Gadflies be look'n fer Hands on Deck!

[Lucrecia Merlose]

The Rules:

-Speak straight lad! We be pirates so I will have none of that Bilge slang some of ye be shout'n! If'n ye need examples:

• NO LOLs and leetspeak
• NO Racist, Sexist, Bigotry
• NO abbreviations
• NO overuse of REAL LIFE talk (limit out of character chatter to a bare minimum)

-Respect yer Cap'n, Officers, an fellow crewmates! Maturity is key if'n ye want to be sail'n on Green Revenge!

-There be no age limit. As long as ye be a mature lad or lass then age will not be an issue. If'n ye be under the years of 18 then keep it to yerself!

-What the Cap'n says is the final word! If'n ye don't like yer orders then make it known. Ye better have a good reason fer such mutiny.

-Green Revenge hoists her anchors and opens her sails at certain hours of the day.

• 9PM Eastern is our typical game time during the weekdays. Weekends are less predictable (for now). This is when we are most active with our current guildmates so this may change over time.

-We be knowing pirates but we havn all yer answers so don't be expect'n em.

• We just started this game and our plan is to attempt to make a Guild to learn and explore with. That being said we have yet to find ourselves terribly stuck in this game.

-Gadflies be tak'n pirates of any skill!

• We will accept pirates from any Notoriety, Access level, and skill specializations. On the ship I am looking for people to shoot my cannons.

-Only the captain sails Green Revenge, that be me!

• If you want to build your sailing skill then we will do so on your ship. Green Revenge is only sailed by the captain, Lucrecia Merlose. If anyone takes the wheel without expressed permission will find themselves walking the plank!

-If'n ye are recruited don't think ye be a Gadfly quite yet. We be need'n time to get to know ye and not just everyone is Gadfly material.

• There is a probation period. This can take as little as a week and the length of this period varies significantly. Final recruitment is of the Leader and Officers discretion.

If Gadflies interest you then there are a few ways of getting recruited:

• Make a post in this thread
• Send me a personal message
• Register to the Gadflies Forums and make a thread in "Join the Crew"

Whatever your method may be, in most cases, you will receive a personal message from me in either POF or Gadflies Forums with the recruitment code. Once I've recognized you as joining Gadflies I will add you as a Recruit to our roster and you will undergo a probation period where you will be watched with scrutiny, your every movement tracked under a microscope of skepticism, and every word you say will be moderated for accuracy in punctuation, spelling, and role play immersion. *cackles wildly*

I jest! The probation period is for YOUR benefit. During this time just relax and play as you would like to play within Gadflies. If you are a good fit for us then it will all come naturally. If you are not a good fit for Gadflies then there is no harm. You simply will have to find a better fit elsewhere and that's better for you and Gadflies.

Until that time may come, may fair winds guide ye!

Gadflies have their own territory now. Bring some grog and come give us a visit.

[League]

Mayhaps!? I'll not be lyin', but that was a great first post.

[Lucrecia Merlose]

Ahoy ye matey! Aft I splice the mainbrace I mayhaps thank ye fer ye fair words.

*chugs the grog*

So thank ye!

[davy redflint]

aye well spoken matey , the way it should be

[League]

Mayhaps me third pirate will join: mayhaps. Me second be wanting a guild of its own, a guild to be above or below (pending on the sight-stick scope that ye use to look at it) the rest. Rest assured, I'll sign the line below with the pen above if I be so moved to join this flingage. Your utter use of utterly persuasive language is utterly persuasive: and that be a reason fine enough to join, or so me thinks.


League, i.e. Captain League (similar to Captain Teague, oddities ye be wondering)(Signature)

[League]

Arrg matey, your use of language in another thread was utterly captivating: captivated was I, and utterly so. Now, just give me a pirate's second, that be, a day, to create the Captain League pirate, and I'll scour tomorrow on the morrow for a meat-in.

As well, as we progress through this plunder game, a shift to the dark side may be in order. Once we witness ye growin' competitive, a charming trip to my charming guild may be in order.

[Berto Xplosion]

This lot named Gadflies intrigues an old sea hag like myself but thy question remains, where ye hail from? I will give you a chance to prove your seaworthiness to me, just reply with a port o'call.

[Ferrex The Scurvy]

[Lucrecia Merlose]

We be a tad bit on the late side but we be here now. Same place:

Anegoso Ocean
Tortuga
Faithful Bride (Tavern)

We be here till the top of the hour!

Aye there be no bildge slang ((lols)) but ye can talk as much as ye wish. We be not look'n fer large numbers mate, if'n we do get a large crew then that just be a bonus. Quality over quantity, mate.

If'n ye not be a like minded pirate then why ye even be bother'n to give yer mind here? Mayhaps ye think I might be chang'n me own mind. I be begg'n yer pardon but that be not happen'n. Even a Blaggard can tell that ye are not interested in Gadflies and that be fine and dandy. We not be everyone's cup 'o tea, or rum.

Have a good one mate!

((Don't take it as an insult but use punctuation. It will do your communication skills wonders.))

I don't believe I've heard anyone say lol, lowl, or anythin' that sounds like that. I can't even be sayin' what "lol" could be, unless it's related to a mole or somethin' of the sort.

((Gadflies is a role-playing (aka in-character) guild. When people talk they don't use leet speak in conversation.))

So you're sayin' that if I were to go up to someone, say at a bar or some fine drinkin' establishment, and whisper to them "lol" they might, if so inclined, know what I'm sayin' and do somethin' nice like hand me a mug of grog or so?
