Public Statement
Welcome to Reality. We are a fun loving tight group with a strong connection. Please note, Realitys officers are mainly adults and at times the officer chat can be of an adult nature. Please take this into consideration when joining.

Reality's structure is always evolving around the crew. As times and the game change, we also have to change, so you need to be flexible and open minded to be a successful member of the Reality Family.

Variety:- We offer a variety of options for you to become involved with, such everything from green pillages sloop up to WF, High Stat pillages, PVP hunts, BK hunts, Merchanting, and training in all aspects of the game.

Reality have had a great 2 years on Viridian, I would like to thank all those who have helped make this crew as well known as it is. We would also like to thank all those for their hard work in making Reality the #1 crew on Virdian for quite some time, but here on in, we will now be concentrating on the actual crew, its goals, and skills, rather than having the #1 spot. Reality is NOT stepping down, but we are changing the game play. We have proven we can get and keep #1 but its a lot of hard work and at times not fun. we would like to find the fun again.

If You want to Merge with us its on MY terms as you must fit into MY structure, and NO I wont pay you to merge with us so Don't ask for that!

Reality hope's you join the winning team and become part of the dream that has become a Reality!

Crew Articles

 * 1) Manners cost nothing so use them!
 * 2) Always obey your Senior ranking crew member!
 * 3) DO NOT ask to be promoted, the rules for promotion are quite clearly listed in this page! (You may bring it to our attention that your stats are of the required standard.)
 * 4) PTB (Permission To Board) must be requested on crew chat before boarding any vessel unless requested to board for a pillage by the OIC! Remember to state the name of the Vessel you wish to board!! SO's and above never need ask regardless!!!
 * 5) Only the owner of the vessel is allowed to take money from the coffers, trade commodities and split the booty! (Exceptions will be made for "Crew Ships" where the OIC may take the remainder after restocking)
 * 6) During sea battle please refrain from all chat as the OIC (Officer in Charge) needs total concentration in order to make sure they can enable us to win the SF to win you your BOOTY!!!
 * 7) You must NOT leave during battle unless it's an emergency, this could be the decider as to if we win the battle or not!!
 * 8) Begging will not be tolerated, there are many ways to earn PoE!
 * 9) Lazers will NOT be tolerated during a pillage, the only person allowed to be lazing is the OIC or XO's (eXecutive Officer) as they may be doing things required by OIC's and XO's during a pillage. If you are lazing you will get 3 warnings then be planked!
 * 10) If you need to be absent from your PC during a pillage you must leave the vessel so you can be replaced with someone who can work! you can come back on board afterwards!
 * 11) Regardless of it being your ship, if you leave it abandoned at sea, you will be Court Marshaled! the reason for this is a PvP ship can still attack the empty ship and take all your booty, and lower the crews standing!
 * 12) All crew must make every effort to help on pillages in action as this is the best way to earn your PoE and gain recognition for future promotion!!!!
 * 13) Only the Captain (Ryannakjk), First Mate (Rudebwoi), or any SO may expel or demote a member of the crew!

Easy, just ask the officer holding the pillage if you can join, ideally at the end of a pillage! This gives you a chance to see if you like the crew, and the officer a chance to see if you will fit in with the crew!
