Public Statement
Ahoy there mates!

Welcome to the Polish War Fog crew! We are a friendly, outgoing, and fun crew, looking for pirates with the same outlook. We have outstanding crew members that are ready to help new pirates in working their way to Fame and Glory! Unlike some crews, we will rise to become the greatest crew in the entire Ocean....or at least give as much as we possibly can. As a result, we will become better in every aspect that is required of a fine pirate. Like most crews, we have rules which all members shall follow. Whether you're a Cabin Person or Captain, rules are rules. Once you show the skills and dedication, you may be trained and/or promoted to Officer/Fleet Officer/Senior Officer, but you must prove yourself. So join us! With your help we can rise to our former glory as the #1 Illustrious/Imperial crew in the entire Ocean!

General Rules
First of all some useful basics and rules which have to be respected by everybody:


 * 1) PTB (Permission to Board) – Each time you want to enter a ship which sets sail, you need to ask a PTB on crew chat, and wait till the officer in charge will "grant" you the permission to board. It’s really important to follow this "discipline" rule, cause sometimes people don’t want to have more people on board (like sailing with cargo and only bots or other situations).
 * 2) Always listen to officer in charge after boarding a ship, this includes also no Swordfighting, Drinking, playing Treasure Drop and so on during pillage. Furthermore, lazers will be planked after first warning.
 * 3) If you really need to go during pillage/battle tell this earlier to any officer on board, this will prevent from having an undermanned ship and becoming an easy target for player vs. player battles.
 * 4) Be nice and polite to everyone, don’t offend other players, insult and so on. Although the game is censored swearing won’t be tolerated, and may result in expulsion from the crew, especially while hurting other people.
 * 5) Don’t ask to gun or for promotions during pillages, it can be easily done while ported. What’s more, don’t ask to gun or take gunning stations if the officer doesn't ask you to do it.
 * 6) If you are a newbie, and just starting playing the game, visit Puzzle Pirate Forums for useful help, take navy missions to get experience, read tutorials or ask other crew mates if you have any problems with something.
 * 7) Remember about teaming in swordfighting battles (How to team: click on the portrait of the person which you want to attack, a dot will appear in colours of your sword). Remember, good teaming is a key to the success in sea battles. Never team more than 3 people on one person, usually team in the groups of 2 or 3 people, don’t play solo (1 on 1), and remember while playing vs. computer that the person in their team who wears hat is always the captain, and you should attack him in the end, after all other bots from their crew are eliminated.
 * 8) Don’t spam crew chat, vessel chat or, if you are an officer or higher, officer chat and flag officer chat.
 * 9) Cause there are a lot of people in different nationalities, crew/vessel/officer/flag officer chats are reserved to only English. You can speak with your country people in your native language using tells. Why this rule? You don’t wanna read or scroll this ^$%&$&$ etc. trust me.

Officer Rules

 * 1) Never leave ship on an uninhabited island (especially without cannonballs and rum).
 * 2) Restock ship as detailed in officer bulletin on the ships. If it isn’t written how much cbs/rum should be restocked, use this info:
 * 3) Sloops 70 small cannonballs and 20 rum
 * 4) Cutters 100 small cannonballs and 30 rum
 * 5) Brigs 150 medium cannonballs and 100 rum
 * 6) Frigates 250 large cannonballs and 150 rum
 * 7) Never sail undermanned ships, you need to have at least 5 people on board (or 4 if you are sailing alone with bots), losing a pvp while sailing an undermanned ship will result in consequences provided by SO or captain.
 * 8) Remember about current allies. Don’t attack allied ships, and for god sake if you do, don’t grapple them, we don’t need to cause any problems to our flag.
 * 9) Remember that attacking dark blue or light blue ships, can result in fighting Black Ship, just keep it on your minds.
