Additionally, we will host our own events, open to crew members and those who wish they were crew members. These shall consist of pub crawls, parties and other social gatherings.

In addition to social events, the  Harbinger will be a vehicle for giving back to the community.  Harbinger and her crew will participate in various charitable events throughout the year with organizations such as The Shriners Children's Hospital and Toys 4 Tots.

That puts us currently at a crew of 18, six guns and in the top 25 of all ships at sea. We have commitments to sign 10 more in the next month or so to put us in the top 10 and gain 10 guns. All of our founding members will be receiving a special designation as well!

I will be speaking with more of you today who have expressed interest. One note, we cleaned the International Guild of Royal Privateers out of guild pins yesterday with all of the sing ups (NICE WORK me HEARTIES!!!). So, remember, it takes 6-8 weeks for them to hand cast those pins. Please PM me if you are at all interested in joining the crew of the Harbinger.

We want everyone on board and with pins for John Leveque so we need to get them ordered ASAP!

Our first social event will be announced soon! As always everyone is welcome to attend.

Take what ye can and bring the rum with ye!

1) you have a TBD next to your position and you have an idea of what position you would like

2) You have any ideas of folks to recruit

3)You have any idea where Seamus hid the rum?

I am thinking that the first "official" event may be piggybacked on the Scurvy Awareness Party! I would love to have our articles ready for the crew to sign and have our colors flying above the event!

[Jade Sapphire Emerald]

I'm going to try and have garb ready for Scurvy Awareness Day...I should be able to devote all free time the final three or four days before hand because I'll be done with school...but I may not. ...

And you may want to look in the new cannons for the rum...He might have hid some there...Or perhaps in the still folded up sails...

[Seamus Ex Machina]

Welcome aboard, mateys!  That was one damn fine muster......must be the economy with all these new hands....

Latest Flag design by our very own Graphic Artist, David French

[Jade Sapphire Emerald]

OO! I'm liking that flag...but the omega is still abit much....

[Squire Mickey]

OO! I'm liking that flag...but the omega is still abit much....

The Omega is the sign of the Harbinger of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the book of Revelation.

Jade, and all the Harbinger crew, out of respect for the R/F forum lets keep our crew chatter to the Harbinger Space that has been set up. That way all our comments are in one place and these land lubbers need not be troubled!

*gives a wink and slips the lass the flask*
