Extended Public Statement

~ If ye follow The Code, if ye are loyal to The Code, if ye live by The Code; ye and yer fellow pirates shall be spared from the ocean's wrath and will rule these waters with an iron fist. ~

In order to live by The Code, ye must follow a few simple rules:

1. If ye leave during a battle, try not to win in a rumble/swordfight, or abandon a ship at sea; ye will be instantly DEMOTED or EXPELED! The ONLY exception will be if ye disconnect!

2. Try to be nice to ye fellow crew members. Dont curse them out or ye will be kicked out. Also, try not to curse. It is fine if it is in the crew, not being said to be mean, and not being said to people outside of the crew.

3. The rank ye are given is and will stay the same UNLESS ye raise yer levels to the next rank's requirerments. Please do not beg to be promoted. Tell the captain when ye raise yer levels and he will promote ye.

Crew Rankings: All must have the captain's trust and if ye are an officer, ye should have the dubloons, in pocket, needed to buy the badge of yer rank.

~Cabin Person~ There will be no cabin people as long as im captain. Ye will only be a cabin person until I get a chance to promote ye.

~Pirate~ Anyone may be a pirate. It is the starting rank from where ye are promoted after we can trust ye and ye improve yer levels.

( Notes for Officers: I want all officers to have at least a foil on them at all times. It is horrible to lose battles just because of yer swords. Please buy them. )

( Officer training program: I will at some point want to test all officers to see how well they handle themselves in a pillage. Either myself or any SO that has been tested can train you. Ask on any pillage to start yer training. )

~Officer~ Pirates that think they can make it as an officer must have at least 2 solids and 1 broad in the piracy skills to be promoted.

~Fleet Officer~ If life as an officer is boring ye and ye want more of a challenge, ye must have 3 solids and 1 broad in the piracy skills to be promoted to the new level of fun.

~Senior Officer~ Now if ye have proved ye are worth yer salt and ye have the extreme trust of the captain, ye may become a senior officer if ye have 4 solids in the piracy skills, a broad in battle navigation, and ye must have a ship of any size or shape or OWN a stall.

( There can be exceptions in the ranks )

Standard Stock For A Ship:

Every ship should have rum. Ye should have AT LEAST 30 swill, 20 grog, or 10 fine rum. For bigger ships, it is a good idea to have a little extra on board.

Cannon balls are not optional and ill tell ye why and i didnt originally believe it. They make ye more money!!! And if ye win, ye will generally get the ones back that hit the opposing ship!!! Ye should bring about 30 cannon balls of the correct size for your ship and it doesn't hurt to have some extra.

The only exception for not having rum on ANY vessel is that ye are making a merchant mission, if ye are on a greeter pillage, or when ye are moving a ship to another island ( not regular pillaging ).
