Badge
Badges are bought in the palace shoppe of any island on a doubloon ocean for doubloons. These items provide the holder with the ability to hold a given rank, or lower, in a crew or the ability to take employment at a shoppe or stall to provide "offline" labor. A labor badge also enables the player to forage fruit from an uncolonized island
Badges last a limited amount of time, after which new badges must be purchased. There are two distinctions in how this time is measured. Login days refer to days in which the pirate holding the badge is logged in. Calendar days refer to days on the calendar, regardless of how often the pirate holding the badge logs in. Unlike other items that decay, mousing over a badge will display exactly how many days are left on it (font color indicates new, good or old).
When a rank badge expires, the pirate who held the badge maintains their rank. However, any ablities that the rank has over that of the cabin person cannot be executed. For example, a captain whose Captain Badge has expired can no longer modify the crew articles, promote or demote crew members, expel crew members, or command a ship with officer level control.

Historical Notes
- When doubloon oceans first came into existence, a rank badge was required to be promoted to a specific rank. This requirement was removed in release 2005-11-03, though the badges are still required to do any tasks which require their ranks.
- The Parlor Badge came into existence in release 2005-10-20.
- All badges originally lasted for 30 login days, including the labor badge. When release 2005-03-28 came, all badges were changed to last for 30 calendar days. The rank badges were changed back to login days with release 2005-03-30, but the labor badge didn't change.
