The William Guide
Introduction
Welcome to the official William handbook. In this guide you will be tested to study and remember most of the information presented in it. There will be commands and rules of the william. You may be tested at trainings and such so this information is very useful.
*****Note: Many of these commands were not thought of by me but were gathered from other guides.

I. Behavior of a pirate
Pirates whom are in the same crew are expected to show loyalty to each other and to their captains. Even if you are not in the same crew as another pirate you are still expected not to RK them or TK them unless they are your pirate crews enemy. Pirates of The William are also expected to not RK or TK in any situation. TK'ing is strongly prohibited but RK can occur if you are sent/against a person/crew. Pirates are expected to only kill another person in defense or if there is ever a riot/raid at the fort. Pirates must not act "Noobish" around others especially not their captain (Lainsan3). Pirates are expected to have memorized at least some of this handbook in order to get a promotion or further on continue being a pirate. A pirate will also respect higher authorities, in this case HR'S
HR's tittles
First Mate: Any first mate will be called First mate/Mate [Insert first mate name here]
Quartermaster: Any Quartermaster will be called Master/QM [Insert Quartermaster name here]
Captain: The Captain will be referred to as Cap'n/Captain/Cap Lain/Madelaine (In the williams case)
Pirates will also be expected to warn higher authorities of problems rather than taking it on themselves and making it possibly worse.
A pirate must show discipline, loyalty, and respect towards other. If a pirate is to misbehave at another fort or even at Fort Pitt they may be demoted/exiled/temporarily removed from the pirate crew.
