Public Statement
This crew exists
To you bewitch
With literary fun and games.
We love to play
With words - all day!
And so have earned ourselves strange fames.
Our wits are quick -
Fast as our sticks -
Though simple sense oft lags behind.
Still it is true
Friends never rue
When with Puppets themselves they find.
There is a Puppet called Rasputin
Our poetry contest he did win
His title to keep
Rivals he must beat
So for "Poet" please keep challenging.
Perilous Puppet Crew Rules:
An Exercise in Rhymed Couplet and Haiku.
1. Fellow pirates treat
With respect -greenhorn or salt
Likewise landlubbers.
2. Before boarding a ship at port or sea
Ask "Permission to Board" or PtB.
3. Shift and punctuate.
Graceful communication
Calms wrathful captain.
4. If you stop having fun
Go and drink some more rum.
To Cabin Person: Anyone who works hard and has a basic comprehension of how the "shift" key works is welcome to join. Just ask during the pillage and you will be invited when we port. Be forewarned! This crew promotes based on three things - attitude, word play, and skills, in that order.
To Pirate: At least one piracy duty puzzle with narrow experience and two with broad experience. None of these should have a standing of able. You should also have some experience with gunning, and you will need to write a rhyming couplet or haiku to be presented over crew chat in the presence of at least one Senior Officer. A standing of ocean-wide Renowned or higher in gunning *may* trump the experience requirements.
Officer promotion is detailed in our private statement. No one unknown to the crew is promoted directly to officer upon joining, though advancement can be rapid.
