Seaking, it's Eastern Standard.

Regatta is TONIGHT, 10pm EST on Monada - Padres Del Fuego Dock! See you there!

Eliza Creststeel · #3 04-04-2011, 04:51 PM

Mates,

I want to first thank all of the pirates who came out and attended this most recent running of the ETC's long-standing race tradition, the Survival Regatta.

We had 8 ships enter the contest this time and all vessels ran a pretty good race. And there was only 1 known casualty from enemy fire.

However, due to some misunderstanding of the rules and some disagreements regarding lap count - we had to declare this a no-contest with no winner. An offer was made to rerun the race, but the teams could not agree.

That said, I do want to compliment the crew of the Black Guardian for running one of the best and quickest race efforts ever. However, both their vessel and the runner-up Iron Rogue did not cross the finish line before porting back at Padres. So, they did not finish the race.

Two other vessels did not complete the race, due to lap miscount. We had three officials counting laps confirm this. Also, one vessel was witnessed cutting a corner on the 2nd lap and was disqualified. I am withholding the name.

Therefore, to those pirates who attended, please accept my apologies for the event ending on such a sour note. This race has been held nearly every month for almost two years without incident and I will make every effort to see that this will NOT occur again in the future.

Umm I was Iron Rogue and I most certainly did cross the finish line. I passed your ship 100% after doing 4 complete laps. I even sat there for about 2-3 minutes before porting. It's all good though. I don't need to prove myself to anyone. I'm the master of my own destiny.

Hope all your future events go smoothly but I won't be participating.

Attitude is more important than your Notoriety. Unlimited and Basics from Level 7 up (first pirates only). 2nd or 3rd pirates can join at any level.

We are sizeable guild, having been maxed - but we try to maintain an active roster and we strive for a family atmosphere. Our players are largely adults and older teens, but younger pirates are not excluded.

The ETC maintains a web site all members are allowed to use and participate in, with additional veteran and officer areas.

Guild Events are held 2-3 times a week and we make effort to promote events for other guilds and organizations too.

We encourage all members to try various events and mini-games, though ranking, SvS and PvP are not primary goals.

Our ranks are by officer vote only. Deserving members are nominated and elected, not given away by me and I do not override any final officer corps decision. This goes the same with member removal or major guild policy.

Drama is NOT welcome, and will be met with quick response. But, open and free-reeling Guild chat will find a home.

I am a Guild Master, not dictator. Think of Eliza as more a big sister and all of your guildmates are here to support you and your experience in Pirates Online.

We abide by three basic tenets: Communicate, Assist and Respect.

It's that time again! Time for the running of the rust buckets as the ETC's Survival Regatta. We will be meeting at the docks of Padres Del Fuego (Cortola) - Sunday, May 29th at 5pm.

FOUR laps of dangerous racing aboard Light Galleons through the worst waters in the Caribbe. Getting home in one piece is a feat in itself!

The race is a straight lap, around Kingshead, Tormenta and Padres Del Fuego. Both of the inside legs have been changed. This will make it easier to navigate and harder to cheat without losing the fun of fleeing for your life.

- RULES -

1) LIGHT GALLEONS ONLY. Only 1 Crew member is allowed for repairs or cannon, but shooting is not recommended. You CANNOT launch from an SVS island.

2) Launch from the Padres Del Fuego dock, and line up behind the starting ship. Sail ONLY when the start/finish ship fires her broadsides. (The start/finish ship will then move to the back of Padres to count laps.)

3) You must go AROUND Kingshead, then AROUND Tormenta then AROUND Padres to complete a lap. You must pass the Start/Finish ship on all laps.

Any vessel caught cutting a corner is disqualified.

4) Complete ALL FOUR laps. If you are sunk, you're out. If NO ship survives, the vessel going the farthest is declared the posthumous winner.

5) ANY Sailing Boosts and skills are allowed.

Just to mention Regatta is open to all pirates and things are shaping up with a possible grudge match between previous winners Rannulf and Grace O'Malley.

I just joined the guild. Sorry to see I just missed the most recent race. I'm looking forward to the next one and getting a try at this. In the mean time I will practice

This Wednesday, June 29th, the Elite Thievery Company celebrates it's second anniversary!

As a way of celebrating and showing appreciation to our members and the countless other pirates and guilds that have been our supporters and allies, we will be holding a pub crawl Wednesday night - starting at 9pm EST.

We will start at the Rowdy Rooster on Port Royal (Abassa) then mosey down to the Royal Anchor before moving onto the Kings Arm and finally the Faithful Bride. Order your favorite - it's on us!

After drinking our fill, we will take to the seas! All revellers are invited to launch their ships with ours and form a blockade across the straights from Tortuga to Devil's Anvil. Once we blockade the harbor, all ships will then circle the Caribbe (Tortuga to Cuba to Padres to Kingshead) - sinking all in our path!

Can't wait to see you all there!

If not for my vacation, I would have been more than happy to attend! Early Congratulations to Eliza and all the honorable mates in the legendary Elite Thievery Co. For accomplishing such a feat!

Cheers, pirates!

I'd love to be there, but it's the same time as the SVS event, and i already signed up for that.

Eliza Creststeel · #14 06-28-2011, 01:38 AM

Seaking, the guild is likely going to have a weekend event Saturday as well...

Eliza Creststeel · #15 06-29-2011, 04:03 PM

Another amazing year mates!

And we've seen so much! Raven's Cove, The Queen Anne's Revenge, Infamy and now the Scoundrel of the Seas! It's a lot to keep up with and the pirates of the ETC have made incredible strides!

Our members flourish and as our star continues to rise, more and more pirates know our name and our reputation.

I can never thank you enough... from our great Officer Corps and supportive Petty Officers to the newest recruits - you make this family what it is and what it will become.

On the Horizon, so many possibilities... ship customization? trading? new quests? But, the important thing is that we discover these new adventures as mates.
