Flags
Flags are groups of crews that join together. Flags are the groups that go to war and form alliances, not the individual crews. There are three "ranks" in flags:
- Monarchs When a flag is created, the creator is automatically made the monarch of the flag. Monarchs can propose to appoint another player in the flag to be monarch. Every flag can have a maximum of one monarch at any given moment. They can propose alliances, truces, and wars, but these have to be voted on by the royalty. The only power that separates a monarch from a regular royalty member is that monarchs can change the flag's information. There can be flags with no monarchs.
- Royalty are the second highest flag rank. They are voted in by all the current royalty and monarch and have the same privileges as monarchs although there is no limit to the number of them in a given flag.
- Titled members have no special privileges at all but is normally given to the most well known and trusted members of the flag.
Monarch are given the title "King" or "Queen", royalty are titled "Prince" or "Princess", and titled members either "Lord" or "Lady".
When a flag proposes an alliance, truce, or war, it is voted on by the monarch and royalty. The monarch and royalty are also the only people who can propose problems for voting.
In order to start a flag, a crew must have an Established or higher fame and a person must have both a captain's badge and 20 doubloons on doubloon oceans or be subscribed on subscriber oceans.

Famous quotes containing the word flags:
“Gentlemen, those confederate flags and our national standard are what has made this union great. In what other country could a man who fought against you be permitted to serve as judge over you, be permitted to run for reelection and bespeak your suffrage on Tuesday next at the poles.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
“The flags are natures newly found.
Rifles grow sharper on the sight.
There is a rumble of autumnal marching,
From which no soft sleeve relieves us.
Fate is the present desperado.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats ... these are the facts.”
—Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)
