Crew Rules
Basic Rules
1. Follow all requests and orders given by Officers, Senior Officers, and of course the Captain.
2. Only ask to join or be promoted at port, if you ask at sea, it will be ignored. Do not ask to be joined as an officer; you will be denied! You have to work your way up through the ranks in this crew just as every officer in it has.
3. Please keep the crew chat at a PG-13 rating. Violation of this rule can result in demotion or if you are cabin person, you can be expelled.
4. Never board a ship without asking for PTB (Permission To Board). Failure to use PTB can result in planking, unless the ship is in port. If Officer training is in process, it will be announced and you won't be allowed on a certain ship until it is over.
At times there will be an officer(s) who will be sailing solo either memming routes or doing a merchant run (i.e. transporting goods), and when doing so, are trying to avoid battles. So less pirates on board means less of a chance to be engaged by another ship. So always ask PTB.
5. Be respectful to ALL people in this game, even if they are rude to you.
6. If you leave during battle you WILL be demoted or expelled.
7. No BEGGING of any kind will be tolerated at any time! That means, no begging for poe, no begging to pillage, if an officer wants to pillage, he/she will.
8. Remember its just a game, have fun! That is what we are all here to do! Its all about the fun!

1st offense: verbal warning

Promotions are not made solely upon your stats, those are just some of the pre-requisites for the position. Your character as a person, and your willingness to help others and the crew will also be major factors in any promotions that may or may not take place.
Keep in mind that begging for promotions is frowned upon and does not help you, but hurts you. The Captain has the final decision in all promotions beyond pirate.
History
Greek Fire was founded on May 29, 2005, by its original Captain, Professeur. First mate Joff was also one of the founding members of the crew. In rather short period of time Greek Fire grew to a modest amount of pirates and soon became a strong crew on the Viridian ocean. The first flag that the crew was in was Moros de Mindanao (MDM). After a short while Professeur thought it better to move the crew into the flag Brethren of all Coasts, where the crew Death's Shadow was already. This move ultimately brought together Professeur and Kenna together and they were married in game a short time after. After being in the flag for a while, the flag started to degrade and Professeur tried his hand at making his own flag, Le Feu de la Mort. This was a fast growing flag, with in a month there were about 300-400 members in the flag. Then during December of 2005, Professeur stepped down as captain and monarch, due to real life issues, and promoted Redrumcherry to captain of the crew, and handed the reins of the flag over to Kerix, captain of the crew Vim. Shortly there after Kerix also left the game for a short while to do real life issues, and Redrumcherry moved the crew into the flag, Teh Booch, Blackmaria was monarch. Greek Fire was welcomed with open arms into this flag. After about a month, Redrumcherry stepped down and promoted Montecarlo (current captain) to the head of the crew. Montecarlo kept Greek Fire in Teh Booch for as long as he could, but do to some politics and not wanting to be at war and possibly loose some of his crew's ships, decided it best to move on. Dopefish a hearty of Joyceann (Senior Officer of GF) was more than happy to have the crew join his flag Revelation. Greek Fire had finally found a home in a flag that was friendly and always helpful, until turmoil tore the flag apart in late June and early July. Oneeyedbob (senior officer of GF) and Montecarlo co-founded the short lived flag Tears of the Phoenix, but after a few weeks, real life interceded again and the flag was disbanded. Greek Fire is currently independent and actually happy with that for now, as we are in need of a break from flag politics and such. We currently have a standing of Celebrated Dread Pirates and with a recent merger now boast a crew number of 75.
