Mildly Amusing

Mildly Amusing is a crew on the Emerald Ocean. It was founded on the Sage Ocean on 21 August 2005.

History
Hinga's Herbs and Mices was founded by and Kingofcards of Midnight Ocean's Mice of Vengeance, along with several other members of the crew including Mousebeard. The crew was created to visit on Sage, where it was intended as a shrine to commemorate the Mice's efforts and celebrate Hinga's success. Solgun was initially introduced to the crew to scout prospects for the Midnight crew to move to Sage, but was allowed to take over.

The crew changed its name to Vulpes Vafrae as a fresh start, in August 2006, after the two factions went their separate ways.

At some stage during early 2009 the crew merged into Mildly Amusing, a crew which still has "Vulpes Vafrae" in their public statement..

Notable Pirates
Hinga and Kingofcards were the creators of the crew on 21 August 2005, just three days after Sage Ocean was opened, making Hinga's Herbs and Mices, now Vulpes Vafrae, one of the oldest crews on the Ocean. Since then, many notable pirates have sailed with the crew, and while some have moved onto other crews, they are still Vulpes Vafrae pirates at heart.

Public Statement
We are Vulpes Vafrae, "The Cunning Foxes".

Once known as Hinga's Herbs and Mice’s, we were one of the very first crews to be created on this fine Ocean, by Midnight's "Mice of Vengeance", and Princess Hinga.

When the Midnight crew had ported on Hinga Island, named after the Princess herself, a single vessel was left stranded. The remaining crew took it upon themselves to gather the charts, badges, and crewmates necessary to sail the vessel to what is now the inhabited isles of the Gull Archipelago. The Midnighters then hauled anchor, and headed back home, leaving a few good friends behind. Little did they know that the crew would continue without them.

Times have changed since "Hinga's Herbs and Mice’s" was created; we've increased in numbers, our fleet, and the sizes of our purses. We've seen fit to detach ourselves from our Midnight roots with the change in crew name, and a Flag of our own. But what has not changed are our ideals. We're a family here, and we help Pirates to have fun, and to develop as individuals. We offer a comprehensive training program for new officers, of which we are very proud, and we are always on the lookout for bright and able new pirates who want to learn the ropes.

If you wish to join our ranks, survive a plank-free pillage as a jobber, and then ask any Fleet or Senior Officer to join. Unlike other crews we do not base promotion decisions on your Standing, Experience, or what a luminary you were in your last crew. We do, however, base our decisions on whether or not you follow orders, and the respect you show both your peers, and our officers. Show us you are mature enough to join and we will happily welcome you aboard. Vulpes Vafrae are proud to be different, and there are several examples of how we differ to other crews. For example, unlike other crews, Vulpes is run by the Senior Officers and myself. As Captain I am merely a figurehead for the Council that run this crew. Also, anyone above the Fleet Officer rank purchasing a portrait, will have a second copy funded by the crew, and placed in the Crew's Portrait room, and we also intend to run competitions and Events, when the Crew has become large enough to do so.

Vulpes is also the Crew behind the Ocean renowned Event, Sinkfest, details of which can be found on the Y!PP forums.

We are a real family here, so come join us, and find out for yourself, the advantages of being a "Cunning Fox".

Fair winds, and the Fox's Luck,

-Captain Domokun, Vulpes Vafrae
