Crew Info

Phoenix Ascension is a crew that sails on the Meridian Ocean, formerly the Malachite Ocean.

History

Phoenix Ascension was founded on Malachite Ocean on December 21, 2008. Two days later it founded the flag "Lighthouse Beacon", which is consistently in the top 5 most active flags. Although it was originally a small crew, it has grown to a size of over 100 committed members. Within this time, the crew has also gained Illustrious crew fame and is consistantly in the top 5 crews on Malachite. Members are known to wear a fashionable Maroon and Aqua combination, although crew colors are worn voluntarily.

Phoenix Ascension was not always known as "Phoenix Ascension". It was originally known by the name "Shining Sabers" led by the Captain "Mrlepirate". Mrle eventually left the crew and a Senior Officer, Glorius, was given the Captain spot. Glorius later decided to switch the crew name to Phoenix Ascension. Glorius soon became inactive January 1st, and went MIA to circumstances no one knows of. The current Senior Officers then were Saltypaws, Alise, Almontscourt, Ampersand, Lewwyn, and Mrlepirate (after returning).

The crew then had to decide which direction to take, realizing they were in a stuck position with their crew and flag, Lighthouse Beacon (which Glorius had created before going inactive, leaving Saltypaws the only active Royal). The Senior Officers came together and decided to pursue their crew/flag without Glorius, but leaving him a spot well known in their hearts. The crew, after re-establishing themselves, improved their stats, heavily recruited, and formed a solid base while recruiting crews into the Flag.

After a time, when the crew was steady, an Senior Officer change was made to accommodate the newly changed crew. Almontscourt, Ampersand, and Mrlepirate were dropped for Bunnyspawn, Hissy, and Gallo. Alise was ranked up to Captain, so now the crew is run with a steady hand.

Glorius has returned recently and now plays actively with Phoenix Ascension. He decided to step down to Fleet Officer and does not plan to take over leadership over the flag and/or crew. He feels that Saltypaws and Alise have spent a lot of effort into making this crew how it is and does not feel it would be right for him to take leadership away.

After showing considerable loyality and support to the crew, Bren and Glorius were promoted to Senior Officer. The crew is showing more interest in blockades and flotillas.

CREW FAME

Fame is a measurement of a crew or flag's activity. When a pirate plays a puzzle, the pirate's crew and flag both receive credit towards their fame. If the pirate is jobbing, the pirate's own crew/flag and not the crew/flag they are jobbed into receives the credit for the activity. There are, from lowest to highest, eight levels of fame: Aspiring > Rumored > Noted > Established > Renowned > Celebrated > Eminent > Illustrious Your pillages help us get a better rank on our "Crew Fame".
