:OOC:

For anyone who wishes to join, or know our rules, please read below.

1. The most important thing to know about the clan is that we are a roleplaying clan, we do take on the roles of our pirates and act them out. To be a member you MUST roleplay atleast 25% of the time while on the character.

2. You MUST have a pirates name, or something that could possibly be a pirates name.

names such as Daring, Iceeee, Diamond are not acceptable

names like these are also not acceptable: Ima_pirate, seaman_stains, captain pugwash for obvious reasons.

names acceptable upon my deeming: insignificant_rower, the_cannon_loader, Parrot, etc

names acceptable: any pirate name such as Smithers, past pirates, http://www.io.com/~sj/PirateNames.html

sir names not acceptable: Lord, King, Captain (anything to do with leading the boat)

3. Just because you are a pirate does NOT give you the right to be offensive to other players. I will not turn away any player who wants to join, but if I find out you are being offensive to other players, you will be removed. Anyone not inside the clan, please memo me if you feel that one of my members is being offensive outside the comfines of being a pirate.

4. Gold will be given out on a basis of how often you are on. Yes, you do get payed for being in the clan, percentage is set up right now as 2% of what i make + 1 gold peice a day, however if I do not see you on enough, then you wont get payed. I do not pay you guys to roleplay, or to keep you in the clan, I pay you on the basis of keeping you from overthroing my power, any pirate would try and keep his crew from performing a mutinee (sp?)

5. If clan members decide to take control of the clan, you can do so, I mustn't be warned by ANY clan member ahead of time and you must pk me with a clan member by itself or clan members (that means no out-of-clan alts) in a pk area (not arenas). I will then give control of the clan to the member who killed me or to the person who came up with the plan upon request. you CANNOT sell the clan when you take it over. The only time the clan can be sold is when there is no longer any members in the clan; you CANNOT remove players and sell it.

6. When we go on clan quests, a portion (1-5%) of what we make will go to the clan for more rooms and then it will be equally devided upon rank of the members.

7. Upon my deaming worthy, you will be promoted to a higher rank or demoted to a lower rank. You must listen to what a higher ranked pirate says or tells you to do within reason. If a Plunderer tells a Treasure Seeker to swab the deck, the Treasure Seeker must go to the boat (clan house) and act like he is mopping the deck. If you are asked to make gold for the clan, you must go make gold for the clan (you may keep a large ammount for yourself however), if someone repeatedly asks people to do stuff they may be demoted for thier actions. Asking things such as going to a city to get an item or buying the person something is unacceptable. Please use good judgement when asking someone to do something or when doing something a higher rank tells you to do. If you have any problems or you think someone is abusing thier power, please bring it to my attention in a personal way, i.e. paging me or memo'ing me. Rank is as follows:

Captain
Plunderer (founder)
Treasure Seeker (founder)
Cannon Operator (leader)
Cannon Loader (leader)
Rower (member)
Deck Swabber (member)
Wench (member)

8. Name of your pirate MUST be in your profile under name.....Due to people not doing this, I will be removing members who do not listen to this rule after my first request.

9. Each person is allowed to join with up to 2 characters, however this is highly discouraged as it slows down role playing.

10. Do to rescent problems, each person MUST page me with thier ingame crit so I know for sure who you are. Certain people may PM me.

11. Classes are restricted in the clan, classes allowed are Fighter, Cleric, and Thief ONLY. If you are not of tese classes, then I'm sorry but you can't join.

12. DO NOT bring out of clan alliances or enemies into this one. DO NOT bring outside clan grudges into the clan. We are a family, wether you dislike them outside the game or outside the clan. We have members from Crème de la Crème, Draco Honoris, ÇørrüÞtïøñ, and more...although these clans may have problems outside of the clan, once you are inside the clan we are all friends. I will remove ANYONE who is causing problems with someone else because of who they are outside of the clan (if they find out). Please don't say don't kill this person or that person because they are my friend, reason for this is because we are pirates, we do not have friends, only temporary alliances with people who pay us a tariff.

13. Please don't tell anyone except for Mr_Pirate who you are out of game. Your main will be written down on a peice of paper to keep everyone straight incase any problems arise. Don't let anyone else know on the basis you may start a conflict, this is something we do not need.

For people out of clan

Please memo me if you feel someone is acting to greatly out of character too often.

Please memo me if you feel a character is harrassing you beyond what their character would. Remember, we are pirates. we will steal your gold, we will kill you, we will threaten you. If someone threatens you personally (out of character) please email Pandilex or JLH and memo me, I will not allow that person to do such things, we are pirates, but that doesn't give us the right to threaten you as a person and not as a character.

Please memo me if you see a member cussing, I will deal with it as I see fit, including having a personal talk with them, demoting them, clan removal, and I will also email Pandilex or JLH if I feel they need to know of the offense (such as constantly cussing in general chat)

The reason I ask for this is because I only know 2 people in my clan on a personal level. Everyone else in has either just asked to join or I've known them for a short period of time.

:OOC: A word.

As I have professed on many occassions, I have always tried to avoid RP in game. I joined the Black Reef Pirates because it looked like it was worth a laugh. I made myself a suitable pirate, Dirty_John_Flint, and have not looked back since. Just about my entire time spent on the crit consists of me in stitches whilst plundering the southern gate house noobs of all their shinies. I haven't had anything that really made me want to play Nightmist (other than development) for a very long time, but now that I have this RP character and this enthusiastic and entertaining clan I am having a ball again. Anybody who wants something different to the mundane, and looking for a great time while mixing things up a bit ::need:: to give this clan a look.

I have formulated some appropriate Pirate names for those less creative:

Filthy_Mcfadden
Surly_Bob
Toothless_Ivan
Bart_Blacktooth
Jeremiah_Scalper
Joe_Scurvy
Hook_Oreilley
Nails_Mcgarvey
Orlando_Fipps
Scarface_Goodfellow
Honest_Jenkins
Cook_Campbell
Crazy_Pete_Sturt
Knuckles_Fitzgerald
Jemmy_Mulvihill

[Wolfgang]

Aye Deval, that brings a tear to ones eye... and to make a weathered pirate cry... that be no small feet.

/me removes his hat, and places it against his chest.

OOC: >_> i'm Jack_Skellington, in the clan. I joined shortly after Ice_Cold made it. If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me on either Wolfgang, or if you feel like being talked at as a pirate, Jack_Skellington, or Roivas

[Kharybdis]

OOC: I don't have much to add that hasn't been said already, but I'm with Deval... this is an interesting and entertaining clan to be with. I joined the clan with Sigurd after Mr_Pirate/Ice_Cold/whichever name you know him by asked me to, and I've had some good times getting accustomed to RP'ing in the past few days.

If you'd like to join but you don't already have a crit with a suitable name and none of Deval's fine premade names appeal to you, here's a nice resource: fidius.org: What's My Pirate Name?

Dirty John Flint stands at 5' 9", with a dirty matted beard and hair in much the same state. Brown dirty teeth line his wide, malicious, often drunk, smile. Upon his head he wears a fiercesome black feathered pirate hat, sporting the wear and tear of many ferocious battles. A long red filthy coat of military design, undoubtedly salvaged from the corpse of some poor sailor, sits over his dirty blood flecked clothes and boots, relieved of their original owner of obvious nobility. From a thick black leather belt hangs his prized posession, his jewelled sword, while fastened to his left 'hand', a rusty metal hook; a large battered shield is clumsily attatched.

A man of constantly changing scruples who's loyalties lie where he believes the most gold can be acquired, Dirty John Flint earned his name by the death of his mother when he was but 11 years of age. Disliking being physically forced to bathe, screaming he had grabbed a nearby empty bottle, smashed the bottom of it, and then proceeded to stab his mother through the throat. Fearing the arrival home of his father he collected together some bare essentials and fled, making for the docks a few miles away where he lived as his new home.

After years of thievery, brawling and crime, his left hand was amputated after being caught and punished by the city gaurd for stealing a young noble womans purse. That night, bleeding and weak, he was taken in by a black smith who had taken pity on him. After searing off and tending to the open wound, he had begun to forge a shining silver hook to take the place of his now fostered appendage.

Months later when John had fully recovered, he had ironically torn the intestines out of his foster father with the hook he had fashioned for him. Attempting to allocate him chores now that he was of fine health had not appealed to John, who made efficient merciless work of his gaurdian. Now aged 16 he returned to the docks of his orphan years, not in search of a new home, but to enlist in the ranks of piracy at the promise of wealth. He found his place with a rag tag crew aboard the ship 'Valkryie'. Months later John had earned himself a reputation as one of the most fiercesome pirates to sail the seas, and one of the foulest smelling men to board the Valkryie.

OOC: Bleh, I just felt like doing this for the fun of building the RP character, I wouldn't mind seeing some of the stories of some of my shipmates!

*Rolls a pirate character*

LEMME IN LEMME IN!!!

I'll be contacting you shortly.

Arrrg mateys, Johnathon Williams at yer service.

Ye may call me Seafury though, Only the Cap'n may be callin me Johnathon. If ye'd rather not be callin me seafury (Cant see why they mightn't be...) Yeh may call me john, or johnny.

Nice to be aboard with a fine crew such as this.

[PureMourning]

Arrg fellow mateys, tis' be Filthy Mcfadden speaking... It does me great honor to be among tis fine crew.

[Bess_Hawkins]

*she pockets the pay she recieved in advance and with a slight smirk moves towards the ship.. "She is in bad shape indeed" she thinks to herself as she boards her and scans the cannon shod decks.. Her dark hazel gaze moves up the torn mast and through the cabins as she walks through.. both port and bow sides in shambles she hisses low.. "a shame fer shur.. a damn shame".

Stepping through the wreckage she looks about at the crew.. "I be Bess Hawkins, seems this lady is in need of many repairs.. lets get to it yesno?"

As the woman speaks it is difficult to tell her age.. but there is something about her that just breathes of the sea.. grinning with a half cocked arrogance she dangles the headless length of a slain snake and whips it through the air making a whissssshing sound.. As you meet her dark mischief filled eyes it makes you wonder if she would indeed hit you with the slithering body.. indeed she would.. if you get in her way*
