Thru an unexpected case of betrayal, our former ship, Da Pirates, was decommissioned somewhere off the coast of Seattle and lays in ruins.

An ingenious heist, perpetuated by our most senior operatives, enabled us to commandeer the vessel, Dem Pirates, and hoist our new flag... The christening took place near the Galapagos Islands as is evidenced by the charred endangered species carcasses and empty beer cans strewn upon its shores.

Although this machine of war is complete with nuclear n' submersible capabilities, we prefer to use terms such as "steam" and "sail" when setting course to maraud your respective team and families...

All Pirates n' Piratesses' (formerly known as wenches) shall be subject to random breathalyzer testing and adhere to the following standard: A blood alcohol content (BAC) of .34 must be maintained at any given time.

Age of consent and legal drinking age shall be set at sixteen (16) years of age...
*Subject to reductions during the eves of any given holiday.

We categorically deny all charges of steroid usage... We condemn such behavior and would like to remind the community at large, that we are the most tested team on Gameknot and have yet to indicate positive results in our labs. (*GK does not verify this information nor do they acknowledge our rightful existence as a sovereign team.)

** As of current date, we do not know the meaning of "sovereign," nor have we 'googled' it for clarification...

Pirate Law:

1.) All of Dem Pirates shall be treated with equal consideration at all times.

2.) Time outs shall not be tolerated... Anyone conducting in such mutinous behavior shall be branded with the "mark o' shame" and cast off to the online chess abyss.

3.) Being a fan of Ashton Kutcher and/or liking Poodles is grounds for immediate termination and taunting.

*Other than compliance with the above, it's all good here.

-If yer a person of character, have a strong sense of decency, yet are somehow prone to degenerate thinking/behavior, this may just be the team for you...

...There's only one thing left to say...

"How 'bout Dem Pirates!"

-We exchange prisoners for yer women only...
