Captain's Titles
"If a person with a title is promoted to Captain, the title is not shown on their info page, but it remains. If the person later assigns a new captain, their original title returns. This hidden title does show up on the flip side of portraits, however."

I believe this was changed in a fix, allowing both a person's title and rank to appear on their info page. This however, caused some people to appear as "Captain and First Mate of [crew name]" so a later fix allowed for captains to change their own titles. Therefore the quoted above is out of date and could be deleted?

Captaincy as a separate article?
I'm toying with prepping a Captaincy article, basically to answer the eternal "What does Captaincy entail beyond badge/ship ownership?" and "Should I become a captain?" questions. They seem to be popping up a fair bit on the Forums as issues, so could probably benefit from a centralized article on the subject (Ultimate conclusion would probably be something like "If you have to question if you would be a good captain, it's probably not a good idea to push the button.") The goal isn't fearmongering per se, but my intention by it is to turn people off of the idea of "Being a captain is fun and easy!" Fun, perhaps, but far too many people assume it'll be much easier than it is, or deal with the difficulty by doing a poor job at it. Anyway, I'm ranting. Is it worth compiling? --Teeg 19:26, 20 January 2006 (PST)
 * You could do it as a tutorial. Make sure to add in info gleaned from the should you start your own crew thread in uhm Parley as that was a very good pile of advice. --Guppymomma 14:03, 21 January 2006 (PST)

WHAT IF there is no captain who decides who the new captain is?
 * The crew's senior officers (if the crew is Ogliarchic) or the whole crew above pirate (if the crew is Democratic) may vote for a new captain once an officer proposes to promote someone. If the crew is Autocratic, it will automatically become Ogliarchic if left without a captain. --Belthazar451 06:51, 27 June 2008 (PDT)

Navy/Crew Captain
Captain is a Navy rank as well as a Crew rank. Should we have a disambiguation? –-Athenenoctua 02:24, 13 March 2006 (PST)

Seems like too much work to go and change all the captain links on fame and crew pages so it avoids the disambig page. --Sagacious 03:57, 13 March 2006 (PST)


 * How about add a thingee at the top like on cleaver because the majority of folks searching for this page will be those looking for the crew style of captain? --Guppymomma 05:37, 13 March 2006 (PST)


 * Yeah that sounds like a good idea. --Sagacious 05:48, 13 March 2006 (PST)

Too many Captain's?
Is it possible for a crew to have 2 captains or even more than 2?......If it is possible can captain A demote /change captain B's title? Oh and will the 2 captains(if it is possible) or more(2+) have to vote if one of them tries to change the articles in an AUTOCRATIC crew?

For now these are my only questions about this and if i have anymore I will add them T rex75 22:22, 22 January 2008 (PST)


 * A crew can only have one captain. If the current captain of a crew promotes someone else to captain, they will automatically be demoted to senior officer.  -- Cedarwings (talk) 03:19, 23 January 2008 (PST)
