Autobiography
Early Days (2004)
Piplicus started off as a greenie in early May 2004, where he switched between numerous crews, including Black Sails and Imperio, before settling down in the currently flagless Dawn Traders crew. There, he subscribed, and quickly rose to the rank of senior officer. However, after an incident with a particularly obstinate greenie who then went on to complain to the captain of the time, Kaaky, he was thrown out of the crew. Kaaky believed that Dawn Traders was a crew who was respectful to all, and maintained that respect was paramount. However, this comment would haunt her in the future.
Crewless, he then set up the crew Reality Bites, and then recruited the avatar artist Thyla into the crew. With just two sloops and a cutter, they started the flag Expetamus Praeda (latin for we expect loot).
After recruiting no other crews, they ditched the flag, and was welcomed with open arms into Midnight Horizon, which housed Dawn Traders. All was well for quite some time, as the flag rose to 15th in Diamondblade's list of flag 'fame' (fame, as we know and love - or hate - wasn't around then). The flag focused on getting an island - Zeta or Eclipse. However, this started turmoil, as there were (rightful) allegations of secret meetings. Piplicus does not deny being in a few, but maintains that they weren't all that important.
