What is the Brethren Court?:
For the passed few months a gathering of guilds has been taking place with the purpose to think up ideas for player held events. Events that will make game play more fun for all those mates with max skills and nothing to do! Let’s face it, Disney has a limited capacity for the amount activities mates can do at high levels, and so, to combat this cycle of boredom, a new wind is blowing.
The ideas set forth by certain Guild Masters, coming together, creating new activities for mates to participate in, has led to the formation of The Brethren Court. This alliance of guilds seeks to make a difference for the sake of having FUN! Welcome to any pirate wanting to experience a different side to the game. Guilds represented in the Court have agreed to do their part to for this vision to become history in the making.
**THIS IS IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM A KNOCK AGAINST DISNEY! WE ALL LOVE POTCO AND UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY GAME HOLDS ITS LIMITATIONS. THIS IS SIMPLY A WAY TO CREATE MINI-GAMES WITHIN THE GAME FOR PLAYERS TO ENJOY AND HAVE A FULLFILMENT OF GAME PLAY BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE GAME'S DESIGN**
**GLITCHES OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLLERATED AT ANY!!! BRETHREN COURT HELD EVENT**

Player Held Pirate Events: Server : KOKOAGO
· Rumrunner’s Rally (week of 6/28/09 – 7/05/09) - Ship vs. Ship Race, Grand Prix Style, using Light Sloops ONLY. Two teams; French and Spanish, three-man crew max per sloop. Racers do THREE laps around Port Royal and Tortuga, with Devil’s Anvil as the starting/finish line. Teams are to be divided equally based on number of Captains per team. When the teams are established, and ships are launched, each Team is to then line up on each side of the island facing Port Royal. One team lined up on the east side, and one team on the west side. Sides can be decided by coin toss. (East Side of the Island is considered the “Outside Lane”. NO FIRING OF ANY KIND WILL BE TOLERATED BEFORE THE RACE HAS BEGUN! ANY SHIP CAUGHT FIRING WILL BE GIVEN A WARNING. A SECOND OFFENSE WILL BE GROUNDS FOR DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE RACE. When each team is in place and is ready, a Neutral Ship sitting just south of Devil’s Anvil (Race Officials) will call on the a spokesperson from each team to check their readiness status. When both teams are ready, the neutral ship will fire its deck cannons (Fury Rounds so everybody can see), Starting the race, both teams may then hoist sails and commence firing at each other. The RACE COURSE is south to Port Royal, keeping the island to the RIGHT side, and using it as a turn to go around and loop up to Tortuga. Keeping the island to the RIGHT side, the racers will round Tortuga and head south again to Devil’s Anvil, keeping the Island to the RIGHT side. The Racer’s will go passed the starting signal ship to gain credit for their lap. Racers must perform THREE LAPS, and the first across the line on the Third lap is WINNER. IF a ship is sunk during the progress of the race, the Racer is allowed to return to Devil’s Anvil, Pass the Starting Signal Ship, and resume the lap they were on. SHIPS MAY NOT FIRE ON EACH OTHER IF LEAVING THE PVP ISLANDS AND MAKING THEIR WAY BACK TO THE RACE COURSE. VIOLATERS WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!
