Public Statement
This was the Public Statement in 2006.
Ocean Generals was created by Rayn, it still has the longest continuous reign of any crew atop the fame list lasting from early September to early January. It at its height has had in excess of 700 members and is in the process of growing again. We are a crew that is heavily based on pillaging and is happily a member of the flag Vanguard. We will not be interested or even remotely entertain any flag invites so please do not give us any.
History
Ocean Generals was founded in March, 2005 by Rayn with one sloop. The crew quickly grew in both fame and size. The crew was at the top of the fame list from early September 2005 to early January 2006. After the retirement of Rayn Ocean Generals managed fine for a few months until the retirement of Ochubb and Djbuddy, the last of the old guard. Though Alandrya had always been a great Senior Officer and extremely loyal to the crew, her interest in the game was flagging. But the thing that really began the decline was the fewer amounts of pillages that officers in the crew were conducting. Ocean Generals had always been popular because of their frequent pillages, and had also used them to recruit. With the officers becoming lazy and focused on politics the fewer pillages led to a steep dropoff in crew membership. In OG it had always been hard to advance through the ranks and so because of this new officers excited about pillaging could not quickly replace the now lazy and retiring officers. The downward spiral continued and today the crew has less than 10 active members. Sirjynx, who took over when Alandrya quit the game as OG began it's collapse, has become dormant. Before the final decline took place OG left Vanguard due to their indifference to Ocean Generals(refusing to put a member of OG as royalty) and joined Riddlemakers.
Crew Rules
General Rules
1. Be polite and nice to everyone.
2. Don't send a tell to the bnaver in battles as it disturbs them. Also, keep vessel chat to the minimum while in battle.
3. Obey officers and be a good pirate.
4. Don't leave during battles. You will get a minus share if ye do.
5. If you are a pirate of the crew, don't gun unless you are ordered to do so. If you gun without permission, ye may be /planked without warning.
6. Don't shout in vessels. Shouting is intended to be for crew's officers only.
7. If ye own a vessel, plz write yer name down on officer bulletin. If ye are not an officer, please ask any officer to do it for ye.
8. Use PTB (permission to board) on ALL sloops and cutters

Officer's Rules
1. Don't leave ships on uninhabited island.
2. Restock the ship after using it as its suggested on officer bulletin of the ship.
3. All hold items that are located on the ship before ye take it out should not be touched. Foraged/Pillaged items from when ye used the ship should be sold and used for restock. Anything left after that is yours.
4. Leftovers from restock money belongs to the bnaver (commanding officer). This is intended to be an incentive for all officers to take ships out and pillage.
5. As an officer, ye are not allowed to take any ship bigger than Cutter unless with owner permission or if its yer own ship. Two War Brigs are open for all officers use: Good Pickerel and Social stickleback. (NO permission is needed for those two ships).
6. On all pillages requiring an XO the CO is to give 10% of his final restock cut to the XO as a payment for a job well done. If the CO feels the XO undeserving he/she may take that up with a Senior Officer or Captain.
7. Restock instructions: if no instructions are spicified in officer's bulletin, here are the Guidelines:
Sloops: 20 Rum, 80 Small cannon balls. Cost to fully restock: 2000 POE. Minimum booty needed to cover the cost: 6667 POE.
Cutters: 30 Rum, 110 Small cannon balls. Cost to fully restock: 2870 POE. Minimum booty needed to cover the cost: 9567 POE.
Brigs: 150 Rum, 300 Med cannon balls. Cost to fully restock: 15300 POE. Minimum Booty needed to cover the cost: 51000 POE.
Frigs: 200 Rum, 400 Large cannon balls. Cost to fully restock: 24800 POE. Minimum booty needed to cover the cost: 82667 POE.
At the end of every pillage all earned items must be sold and added to the booty by using the trade commodities option in the booty tab.
Pillaging Command
War Brig and War Frigate pillages: Ocean Generals is a very organized crew. On ships that are bigger than cutters, we use the XO system. XO means Executive Officer. While at sea, the pillage leader is called the commanding officer. His/her primary job is to take care of battle navigation. the next in command is the XO. XO job is to assign stations to 4 officers and supervise them. Those 4 officers are called Station Heads. Station Heads should count all free stations (from vessel menu) and announce that on vessel chat. This keeps all stations filled most of the time allowing the bnaver to reach his/her potential which leads to more successful pillages.
Maxing Information and ships details
This is the number of cannon balls needed to max every ship. Remeber, your goal in bnaving is to max your opponent before grappling, so you might need this. http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Ship
