Game merchants or crew name?

Is the reference to "Merchants" supposed to be a crew name, or is that the name for the game merchants? --Behindcurtai 17:04, 3 April 2006 (PDT)

Are you referring to this part?

"Word on the streets is that the Thoughtful Merchants be sailin' the <ship class> <ship name> wi' a crew o' <crew rank> this way from <starting island> with a load o' booty."

I think that's just someone forgetting to replace "Thoughtful Merchants" with a crew variable...Or are you referring to something else? --Emufarmers 17:17, 3 April 2006 (PDT)
