Do you have a Personal Pirate Code?

[Crestshot]

1) I'll help you defeat things, but don't expect me to do the task for you while you only get in one hit.
2) Don't hit on me. I don't really look like my character.
3) I don't take control of a ship that isn't mine unless the captain asks me to.
4) I always help my guild out.
5) I don't cheat or glitch.
6) I don't use tonics in PVP. In my opinion it gives an unfair advantage, especially if I'm playing against a lower player.
7) I avoid Tormenta unless my guild asks for help
8) If you're on my ship, you follow my orders. Don't take control of the wheel or shoot at ships that I don't want. I will kick you off.
9) Don't insult my guild members or friends. I will take offense as well.
10) If you friend me and I have no idea who you are, I will not accept the friendship. I only friend those I trust.
11) Don't be afraid to start dancing.
12) I will heal you no matter who you are or if I have a personal vendetta against you.
13) Don't order me around such as "Nobody is allowed at this blackjack table but me." We are all players in the same game, and I don't care if you're a 50 or a 5.
14) I ask for help nicely. It tends to get more people to come to me.
15) Don't curse me out. It will get you reported and I will hope that you are banned. However, see 12 for more.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff I didn't know I did.

I never thought about this but heres the rules, or my personal code.

Sailing,
I wont shoot ships other people are already attacking.
I wont shoot players ships unless in a svs.
I dont take the wheel of a ship unless the capt. is cool with it.
If your crew mates are standing around not doining any shooting, just getting gold, ill leave untill you clean up the crew.
If your crew sucks ill leave.
I will uncrew you and leave you on a high level island far away from a safe port if your being a noob.
when the capt. dosent want to go for the ship I dont beg or constanly shoot in the direction of the ship.

Fighting,
I wont join people fighting a boss/high levels unless the say its ok that I can help out.
if your a low level and your stealing reps of my high level enemys and you get knocked out, you wont be revied. (or I will not heal you while fighting)
ill only heal low level pirates fighting high level enemys. I wont fight with you becuase im doing your quest for you.

other,
you wont get freinded if your running in circles on abassa, saying things along the lines "freind me! ,crew me! etc..
If you have rules for SvS or PvP, I dont follow yours (no doll, no lighting) ill follow games rules, we are givin those weapons to use at anytime.

I wont join a guild.


maybe we should get all of the good ones everybody agrees on and create a thread named unofical code or courtesy code or something like that, just a thought.

I have a short list. This applies to all games, not just this one.

1. Respect others.
2. I don't cheat, including third-party programs. Period.
3. Have fun!

Yes, I have a code. It's sort of similar to some others posted, but with my own twist.

I always ask before tping, I expect the same of friends.

I will almost always be open to tp from any of my guilds or friends. But I would like to know why you want to tp.

I will help you when you need it within reason. If you are whispering to me four and five times a day what are you doing, no.

If you need a boss for a quest I'm more than happy to help. But if I tell you I'm leveling, don't just ask me to help get a boss so you can level on him.

When sailing I am more than willing to let baby pirates take the helm of my warship. No, I do not care if you sink it. Just let me know you need sailing and my wheel is yours.

No, I will not port as soon as the hold is full. I will port when we have full royals or are close to sinking.

If you sail with me, do not hesitate to tell me what ships you need. I'm more than willing to go after anything that moves.

If I tell you to hold fire I have a good reason. If you do not hold fire and you sink us you will hear about it.

I try hard to be a polite pirate. I expect to be treated politely as well.

I do not rep steal, and do not put up with people rep stealing from me. The first time you get an explanation of what it is you are doing and why it hurts not only me but you. You might get a crew request as well. In which case I will heal you an let you pound away if you are polite about it.

If you rep steal again you will be warned that you are being rude. Do it a third time and look out.

I will defend my friends and guildmates against all comers. I will do my best to be polite if you are. If you are doing anything to hurt or annoy a friend or guildmate you have awakened the dragon, an yes, I do breathe fire!

You will never see me being rude on any of my Malory or Hardy pirates. If I break out one of the Blacks on you you've done something that's gotten me angry, and you're gonna hear about it!

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Well... I see this thread is old, but I was surfing threads and saw this one, so....

1) Respect. DURRRR! I respect you, as long as you respect me. If you start to act rude to me, I will probably be able to point out several bad things about you that you wont be able to come back at, and I will feel satisfied that I made a pirate that was rude to me feel like they just got "owned".

2) Don't steal my rep please. Doesn't apply to Davy anymore, but on my lv 21, Lyze of Kiel, it applies. I will politely tell you to stop several times, and if you dont, I may pull out Davy, and shoot everything you get near with my grand blunderbuss.

3) I wont steal your rep. Dont worry, I have no use for rep. The only time I will ever attack someone else's kill is if I am in a crew with them and I have their permission (exception is Abassa/Andaba Darkhart, but I will still ask if I may join).

4) This is in regards to heals. If I am passing by an area, and I see you are low on health, I will be more than happy to heal you if you ask nicely. Heck, if I see you are low on health, and I am passing by, I may come and heal you out of the goodness of my heart! But dont take this for granted. If you aren't polite to me, you wont be getting heals

5) This is in regards to revives. Lets say me and my high level friend are fighting some thralls. He is big enough to take on a thrall by himself, but accidentally sweeps and another thrall kills him. First of all, its not like you are too low a level to fight here, so I will revive you, and if you say please and thank you, I will be even happier to revive you. If you are a level 10 fighting thrall captains, and you are killed, I revive you ONCE. During that time I will tell you that you are probably not high enough level to be here. If you are smart, you will heed my warning, and leave. If you took my revive for granted, and aren't too bright, you will keep fighting, and when you demand that revive, guess what pal, it ain't coming.

6) Please ask before teleporting to me. I dont like having people randomly teleport to me, and I will always ask you first. You dont need to ask me if we are in a crew and I launch my ship, unless I state beforehand not to board it, which is rarely the case.

7) If you are on my ship, treat me and my ship with respect. I dont have to let you on my ship, and I dont have to give you the gold we earn. Respect me and the crew. If you are acting like a jerk, firing at everything you see, and yelling at me to get "That Navy ship I need for my quest!" I will never let you come on my ship again, or at least for a long time. If you politely ask me if I could get a ship that you need if we spot one, I will be more than happy to take some time out and sink it for you.

8) Diplomacy is my thing. I don't want to and I never shall start a "guild war". I have negotiated on behalf of my guild and other guilds, and been successful. If you refuse to play nice, and demand that we go to war. Fine, be that way. I shall leave, and any members of my guild shall follow me. We are more mature than you, and you can go play war. If you see us, go ahead, slash your swords at us. Grow up, it wont do anything.

9) If you need help with a quest, I will be glad to help you if you ask nicely. No explanation needed. If you need gold, go ahead and ask me, I will be more than happy to help you. I could use the loot as well.

10) This is more towards my guild. If you are a new recruit, WELCOME! We are always happy to have new people. Now, if you have been in the guild for two weeks, and you have followed the rules, acted nice, etc., you will be made a veteran. As a veteran, to become an officer, you must have seniority in the guild, respect from the other members, and the approval of other officers. Also, you need to have taken time to bring people into the guild. Then you will be made an officer. If you come into the guild, and immediately ask me "Can I be an officer?" then I will explain to you why you cant be one, and chances are, I won't make you an officer for a looong time. Those who dont ask always move up faster. Also, RESPECT YOUR GUILDMATES! We are there for you! If you respect us, we will all want to help you, and befriend you. We are all very close, and we are happy to accept newcomers.

11) Dont mess with my friends. I can defeat almost anyone in an argument, so don't even try me. I will defeat your argument, crush you, and then send you running like a little pup running to your mother. You DONT want to mess with any friends or guildmates of mine. I will always come to their aid. I will not insult, or try to get physical, but you will be surprised at how I can injure you with words, without saying a single insult.


Thats what I have. I follow those rules, and some other small ones. But those are the biggies.

If I told ye my Pirate Code, you'll hate me forever.
