History

Sanctuary first came to being in early 2007, when friends Podling, Guinethe, Nepenthe, Fijichik and Morkaleb wished to have a sanctuary away from the less immature players that plague the oceans. Requiring that all members be 18+ and polite meant a small crew of friends. Over time Sanctuary's fame grew (#30 in the crew fame ranking) despite their small numbers, and they formed a flag, the Grumpy Old Pirates, with plans to blockade. Then-captain and King Podling tired of Puzzle Pirates in July 2007 and quit the game for six months, handing over captaincy to Nepenthe. Royalty of the flag was divided, and its members soon left without the direction of their former king. Nepenthe also deserted her duties as captain of Sanctuary, and the crew fell into disuse.

Upon Nepenthe's return to playing Puzzle Pirates more actively, she merged the crew (all 3 members) with the crew Super Heroes under the flag Undeclared.

Podling returned to find his pirate in a new crew, flag, and war. War hurt his pillaging runs and he wanted to re-form Sanctuary, but did not want the hassles of being captain again. Nepenthe also missed Sanctuary, and agreed to captain it if Podling and Guinethe were to come on as Senior Officers (and in truth, crew leadership is done by this triumvirate.) Thus was Sanctuary re-formed in January, 2008.

Public statement

A sanctuary for adult pirates.

We're a pillage and Atlantis-loving crew, with almost daily runs.

We don't generally recruit strangers, so come play with us and get to know us if an all-adult crew appeals to you.
