You technically don't need to like cats.

 

But it helps.

 

That's debatable.

 

Hmm. At least @Kelani likes cats...

 

I like MY cat bc he chose me to be his human. The others are a bunch of little yowly fur monsters.

 

Fur monsters who try to kill me.

 

Aww, my cats wouldn't try to kill you. They'd just run and hide.

 

Congrats to the crew on an awesome rumble win! Black flag comp put up a good showing, with their captain getting an impressive 1008 bp! Also, a special shout out to @Kelani and boomhower for impressive PRs! #proudcaptain #ladiesincharge

Next rumble: tonight! Same bat time, same bat channel!

 

Hello,

You probably have seen some of my posts around here on the forums. I am interested in joining your crew. I am a very active player in game and in chat. I haven't been playing the game very long (50 days), but have made excellent progress so far (just upgraded to PH7, maxed PH6 defenses, lv 19 gunners) I gem for fun, or when I am feeling ultra competitive, or when I want to farm and make a big push for upgrades.

Overall, I am a friendly helpful person, so I predictably give more than I take (1500 donated to 500 requested in my current guild). Rumbles are a favorite of mine. I typically score in the top 5 on any rumble in my current guild. I believe working as a team gets the best results.

Here is a screenshot of my stats:



As far as why I am leaving the Dead man's Chest? Well, there are some amazing members there, and I have grown quite fond of them. It is very difficult for me to leave.

However, I just don't see anything changing to create an active and thriving place like you all have. We have at best 8-10 members who chat, and less who make a serious effort in rumbles. Typically only a few of us pull the weight in rumbles, outscoring our other members by 10x or more.

Donations are always great, but again its because of these top 10 members. We have a lot of dead weight and it does get frustrating.

I have played a few other games like this (CoC, Boom Beach, etc but like Plunder Pirates the best) and I have made the "commitment" in the past to stick with a half-active guild because a liked several of the members, and then i spend my remaining time playing the game, and encouraging growth and activity in chat, hoping our guild will get better, trying to keep good people, etc etc...for years, and the results are predictable.

So I have decided to be proactive this time and make the switch before it becomes too difficult to. I am loyal and want to find a good home to support for the long haul.

Please let me know. Thanks.

ps. I have 3 awesome cats...
