:skull_bullet: Every week, I, the Guildmaster, will choose a list of members in the guild, that will be up for selection by the guild to be Partner of the Week. These pirates must have been in the guild for at least 2 weeks, and have shown outstanding activity, kindness, and the aspects of a great partner in crime.
:skull_bullet: Usually by Monday or Tuesday, a poll is opened with the list of canidates on the Partner of the Week thread on the guild site. ALL pirates in the guild, on the guild site, may vote in the poll. If you need to join the guild site, please PM me.
:skull_bullet: The poll will remain open until Thursday night of that week, where the final scores will be counted.
:skull_bullet: On Sunday, the winner will be announced in their very own thread on the site, as well as the Partner of the Week thread on POF.
:skull_bullet: The winner will recieve (of course) bragging rights, as well as a permenant award on the guild site.

Buck has always been a personal favorite amongst the members of the guild. His keen sense of humor, extreme willingness to help, unbounded care for the guild, and diligence in everything he does makes him an unsung hero in the POTCO world. Bucko always makes it his first priority to make sure everybody in the guild is nice and happy, and puts everybody first before himself. He has become a dear friend to us all, and we wouldn't want it any other way. Its thanks to Buck this guild is where it is today :)

And to show our gratitude, I took the liberty of getting Buck a nice little present. Here you go "Chief" Buck, a fresh new assortment of cooking utensils!

Congrats Bucko! Your award is in the mail ;)

Also, a special thanks to our new image creator, Kat Crestshot! Shes new to the business of POTW, but has allready done a fantastic job right off the bat. And to thank here, I got her a little gift as well - a fresh box of crayons, to aid in your everyday artistic needs!

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...m/crayons8.jpg

Now, you better make due with those gifts you two, our budget is getting lower by the hour (spent it all on rum, fixing my time machine, rum, and a Lost Relic detector.) Now, see ye next week Partners!

Dead has been with PIC/PNC since the very beginning, and is probably one of our oldest members. And undoubtedly, hes one of the most memorable! Dead's loss of sanity, care-free attitude, great sense of humor, and extreme kindness makes him a real character, and the guild definately wouldn't be the same without him. Whether hes fighting his never ending battle against his arch enemy, water, or playing around with his best pal, death, Dead has made his mark as a real Partner In Crime.

And to show our gratitude, the guild went ahead and got Dead a present, something that he desperately needs - floaties!

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...m/Floaties.jpg

There you go Dead! Maybe we won't need to pull out the life boat as much... Yer medal is in the mail - just don't eat it, please.

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...sCrestshot.jpg

Kat has only been with the guild for a while now, but has already become one of our most well-known members! Right off the bat, Kat courageously accepted the task of creating the images for Partner of the Week, and has already done a fantastic job! Her great personality, friendly attitude, and willingness to help out makes Kat a great person to be around, and a true Partner In Crime.

Now, we were planning to get you Unlimited Access, but the guild budget was low due to all that rum we stocked up on... so instead, we got you a blue marker, so you could color your name to pretend you were Unlimited instead!

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...PIE_BLU_HI.jpg

Hehe, Congrats Kat! Award and bragging rights will arrive shortly :)

http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/a...n_edited-2.jpg

Liz, or CRAZY!!!, as she is known around the guild, is probably one of our oldest, yet most active members. Liz has been with us way back in to the early stages of Partners In Crime - heck, she was already an Officer when I first joined PIC! Liz's charm, kindness, and willingness to help makes her such a great pirate to be around, and I couldn't have chosen a better, more responsible person for Party Officer than her.

And now, for my present, to you, Lizzo! We all know that you love to be crazy, so a little pick-me-up can keep you craxy all through the night (wild parties, woo!) Which is a good thing, considering I spent 150 dollars on this coffee maker!

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...eMaker3599.jpg

150 bucks for coffee, what is the world coming to.....

Congrats Lizzo!

Sven O'*gag*smythe, or as he is known in the guild, *takes a deep breath* Sven McJalagiance Zequenia! I've known Sven for years now, and in fact, he was the fiirst person to introduce me to PIC. He helped me rise through the ranks in PIC, and if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here right now. Sven is kind, friendly, and overall, a great friend to all of us. Kudos to you Sven, an award well-deserved! (Especially after you pumped out those 300 wins :D)

Now since your such a good anchor in last-minute situations, I decided to help your anchoring skills by getting you a new pair of running shoes!.... Unfortunately, we spent the budget on all that rum that kept you up during the Week of 300 Wins, so instead, you get, A running shoe! Enjoy!

Congrats Sven! Rums on you :buds:

Delmaria Darkskull! Yes, ladies and gentlepirates, our very own Guildmaster has become this week's Partner! Now, I'm going to HOPE that we all know Del here, haha. I personally haven't known Del for very long, but I've known him long enough to know just how outstanding a person (and pirate) he is. Even with embarassing us all with his "raid shorts," he is always there for us when we need it (computer and game crashes notwithstanding). He was with the original PIC, and while I didn't know him then, the fact that he was unwilling to let this guild fall is a true testamant to his dedication to it and to us. I am very proud to have him as my Guildmaster. He is truly the best one I have ever had. So, hats off to you Captain!

Also, we know that with your level 49, you're getting a little old, and I've heard you go on about how the Caribbean used to be more than once. So, to help you along on your adventures, we all chipped in (and by all of us I mean I stole from everyone else's gold stores. Life of a pirate, aye?) and got you this nice shiny cane!

http://images1.fanpop.com/images/pho...91-400-397.jpg

Look, it even has a pirate skull on the top of it! And you can poke people with the sharp end and boot them off of your ship! Congrats Del!

WTG DEL!!!! Ye really have earned this mate... I know I've said this so many times but you really have done an amazing job with PNC. I
know it couldn't have been easy having to start over but you took a challenge, stared it in the face, and won the staring contest! Not only has
this guild grown, it has become an established and noble group of fantastic pirates.

I am very glad that I joined and I am now more impressed than before. You are an amazing GM Del and I know you will bring PNC to new heights in the future.

*raises glass* To Del! :buds:

Will has been with the guild for nearly a year now, and has in itself, he has become one of the people we all have come to know and love. Whether Will is rambling off about the good ole days, giving you help or advice on how to overcome a difficult obstacle, or just hanging out for a nice period of chatting, pillaging, and plundering, his sense of humor, generousity, and best of all, common sense, shine through. We salute a true parter or ours today. Congrats Will :)

Now, Will, we all know how much you desire to claim a Black Shark Blade. Well, I was shoppping for one, but it cost wwwaaaayyy too much (budget is low again.) So, I took the shorter route, and cut off the blade part. Here you go will, your very own Black Shark!

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...ack_shark1.jpg

Congrats Will! Ye deserve it :)

Andrew!

Andrew has been with the guild ever since the old Partners in Crime, and has moved up the ranks ever since, making it all the way to Co-Guildmaster. He has humor, he has respect, and despite his lack of height, he can step on people who step on him. On our guild site, Andrew puts it all together and organzises it into something we all understand out of all of that code. His idea for a PNC wiki was a great one, even if we are still working on it. Andrew has always been a great addition to the guild (even with his love of Flatulent Fizz) and we hope that he stays with us for a very long time. Congrats mate.

Now Andrew, we all know about the height thing, but this should help you out.

http://www.craftsmanspace.com/images...ids_stilts.jpg

STILTS! Just get a nice tall pair of bright blue pants and nobody will be the wiser! Haha, congrats Andrew. Rum's on you!

( What happens if you sing karaoke around Andrew? )

Captain Lawre... err, Charles Crestshot!!

The fact that Crest was chosen as Partner of the Week wasn't a surprise. Ever since she joined, Crest has been quite Popular amongst all of our members. With a great spirit, fabulous attitude, and overall, a Wonderful personality, Crest teaches our members how to uplhold our guild rules, be a pirate pirate, and a great mentor when it comes to Dancing Through Life. Yet despite her great contributions to the guild, her modest mind repeatedly tells her "I'm Not That Girl" - only another reason to make her so worthy of this title.

Crest, I know you have been going through a few various ups and downs in your life recently, both in the game and in real life. But being the strong person you are, I know that you'll be able to keep your head up high, and get through it. And just to reassure you, I present to you this witches broom, as a way to show how everyday you are able to Defy Gravity!

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...ies_detail.jpg

Congrats Crest! Ye deserve it!

Ahoy mates! Crest here with this weeks Partner of the Week! Well, actually... I suppose you can say it's Partners of the week this time. ;) So, without further ado, congrats to...


Rose Ropeburn and Jibby!

Yes mates, this week we were faced with a tie, but what a good tie it was! These two have been brilliant members and are well known by the entire guild. Perhaps we can get a little crazy when they're around, but it's all in good fun. Both are wonderful additions to the guild, with Rose revealing things we never would have thought possible, to Jibby and his love of Tormenta. Thanks for everything mates!

Now, Rose, I know how much you love art, so I got you this.

And Jig, my friend, you go afk too much. It must hurt your neck. So here! A little support to help you out.

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...gFAPx5jZWUhLY=

Congratulations mates! Rum's on you!

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...cgm/wj7xgj.jpg

Charlottle Goldcastle!

What can I say that already hasn't been said? Even though she's only been with us for a few months, Char has shown unhealthy amounts of kindness, compassion, and friendliness to each and every person that logs on. I knew I found a good member when I had to force her to stop healing me at Darkhart and actually get some loot. She's grown on us, as shes become a dear piece of each of our hearts. I don't know how well off we could be without our guardian angel ;)

Now Char, I know how you love to be a healer, and more power too ya. But seeing as how you keep getting beat up by those baddies, I decided to help you out, and replace your old, frail angel wings with a brand new pair!

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...el-wings-1.jpg

Congrats Char! Ye deserve it :)

Last poll of the year opens tomorrow!

Yes, it's that time again!

After a month-long break, where I have been able to make my judgements, observe the guild, and more than anything, relax, it is once again time to start up the long-time tradition of Partner of the Week once more! And, since I know the suspense is off the charts, I won't delay any longer - the first POTW for 2011 is....

Alice Darkbane!

Alice is still considered one of the pieces of "new meat" in our guild (with a guild that grows at a speed of one-to-two pirates a week, you can't blame her :laughks2:), but she still has grown on to us like mold has grown on to the ketchup stains on the Sea Dragon. Alice is a very outgoing, kind person, who greets you with a sincere caps lock scream every time she sees you. She's friendly, she's hip (:cool:), and she's anything that somebody could look for in a good friend.

Our first GIFt to you all, Alice (get it? GIF? *waits for groans at lame joke*) is our old friend from PIC, Pete the Parrot! May he guide you in your travels, in your week of Caribbean greatness!

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...cgm/parrot.gif

And, of course, we can't neglect the fact that you're a huge Lady Gaga fan - so, here, please accept on our behalf this beautiful meat dress! (Stay away from Billy)

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...t-dress1-1.jpg

Please accept this humble showings of gratitude, for YOU, Alice Darkbane, are this week's POTW! Congrats mate!!

The poll is open! Get to voting, mates!
