Who we are? Francis Brigade was a small band of saboteurs and bandits in early Janaury. Numbers have grown within the past few months. Founded on December 21st, 2009, The Francis Brigade was just another guild. But it grew seizing land like the Brigade Triangle and Camp Baboon Forest. We are always in need of new soldiers who are willing to join and risk their lives for the inocent people of the caribbean whos rights are being tested by the E.I.T.C. And other forces who stand in our way. We have never lost a war except for one battle.

a new mission!

Ravens cove a place destroyed by jolly roger and the eitc over weapons lies in shambles. The brigade will take the island and offer aid to the island and the people to keep them safe and to turn it into a brigade armory and trading post, for anyone who seeks shelter may find them self safe with the brigade!

Frequently asked questions:

Q: are you a eitc or navy guild?

A: No we are a organized militia to drive back the forces of the navy, eitc and Jolly Roger

Q: how can i earn ranks?

'''A: ranks are earned when the brigadier general of commanding officers feel you deserve a rank up. A good way to get ranks is to show up for trainin listen to orders get a unifom and show respect to everyone.'''

Q: what if i dont have enough money for uniforms or i need money?

'''A: just ask the brigadier general he will give out gold to member in need for free! the brigadier general has so much gold to give away to the members which makes this guild another reason to join!'''

A Letter to Francis Bluehawk from Jack Swordmenace
Dear Francis,

Bonjour my friend! As a sign of good faith towards you and your great navy, I have joined the Francis Brigade.

I would like to suggest the formation of a new Division, which I can lead should ye wish. The Division could be called either the Conquérantes (Conquerors), or the Explorateurs (Explorers). Some uniforms for the division could be, for the leader, the Expedition Admiral, a Worn Coat, Dealer shirt, embellished vest, adventure pants, Adventure belt, Adventure boots, and for the Second in command, or the Head Explorer, a Dealer Shirt, Shop vest, adventure pants, adventure boots, and Magenta Ostrich hat. The other uniforms could be voted on if you wish, or you could pick them. The division would serve as sea men responsible for scouting new territory for the Brigade as well as serving as scouts in battle and explore the wild islands and claim them for the Brigade.

Let me know what ye think,

~ Jack Swordmenace, King of the 5th Brethren Court

November 7th, 2010 News Letter to the Brigade

Hello soldiers, as you know everything is going as planned our dear friends in the cold crusaders have our backs. Which makes us not able to stop, their is no need to worry about the E.I.T.C. anymore they are still alive.... In history books that is. Also it has come to my attention that some Brigands wanted uniforms changed? Well that is possible, but we would have to have a vote for it; also it might take a while to have everyone with new uniforms. Neverless it might happen or not but the chance of it happeneign are low. If we did happen to go back to uniforms i have a nice one in mind that was the starting uniforms of the brigade that not mnay has seen it was when the brigade was first founded! Also please dont try to start wars with random people it is encouraged to just ignore them and they will leave us alone. A reminder to all that the 1 year celebration of francis brigade is coming up soon! we hope to get 200 members by then! So invite your friends and crew member, remember lvl 15 and up!

November 1st 2010=====

Today the brigade yet again won another battle, it was backed up with allies and the battle was smooth and easy. Dog O' Hawk and his soldiers joined the frey while several brigade gun boats blasted away the enemy vessels. After the Brigade jumped over to port royal and drove jolly roger and his army of bone heads back. After, victory was celebrated with a hot piping cup of earl grey tea. The Brigades numbers grow every day and soon it will hit the 200 mark! It has 165 members at the moment, most of them unlimited high level soldiers! Also our old enemy, Slappy, has been killed.

Ah, good to see the greatest navy of the 5th Brethren Court showing its prowess against our adversaries! You've made us all proud mates! And yes, Slappy fell at my blade.

The guild battled a Treasure Fleet. They successfully defeated two prized Tryrants.. but the Brigades Flagship was destroyed. Only about 5 men and 1 woman survived the destruction of the flagship of delta fleet. Lucky for the guild, Francis Bluhawk was one of the survivors. One chest also survived the battle. It was a chest looted from an enemy tyrant. It contained an Engraved Sabre, and an Engraved Cutlass. Because of that, they named the chest ' Engraved Chest '. They then painted the word Engraved on the chest and it is now kept in the Francis Brigade Mueseum on Tortuga. The blades were given to Francis Bluehawk, ( The sabre ) and Greencloths. ( The Cutlass. )

Today the Brigade fell to jollys curse of the muertos moon, turning them into undead zombies. Everyone was defeated except Francis Bluehawk (Me!) A tip to stay alive is to stick together, dont use broad swords and if you are being attacked use a swift foot potion and head far out in the water! Wensesday August 11th 2010

Today the brigade did a great job training and alot of new recruits were enlisted. No battles took places but a fleet was formed and fleet training took place. On other news george treasurestealer joined again, Charlotte Heartstealer was amazed when I took off my shirt, Hawk gained many new sharp shooters, no sign of EITC blacksharks, New class members are needed for the following: Grenadiers, cavalry, soldiers. It was reported the black sharks were going to attack today but it never happened. Also if the Brigade gets up to 200 members level 10 and higher I will pay people gold who need it in the guild!

Tuesday August 10th 2010

As of Tuesday August 2010 it was issued the brigades uniforms and classes were changing. I have made up my mind and it will stay the way it has always been. Only if people listen to me. You must make a change and listen this is not just a guild it is a life style. If you listen to me i will respect you and your fellow soldiers will. And that is also how promotions are earned. Remember this guild is famous and you will be getting fame, so show respect. Not listing to orders will make you look stupid and just might get you kicked so if you are AFK tell people please.

Wednesday October mess

im one of the vet im saying that isaiah was hired

A Messenger Arrives!
I bear a message from Jack Swordmenace, GM of the United Pirate Army and Founder of the Pirate EITC Resistance!

Francis Bluehawk,

I've received word from our scouts and spies within Leon's ranks that tomorrow (November 30th, 1721) Leon plans on ambushing your ships during their daily rounds past Ile De Etable De Porc, from behind the rock formations there! I implore you, tomorrow keep your ships away from Ile De Porc! The report also said that while they ambushed you, since he knew I would send aide immediately, he would attack Resistance HQ at the King's Head Bar on Tortuga, and burn it to the ground! Please, divert your forces from the Ile De Porc waters and make wind for Tortuga immediately! Leon will send a whole platoon after the HQ and we don't have enough men to survive a siege! We will set up defensive positions and await your arrival. Also, DO NOT ENGAGE any Co. Republic forces, I will explain to you personally tomorrow, after the siege is broken! Hurry! Pull your ships out of the Privateering waters and head toward Tortuga, or all will be lost!

END OF NOTE ---

This sounds like a dire situation! Francis Brigade, stand by for orders tomorrow!
