Extended Public Statement
RIGHT Welcome to Swords of Steal! To keep the crew as fun and as proficient as it can be, gotta enforce some rules, if ye stick to them then ye’ll have a good time. If ye don’t ye’ll feel the wrath of several mates. So here we go. Always ask for PTB (permission to board!) on crewchat. If you get no answer, send a tell to a pirate on board the ship: This is because the ship might be on a trading run and it is important that only one pirate is aboard, or the XO (Executive Officer/Officer in Charge) might not want any more pirates on board. If you do board without permission you may be planked without notice. YE HAVE BEEN WARNED!

DO NOT ask to gun or navigate. Also on NO ACCOUNT should you take either Gunning or Navigating duty stations without being asked to. This can cause anger and confusing with fellow mates! If the XO needs somebody to do these duties he/she will choose and ask somebody. Especially during battles the XO is busy, and disturbing him/her with questions that could wait until port could cause a loss of concentration leading to a mistake which could cost all of us PoE. And nobody likes to lose PoE ... If you leave in battle you'll be in for some stern fishslapping. Be nice ok? Or you'll suffer the wrath of many many people.
