History
On December 17, 2006 the captain, Seadogpete, created the crew Kismet. Kismet was born to provide a place to pillage and have fun with friends, the way the game was intended to be played.
On December 20, 2006, Kismet decided to make their own flag, Destiny, so that the ideas behind their crew could be shared with other crews in the ocean.
On May 31, 2007, the Flag of Destiny welcomed the fine crew I want Your POe.
In June, 2007 Dragons of Tangra merged with Kismet.
On September 12, 2007 - Kismet achieved #1 on the Crew Fame board with only 98 live members.
In late 2007, I Want Your Poe merged with Kismet, again increasing the depth or puzzling experience on the crew.
Promotion Requirements
- Cabin person: Any Pirate that proves they are a good worker on a pilly and asks to join our crew. This is the highest rank that can be held by non-subscribers on the game.
- Pirate: All Subscribers are automatically promoted to this rank Please inform a SO or the Captain if/when you subscribe
- Officer: 3 Solid Experience levels in the Piracy Skills area (ie..Carpentry, Bilging, Sailing, Gunnery, Navigation, and/or Battle Navigation AND to have achieved the rank of Master in at least one of those disciplines. 1 broad Experience standing in a Crafting Skills area (ie..Alchemistry, Shipwrighty, Distilling, own at least one ship, and complete Officer Training. Please note however that Trust of the Captain is important, so the puzzling criteria alone will not guarantee automatic promotion - also if you do own a ship you will be expected to at least be Neophyte in BNav before venturing out on your own. If pillying a ship you will be expected to be at least Distinguished in Bnav before leading your own pillies.
- Fleet officer: Trust of Captain and crew as well as 3 Weighty Experience levels. You must also have achieved at least Master in two piracy skills, and also own a ship. It is also preferred that you have at least some Bnav experience with the Navy. The Captain reserves the right to promote outside this criteria if he feels that the Promotion is deserved beyond doubt - please note that the Puzzling requirements alone do not automatically guarantee you a promotion to this Rank. Also please please take heed that hassling the Captain or SO for this rank or above does nothing but annoy and cause suspicion, and likely to result in a demotion or expulsion if persistent.
- Senior officer: This rank is only reached once you have the complete trust of Captain and crew and have proven effective in pillies - not only taking part, but also leading a pilly - or as an effective XO or you contribute vastly to the day to day running of the crew. Please do not ask to be promoted to this level, as it is an honor and will be given when the time is right, and the Captain sees fit.
- Captain: Position filled.. sorry =)
Please also note that if you are joining the crew from another, and that for example you were an SO there, it does not automatically guarantee that you will hold that same rank in this crew. In fact in the case of SO you will NOT slot straight into that position until completing a trial period within the crew. We are however always looking for new mates to join - we pilly lots and endeavour to keep the game as it should be - fun for all. Our mates are from around the globe, meaning there is usually something going on. We are also mainly an adult cre, so please also consider that when joining =)
Public Statement
Kismet - That which is inevitably destined. The magnetic attractive force that actualizes the playing out of karma..
Welcome to our friendly, fun loving crew! Here we intend to play PP in the spirit it was created - a game to be enjoyed by all!!
A place for lost souls, new members and old timers...
Inappropriate behaviour, constant rudeness - whether it be working with the crew or while jobbing will NOT be tolerated - so expect little mercy if found guilty!!! All complaints to be directed to the Captain or an SO. (Please note - inappropriate comments of a sexual nature to minors will result in expulsion at the VERY least!!)
Simple rules for pillies - Always ask Permission to Board a ship (ptb), never leave during battle and work hard.
If taking out one of the ships - ALWAYS restock at the end of your journey or pilly with what was there when you set out!! Also if mates are in trouble on a pilly please try to help out as much as possible. Follow these easy rules and we will all get along just fine!
There are no fees for being on this crew - your efforts on our pillies are more than enough to earn your keep! There is however a voluntary crew fund.
We come in peace - so let us pass 'Cos if ye don't, we'll kick your.....
If any of the above upsets or offends.. then maybe you should take some time out to take a reality check...
