Intro
The week had been horrible, just about anything that could go wrong
did go wrong.
You are happy though, your long awaited vacation has finally come.
Two whole months on a cruise of the Caribbean!! Yay!
The cruise line you chose has some beautiful ships.
As you wait to board You look anxiously at the ship you will be
sailing on.
The name Pyrate Queen is painted on its hull.
..................................................................
later
After having a few beers in the bar you decide to take a walk on the
deck.
As you are exploring the ships deck you happen across an old sailor
swigging away at a flask. "A storms a brewin`" he shouts, "BETTER
GET INSIDE!!"
Before you can react, it starts to pour and you find yourself soaked
to the skin.
The rain is coming down so hard you cant see anything past the tip
of your nose.
You feel someone grab you by the arm and pull you into a door.
As you wipe the water out of your eyes You recognize the old sailor.
"Those tropical rain storms can come out of nowhere" he says as he
offers you a swig of his flask.
...................................................................
A few hours later
You awake in your room as you hear alarms going off
and cries of "abandon ship! abandon ship!"
You stagger to the door and head for the deck. The Ship starts to
lean and you slip hitting your head.
Everything goes black...
...................................................................
When you wake up again, you are laying in a wooden tub on a beach
with a young man standing over you.
He looks somehow familiar to you. "Wh..Where am I?" you manage to
stutter.
The young man says, "Shipwrecked Eh Matey?? Well Ye be `ere at Pyrate Haven in the heart
of the Caribbean!"
The young man introduces himself as Ferdinand.
After a long conversation you determine either you are dreaming, or
you just went mad.
The only other possibility is that the stories of the Bermuda
Triangle are for real.
Your brain hurts just from thinking about it.
WELCOME TO PYRATES!

Attacking
Attacking will gain you experience when you win, but you lose
experience if you lose. The amount of experience depends on the
comparative strength of your enemy, if they are much weaker, you
won't get much experience
More on Attacking
Attacking is a good way to get experience, and exert your
superiority over those weaker than you. In order to attack you need
33% energy, and should have a weapon. When you win a fight you will
get a percentage of experience depending on how much stronger you
are compared to the person you are attacking. Make sure that you
really want to fight the person, because once you start you can't
stop until one of you loses. When you start a fight, you will have
the option of using any weapon that you currently have equipped in
your inventory page.

Mate to the fleet. fleets are able to do Organised Crimes for money
