Captain's message
Welcome

Loyal Swordfish is an old crew who needs some new faces. Like most crews, we've had our ups and downs and now we're heading back up again! We're actively recruiting now; so if you're an inexperienced pirate looking for somewhere to learn, or an experienced pirate looking for somewhere to advance, please contact an officer. All are welcome as long as they practice honesty and respect. --- Dellabelle

Violation of the rules may result in booty reduction, planking, demotion or expulsion. If you have an issue with the rules or how they have been interpreted, bring it to the attention of an officer. It may not be resolved immediately, but it will be addressed appropriately. If you wish to contact someone who is not online, PM them through the forums.

Promotion requirements
We recognize that not everyone will excel at everything, which is why promotions are handled on a case-by-case basis. If you have shown interest, we will promote you when we feel you are ready. Do not expect to be promoted just because you have asked or immediately upon joining the crew. We want to get to know you because being an officer is about being trusted and respected.
