In Briefs They Were Born
The crew Lightning Surrounded was formed by Sammybingo in April 2007 on the Midnight Ocean. The crew got its name from a song Sammybingo was playing at the time of creation.
Story Thus Far
Some close hearties were quick to jump ship from other crews to join, Maevetherave and Emojack. They brought along their own hearties, and crew numbers currently stand at 11 active pirates. 5 members form the core of the crew, Sammybingo, Emojack, Piratepif, Maevetherave and Tiswasgirl, and some pillaging happens most days. It can be an overwhelming experience to job for the crew as they are very crude in their humor.
The crew took a few weeks before joining a flag when created. An advert posted by Scupperer in the YPP forum for flags looking for new crews took Sammybingo's eye as it was smeared with comedy and adult humour, and after a chat with Scupperer, the crew joined Spirit of The Game. A shared sense of humour meant the crew were happy here for a short while, but many of the other crews in the flag were based in the USA, and time differences meant Lightning Surrounded didn't often see other flag members. It was with reluctance that Lightning Surrounded took the decision to move to another flag, Rise of Asgard, many members of which are based in the UK. Here the crew have found what feels like a family home and made some great hearties.
Future
The crew has been slightly reluctant to recruit new members to date, as they enjoy the feel of a small tight knit crew. However, as they have become most established, they are begining to consider allowing more people to join the crew.
