A '''shanghai''' or '''shanghai point''' is given to a [[crew]] when one of its members [[subscribe]]s or buys [[doubloon]]s for the first time.  Each account has only one shanghai to give; at the time of an account's first payment, the shanghai is awarded to the [[crew]] of the pirate most recently logged in on the appropriate type of [[ocean]] (subscriber or doubloon).  Shanghais are used for [[rename|renaming]] [[ship]]s and crews.  The number of shanghai points a crew currently has (as well as the crew's total accumulation) is visible on the crew's information page by the [[captain]] and [[senior officer]]s.

=Shanghai Use=
Shanghais may be "spent" to rename ships and crews.

==Trading and Selling Shanghais ==
Shanghais can be traded or sold by crews, however the shanghai points cannot actually be transferred to another crew. What is actually being traded is the right to use the shanghai points for a rename service - they cannot be in turn resold.  The exception to this is in the case of a crew [[merge]], which combines the Shanghais of both crews.

It's advisable to petition unless it's a "X can use shanghais as much as he likes" situation. Granting permission in the private statement works fine if it's a trusted first mate or something, to save petitioning regularly.

The Ocean Master performing the rename will deduct the number of sold shanghais from the seller's crew as well as any additional shanghais needed for the rename(s) from the purchasing crew. Remember that shanghais for renaming purposes can only come from up to two crews.

=Historical Notes=
Shanghais were introduced with {{release|2004-02-09}}.

Crew renames were added to shanghai usage on March 3, 2004.
