"Thy" OTOH is the possessive of "thou" which is a second person singular. Note: it's a familiar pronoun which means it's used with family, close friends, and social inferiors (If you're familiar with Spanish, it's equivalent to "tu.") "You" can be singular or plural, but as a singular, it's considered formal which is to say it's used with anyone you wouldn't use the familiar form with. Given that captains and crew would be socially inferior to admirals, I can't ding you on that count, but do try to have the numbers and level of formality agree.
- If ye wants to be murderin', pillagin' pirates of old, then take it out on thar Jungle Elf's fleet. The fine folks o'Freeland done gave us Letters of Marquis Marque ("Marquis" is a noble title.) to keep them heathens away from the fishin' fleets, and that suits us just fine.
- No slaves. Not unless yous be wantin' to test thy sword against paladins. (Ouch, just ouch)
