Crew and Organization System

This System explains how Crews and Organizations work here at Pirate Nation. We will touch on how they are formed and also how NPC recruitment and NPCs operate in crews.

Crew vs Organization

---

When we say Crew, we refer to Pirate Crews, Revolutionary Cells, Marine Battalions, etc. There's not much to say about Crews as most of it is common sense and it's advantages and disadvantages come with the numbers and allies you gain. Should you be a Free Agent, when you join a Crew you automatically adopt their usergroup's colors. Meaning you'll be seen as a Marine, Pirate, Revolutionary, whatever the case may be.

An Organization on the other hand is something that usually doesn't have people strictly from one faction in. It may be consisted of Pirates, Free Agents, Cipher Pol Agents, Revolutionaries, whatever. There isn't really any faction wall in as Organization. They are like Crews in the idea that they have one common goal they are trying to achieve, but much more broad in how they operate. Some Organizations are very lenient and allow their members to roam until called on and others are more close knit and much like a Crew would. This should all be explained in the Description section of the template.

An example of an Organization in Canon is Baroque Works ran by Crocodile or the Don Quixote Family before they were revered as pirates and called the Donquixote Pirates.

There are too many possibilities to cover when speaking on Organizations so we'll leave it there with a general idea of what they are and how they work.

Creation

---

To form a Crew or Organization there must be three members off the bat. An IC topic must be done showing the formation of this Crew or Organization and at least a Captain must be chosen. The rest, First Mate, Treasurer, etc, can be figured in another topic if you wish.

With this topic completed you can then fill out the Crew Template and register your Crew on the forum. Once you get an approval before you can be granted your own sub-forum in the Crew Area you will have to complete an Arc together as a Crew. This is to show that the Crew will actually have a decent life-span and won't just fizzle out within two weeks of formation. Should this Arc be completed, you'll be directed **here** which is the Crew Area and you'll have a sub-forum for your Crew made. You should then post the approved template of your Crew there for your first post and it will be stickied by a moderator to remain the top post in your sub-forum. You can then update that template as time goes on and things change. This sub-forum is probably where you'll end up referring members to OOC should they be interested in your Crew or maybe where people looking for a Crew to join will go to on their own accord. For that reason you should keep your Crew Area in tip-top shop and free of any forum offenses.

When it comes to Alliances, they must be created ICly and not over OOC discussion.

Crew Occupations

---

Crew Occupations are just a fun bonuses that your Crew can claim. It has nothing to really do with the Occupation system. It typically aligns with the interest of the Crew. Occupations marked with "*" are only usable by the Captain.

• Bounty Hunters - These crews are always out and headhunting looking for notorious people that'll fill their pockets or satiate their hunger for battle. For this reason using the listing in the Bounty System people with Average Bounties/Reputation are recognized by people in these Crews as opposed to people needing to have Noteworthy Bounties/Reputation.
  
  
• Adventurers - These crews are always looking for new adventures and finding new lands. They get a 500 word and 30min reduction on travel costs/times. In addition, once a month each member is given 5 Story Points.
  
  
• Treasure Hunters - These crews have beli signs in their eyes. They gain 10% bonus Beli on their task if done with another Crew Member. In addition, at the end of each arc the Captain is awarded a Treasure Dice Roll.
  
  
• Traders - These crews make a living through honest trade. Crew members get a 10% reduction in Equipment Shop and personally made items sold to NPCs are sold at higher prices than normal.
