A Bigger Family

[Captain Del]

When our guild first began just a few short weeks after Partners In Crime's closure, we began with a very loyal base of pirates and officers, dedicated to making sure that the legacy would live on. We were still relatively small, though - just barely 15 members to boot, and for the most part, we stayed there. For even though we needed more pirates to keep us afloat, we still held on to the belief that it wasn't the quantity of members that mattered, so much as it was the quality of our members. And by this initiative, we have come this far.

In July of that year, just when our guild was about a month old, and we had roughly 25 members to us, a Strongest Guild Competition was announced. Guilds of all shapes and sizes were coming out to show the Caribbean that they were top dog - and many of these guilds were often very well-established guilds, with hundreds of pirates at their disposal to rank for them. And although it may seem that our guild didn't have much of a chance compared to the other giant guilds out there, we proved that despite our size, we still had what it took.

20. Partners N Crime 53,741

And it was by this showcase of how truly strong we were, even with so few pirates, that we used this to keep us going through the early months. And now, after two amazingly successful years, we have worked our way up to 200 quality members - and one can only imagine what is possible now, and as we continue to grow further. And I couldn't be more proud to be apart of this guild.

Of course, I must reward all of our members for helping us get this far. So, I present you all with a gift, courtesy of our dear Christopher Ironhawk:

Wear them with pride, pirates - you deserve them

And of course, we can't go out of tradition by not finding a way to celebrate - and what better way than a classic party with the partners in crime? All pirates are welcome to join us this Thursday night as we celebrate our 200th member, through a bunch of drinking, dancing, singing, and perhaps a few events here or there!

What: Partners N Crime's 200th Member Celebration!
When: Thursday, August 4th, 2011, at 8 PM Eastern (We'll throw an afterparty in your honor, DP )
Where: The Royal Anchor, Port Royal, Bequermo Server
Why: To celebrate our new milestone!
Who: All pirates!

Hope to see plenty of you there to celebrate this monumental moment in our guild's history - I promise I'll bring the karaoke machine!
