Extended Statement

Ahoy Mate!

Welcome to Elysian Fields. Let me ask ye something…what comes to mind when ye think of Elysian Fields?

Nothing!? Shiver me timbers, you need an education!

First, throw any old ideas you have of Elysian Fields overboard! Did ye throw them? Good!

Now, let me tell ye what comes to mind when I think of Elysian Fields…

First, top notch leadership. Take a look at the old salt we have in this flag:

Our Monarch Elizajean of the crew Dark Water keep us in line and has been known to force troublemakers to kiss the gunner’s daughter! Better watch yer arse or she may poke ye with her hook (which I hear she hacked from her own body mind ye). Aye, she a tough old bird, but she be fair!

Surfie, now this a lass if ever there were one. She be so enchanting, she captures crews and after a bit, they are begging to actually stay with us. She be a chamelion indeed.

Now that Isabellgrace, she be full of piss and wind...oh and great idea's too. She runs the events and makes the days in EF fun and usually prize filled if ye get my meaning...

Trixylicks be in charge o' tha gold mind ye. She's got an eye fer that poe and she be counting every piece. So don't get any funny idea's or she'll send ye Davy Jones. Oh her wrath be mighty mate.

Stickyikky, well being one of the few men in the bunch, he's kept around for....other reasons mind ye. But we can't talk about that here lads and lasses. I hear tell those stories are ban worthy! ;)

Scoobdoo be an excellent lad. He be the newest of our Princes. Due to his previous work experience (wink) he's our personal private eye! He's a little rough around the edges, but as long as we have plenty of scooby-snacks, he's fairly well behaved. But man, watch out for the days when we run out! ;)

Then thar be Dmitry. He is the youngest of our loveable princes. Fair minded and always the peacekeeper. Ye know ye will always get a fair shake when good ole D is on the job!

Now the Lords and Ladies know the ropes and can give ye a hand where ye need it. Many a new lad or lass have joined and risen through the ranks due to the leadership of the members of this flag!

Now, how about the pillaging? Oh, the pillaging…how I love the pillaging.

With so many crews, ye can always head out into the briny deep to make lots of PoE! There’s always someone online, as our members span the entire ocean! So, if ye want to have a good time, you’ll always have the opportunity with Elysian Fields!

It’s lonely out on the open sea and one always looks for mates to keep them company. Join Elysian Fields and watch your Hearties grow! You’ll never be online alone again!

Sick and tired of the same old crew! Joining a flag introduces you to a treasure chest of crews! Meet pirates from all over who have all sorts of different experiences sailing the Midnight Ocean. Elysian Fields is a flag that believes in inter-crew relations (no, not those kind of relations…keep those amongst yer own crew) so ye’ll meet new people all the time!

Well, I hope you learned something here. We’re a bloodthirsty bunch with high expectations. If ye should want to join us, send a tell to one of our royalty and they’ll look over ye. We always welcome new crews but be warned, if ye don’t live up to our standards ye could find yourself visiting Davy Jones’ Locker! However, live up to our standards, and ye’ll find yourself in one of the most fun and friendly flags in the ocean!

History

In fall 2004, Quixaroo started the flag Elysian Fields. It was made up of crews who were united for the purpose of attacking Namath Island. Not long after, dissent arose within the flag. Some people didn't agree with decisions Quixaroo made. This, and the fact that the flag had already waited months for the opening of Namath by the Ringers, resulted in Elysian Fields finally falling apart. Many crews left and the flag eventually asked Quixaroo to give up the monarchy. After some arguments with the flag, she left and a new monarch had to be elected. The new king was Honeybeard, of the crew The Templars, who took over from temporary monarch Faust.

When Namath finally became open for blockading in July 2005, Elysian Fields didn't have the required fame to blockade it. So sadly, the goal that the flag had been brought together for to begin with wasn't attainable at that time. After a couple of months, Honeybeard couldn't spend as much time as needed for the tasks of a monarch, because real life demanded his time. A new monarch had to be chosen by the flag again. Two candidates stepped forward, Fallen of Templars and Ladiesman of Dark Water, one of the smaller crews of the flag at that time. Ladiesman became the new King and the Templars left the flag.

The departure of the crew was a shock for the flag, because the Templars had been the richest and most powerful crew in the flag. But Elizajean of the Templars stayed in the flag with a new crew, Celtic Raiders. Under the reign of Ladiesman, the flag's goals changed. It was intended for Elysian Fields to become a flag of friends, where people would feel welcome and enjoy being there.

After four months, however, real life intervened and Ladiesman had to step down. He recommended that royalty choose Elizajean as the new monarch. It was an unusual step, because the new monarch should be elected and the old monarch shouldn't have a say in the matter. Some of the crews disliked this and demanded an election. Elizajean immediately agreed to this, but still trouble began to brew in the flag.

At that time, Honesty said she had interest in the throne, too. Because Elizajean and Honesty shared the same goals, ideas and hopes for the flag, they agreed to be co-monarchs of the flag. That decision came to pass in January of 2006. Partly because of the disagreement over new changes in the flag, but primarily because Monkey Militia had other goals than the flag had, they left. Dark Water remained as the last crew of Quixaroo's original flag. Honesty and Elizajean were left to build the flag up from scratch. But sadly, after only a few month, Honesty decided that the game didn't hold the pull on her it used to and she resigned as co-monarch and left the game.

In June of 2006, Elysian Fields won Frond in a blockade against Marauders Pact and Ars Piratica. After some months, when other crews had joined the flag, the fame rating hit illustrious and the flag decided to attack Ostreum Island in December of 2006. They won convincingly in three rounds, beating Superlemon Krakatoa and The Pack.

In August of 2007, Elizajean has announced that she will be stepping down as queen. She was an outstanding monarch and the longest reigning monarch in the flag's history. Surfie of The Get of Fenris and Isabellgrace of Red Herring stood up as candidates for the throne, and Elysian Fields had the election. For the first time, not only did the Royal Council vote, but so did the Titled Members of the flag. By one vote, Surfie won the election, and became the next queen of Elysian Fields. Elizajean retained her monarch status until October 6th, when Surfie was officially crowned with an event, Surf's UP!
