Extended Public Statement
Try not ta be too surprised when we shout yer name! And feel free to shout back! Yeeeeeehaw!

Those saloon doors swing easy, so it be easy ta join us fer some fun! But if yer no good, don't be surprised when they hit ye right quick on the way out!

No longer a new crew. Yes, we're recruiting, but probably not doing much intensive training like in the old days. If you're looking for a crew that dabbles more-than-most in blockades and general PvP mischief, this might be the crew for you. We don't tend to run from PvPs, and we are often plotting some kind of evil.

But the odds are good you probably aren't the type we're looking for. Most people are idiots. No offense.

Distinguishing Traits
Jobbers are generally shouted at upon boarding a ship.

Shouting back is accepted and encouraged.

Recruitment is open and active, but picky -- PoE and Battle Navigation success are not acceptable reasons to join this crew. Cabin people and pirates can be removed by any senior officer for any kind of spamming or begging, and such a decision is final.

Crewmates frequently greet each other with extended versions of each other's names. For example, if Pardner came online then people would greet him by shouting "PAARRRDDNNEEERRRR!!" This is believed to have been started by Sweetandi.
