Partners N Crime

&nbsp Partners N Crime (often abbreviated "PNC") is a Pirates of the Caribbean Online guild run by Delmaria Darkskull, created on June 15th, 2009. The guild acts as the continuation of the previously popular guild Partners In Crime, which ran from December 2nd, 2007, to June 2nd, 2009.

Partners N Crime is a medium-sized, family-oriented guild that participates in many guild activities and events, run by both themselves, as well as events hosted by other pirates and Disney. Although the overall atmosphere of the guild is welcoming and friendly, it is reknowned for having it's rule system enforced very strictly, to mantain a mature, orderly guild. It is also extremely difficult to become promoted within the guild.

The guild is known mostly for it's participation and sponsorship on Pirates Online Forums. However, it is also located frequently on other sites dedicated to POTCO, as well as many popular areas in the Caribbean. (Host GM Events, Abassa, etc.)

Establishment
Partners N Crime was established after it's predecessor, Partners In Crime, folded due to the loss of it's Guildmaster.

On June 2nd, 2009, Partners In Crime's Guildmaster Norries Savviness left the game to due to being unpleased with how the game was being run. At the time, the guild was also in the mix of drama with many major guilds of the Caribbean, which may have also added up to the eventual outcome. The guild after Savviness's leave left many members, as well as other pirates, in disarray. The guild's remaining Officers were left to discuss the fate of the guild, knowing the decision would lead to a significant outcome.

After many internal, private arguements and debating, Partners In Crime Officer Delmaria Darkskull was decided upon to lead the new guild, which would continue the legacy of the old. However, the beginning stages of the guild were mired with much attention, drama, and many attacks, both physical and verbal, towards the guild and it's members. Eventually, however, these tensions cooled down, and things proceeded at a peace.

General Rules and Guidelines
While the actual list of rules and guidelines are quite lengthy, a short summary is as follows:


 * A pirate must respect all of his fellow pirates both in and out of the guild as if they were family, regardless of race, religion, gender, level, guild, etc.


 * Be sure to have fun, relax, and enjoy your time with us!


 * Out of politeness, always ask before teleporting to a fellow member of the guild.


 * Respect the wishes of your fellow guildmates while aboard their ship, leveling with them, and so forth.


 * Swearing, spamming, inappropiate comments, and other annoying or offensive chat will not be tolerated.


 * Never request to be promoted.


 * Griefing or bothering other players, for whatever reason, will result in immediate reprimandation/ejection.

All partners, regardless of guild rank, or longivity within the guild, are expected to mantain all of these rules under a three-strikes-and-you're-out basis.

Memembership Qualifications
While the guild is mainly open to all pirates, Partners N Crime only appreciates the pirates of the highest of quality:


 * Open Chat is recommended, although we do allow pirates with SpeedChat Plus to join. We would like to remind SpeedChat Plus users, however, that because the majority of our members are above the age of 13, you may at times be unable to communicate well with some members. Accomodations will be made to aid you, however.


 * Must be mature and fun-loving. The guild is based on friendship, fun, and being openly interactive with each of our members. As such, we like it that all of our members are respectful, open-minded of the feelings and wishes of others, and are willing to interact with others.


 * Must be an active player. While we do hope that you are able to come online and spend your time with us, we are aware of real life obligations, and hold a "Real Life Comes First" Policy towards our members.


 * Must be willing to follow all the guild rules.


 * Must be tolerant of other systems of belief, ideas, and ideals. We are composed of a very diverse group of pirates from across the globe, so we stress that all of our members keep an open mind when talking in the guild. We aren't asking our members to change what they believe in, but we are asking them to be mindful of others.


 * We accept both Unlimited and Basic Access members, regardless of level.
