Do you have a Personal Pirate Code?

[Jaquin DePlank]

My personal code in playing POTCO

Rule 1: Don't tp to anyone unless you have permission.

Rule 2: I've told everyone in my guild that I don't care if they tp to me at any time.

Rule 3: If not already helping someone, I will always help out a guildmate or friend that asks for help.
Rule 3a: If it is only to help a bunch of your friends take out an enemy boss, I'll only stick around to do it once.
Rule 3b: Especially if you are a level 9 and taking on Remington with your rude friends. (editors note: I'm no longer in that guild)

Rule 4: I won't complain about rep stealers, but I won't heal you when you are low on health. No matter how many times you demand it.
Rule 4a: I will revive you if you are knocked out while stealing my rep
Rule 4b: I will not revive you a second time if you do not say 'thank you' after the first revival. (editors note: Nobody that has stolen rep and been revived by me has ever said 'thank you', so this rule is invoked often.)

Rule 5: I will not friend you or join your crew if you ask me while running past me. I am happy with my current guild and will not join yours, no matter how many times you whisper to me.
Rule 5a: I will crew up with you if I've jumped on your open to the public ship and you offer.
Rule 5b: If you are cool and funny while in crew, I will indeed accept a friend offer.
Rule 5c: If I ever see anyone from POF in game I would accept a friend or a crew offer.

Rule 6: I will let baby pirate guildmates take control of my ship to help them with a quest.
Rule 6a: I will not be demanded to get a ship for someone who doesn't ask politely.
Rule 6b: I will not be demanded to port immediately once my cargo hold is full. I have more gold than Cap't Jack Sparrow could drink away in a month, so I'm in no hurry to port.

Rule 7: I will not speak ill will of any fellow pirate in guild chat or in crew chat. If ever on the dock in Tortuga in Abassa, I may say a sarcastic thing or twenty in local chat.

Rule 8: I will not report a fellow pirate. I will ignore you and rest well in the fact that since you act like an idiot in the game, you probably are an idiot in real life and in that case I'm glad I'm not you.

Rule 9: I'm playing to have fun, and all my actions will reflect that. In interacting with fellow pirates, I hope that comes across.




Wow, I didn't know I had so many rules!?!?!?!?
