 Crew Info
| |
Unscrupulous RumRunners is a group of independent-minded pirates with diverse backgrounds and bad internet connections who work well together. Historically small, the crew has grown considerably larger and more active in recent months. Most crew members are enthusiastic pillagers, and several run profitable stalls and shoppes as well. The crew contains some highly skilled puzzlers but remains open to all. In addition, a number of dedicated poker players have been on the roster at various times.
Crew History
The crew was founded by longtime YPP player Mackus in February, 2007. Real-life commitments prevented him from putting enough time into the game, so on June 15 he transferred the crew to senior officer Captainflood with the hope of staying active. Unfortunately, he remained busy and was unable to keep up his game presence. Captainflood has remained captain since the transfer.
The traditional crew colors, purple and lime, remain in place to honor the crew founder. Maroon, navy, and white are heavily favored as well, but purple and lime is by far the most memorable combination. ;)
From the beginning, the crew was a member of Riddlemakers, with Mackus holding the title of lord within the flag. Midway through January 2008, Unscrupulous Rumrunners switched to Brink of Dawn to take an active role in establishing a new flag. It has been a good fit, with the closer timezones allowing all BoD crews to benefit and reinforce each other. There were no hard feelings during the switch, and Riddlemakers remains a trusted ally and source of friends.
