Public Statement
Ahoy! We are the Irish Rouges. Join our Crew! We have tons of fun, and are always pillaging. We often get asked to be an officer and most likely we'll say no. We love to develop new talent (especially ambitious pirates) but you've got to meet some requirements. First of all, officers must be trusted. So go on a lot of pillages with senior or fleet officers and show us your ability to take orders and your skills at different positions. Second, you have to have skills... at least two solids and the rest broads. The Navy is the best way to increase Nav and gunning skills. Don't ask to gun or nav. You can offer, but don't offer unless you're broad in those categories. Most commanding officers will have a gunner or will do it themselves. We have a lot of unlocked ships (including merchant class) and don't mind letting you take it out. Just remember to read the bulletin and obey the ship owner's wishes.
TRAINING
Below are some techniques we use in pillages and want everyone to understand them.
SWORDFIGHTING IN PILLAGES
TEAMING
When fighting during a pillage, the commanding officer will tell you to team up. This means that several of us will focus attacks on one opponent. To do this, click on the character on the right. Who you click on will determine who you are attacking - there will be a white border around the character that you are attacking. There will be dots next to the opponents' board indicating how many pirates are attacking the opponent. So if the CO (commanding Officer) says teams of 3, then move your dot to a character so there will be 3 dots on their board. Watch the chat during the fight. Quite often, who you are attacking will move throughout the game. The CO may re-direct attacks during battle too. Please watch for and follow these directions immediately. A good crew can beat an opponent who has better skills if they follow the CO.
ADVANCED SWORDFIGHTING
Ready to deliver a huge blow? Got a double, triple coming? Well, check out your opponent, are they almost dead? Would your attack have no affect? Then click on another opponent, deliver the blow, then click back. Cleavers and foils... Attacking cleavers or skulls (characters with butcher knifes or skull swords) are best for us. Their attacks are hard to fend off, so killing them first is best. Leave the characters with foils for last. Their attacks can easily be turned against them, so leaving them for last is the best strategy. There are other strategies, esp. when fighting human pirates that cannot be listed here. So listen to your CO and we'll make lots of money together.
BATTLE SITUATIONS
Always obey the CO or you may bet planked. If you are gunning and the CO orders you to sail. Don't get that last cannon filled before following the order. They're ordering you to another station because they don't need the other cannon filled and need you elsewhere. This is common and you shouldn't be upset. Ordering you to stations is the best way to communicate where the CO wants you (because it sounds a whistle).
OFFICERS
You think you got what it takes to be an officer? Well, if you're ambitious and trustworthy, then we want to train you as much as you want to be an officer. Let us know your intentions (so we can keep an eye on you), be willing to buy the badge, get your stats up. This includes gunning and Nav. You'll have to get your skills from the Navy in those areas.
