Moonlit (crew)

Moonlit is a crew that sails the Viridian Ocean. The crew currently flies the flag of Sailor's Delight.

Moonlit describes themselves as a tight-knit group of pillagers ready for what the winds may blow their way. Promotion within the crew is tough in order to allow the crew to be small but ferocious. Whether that be Imperial brigands, barbarians, or other pirates, they will fight and not back down. They enjoy holding regular crew events aimed at bringing all crew members together for the sake of good fun.

History
Moonlit was founded by Jonzo and Midnightmoon on 3 August, 2006 with the goal of bringing a small group of pirates who work well together.

On August 5th, 2006, a combination of insomnia and an ending summer led to Eggplant deciding to try to pull off a large-scale pillaging endeavor: visiting every single island in Viridian in one, theoretically continuous, pillage. After doing some basic math, it was realized that this wasn't feasible and the Viridian Tour became the Jade Tour, a pillage of a more or less circular route to all islands in Jade. What was intended to be a non-stop pillage was eventually broken up by crew members needing to rest, spreading it actually out over three days.

Moon Tunes for Porky Brady was an crew event that took place on August 20th, 2006. It featured two sloops manned by members of the crew racing from to  to visit Porky Brady. The event featured cash prizes and a black bandanna for the crew and commanding officer of the winning ship.

On 3 November, 2006, Moonlit reached a rank as eminent sea lords with only thirty-seven pirates.

Moonlit: It's not the size, tis how ye use it.

Crew Articles
Ahoy Maties! Moonlit is the crew for you if you want a small group of indomitable pirates who love to pillage or just hang at the docks! We regularly hold crew events to help out those who want to refine skills or just to have a laugh. We wish to keep our crew small, but don't turn away new members, although this results in us being slightly strict about promotions beyond Pirate as we wish to ensure that officers have a good knowledge of crew operations long before reaching this level.

We are an open and honest bunch who helps crewmates out in any way we are able and expect this to be reciprocated by all members. If you think this is the crew for you join in a pillage or send a tell to any of the Senior Officers.

Crew Colors
The crew colors of Moonlit are intended to reflect the night sky: a primary color of navy or aqua with grey as the secondary color. While use of crew colors is encouraged, it is not mandatory; minor variations upon this color scheme such as blue and black are also considered acceptable.
