Favicon.png Crew Info

The Static Stars is a dormant crew to the Midnight Ocean. Although a relatively new crew, its members hope that it will grow in both fame and in crewmates quickly.

About The Crew

The Static Stars is a crew based on friendship and crew activities (including intercrew competitions.) They are open to both new players and old players alike. One of their goals is to have an even amount of new and old players, so that they can learn from each other.

The crew colours of The Static Stars have been under debate for sometime now, though for the time being they have settled on navy and yellow. Their biggest problem is that their captain wants colors that are celestial because of the crew name, but is tired of blue and gold.

The Static Stars fly under their own flag Aurora Borealis. At this time, there is not much going on with the flag, since its members are focused on their crew right now. The flag colors are magenta and purple for girls, lime and aqua for guys.

History

The Static Stars was founded on May 8, 2009 by Aelyanariah. Since then they have mostly focused on recruiting new crewmates, working on important crew decisions, and creating a crew webpage around which many of the crew activities will center.

Stats Needed
  • Stats don't matter

Crew Rules

  • Most importantly, be kind. This crew does not tolerate rudeness.
  • Always try your best to help other crew mates who need you. This includes answering any questions that they may have, whether it be about the crew, or the game.
  • Do not bug officers about promotions. If you have met the requirements for promotion, you may mention it to an officer, once. The only time you may ask more than once is if that officer has not responded to you in some way for at least three days.
  • Always ask permission to board (ptb) if there is someone on a ship, and never, ever job someone who is already on a ship, unless you have their permission.
  • Please read any new news. Usually it is just the captain updating crewmates on the crew, but sometimes it really is important.
  • Have Fun!
  • As the crew becomes more established, and especially once the crew webpage is done, more rules will be added.
