Battle of the Scoundrels - Fight for Freedom!

[Captain Del]

So I went about gathering a good-sized group of friends in order to essentially do a "mini-run" of everything. I watched, studied, and learned, so that way we can create a good environment tomorrow. Here are a few things I took note of:

- Centralization of ships is needed. I noticed that when we were spread out across the Mariners Reef and Hinterseas, that we had a few pirates struggling to rise in the Scoundrel ranks. So, I decided that we are going to keep ourselves to JUST the Hinterseas. This way we can all mob ships so they sink faster, so that way we can plunder fast, and in turn become Scoundrels faster.

- MORE ships are needed. Even though we had about two dozen pirates, when I put it in to proportions, we wouldn't have a lot of ships out on the sea tomorrow if we followed the plan of ship organization we had set up. So, I've decided that in order to create a truly epic battle, EACH PIRATE WILL HAVE THEIR OWN SHIP! The only exception is if we have really low level or basic pirates attending, in which case they can go aboard a guild mate's ship (and even then, don't pile on a single ship.)

- Remember where to go! I had pirates going from Singapore to Timbuktu on the test run, so I'm going to remind you all once again that once you have bounty hunters in tow of your ship (or better yet, as soon as you hit Rank 3) that you should jet yourself over to the battle area I marked on the map in my previous post (South/Southwest of Port Royal.) If you're the first one there, don't panic - other ships will be there soon.

- Remember to fight together! Don't see yourself as part of a pirate fleet, as part of a pirate ARMY, mates! We're fighting a war after all, and our victory depends on us all cooperating. So be sure to fire your broadsides and ram your rams in to not only your personal enemy, but that ship that's attacking that ship next to you. Separate, our ship's power is nothing compared to a bounty hunter - but when you have dozens upon dozens of ships attacking one ship... you can tell who is going to win!

Pirates, be sure to keep spreading the word, and direct all pirates in your guild and your friends to this here thread, so we can have a well-informed troop tomorrow.

Like last time, I will post a last minute reminder a half hour before the event, as well as a post filled with last-minute tips and pointers tomorrow afternoon. Thanks pirates! Prepare for the fight of yer pirate lives!
