“Simple! Not over the top! Keep it simple!”

As the quote above says, my recommendation is simple. Have a sign before the overhang/cliff saying “read the rules” and then past that sign, we would have simple tutorials on claiming (soft and hard blocks), ships, cannons, and gates/bridges. At the end, there can be a simple explanation of the ranking system and how to rank up. Players don’t want to come to a server and have to read all these complicated rules and tutorials, they will skip it if it’s too complicated. Normally, players are attracted to this server because of the ships and cannons, so it should be the “spotlight on the stage.” We can say that there is an eco and /warp shops, I just don’t think deckhands starting out need to know all of these facts about the sell signs/buy signs. Also, we can mention we have Discord/TeamSpeak/Forums, and tell them the commands if they are interested. For @Cysteen , I don’t think deckhands need to really know how to post screenshots (It would be helpful to the staff) but too complicated for a simple tutorial.

The theme would obviously be a ruined town, with the cannons, gates, and bridges area being a broken down tower.
