The Black Flag Mariners

Crew History
The Black Flag Mariners is a crew on the Viridian Ocean. It was founded by Shmeernov on January 16, 2006. It was founded on this day because it was Martin Luther King Day. He was an African American civil rights activist who wanted equality for all. This is a way of honoring him without having him on their crew statement. The crew was formed under the common ideals of honesty, loyalty and respect. They strive to help those in need when they can. Although they were stronger; they went from 150 members and eminent, scoundrels to 18 members and rumored, sailors. They are currently seeking people to help them achieve their goal of reaching 150 pirates again and scourge the seas!

Public Statement
Things come and go and so do people...the unlucky crew of The Black Flag Mariners are just one of these things. We are a blackened hulk with a dream that may never become a reality. At the bottom of the food chain we wait for better tides and better winds favor us. We were founded upon common ideals of honesty, loyalty and respect but with all efforts in vain, we have fallen from them after the loss of several key officers. From 150 members and eminent, scoundrels, we scourged the seas but now we fall silent and mute. If you wish to continue the legacy of this crew we are beginning from scratch yet again. We are now down to the final few who are loyal to any flag who has convinced us with the power of words. We continue in our silent struggle to regain power and if you feel you have the guts to join us and the loyalty to serve in this crew then examine our requirements and come join us.
