Flag articles

If you are interested in joining our flag, please keep in mind that most of the members of this flag are adults: we tend to let things get R rated on FO chat. Please take this into consideration before bringing a crew with delicate sensibilities into the flag.

The royals here have been known to subject the flag to a barrage of wit that some have suggested borders on spamming. Again, please take this into account if you are considering joining Vanguard.

Royal positions and titles are not automatically awarded to anyone, but are earned by demonstrating with deeds that a pirate is loyal and committed to the flag.

We have been known to pvp allies. Be warned!

History

When the crew Ocean Generals joined the flag, the flag began a quick rise to power. Vanguard took over Terra Island, Olive Island, Napi Peak, and Cochineal Island. After a failed blockade for Dendrite Island (they forfeited early in the blockade so that they didn't sacrifice a large number of ships for an outpost island), Vanguard's enemies decided to take out Vanguard in one day. In October 2006, all four islands controlled by Vanguard were blockaded. Olive and Cochineal were taken, though Olive was retaken the following week.

The first monarch of Vanguard was Calais. The most recent one was Whiterose. Currently, Vanguard is without a monarch.

Vanguard became the # 1 flag on the Viridian Ocean on August 23, 2009.

On September 26 2009, Vanguard became the first flag to hold 7 islands at the same time.
