History
Booching Blaggards was founded on February 13th, 2010 by a scallywag pirate named Xule and his trusty first mate, Alniyat, both of the crew Rated Arr (formerly known as Pirates of the Dark Sea), with full emphasis on creating a flag that is free to have as much fun as a pirate can stand on the Midnight Ocean. With the joining of the crew Ocean's Shadow and its captain, Rhapzody, the flag quickly began moving up the flag fame chart and within one month, the flag had reached eminent status and has since achieved #2 ranking with illustrious status. On November 21st, 2010, Ocean's Shadow disbanded and its members joined the Imperial Golden Dragons. Booching Blaggards reached #1 flag fame ranking, for the first time, on 23rd November, 2010.

Leadership team
The monarch is not considered the "ruler" of the flag, but is the figure head for the flag and is responsible for carrying out the flag's decisions. Flag decisions are made with the help of all royal and titled members of the flag along with input received by all other flagmates. All final decisions are then discussed and voted on by the monarch and royals. Royal members are the work-mules of the flag heading up the flag's treasury, events team and blockading team. Titled members are encouraged to help the royals out, but are not required to do so in order to hold a titled position. All royal and titled positions are given out based on their activity within the flag.

Current monarch, royals and titled members:

 * Monarch:
 * Stonebaby (Rated Yarr)
 * Royal Members:
 * Crazycory
 * Locu
 * Titled Members:
 * Alniyat, Anaerobic, Bloodydeath, Casdin Dogpile, Jyzen, Phakey, Ravenfan, Sweetmomma, Tlzallen, Xule

Summary
They are not a highly organized flag and have no set of rules that they strictly follow at all times. Their finances are structured so that they can cover whatever means of fun they are feeling like having on any given day or week. And their leadership team is set up in such a way that works best for them. Their monarch is their leader--not their ruler--and as long as he keeps the flag happy, they will follow him anywhere.

Their mission
There are many aspects to this game and they like to explore all of them! From events to blockades and pillaging to the parlor tables and every thing in between! But their main mission is this:
 * To see just how much fun they can have...or go broke trying!

Their stance on "official" allies
They do not have official alliances because of how the game mechanics work which would hinder their ability to explore and participate in all areas of the game. However, those pirates wishing to speak with the flag about an unofficial alliance, should feel free to contact the monarch or royalty to set up a meeting to discuss the possibility.

Their stance on war declarations
They don't go around randomly pushing the war declaration button on random flags, but harassing the flag or any of its members too much could land another flag a war declaration... and if it returns the war declaration, they will be more than happy to sink all that flag's ships! However, pirates feeling a little adventurous and who would like some PvP sinking fun, should feel free to issue a war declaration upon the flag--be it friendly or not friendly!
