Crew Articles

We are a small community wich is trying to do everything as a team (pillages, pvp's, blockades, sea monster hunt, crafting puzzling, etc) but consequently getting bigger and bigger.

Therefore, our main aim is to create a place where you can enjoy the gameplay , have fun and learn to cooperate with other players but also feel that you belong to one of the ocean's main crews.

Note: We like to believe that our unique system of values, based on support and friendship can overcome any egotistic perceptions some pirates achieved. Be sure you understand what we expect from you before joining our ranks.

General Rules

1. Do not leave a ship while in battle without a proper excuse. It is disrespectful and leaves the pillage runner shorthanded for the remainder of pilly.
2. Do not spam or trade goods on ships. You will be planked for such offences.Don't ask to set sail the officer knows when to set sail and asking is very annoying.
3. Laziness during battle while stations are open is Not Allowed, as the payment system is done on the duty report, and if your not dutying then the payment is lowered.
4. Use PTB (Permission to Board) when trying to get on a ship. This is required for all ships smaller than a WB. SImply type PTB +Ship name and you wil receive a responce immediently.
5. Be friendly and polite.We don't need bad behaviour in our crew.
6. Respect higher ranks.
7. Don't send challange puzzles while pillaging. Also don't change stations if you are not ordered.
8. Don't shout unless you are officer or above.
9. Don't ask to gun or navigate.The officers themselves will tell you if anyone is needed for that job.
10. Do NOT bother battle navigators, bnavy needs a lot of concentration.

Officer Rules

1. Don't leave the ship abandoned at sea.
2. Stock the ships as they were before the pillage. (Some of them are empty so you need to stock them, in order to run the pillage. The officer bulltein board on the ship will give you a slight information about the reccomended supplies you need)
3. Stealing, cheating or scamming are forbiden as such things are totally incompatible with our system of values. Such practices will bring both administrative measures within the crew but will also involve blackspots and complaints to the Ocean Masters.
4. Attack only Brigands , Barbarians And Merchants. (If you plan on attacking real players please talk with a superior officer)
5. If you win KB ( kraken's blood ) you'll have to give a +1 to every pirate on board that pillaged with you and stayed untill the end of the pillage.Also you aren't allowed to sell it , the captain will sell it and give you your's 50% cut for it. ( The other 50% will go to the crew fund as there are no obligations set to donating )
