Angel FoB, as I would never align myself with such a pathetic entity, I unfortunately needed to keep my distance ^^^
I'm not going to lie, when I went to Yakura Harvesting Depot I really wasn't sure what I was supposed to me looking at.. there wasn't even anything to steal! ^^^
I thoroughly enjoyed the Assilot battle arena, what better way to demonstrate your strength than to take someone on, 1-on-1 ^^^
There were some other pirates waiting for me when I got to Fatimar Outpost, they were no match for this ship's agility though, and the skill of the pilot of course ^^^
Thera, where I simultaneously feel most at home and most a risk... ^^^
As a pirate, do I believe there is honour in the work of an Assassin? Yes, I think I do. ANd they appear to know how to arrange space rocks too! ^^^
And here I am at the Deathless Shipcaster in Zarzakh, using my superior skill at the helm to battle against the gravitational pull of the black hole.
So it took some time, but Jackbeard I believe you've been bested.
Love the write up!!
Well I'll be darned. Ye did it! Ye actually did it! Me unbestable voyage o' ruination has been bested. Ye, Wadd Enderas, are a veritable legend o' the stars. There will always be a place at me helm for ye, though I suspect yer fate will take ye towards a higher goal. I'll be tippin' me hat and swilling a grog for yer fallen comrade too. Twas a death worthy of a pirate lord.
Oh boy
'Oh boy' indeed, Wadd Enderas, if that even be yer real name. There's a reckonin' blowin' in. A reckonin', I says!
I'm a'callin' ye out, Alex Sinclair, ye lowly carebear. Call these bounties? Ain't nothin' but spit in my sherry! I mean, beer! Rum! Extremely strong piratey grog!! I'll show ye a real bounty!
See, with all the talk o' havoc and piratin', I've got a rather particular voyage I want to send me EVE crew on. A race through some o' the most blood-soaked hellish corners o' the galaxy. This won't be a challenge for the faint of 'eart. First, you'll 'ave to prove your worth.
Go and kill me a big pretty ship, then come back 'ere and show me the proof. A killmail will do the job. O'course there be one more requirement. After ye've blown it t' smithereens, declare "Long live Just About!" in local, and be sure to post the proof. Anyone who sends one o' those ships to the abyss will be granted a headstart on me voyage of wrath and ruination.
How big a ship, ye ask? A capital will be fine. But if ye can bring down a supercapital, that'll get ye an even bigger headstart. Now, I know none o' you are pirate lords - not like me, daddy bought me my gang fair and square, er, y'arrr - so ye don't have to kill it single handed. Hell! You don't even need to land the final blow! Just get ye name on the list'a'killers, and I'll grant ye early access to the next stage o' this 'ere bounty.
Think ye up to the challenge, mangey spacedog? Jolly good! Off you pop. Y'arrr.
Pretty rude, mate. No need for all that.
Oh quit your whinin' and snivellin' you... you... lily-livered scabby salmon! Yeah. You 'eard. You big salmon.
Leave the new guy alone! Mŷs Tæ Rae, the devious doyen of the digital domain, likes the cut of Jackbeard's piratical jib. Perhaps he can help me recover my passwords.
I've sailed from nebulae to frozen sea, ya don't need to protect me Mŷs Tæ Rae!
And keep yer 'ands off me jib! It took me blooming ages to work out how to hoist that.
Actually, I am the Pirate Lord :)
A pirate lord, ye? Ha! Ye almost made me spit out me skinny macchiato! Ye be talkin' to the scourge of the seven systems 'ere! Take up me challenge then and prove yer worthiness, lest ye be just another cowardly planetlubber in a pointy hat.
Picked myself up a kill on a pathetic miner, albeit a fairly large miner. Is this enough to impress you? 'Long Live Just About!'
Well I'll be darned, you actually managed it. Ahem, excuse me you took me off guard for a moment there. What I meant to say was: Hark ye by the thunderous roar o' triton! In the name of all the screechin' harpees and all the scaled beasts o' space and sea, I do declare Wadd Enderas to be a corsair o' true salt blood and iron spine!
I guess ye might want to be lookin' at this then, Wadd. Thanks be to Mŷs Tæ Rae for helpin' me set up the ol' Google thingy. I'll be sendin' you the secret password in secret, o'course.
As for any of ye other currs reading this... ye'll all be gettin' access to the race's details in 72 hours. If ye be wantin' me headstart too, ye only need to prove yer worth by completin' the same feat in the meantime. Yarr.
What even is this?
I've no idea what that Jackbeard fellow is up to, but we've got a big mystery bounty split into independent, unique challenges with big prizes. There are probably some clues around here somewhere.
This bounty be like nothing ye've ever run before! Tis a gauntlet thrown down for the ruthless and lionhearted, one with plunder beyon' the imagination, and challenges...well yar, I guess ye've explained it quite nicely actually.

there, I said it.
Ha, me neither. But those are the symbols I could make out in the images above. I don't have the time to figure out what this is just about badum-tss. So I will be watching with great interest, and keep babbling for the chance to have a chance, or so. Getting a lot of babbling is the risk one takes when posting "riddles".
greybill the fogs be clearin' now. This ain't no riddle-solvin' bounty like that o' Mŷs Tæ Rae - this bounty be o' a much more perilous nature. Tis an invitation to travel through some of the most bloodcurdlin' reaches o' all New Eden and beyon'. I'll point ye in the direction o' this 'ere thread. Ye should find all ye needs t' know.
Well well well... it seems like one brave briny soul has completed the first part o' me bounty and killed a capital ship. They've been granted early access to the details of me voyage o' ruination. Ye'll all be gettin' access in 72 hours, so watch this 'ere space.
Come back when the clock strikes one. Ye shall find yer route. Greenwich Mean Time, that is - the meanest o' all the timezones!

We killed this the other day, but I didn't shout “Long live Just About!” in local - it was late, and I didnt want to wake up the fedos!
Angel Cartel customer service -KAZOAR-
Damn, thank you Jackbeard for the comment, unfortunately i don't have the screenshot of me yelling Long live Just about in local, for the little story this guy and his friends were applying pressure on us for one day, we came back the next day to burn to ashes their athanor's shield, we burned it. Then the phoenix arrived, we burned the phoenix to ashes. Yo ho.
Batten down the hatches and splice the mainbrace - whatever the devil that is – because me race across the stars is very much on. Only one o’ ye managed to get a headstart and this voyage is a vast one, so all o’ ye stand a fine chance o’ glory!
To win me booty, ye must visit some of the foulest spots in this Eden o' ours. I've set ye a journey across the stars. But I will not be seen associatin' with anyone flyin' a ship belongin' to empire scum. This voyage must be undertaken in a vessel fit for a true pirate: an Alligator or a Khizriel.
Visit each o' the locations below, take a picture showin' ye at each of them while flyin' an Alligator or Khizriel, and post ‘em all as a submission. The first o' ye to do it will win treasure beyond imaginin'! By which of course I mean the bounty reward that's specifically advertised on this ‘ere thread. Ahem: y'arrr.
