Ship Renaming Rules
Standard
- The ship rename follows the "Adjective Fish" format.
- The adjective must be defined as such on dictionary.com.
- The fish must be a one or two word fish name found on fishbase.org.
Custom
- All non-standard renames are "custom renames".
- You cannot get a discount for only renaming half of the existing ship name.
- Allowed names may have up to three words in them, all of which must be real words in English as defined on dictionary.com.
- Proper nouns without another common definition may be denied.
- Possessive names such as Bow's Ship will not be allowed.
- Any rename for a famous fictional or historical ship may be allowed as a custom name such as Queen Anne's Revenge.
Exceptions
- Any rename deemed to be inappropriate by an Ocean Master will be denied.
- Should a rename be found to be inappropriate after the change, it will be renamed again to another name of the same cost.
- No renames may start with an article (for example, "The", "A").
- Vessels will not be renamed to any existing ship name.
- Exceptionally difficult-to-spell names may be denied.
- Numerals and Roman numerals may not be included in renames.
How to Request a Rename
- Only captains may use their crew's shanghai points. If the crew has no captain, please name a person who has authorization to use your shanghai Points in your crew's private statement.
- Shanghai points cannot be traded between crews and may only used for renames.
- Shanghai points can only come from up to two crews per rename.
- Captains may grant permission by posting in their private crew statement:
- the name of the player who has permission to use the shanghai points
- the specific number of shanghais that may be used by this person
- Players who have permission to use shanghai points must use them all at the same time.
- Petitions for renames must have the following information:
- Proposed ship name
- Current ship name
- Size of vessel
- Location of vessel
- Source of the shanghai points if you are not a captain
- Do not shop around to different Ocean Masters if your rename has been denied. A rename denial from one Ocean Master is final.
- The revisions to the policy mean that some previous names that were granted are no longer valid or the cost for them may have been changed. No retroactive renames will be granted in such cases.

- A petition to transfer the island should be made before the end of Monday the following week. Please include a link to the original Parley post as well as the flag who will be taking over the island and any other information you deem necessary. Transfers should only be happening on Mondays or Tuesday to give everyone a chance to prepare for any blockades on the weekend.
- The fee may be paid directly to an Ocean Master, or it can be left in the hold of a ship, shoppe, or stall with a note in your petition about where to retrieve the money.
- The flag who will be taking over the island must have the required fame for owning an island of that size.
