I.) Every Pirate is a Captain to their own Ship

Members are free to interact with the Illyriad world as the see fit, fully responsible for the gains and consequences of their own actions - this includes the repercussions of military or diplomatic aggressions, land claim violations, Global Chat rants or verbal assaults, personal histories/enemies, and most shenanigans that takes place outside our own Land Claims.

Alliance leadership will take additional efforts to guide newer players while they learn the social and mechanical game boundaries, but established/veteran members are largely left to their own devices unless requests are made to the contrary.

 

II.) Honor Amoung Thieves

Pirates are not permitted to engage in hostilities with other Pirates - this includes military or diplomatic aggression, poaching, or otherwise entering another Pirates 10-tile radius without permission.

 

III.) Everything has Value; Everything has Cost

Pirates are permitted to engage in minor military or diplmatic aggressions with other players or groups if they desire, though any campaigns involving multiple members against active and established players or alliances will be required to be handled in Black Sails [WARR!] or outside the Pirate Floatilla.

Unless the Diplomacy Page shows an ongoing war status, we consider these types of things to be a independent matters to be handled between the players themselves and without compulsory alliance assistance, so long as the Pirate involved can be shown to have been the provoker/aggressor in the situation.

 

IV.) Keep secure our most local Shipping Ports and Trade Routes

The Pirates participate in the Land Claims initiative.
We have laid claim to The Pirate Isles, The Orken Coast, Shardlands, Jurgor and the Long White east of X -200. 
 

Inactive towns may be razed or captured within the land claim, with or without the consent of the controlling alliance. Towns within the Land Claims permitted to be taken by players outside the alliance are expected to be in exodus to elsewhere within a reasonable timeframe after capture.

Anyone outside the Pirate Floatilla wishing to move within these borders must contact IKnights, and only IKnights for permission. No other members of the Grand Fleet may grant permission to enter the claim, any "permission" falsely granted by other members is not valid, players who move into the landclaim without permission specifically from IKnights will be made to leave the landclaim.      

 

V.) To err is Human; To Arrr is to be a Pirate
 

While the Captains generally avoid direct intervention with the deck swabbing lower ranks, they do get together often to drink rum, discuss pirate business, and drink rum. If you have something you feel needs to be addressed at an alliance level, feel free to contact them so the matter can be discussed.

YARR participates in most Tournaments throughout the year, fighting for and securing Totems across the Broken Lands to reap the benefits from their regional bonuses and enjoy friendly rivalries with neighboring alliances. We welcome Pirates and visitors alike to take part in the PVP, and only ask that the following guidelines be adhered to:

a) No cities are permitted to enter our landclaim for the sake of a tournament, and any cities or armies placed within our lands for any reason, including tournaments, will be considered a hostile action on our lands. Furthermore, due to how the tournaments are now structured, no troops are permitted on the totems in our landclaim until we have accrued 15 days of time on them.

b) Any cities placed (exodus/teneral/settled) within 20 tiles of an Totem after the locations have been announced (24hrs before the start of an event) is considered to be an active combatant in the event, and is subject to any form of hostilities until the conclusion of the event, or until the city has been relocated (whichever occurs first).

c) Any Armies placed within 5 tiles of a Totem during an event will be viewed as 'scout armies', and thus considered combatants in the event and subject to attack under the umbrella of Tournament Play.

d) Other than the reasons detailed in (a) and (b) above, participation in a tournament and subsequent PVP is restricted to Totem locations ONLY.

e) Providing all above requirements have been met, Tournaments will NOT be used as a reason to war or otherwise engage in unpleasantries with other alliances. Once the event ends, so do the hostilities.
