Competition Ended!
I am updating this top post for best visibility, Everything under the Horizontal Rule is unedited, I created and moved this topic into a competitions forum (Re-named BOTM).
Our first competition ended with a bang on a three way tie! You can view the ended poll over on the polls page.
As you can clearly see Buccaneer won, But it didn’t win the rank name, why? Because I don’t like it, I shouldn’t have added this in the first place! Blame me! The ranks Sailor and Buccaneer are way to close, basically the same rank, I was looking for a rank name that would be half the skill of a sailor.
Which leaves us with our three way tie between Cadet, Matey and Navigator, I loved every single entry and am considering adding more ranks in at a later date, the winner of new rank goes to Cadet! This was a universal decision between all PirateCraft staff & founding father.Now to the prizes! I said the winner of the poll would win a prize, so they will and so will all the top three tied names, so using first come first serve basis of entry on the competition forum thread, we have:
- CrazyPirate1 with Buccaneer
- Markusi13 with Navigator
- shiphoo with Matey
- SuperGL with Cadet
You will pick your prizes up from GodsDead at The Cove Deed office.
So as you all know there is a giant gap between Deckhand to Sailor, Sailor in mine and reapers eye’s is a dedicated player that earns those permissions, but the gap is too big! I want to add something in between Deckhand and Sailor, that earns them a badge at around 10-12 hours gameplay, a server wide message and a few goodies gifted.
Its no walk in the park adding a new rank, but I think we need to close the gap a touch, The rank title needs to fit in with the ranking roles we have already, so it would be a low down pirate themed name we are looking for, Submit your ideas in one reply to this thread, I will put all the ideas I like into a poll for people to vote on. The winner gets this rank name implemented into the game and a custom-colour tagged item, Im thinking a diamond sword at present (open to ideas).
GodsDead’s entry:
- Lookout – A pirate that sits in the Crow’s Nest – A lookout point at the top of the highest mast of a ship.

April 13, 2014 at 6:25 pm #2237I’m thinkin Crew member. Though deckhand is already a crew member. Maybe Merchant?
Maybe this rank can be the cannon firing one!
April 13, 2014 at 6:27 pm #2238Whoops. Forgot my entry. My entry is maybe.. Matey?
Yep Matey
April 14, 2014 at 6:36 am #2239Instead of Cook I think Fisherman is better.
People won’t be able to get food instantly, which is better (I think)… As reward you could give him an enchanted fishing rod and something else, maybe a few pieces of rotten flesh calling it ‘Bait’.
April 14, 2014 at 8:24 pm #2240Maybe upon receiving this new rank, playerscredible more/a few claimblocks, and maybE something like a /kit logs, for 4 logs – equivalent of a crafting table and a small house of 12 wooden planks.
April 16, 2014 at 12:57 am #2241Sailmaker- Incharge of maintaining sails of ships
Surgeon- Like a Doctor treats fevers and colds etc
Lucky you will be missed 🙁
April 17, 2014 at 4:29 pm #2244I like Merchant.
What about look out or Crows Nest, anyone think of a nice glamorous pirate name for that?

PansyApril 17, 2014 at 5:57 pm #2247All entries need to be in Tomorrow (18th April 2014) by 5pm GMT, Then I will make a shortlist of names that Me, Reaper and SuperGL like, and put that into the final poll.
Entries are infinite since we will shortlist what we like 🙂
April 17, 2014 at 6:55 pm #2248How about this Navigator or Musicians
April 17, 2014 at 8:10 pm #2250First mate, second mate, cabin boy, quartermaster, able hand, striker, sea artist-navigator, ensign, crewman, powder monkey, pilot.
April 17, 2014 at 8:11 pm #2251i think bard would be a better name for musician. Navigator could work though
April 17, 2014 at 8:14 pm #2253Deck Cadet maybe?
April 17, 2014 at 9:42 pm #2255i like cadet best!
