Hi everyone! One of the best things about Plunder Pirates for us is the community - not just the community we've made within our guild, but the community of guilds - on the forum, in Slack, Line, and on fan sites. The best thing for me about that is the cooperative spirit of everyone - we're all rivals in the game, but out here we're all playing the game together and helping each other. In this spirit, we thought we'd start sharing this little thing we do at the end of each rumble to give a shout-out to our crew. It takes a few minutes, but it's a chance to say hi to everyone and to let the Seadogs their hard play isn't going unnoticed. We're posting this here, instead of in the recruiting thread, because this isn't an attempt to recruit new crew. It's more a chance to say hi to everyone at the end of our rumbles, give a shout out to our crew, give recognition in the whole PP community, thank our visitors from other guilds, and (we hope) to say hi to our rumble rivals after a good battle. We rumble twice a week, and we'll try to come by and add the awards here whenever we can. Happy rumbling! -ElF

Thanks Elf for all the little extras you do in our guild that make it a happy and special place for all of us!
Thanks 10, and that goes for all of our officers who help out including you. Lately I've been pretty swamped and really haven't had time to keep up. Between that, and several of the officers being on vacation, it has been amazing to see the Seadogs just keep running as smoothly as ever!
Thanks Sir ElFrenetico, many thanks to you, our officers, to everyone in our guild and to all who we've rumbled with both visitors and rivals for making this game fun to play!!

We have the Boggs sailing event coming up, and will be getting some help from our Seadogs R&R crew and our friends over at Pegleg. Be sure to say hi as you see them join over the next day or two. Get those long sails going, and ready to claim after the Boggs start. Great rumble Seadogs, and to our rumble rivals, it was an honor to rumble with you!
@ElFrenetico I really like this idea, I used to make this sort of thing a part of my guild description. If you don't mind, I'd like to adopt this method as a means of rewarding my players. Regards, Sea Patriot
Absolutely don't mind at all! We thought we'd share it for that reason, because it has worked so well for us and we'd love to know that anyone else finds it helpful too.
Until now, I've mostly rewarded active players with promos and maxed out pirates other than Gunners. Thanks, I'll come up with a plan and roll out a player recognition thread for my guild within the week.

OK, other news of the day. Our fellow pirate Mick McStaggers has been off line now for 32 days. The officers have been trying to contact Mick through other media channels but have had no response. The officers have had a lengthy discussion and have come to the rather painful decision to let Mick go. Mick, we all hope that you will sail back to the Seadogs where you will be most welcome. Happy sails Mick. We’ll miss Mick’s grog box. As a result of Mick’s leaving the guild, we have an officer’s position to fill. The officers invite crew who are interested in the position to contact any officer through Line or in game chat. You will need to either be on the Line app or willing to join. The officers’ role involves posting perks funding, vetting pirates wanting to join, assisting with inquiries from crew, and the most important role, joining officer discussions on just about anything from promotions, rumbles, etc. Anyone from the rank of Crew is invited. The US Labour Day long weekend is this weekend. Last year we had a lot of crew on shore leave. Last year we ended up cancelling the rumble, so if you could let us know, a decision can be made. No news from Midoki about the next update. The new map must be about to drop… surely! Just hoping there is a bit more than a new map. Lynsey has said there are new things planned, but no timeline. OK Seadogs that’s it from me today, have a great day. See you next rumble!
Saturday, 2 September 2017 Rumble Awards Hi Seadogs - today’s rumble awards by Officer 850arrr. Hear ye hear ye, it’s now time for the Seadogs Rumble Awards! Great effort on the rumble, no misses from the crew! Our top scoring mate who grabbed the Blue Anchor is Seaclearer 26,112! Great job good sir! Up next we had nine trophy winners! For scores 10K and higher: 850Arrr 21,874, Govan53 15,701, Cap’N Black 15,126, Dog Breath 15,015, Smudger 11,360, Mantor 11,097, stv1919 10,386, 10Atious 10,250, Jeff Puetz 10,058 Great job mates, solid playing right there. To cap it off we had eight Medals, for scores of 5K and higher: Intimidator, GB, Argh the Pirate, Rock le Jock, Rich, Lotso, Toserman, Husar Nice job Seadogs. This concludes the rumble awards, and now just to mention another time we are continuing to look for crew who want to be an officer. We have had a couple step up and we will announce the promotions before the next rumble but we’d like to keep the door open if more would like a shot. Duties entail that you must have the Line app, pitch in with our discussions, help funding of perks and be open to getting the captain a grog when he asks for it. Oh – that goes for quartermasters too. Alrighty then, break out that rake and shovel, it’s farming time till our next rumble. Congratulations Seadogs on another rumble win! Yyyaaarrrgghhh!
