Thee Rise of Orion

History Thee Rise of Orion was founded in early 2012 by Straft. Public Statement If ye like to pillage, want to learn, or advance to being an officer, this be your crew. Extended Public Statement Our recruiting is open. Talk to any officer if you are interested in joining.

Also, recruiting crew for the flag West-East Campaign. Send a tell to Straft or any of the other royals for more information.

Rules:

1. Respect everyone else in the crew. If you have a problem with them, feel free to tell them. But unless there's a good reason for it to be out for everyone to see, keep it to /tells.

2. Always ask permission to board before getting on a ship, unless the commanding officer says in crew chat that everyone is welcome to come or calls all hands.

3. No fighting, and keep cursing to an absolute minimum in crew chat. If there are jobbers, keep the crew chat clean.

4. Do not abandon a ship in the middle of battle except if you absolutely must. Always tell the commanding officer why you have to leave if you really must leave. This means not just when the Sea Battle starts, but also everything from when the pursuit of the enemy ship begins to the end of the sword fight when the booty won begins to show. If you leave before that part starts, the ship will receive less booty, and you won't be counted for taking part in that battle.
