    @palmerageddon

    Claims and Siege

    Stand in your claim holding a golden shovel and do /sc

    This stands for sub claim.

    Then you mark it out.

    Its the exact same as a normal claim, except its got to be inside an existing claim.

    @Palmerageddon

    This is probably not the place to discuss tutorials; however, there are numerous guides here. See the link called “Guides” at the top of this page. Video tutorials are embeded/linked there as well.

    The best bet is a quick Search on google for videos:

    Google “GriefPrevention Subclaim”
    https://www.google.com/#q=griefprevention+subclaim&tbm=vid

    SignShop got you down, Google it:

    @Palmerageddon and @NickyB_123 I guess you come to a conclusion and I leave the Iborian and Thirteen Colonies timeline as it is? Thank you both for exploring your oldest memories!


    @CrazyPirate1
    Really the world border was at Port Royal back then? How funny!
    According to this page, http://piratemc.com/2014/02/16/a-new-beginning-piratecraft-version-2/ , Piratecraft 2 was opened in February 2014. I will leave 2013 out because of the small amount of people and events, as you said.
    If the Nassau “crew” (the real crew plugin was added in April 2015 but it doesn’t matter, of course) was founded within the first 24 hours, then it’s month of foundation would be February 2014. Nassau was an island town if I am correct and The Batavian Crew was the proper, official crew name. March 2014 would be the month of foundation of New Providence and the month of the fall of the Batavian Empire. Port Royal became then a city-state in April 2014, welcoming the Nassau’s citizens.
    (Or did the Batavian Empire include both Nassau and Port Royal?)
    I will soon contact markusi and keep studying for further information. Thank you for telling the beginning story, truly engaging.

    @Palmerageddon, Look at my stats. 13Co started the first week I joined the server, which was like 2 years ago. Check stats and they should comply. We just weren’t very vocal or big and our conflict with you and AceMunch happened a good time after FT. Independence was built as well as the start of our crew. Man, history can be sooo hard to get right xD. @applejk I am happy people like you care enough to settle and record it as it is also extremely important.

    @CrazyPirate1 Thank you for the notes. I know the server started in 2013, so there are one year and a half of misterious dark age which I will pleasurably start to study as soon as I finish the correction of 2014-2015. As a start, Port Royal was founded by you, so you could tell me around which month it was founded, right?


    @Lithvather
    I think I modified TUPE, does it look correct now?


    @Palmerageddon
    and @NickyB_123 I think you should define togheter the exact dates of foundation of your empires.
    Regarding Icanra, I found the information on http://wiki.piratemc.com/History_and_Events .
    The oldest forum topic I found about The Luteus Empire is this: http://piratemc.com/topic/an-apology-and-a-statement/ but I don’t think somebody would put wrong information on the wiki.

    Piratecraft Map May 2016
    Link for zoom – http://i.imgur.com/OD01MCq.jpg

    Hello, you have never heard about me but I am now here with a project. I have tried to study and explore the forum of Piratecraft in order to create a geopolitical map of the server, even though I have always been away from the community.
    It was a very hard work because I don’t know anybody here and the only way I could manage to success was to find old topics about wars, conquering, foundations and maps. I can’t complain about the wiki’s information because I can clearly see the effort put into it. A big issue was that there were few notes about towns and almost none of them had coordinates. I will give you the links for the sources if you are interested to follow the path of my work.

    The map I created shows only towns, painted with the crew’s colours. There are a lot of towns and settlements missing because of the lack of information on the forum and the wiki. I hope you will help me to complete the project by correcting what I got and adding what is missing.

    I’m planning to add the missing crews and create also a separate map with areas of influence. I also plan to add some notes near the city symbols with the year of foundation and the name of the founder. It looks overdetailed but somewhere on the forum I have seen the admin saying that this server loves history and traditions. I love them too.
    I would add the year and the founder also near the crew’s titles. Also ruin locations to remember, like Havanna.

    If you think the town names are too small, tell me. Tell me your opinion, I only ask the inhabitants of Piratecraft to give me as much information as you have, so I can give you the best map I can make.
    I have a very well organised project file so I can easily make modifications. Updates are not an issue.
    Thank you.

    I am sorry if I made some shameful mistakes. This research can be also useful for crew captains to check their notoriety: if there’s little information about them, it’s because they haven’t “advertised” themselves enough on the forum. I hope this topic will fuel some history love, before time erases our memory. Thank you again.

    @Palmerageddon – Hey listen, I’m not convicting you of supporting the Nazis or anything like that, but I just want to point out a few things that you may have ommitted or I don’t agree with.

    I don’t even want to know where did you get the information that Nazi Germans respected human rights. Besides, they didn’t only kill jews and those who opposed their ideas but they terrorized millions of regular people from certain ethnic groups, which according to their ideology were meant to slavery and death(e.g. Slavs). That’s also one of the reasons why the German economy was so successful during and after the war – lots of people had been sent to slave labour in German factories and then the huge profits were being transferred to safe Swiss banks.

    On a side note, the war with USSR was rather inevitable. If Hitler didn’t invade, sooner or later Stalin would probably attack. There could be only one dominant power in Europe after all, right?

    Ever wondered who the crews of PirateCraft are and what they stand for? Feel floundered finding friends to affiliate yourself with?

    Well, you’re in luck! Here’s a list of the currently active crews on PirateCraft as of the 23rd March 2016. Apologies if your crew isn’t in this list, I only know the crews which frequent the forums or which have made a name for themselves.

    Atlantis
    Power Structure: Federation
    Power Source: Unknown
    Character: Atlantis is a new crew lead by Konstruktor and Texter with the aim of focussing purely on the constructive side of Minecraft and avoiding all forms of PVP. The crew has yet to take off properly and is attempting to attract long-term players as well as striking deals with business ventures.

    British Empire
    Power Structure: Federation
    Power Source: Direct Democracy, former Timocracy
    Character: The British Empire is one of the oldest still active crews on the server and prides itself on its size, history and feats of construction. Having been caught up in many drawn-out wars for a period of over half a year, the leadership has grown tentative of getting involved in large-scale conflicts.

    Commonwealth of Nations
    Power Structure: Confederation
    Power Source: Representative Democracy
    Character: The Commonwealth of Nations is a new political union of crews aimed at improving the server’s community by sponsoring fledgling enterprises. It has yet to find its feet, but is already working on plans for the future.

    Character: Crusaders of the Void is an amalgamation of some of the richest and most powerful PVPers in PirateCraft. The crew has made a name for itself through its victories on the battlefield. The Crusaders may generally raid whoever they want and do whatever they like, but they must also respect their fellow crew members. CoV likes to emphasise that building is also an integral part of its culture.

    Elven Empire
    Power Structure: Chiefdom, Confederation
    Power Source: Absolute Monarchy
    Character: The Elven Empire has been reformed and reborn countless times in the past years. Even when seemingly beaten, the Elves have a knack of rising up as strong as ever before. Many beautiful cities in PirateCraft are owned by one of the Elven Kingdoms, which are ruled by various royal and aristocratic dynasties.

    Ender
    Power Structure: Unknown
    Power Source: Theocracy
    Character: Ender is an upstart crew with a spiritual bent, worshipping the mystical St. Ender and the path into the Void.

    Enterian Alliance

    Federation Nations Alliance
    Power Structure: Confederation
    Power Source: Representative Democracy
    Character: The Federation Nations Alliance is a union of crews which started out as a military alliance where Cubigran, the Entarian Alliance, and the SPQR to combine forces and protect each other from enemies. In the aftermath of the Verussian Empire being kicked out of the League of Nations for plotting against its allies, they too joined the Federation Nations Alliance.

    Iborian Empire
    Power Structure: Unknown
    Power Source: Absolute Monarchy
    Character: The Iborian Empire is ruled by Palmerageddon and while small, is a respected member of the League of Nations. The name and capital of the crew have changed over time, but its ruler remains the same. The capital of New Faythe stands strong against the sands of time.

    League of Nations
    Power Structure: Confederation
    Power Source: Representative Democracy
    Character: The League of Nations is a union of crews formed to fight the infamous 0utlaws.

    Norse

    Power Source: Unknown

    Power Source: Unknown
    Character: Thirteen Colonies is a crew representing colonial America, reflecting this period in its architecture and dress style. A loyal member of the League of Nations, Thirteen Colonies has in the past taken up arms in defence of its allies.

    Togukawa
    Power Structure: Unitary State
    Power Source: Despotism
    Character: Togukawa is a communion of radical revolutionaries bent on overthrowing the “ruling donator elite” of PirateCraft and establishing a golden age for deckhands. So far unsuccessful in its ventures and widely condemned for the means pursued to achieve its desired end, crew leader Ultracreeper remains stoic and trudges on down his chosen path.

    Verussian Empire
    Power Structure: Unitary State
    Power Source: Dictatorship
    Character: The Verussian Empire has had many up and downs in its history. Destroyed and ravaged many times, the Verussian people constructed settlements on many islands before founding their permanent home on the landmass commonly known as the “Verussian continent”. The members of this crew work as tirelessly as termites on improving their infrastructure and building large cities.

    Viper
    Power Structure: Fellowship
    Power Source: Unknown
    Character: Viper is a small assassin crew based in the northern jungle of PirateCraft. Led by Chamberlain, the vipers actively hunt down targets with large bounties on their heads.

    PirateCraft Articles

    Forty Issues!

    Breaking news: I’m turning 40 today!!!!

    Ha.. Ha… No… Just Joking!

    But one thing we aren’t joking about is we have reached 40 Issues!

    Yay! EPIC CHICKEN PARTY!!!

    [This just in, we cant afford a chicken party so… Use that imagination!]

    Well all jokes aside, both me and Mandarin are very very happy about reaching this number as it just goes to show that we haven’t bored the server to death… yet *evil laugh* We both want to thank all of you viewers, yes you, reading this article right now as it really helped the Articles grow and flourish like a pretty lil’ flower, we couldn’t of done this all without you and we are both really exited about what is to come! So thanks guys and enjoy this issue.

    If you post below how much you enjoyed this article then you could win a speed boat! Mabye… *not really*

    A Wave Farewell and a Welcome Wave, and Rep’s Pizza

    Two of piratecraft’s more well known players have been recently moving about more than atoms in a.. wait a min, i’m a pirate, what’s an atom (and where has the rum gone?)

    Lucky the Pirate has come back to pirate craft today and everyone is so exited to see him, but not in the way he might have hoped. Expecting warm welcomes he was greated with the commands to give Rep a time out for eating pizza in teamspeak – wait this is news..? – He promises to build a wall around the border of Rep and his endless supply of Pizza boxes. Keto had this to say:

    Keto: Lucky you better be back… Rep has been eating pizza and chewing very loud on teamspeak. It made captaincrackerz very uncomfortable and i could tell he was going to throw up. Whoop rep into shape for ketoh!

    On a more sad side of the news.. the player Wolf Soul is leaving piratecraft for the foreseeable future because of personal reasons. We will all miss you @WolfSoul !!!

    Clearly you’ve never been to Metropolis

    Konstrucktor’s city was attacked and badly raided by hackers yesterday and the city was badly hit by this, it is unsure if they will be able to fully rebuild and weather or not this will be a finishing blow to the once florishing city, we wish them luck. The hackers involved in the event were banned and there are rumours circling if loot and vital supplies will be contributed/returned to the city, it is unsure what will happen and we can only hope that they can rebuild. Konstrucktor had this to say:

    Konstrucktor: I thank you guys for your gracious comments, I’m going to continue forward & keep playing no matter what.

    Icanra’s Joke of the Week!

    The pirate captain Palmerageddon walks into a bar wearing a paper bag over his head. He sits down at the bar and orders some rum.

    The bartender asks: “Palm.. Why are you wearing a paper bag?”

    “Arr” He replies: “Well, as always… I’ve got a bounty on my head!

    [None this Issue because of inactivity reasons. To have your advertisement featured in the news, simply contact either Icanra or Mandarin over forums or in-game]

    @Palmerageddon It’s all good, its just I dont like when people tell someone somethings wrong but have no input on how to fix it, however, there have been no players from any crews (save wolfheart, which we resolved) who have come to NeoItalia, as we call it, and claimed it to be theirs, but the thing is we have claimed massive amounts of land, set up a physical boarder almost around the entire half of the continent, and no one beides you guys are apposing it, its been well known where we reside and where our capitol is, and i just dont understand why all of a sudden its such a big issue when no one from any crew seems to care about it, hell, BE even offered to make us one of their towns, so they must know the lands not being used except for us and wolfheart. But at the end of the day, when we got there there was almost nothing except wolfheart’s place and we have never seen anyone except some friends with bases nearby enter the area, no rep of any crew is upset of us setting up here, and with the XE thing, I think i just placed the boarder in the wrong spot :P.

    @palmerageddon thats exactly why i added in the expansion plan, thank you, we dont want to take land thats already claimed, but the way you and crazy were saying it made it sound like we had already expanded into their land, and please, i know you are trying to be helpful, but the passive aggressive “you will try, and fail” is not very helpful given the situation. Why are people always like this to us?

    You’ve not listed the XE land as possible expansion, nor is it white. We are saying you have expanded onto their land, because that is what the map says.

    Aha. Some of these stories are so funny. My story, well my real life one is pretty sad, not anything to do with games, just things which have happened :( But i’ll at least tell yall how I got my Username. In Year 6 (5th Grade if your a yank), we were soon to be moving to our secondary school, a teacher of a name of the most incredible name you could think of (Andrews) came & talked to us about SCIENCE! This was my forte & interest since I first started school probably & I’ve always liked Science (probs why i’m taking it for GCSEs, and predicted good grades) & he was teaching us about rockets. He showed us a video of the SSC Bloodhound (before it did it’s record breaking drive last year, I am now in Year 10, this was like 3 years ago perhaps this story when it happened) & made hydrogen gas under a test tube by splitting water with electrodes & then did a ‘pop’ test by igniting the hydrogen. He then gave us the task to make a paper/card rocket & that a competition would arise from it that the rocket which stayed in the air long enough would win. We all got set to work, yet remember how I told you my life is a bit sad (well more so back then) I did this on my own, probably because I wanted all the credit. With an irrational sense of optimism as we walked out onto the fields with our little paper rockets, I was thinking up a good name for my rocket, I had recently watch the film Armageddon (not something a 11 year old boy should have been watching at that age xD) & I thought of calling my rocket that, until it hit me… Palmerageddon. We all stood in a circle as this epic man from the ‘big school’ with his trusty pump on the ground, lowered the first rocket onto it, a build up of air pressure soon was created and POOF! up it went into the sky. He timed it from when it was launched to when it hit the ground. Slowly, more and more people’s rockets were launched, some successful & some not so. I was last, the two girls before me had gotten the best time out of anyone else that day! I stepped slowly up to the pump, handed the shiny bald man my Palmerageddon, & watched as it was pumped full of air. POOF! Up it went, and a good height too, but now listen closely, this is the best part. My rocket had 4 ‘wings’ on the side, 2 at the top, 2 at the bottom. Each was opposite each other & where attached to the rocket in such a way, that the configuration was never quite the same, yet it was what you could call ‘symetrical’. But as the rocket reached it’s highest point, it began to turn onto it’s sides, and the ‘wings’ began to work, those wings worked like parachutes for the thing, & put it at an angle so that it even ‘glided’ in away! Unfortunately for someone in my class, straight into their face xD Yet despite this slight time penalty, I WON!!!!!! Andrews was very proud & intrigued by my small rocket & asked to take it back to the ‘big school’ to show around there, yet promised to bring it back. Another good part was, my rocket held the record for all the schools he visited! This was the rocket which created & forever will hold & treasure the name, Palmerageddon. Infact, I’ve still go the rocket some where xD If I can find it, I’ll take a picture & post it, mind you it is a bit old & so is a bit floppy, but it still brings back those fond memories. -Palmer

    @palmergeddon did the rocket hit you!?

    Ironic
