 Crew Info

Truth and Justice be a fun lovin' crew and believes in fair play! If ye be running tricks, ye won't be here to stay!
So much for piratey poetry :) T&J is an international pillaging crew that aims to have a ship out 24 hrs a day havin' fun. Initially based in Europe, T&J now has regular Senior Officers on line around the clock, from every hemisphere and most continents. Rank is assigned based on puzzling ability, but also real life accomplishments.
Proper officer training for all who have the dedication is provided. Respect fellow pirates, crew or not, and keep in my mind this is an online game with real people trying to have fun! Last but not least...these very important words from the captain :) Yarr! lol! w00t!
Members and potential members are encouraged to check out our website at www.trustflag.org, and register with yer pirate name on the forums. Many announcements, discussions and events can only be found there.
Truth and Justice holds the record for the longest continuous pillage ever; an event they called the Best Bad Idea Ever.
Promotion Requirements
Pirate: Any subscriber
Officer: 3 broads or 4 narrows (incl. nav) in duty puzzles. Must also either demonstrate basic knowledge in taking a vessel out, or be willing to go through officer's training. The deed to a vessel is also desired but not essential.
Fleet Officer: Must be a well known and trustworthy mate. Should either have at least narrow exp and master standing in battle navigation, and know in depth how to run a successful pillage or have the backing of the Captain and the majority of Senior Officers. When considering an Officer for promotion to Fleet Officer without the required BNav level the following may be used as reason for promotion - Officer developing as XO.
Officer on the cusp of the required BNav rating where the required status is immenent. Officer providing other value to the crew may be put forward for promotion.
Senior Officer: All of the above plus experience with the crew. Expected to help with training new officers and crew issues. Captain: Every SO can be promoted to captain if they are willing to invest their time. The old captain can form a new crew, or the SO will be supported in getting a new crew going under our flag.
ALTS. Any alts joining the crew will be assigned the relevant rank according to their main account assuming that they are a well-known and trustworty mate. Alts may be promoted to Officer for a probationary period if they are not well known until trust is established.
FASTTRACK
If a member of crew demonstrates a higher ability then they may be considered for promotion prior to reaching the required levels (the only required criteria that would remain is trust!). Crewmates who are promoted before reaching these levels will still be seen as developing into the role. Any promotion may be reveresed or revoked at any time - if so the crewmate will be given the full reason for the demotion.
Crew Rules
Crew Colors: White-Yellow Free clothes will be given to new members. If yellow's not the thing, white-fav color will do. Crew colors not mandatory, but easy fer spotting teammates and officers.
Permission to Board: (PTB)
Please ask fer permission before boarding a vessel by simply typing "PTB <vessel name>?" on crew chat. The officer in charge may plank immediately if ye board without PTB.
Locked Vessels:
The captain will not lock any of his vessels, unless they be holding large amounts of stocks such as to accomodate a blockade. Even the Iron Hammerhead that is shanghaied is not locked :) We strongly urge everyone to unlock their vessels to the extent they can afford possible loss. In the event that the deed-holder of a locked ship disconnects during a pillage, the vessel is impossible to be ported by another officer and all booty is lost. Restocking and Porting:
Every vessel taken out, should be returned with the same level of rum and shots. There is no minimum, anyone willing to take a vessel, should be prepared to stock from scratch. Also please try to leave the vessel you take out, at a civilized island where a market is present.
