General Rules

Crew colors are Maroon and white or vice versa

Do not leave a ship while in battle without a proper excuse. It is disrespectful and leaves the pillage runner shorthanded for the remainder of pilly.

Do not spam or trade goods on ships. You will be planked for such offences. Don't ask to set sail the officer knows when to set sail and asking is very annoying.

Laziness during battle while stations are open is Not Allowed, as the payment system is done on the duty report, and if your not dutying then the payment is lowered.

Use PTB (Permission to Board) when trying to get on a ship. This is required for all ships smaller than a WB. Simply type PTB +Ship name and you wil receive a response immediently.-

Be friendly and polite. We don't need bad behaviour in our crew.

Respect higher ranks.

Don't send challange puzzles while pillaging. Also don't change stations if you are not ordered.

Don't shout unless you are officer or above.

Don't ask to gun or navigate. The officers themselves will tell you if anyone is needed for that job.

Do NOT NOT EVER bother battle navigators, bnav needs a lot of concentration.

Officer Rules

Don't leave the ship abandoned at sea. Stock the ships as they were before the pillage. (Some of them are empty so you need to stock them, in order to run the pillage. The officer bulltein board on the ship will give you a slight information about the reccomended supplies you need)

Stealing, cheating or scamming are forbiden as such things are totally incompatible with our system of values. Such practices will bring both administrative measures within the crew but will also involve blackspots and complaints to the Ocean Masters.

Attack only Brigands, Barbarians And Merchants. (If you plan on attacking real players please talk with the desired officer in charge of that vessel, as we dont want to start a war)

Thank you.

Note: You will stay as a cabin person until you improve your stats (standings at puzzles)

Pirate- A pirate is the person who pillages with the crew,unlike cabin they respect the crew and have it as their own. Just because you are a pirate does NOT mean you can gun on a pillage without permission. You will be planked if seen gunning without permission, continuous offenses will get you expeled.
