Guild Spotlight: Black Bart's Krewe
http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/g...icon_guild.jpg
This month we salute Black Bart's Krewe! Led by the notorious LVL 40 Bartholomew Foulsteel, Black Bart's Krewe is a band of nearly 200 rascals and knaves, some of which rank in the top 50 players for overall enemies defeated. A guild of strong Pirates like, Combat Lizzy, Charlotte Firemenace, Molly Bluesilver, and Redfury -- they're not only handy dealing with undead skeletons, but also reach out a hand to help those in need. Many a Pirate's quest (like the liberation of the Black Pearl) has been completed with this guild's help!

Their mission is simple: "To help inexperienced and experienced players work more effectively together through the teaching of teamwork and fair play." A fine mission, keep up the good work Krewe!

Woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to all those at BBK for the community spotlight mention!

Keep up the good work.

Grats to the Krewe!

One question, did they get the misson statement from you? If not, guess they're watching here...*shifty eyes*

I didn't know that they mentioned actual guilds.... I thought it was just Marceline they would endorse. Congrats crew!

congrats Krewe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to Bart and the Krewe, and to the winners so far in the contest as well :D

Grats Krewe, and the POF winners of the contest :)

Said it once, but will say it again in this thread - Congratz on the nod from the MOUSE for your efforts! I even send an aft-kissing note to the Grog Blog about how cool I think BBK is.

That is quite an honor. Congratulations to the Krewe!

We will never know how they got that my friend.

Thank you every one for the kind words from each and everyone of you. We always tried to be kind and helpful to all. If you have ever been to a BBK partee or not, it always seems that EVERYONE talks about it (lol).

Thanks again everyone. I along with every Krewe member/officer are exremely honored to get this mention from Big D.

Umm...err....Lizzy still speechless! Ceptin to say THANK YOU ALL for your kind words...
and Congrats to all the winners of the Comcast contest!

I find it funny that at least 5 of McRaging members are on the top 5 top pirates list, but sure lets never mention them.

Disney has to start somewhere with guilds, and its not always about the "top positions" - its about community in general. :)

I'm sure they will mention several guilds if their plan is to give kudos to guilds that have survived this long ;)

I thought the would just go on about the marecenile guild but then again that was the first month of the guild spotlight.

Looks to me like they took info from both POF and the Krewe site. They used info from my profile here for my interests (but left out the part about "ravaging") and took info directly from our homepage--again with a minor edit.

So, yes people--Disney does put eyeballs on POF and yer posts. It also appears if ye have a website they'll check that out too. My suggestion is to do yer best to keep yer website within Big D's guidelines. Ye know, just because they could be checking them out.

Congrats bart and all of his guildies!!!

EDIT: Lol Bart its true Big D has eyes everywhere.

I won a free unlimited membership on Saturday, thought that was pretty cool.

Lol Creepy
 

Hmm... if they watch us everywhere...

:psmiley27:

QUICK! HIDE THE RUM! :jackhat:

That means they're watching...
Congrats BBK, I'm not really a big BBK fan though. does this mean that they will endorse other guilds?

... and I'm going to quote myself for this answer :D ...

Again a great Congrats to BBK!
How Much you want to bet they are going to go down the POF guild list Next Dueces then Pillagers. :laughks2:

P.S. I tried out the new fonts if you didn't notice.

Was reading the page on the spotlight again today, and just wanted to post this up. This is a message from Admin GM Cayman Trench...


ADMIN GM Cayman Trench

A tip of our tricorn (hat) to Bart and his Krewe! Nice work mates, keep up the good work.

Do you have a guild or Pirate that you'd like to see in the spotlight? Then tell us their tale! Pirates take note, if you want yourself in the spotlight, you must not have any account violations for the past 60 days. Guilds should also have at least 75% of their members in good standing, with no account violations.

Ok so there goes Dueces chances of ever getting a mention. :laughks2:

LOL, We've been good! No one has been on vacation for quite a while. Plus at our size, we can meet the 75% mark easily.
