Crew Articles

 * 1) Although we are a small crew, PTB (Permission to Board) is still required.  Before you board, ask over /crew chat to PTB . Once the officer on board gives you the ok, you can board. If he says no, then do not board or else you will be planked.
 * 2) If you are on a pillage, work hard at your station. Stay at your station and do not abandon it. Do not ask to gun, duty nav or B-nav unless ordered by the Officer in Charge.
 * 3) Do not laze, offer trades, play games such as Swordfight, Rumble and Treasure Drop if you are on a ship out at sea. You will be planked and have your booty share cut if this happens.
 * 4) Do not, under any circumstances, leave the ship while it is in battle. If your mom's screaming at you to have dinner, you shouldn't have logged on in the first place.
 * 5) Do not beg, spam or swear in any chat. Honestly, if you need poe, join a pillage or the navy and work for it.
 * 6) Members of the crew who violate the rules repeatly will be demoted and/or expelled. We're serious about this.
 * 7) There are a few crew ships which can be used by any officer without a ship. This is based upon the trust factor we have and expect of each and every one of you. Please follow the restocking instructions written on the Officer Bulletin Board on board the ship. Failure to restock or worse, stealing from the hold will result in dire consquences.
