Welcome To Viridian Sailors! We are a Close knit Pillage-based Crew. If you are interested in joining a rapidly growing crew then this one is for you. All pirates of the Viridian ocean are welcome to join our ranks, with a single, simple requirement. Know how to team up in a sea battle. Teaming Is the difference between winning or losing a fight. To team, all you have to do is just click on the picture of an enemy fighter, or use ‘A’ and ‘S’ to cycle up and down. Teams are Of two's and threes so if an enemy already has three circles on an enemy, don’t join them. Always keep an eye on yer target, and make sure to reteam when yer target dies. (announced in HUD format). Do not solo! If ye do choose to join our fine crew there are some rules that ye must follow: When ye are on a ship ye are expected to do the job the commanding officer asks or tells you to do. Crew mates that ignore commanding officers orders or just like to laze about and do no work at all are at liability to be planked form the ship. We are not uncaring, communicate. Requesting an alternate station for those w/o the ability or experience to do said task will gladly be reassigned. If you have to leave the ship for reasons beyond the realm of the sea, please tell your officer in advance, and please DO NOT leave during an engagement! We cannot bring anyone on board during this time, and one person might be all we need to change us from winning to losing. Don't blame anyone if you lose a sea battle. The crew is a team, and this angers everyone and ye might get planked. If ye have any questions about joining please contact me or any of my fine officers. Immediate promotion to Officer rank for those who are currently Officer or above already, with steady promotions after joining. Cabin Person Reqs: Read the rules, ask. Pirate Rank Reqs: Get a badge, ask again. Officer Rank Reqs: Have a rank of Broad in Carping, Bilging, and Sailing, some experience in Gunning and Naving, and must show a knowledge of bnav.

Current Crew Activities: Officer Pillages every Saturday Frig pillages every Sunday Blockades every week (optional) Private Statement CREW BULLETIN BOARD Our Flag forum address is: http://s13.invisionfree.com/rato Officer Rules: Fleet-wide rules: If you use a ship that does not belong to you, you must restock it to the desired amount of the boat owner, according to the owner’s wishes on the ship’s officer board, or, should no info be understandable from there, the default status below, or the pre-pillage stock, whichever is larger. Even if this means using every last coffer! Sloops: 30 scb, 15 fine rum or equivalent Cutters: 40 scb, 20 “ War Brigs:60 Mcb, 50 “ (these are the approximate supplies needed to complete a ten league pillage, adjust accordingly for long trips, and consider whether isles along yer journey have reasonable rates.) Minimum crew: Don’t leave port w/o this amount on board, at least, and don’t the the bots! S:4 C:7 WB:12 Ownership rules: Sloops’ and Cutters’ ownerships must be clearly labelled on the officer’s board, and should remain unlocked unless holding cargo mid-shipment, or other reasons require it, which should be told to the cap’n and/or posted on the ship’s board. Sloops and Cutters cannot be refused to be used, unless the requesting officer has records of poor commanding, which then should be informed to the cap’n. This is to maximize the fleet available to our shipless officers. Borrowing rules: In any case possible, inform the owner of any use of their ship, whether it be when ye start, or if they not be on, a short message on the officer board. Do not reduce the money that goes into the coffers during booty dividing, this is strictly prohibited, as the money in the coffers Is for restocking with. After a successful pillage, ye may withdraw a percentage of the remaining share as an ‘Officer’s bonus. The standard rate is 50% of the pillaging profits, and 25% of trading profits (profit made from commodities that the officer purchased) to the owner of the ship, with the the remanding pillage profits divided in equal shares to the officers, and the trading profits to the purchaser’s. leaving the boat you take out on a uncivilized island forfeits your officers share, and should only be done in emergencies, and (even worse) just abandoning the ship at sea can cause ye to forfeit more. War brigs and above are only taken out under the following conditions: Pre-launch approval by the ship’s owner or the captain, detailing where she is headed. A Second Officer to be in charge of guns, gunners, and greenie problems. Sufficient crew to help (At least 10 normal crew/screened jobbers) Check the jobbers! WBs are not the place for greenies and slackers. Senior Officers MUST keep an average of one pillage every 24 hours. Fleet Officers must pillage as much as possible to keep your rank. All Officers must pillage on average 5 days a week to become a Fleet Officer. Any FO or Officer may vouch for a potential new officer Officers in training have the title of Midshipman, they are to pillage with other officers only, to learn the basics of being a officer. This lasts for about a week.
