In Cornwall they were known as Wreckers, tied lanterns to horses tails to distract ships onto local rocks - they would kill survivors so they could claim the salvage from the wrecked ship I believe

I used to do a bit of cycling, but since doing a lot of miles on motorcycles I just canāt get on with bicycles, and having a dog itās a good reason for me and my wife to take him for walks and get exercise for all three of us!

Life at that era were no joke 
I find 1600-1800 interesting historically, pretty much anything from that era but perhaps most the old buildings. just picturing sitting next to fireplace with pipe and scotch in mug while the stew brews on fire, or wandering in the old town is wonder.
They wouldnāt have. Whisky at that time was very much a Highland only thing, and the Lowlands looked upon us as scum who were to be exterminated at all costs and all our culture destroyed. Most cities and towns in that time were in the middle of the Gin craze, a cheaply made and accessible drink. It was only very later that Gin became more socially acceptable among higher classes, in that time they were more likely to be drinking wines from the Continent. More well-to-do working-class people drank beer.
Pipes however were ubiquitous and would remain to be so for decades until the cigarette became more cheaply and widely available.
It would have been avoided except for the grand country houses the upper classes made for themselves. Buildings in the cities tended to be two types. Vastly overcrowded slums or poorhouses. Buildings out in the suburbs for the middle classes were kept far away from the inner city.
Very common but of necessity, and most of the stew cooked then would have people nowadays retching and running for the lavatory to throw up into it.
Perhaps not the wisest thing to do, given rampant crime and poverty and smallpox waiting to get you.
This was a time when if you had a debt of 5 pounds or more you were sent to the debtor jail, where even a debtor was seen as a commodity to be exploited.
Itās no surprise that for the vast majority of young men, their future was in the Navy or the Army.
Girls.
Well. They had only one option. Domestic service. Or they lived on the street.
The 17th to 19th centuries were quite possibly the worst centuries to be alive in if you werenāt very rich.
I can give you more detailed examples of Highland life if you want as Iāve studied it extensively over the years being of Highland blood.

i mean it can be of any alcohol from scotch to brandy, its the thought of relaxing next to fireplace with a pipe and mug of brandy example. any of it doesnt need to take place on the actual 1600-1800 era either which would increase the experience but wouldnt be possible. also i did say and i quote āLife at that era were no jokeā which should be interpret that im aware of the times hardships aswell.
i have interest on most things historical in general and i find old buildings and anything from these era interesting, and related the pipe i would chose the occasional pipe over tobacco at these days that ive quit smoking and have no interest on the habbit for other than occasional enjoyment like sit next to campfire with pipe or of such occasion like this fireplace in old building.

I wish we had a transmog option to hide the flaps on our tabards. Too often do they clip through 3D belts or just look plain silly on the back.
Currently have this issue: https://imgur.com/a/7AOa9wf
It makes me cross!
I have made a suggestion in game so maybe by the end of the Last Titanā¦?

In Cornwall during the period you mention, they had to enact a law to prevent land owners feeding their staff salmon more than 3 days a week iirc.
Iāve always had a thing about the early medieval periods, so I know where youāre coming from

Sport illustrated just got caught for use chatgpt and made up names for column writers, 3 bosses were fired so far. I see how this will develop, skynet is upon us 
I needed to change occupation after got fed on trucking and metal works on constructions I figured automation when it was increasing on industry and soon it just replaces all jobs at one point and im too lazy to study academic careers, i took papers in few years on automation/electrician. Factoryes running 24/7 by automation and humans needed in 3 shifts supervising and maintaining the machines now. Cant say Im a big fan on the kickstart of industrial era back on 1800+ or think it been a good thing, especially that it effectively expanded world population by 7 billion just in 200 years lol.

I think there is still a street in Edinburgh you can visit that is now a museum but gives the general feel of what the slums of Britain were like before the mass clearings made way for ābetterā housing (lol)
alot old towns around europe from england to germany and czech and france and the like that have structures from 1600-1800 eras. I would like to go wander in all of them if I can choose
cozy old villages in england countryside with very old taverns and the like, would be nice for holiday to go wander around. even my current town in finland is seen as āold townā it has structures going back to āviking eraā when people did trading with them from here, there is cozy old town and few good restaurants current.

Yea there is, and and itās not generally well known that the University of Dundee and itās immediate surroundings were built on what was once called The āBlue Mountainsā which was an ironic name given to the most deprived of Dundeeās slums. There is still a few tenement buildings in Dundee especially in the Stobswell area that still have outdoor toilets but thankfullyā¦ no longer serve that purpose. Most of these buildings didnāt have running water until the late 50ās and hot water was still very much, boil a kettle and pour it into the bath for only one person that night.
thanks, must been the wish! tier set or conq piece here, 8 bis vaults

Iām fairly certain that the asbestos shed in my back garden was originally an outdoor toilet.
We mainly replaced the slums with highrise flats that are now falling to piecesā¦ one block in my city was evacuated a few weeks ago because they discovered that it was built so poorly that it is at risk of falling down if there is a fire or explosion, people have been living there for 70 years and they didnāt use enough concrete or structural ties to make sure it was stable

the mold related problems are also notorious, vintage stone masonry or log buildings more common here are not affected by it for some reason, i guess the materials are better and more natural ventilation but just guess.
