By word o' the rotters midst our last account, the'r be talks o' new lands set t' be plundered. The ol' Cap'n has ordered the crew to make way with all haste, soon to make port near Cove.
Upon our arrival we be sure t' find these lands doomed t' the grasp of weak lily-livered land rats that naught be carryin the strength of Lord British an' his days of rule. The times of pirates fearin' the wretched pitiful stench of honor and loyalty t' those who be representin the royal flag..that be time soon t' be long forgotten.
We shall soon be seekin t' recruit as our numbers be lesser due t' hardships o' the voyage. We call out t' those willin t' join ranks with our crew an' carry the name o' the Ol' Dirty Pirates.
*REQUIREMENTS*
RP is required!!! If ye be joinin our crew this be the first thing ye will be needin t' learn mates.

If ye naught be serious bout RPin' don't bother wastin our time!
RP naught be required when usin Guild Chat, IRC, Forums (encouraged) or Ventrilo...
