Crews are the basic unit of social organization. Anyone with Narrow experience in all of the piracy puzzles and sea battle, and the deed to a ship can make themselves a crew. On subscription oceans, you will need to be a subscriber before starting a crew. On doubloon oceans, you will need a Captain's badge as well as ten doubloons in order to create a crew. The "Create a Crew" button will appear in the Crew tab of any crewless pirate who meets the requirements for captaincy. Crew members will need to purchase appropriate badges as well.
People in a crew can board each other's ships and go pillaging and take other voyages together. There are six permanent ranks (in addition to the temporary rank of jobber), described in the pages linked at right. Each rank gives all of the powers of the previous rank(s) as well as extra abilities.
A crew with sufficient fame may create a flag, which can be used to unite several crews. Additionally, on doubloon oceans, the cost for a crew to create a flag is 20 doubloons.
Crew Politics
Crews have three options for their governance, or politics, system:
- An autocratic crew is governed by the Captain. Only the Captain can promote Senior Officers and change the crew articles.
- An oligarchic crew is governed by the votes of the Senior Officers. They, along with the Captain, may propose issues for a vote. If a majority of active Senior Officers vote in favor of a resolution, then it passes. If the issue remains up for a vote for three days without reaching a majority, it will pass if over half the Senior Officers have voted and, of that half, the majority is in favor.
- A democratic crew is governed by the votes of all members of rank Pirate and above. Decisions in Democratic crews require either a majority vote of the membership or, as with oligarchies, a vote of a majority after three days. Any member of Pirate rank and above can post an Issue.
A crew's politics may be changed at any time via the procedures of decision-making stipulated by its current politics setting. In all three systems, dormant crew members, including the Captain, do not get a vote. If all of the voting members according to the current politics become dormant, the crew politics will automatically move down one level.
Crew Articles
Crew articles are the rules by which a crew divides booty shares among its members and jobbers after pillaging, its statements, and its politics. These articles are set by a crew according to the decision-making system dictated by their Crew Politics. A crew's articles are viewable on its info page (except the private statement to non-crew members), and the booty share is listed on the crew's Notice Board listing when a it is hiring jobbers, so that people can decide whether to job with that crew.
If these are changed, a message is sent to all online pirates in the crew (both permanent and jobbing members). If the booty share is changed, any pirates on board a ship will recieve an alert stating this, though the booty shares will not change for ships already on a voyage.
Leaving A Crew
To leave a crew, first open the crew info page. Scroll to the very bottom. There will be a button that says "Leave Crew". When it's clicked, a prompt will come up asking you to verify you are leaving. If you click "OK" at this prompt, then you will leave the crew. If you leave, an officer can invite you back.
Also, if you accept a crew invite from a different crew, you will automatically leave your first crew and join the other one.
