Pintel:"Those aren't pieces of eight, they're just pieces of junk!" Gibbs:"Aye, the original plan was to use nine pieces of eight to bind Calypso, but when the First Court met, the Brethren were, to a one skint broke."

Pintel:"So change the name."

Gibbs:"What? To 'Nine Pieces of Whatever-We-Happen-to-Have-in-Our-Pockets-at-the-Time?' Oh yes, that sounds very piratey.

Why it was formed
Prior to its formation300px|left|The scene in which the calling for the formation of the 5th Brethren Court was made, Captain Leon and Lord Beckett of the EITC had declared that anyone suspected of piracy was to be hung. Many rights were also taken away from the citizens of the Caribbean, including the right to a trial by jury of peers. Then, Captain Jack Swordmenace decided to stand up for pirates' rights and form the new Brethern Court, which was lead by some of the most well-known and legendary pirates of all time.

Anti-Leon Movement
This is to discuss what the Court shall do with that mad man Leon. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below. -Marcus Warhawk

Our Calling
The call to which the Brethren responds with a meeting is simple.

300px|left

The king and his men stole the queen from her bed, and bound her in her bones... the seas by ours, and by the powers, where we will, we'll roam.

Yo ho, all hands, hoist the colors high..

Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die

Some men have died and some are alive

- and others sail on the sea..

- with the keys to the cage, and the Devil to pay, we lay to Fiddler's Green!

Yo ho! Haul together! Hoist the colors high! Heave ho! Thieves and beggars! Never shall we die!

The bell has been raised from it's watery grave... Do you hear it's sepulchral tone? We are a call to all, pay heed the squall and turn your sail toward home!

Yo, ho, haul together,

hoist the colors high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die.

Resign
Sadly, do to personal reason I'm resigning from the 5th Brethren Court.

VICTORY!
The Brethren Court has been victorious in rallying the pirates to their first victory against Leon! The battle was named The Battle of Brethren Court, and it is posted on the wiki. Check it out, and for those that were there add more details!

The battle lead to the capturing and execution of many EITC leaders, although a few, namely Captain Leon, William Darkvane, and John Macbatten managed to escape. Commander James Warhawk was given the task of executing the EITC Chief of the Cannoneers, Jim Bluehawk.

Warhawk resigns, Gets imprisoned, Escapes, Rejoins
James Warhawk has reigned his place in the Brethren Court and his title of Pirate Lord (If you don't believe me, ask him) But after betraying Leon during a massive Sea exercise, James was thrown into the High Security Prison in Fort Dundee. if anyone wishes to visit him, he can be found on Fort Dundee. There, James was sentenced to 500 Years behind bars. He is currently serving his fourth year. But then, James was busted out by his old friend Francis Bluehawk and his militia. James then was able to rejoin the Brethern Court, now having a purpose to fight for.

Matter of the Election of a Pirate King/Queen
While it would have been preferable to not have to vote a pirate King/Queen, the need has arisen due to the war with Leon and the EITC.

The rules for the vote are as follows.
 * 1) Only pirate lords can vote.
 * 2) Only pirate lords can be elected.
 * 3) You may vote for yourself

The problem with this is that usually every Pirate lord just votes for himself/herself. Post your vote below and NO CHEATING. That means NO CHANGING OTHER PEOPLES VOTES. To ensure this doesn't happen, there'll be a sub-section for each pirate lord's vote.

UPDATE!
So far in the elections for pirate king 11 pirate lords have voted and the tally is..

Jack Swordmenace: 5 votes

Richard Goldvane: 1 vote

Stpehen: 2 votes

Kat Bluebonnet: 1 vote

Nate Raidhawk: 1 vote

Ian Bone Crusher: 1 vote Francis Bluehawk: 1 vote

Jean Le'fitte: 1

The Elections are over, and Jack Swordmenace has been chosen as the King of the Brethren Court!

Wake up and smell the burning fleets.

Once a Pirate King is decided, we shall go to war.

We will fight. And you will die.

~ Pirate Lord Jack Swordmenace

EITC REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is it. I have made a band of high-ranking EITC Officers who wish to throw Leon out of office and to replace him with a new, non-insane ruler. Now, the officers had a vote, and they approve me as the leader of the New PEACEFUL EITC. We have a plan to sign a treaty with the pirates in the carribean and restore peace and order back to the land. Now, the revoltion and I are planning to overthrow Leon tomorrow, my term as new Head of the EITC will begin immediately after. I will sign a treaty with ALL members of the Brethern Court and we can once again be at peace. An end to the war.... Sounds magnificent, doesnt it? Please leave your thoughts in your comments below. Thank You. -Lord James Warhawk'

Oh how wonderful this would be Warhawk. But sadly, I'm afraid it might not work. The only reason people even work for Leon, who is in every meaning of the word "Self-Entitled", is because they are bored and have nothing else to do. The people who work for him are conflictarians, as I like to call them. They just fight to fight, and they will fight whoever is the side in charge. So, in a game about pirates, they became EITC. Honestly, I don't think this would work. You would have to have some kind of, and I can't believe the words that are coming out of me mouth, "fake war" in order to keep people interested enough to leave the maniac. They work for Leon because its interesting that way, and we oppose him in part for the same reason.

~ Pirate Lord Jack Swordmenace

My god.... my "rebellion" just turned on me. They captured me and tried to hand me over to Leon, but I was lucky enough to be rescued by my men.... You are right Jack, this war will take every last ounce of our strength to win.

-Lord James Warhawk

Sorry to break it to you guys but I have joined the EITC, I was once a Lord under Lord Ben but I left when the guild broke up. If you want to stop the EITC, you'll have to stop me.

No problem, someone hand me a pistol

~ Pirate King Jack Swordmenace ~ EITC Lord Matthew Fireskull

The Pirata Codex
"The Code is the law." Articles of the Pirata Codex included:
 * ―Teague [src]


 * The Right of Parlay
 * Artycle II, Section I, Paragraph VIII (sharing of the spoils)
 * Artycle II, Section II, Paragraph I (whoever first spotted a treasure-laden ship could choose the best pistol for themselves)

The Codex also contained guidelines on how to maroon a man, useful rum-based recipies, and amendments for governing piracy in theSouth China Seas.[2]

The code was created by pirate legends Sir Henry Morgan, and my personal role model, Bartholomew Roberts, the greatest pirate who ever lived.

As per the code we are electing a king so as to declare war on the EITC.

Disqualification
Richard Goldvane is disqualified for removing James Warhawk's vote and giving himself 2 votes. I said no cheating, and I meant it.

~ Jack Swordmenace

All i did was post that i had two votes BECAUSE MY FRIEND VOTED FOR ME! Im SOOOOOOOO sorry if i accidently erased someone. All i meant to do was update it! I hope you understand i didn't do anything! Someone else might have done it but, not me! I wouldn't do anything wrong. And how did i cheat? I posted i had two votes yes, but that was because someone voted for me named El Fantasma1. I DIDN'T ERASE WARHAWKS VOTES! Im sorry for ' cheating ( Which i  DIDN'T!!!!!!! )  ' or ' erasing someone's vote ( Which i  DIDN'T!!!!!!!)  ' and im sorry for raising my voice but dang you blame people too quick ( No offense ). 21:32, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I blamed you because I had checked the page only a minute before and it said you had made an edit, and I saw it all. I didn't see that Warhawk had actually changed his own vote. So I didn't know otherwise, my apologies. But only pirate lords can vote (since the Brethren Court is composed of the pirate lords), so sadly this Richard Goldhawk's vote isn't valid.

But you aren't disqualified, my mistake

~ Jack Swordmenace

A Formal Apology
''I, Lord James Warhawk, consider this to be an honest mistake I unwillingly caused. I was to change my vote for myself and put Jack Swordmance's name down, but I forgot that I accidentally erased my name. I am sorry for all the trouble I caused with this.''

Sincerely, Lord James Warhawk.

Mysterious Addition...... Jean is Back ?
Ahoy....... Jean Le'fitte is back indeed. ( for those who didn't know ). Yes I'm back. I am currently third in command of Renegade Empire, just sprung up outta Billy Lockcutter's Family, I'm his cousin so I'm in charge of what you might call, sabatures. Looters, pyro's, cutthroats, my usual work. Anywho, yeah. lol. Jean Lafitte is a real pirate lord, who lived in, err, the 17th century?, and did sail the caribbean. Btw, Jean is pronounced John with a french accent, and fitte is pronounced, feet. I'll be attending the meeting, and anybody who objects to me being on the court boohoo. Hope you don't mind me butting in like the idea, grats Jack, your highness, '' and I hope I can add whatever insight or help possible. ''
