== The Need for Good Roads ==
Too many poor souls enter this realm completely lost and bewildered. Whether they are newly-arrived Outsiders or youngling Natives, their common problem is an inability to get where they want to go. A few enterprising people have seen fit to begin constructing roads between major villages; often these are used as routes to direct others to sites of pillage and death.

If the isle of Shartak is ever to see the dawn of civilization, we must build and maintain high-quality roads linking all the major cultural and scenic sites. These roads must conform to a well-publicized standard so that new arrivals can easily use them. Missionaries, native shamans, hunters, explorers, and many others will benefit from clearly-demarcated paths through the wild.

== Our Mission ==
This will be an arduous task. In the CHS's observations, one individual can clear a maximum of 3 squares per day while still killing animals to advance (while of course those who either don't desire material reward or have already maxed out their skills can devote all of a day's labor to clearing roads, averaging something more like 7-8 squares per day). Our mission, then, is three-fold:

# identify sites in need of quality transportation
# build, maintain, and if possible patrol roads linking the identified sites
# recruit new members to our cause

The above list should serve as a prioritized list of activities; it does no good to build roads willy-nilly if no one will use them, and if we are not building roads, what use are new recruits?

We must strive to maintain the highest quality of building standards; please see the section below marked [[#Road Standards|Road Standards]] for the current regulations.

Note well: we are committed to equal-opportunity access to both highway construction and use. Natives, Outsiders, and pirates are all equally welcome to join the clan, build roads, and travel freely (without threat of harm). In times of warfare, CHS members are encouraged not to take sides and to punish any acts of violence perpetrated along CHS-affiliated highways.

== Highway Network ==

[[Image:Highway-map.png]]

Highways are listed in the following format:

'''''Name or Identifier''''' (''primary direction of travel'') - ''general location of road''

=== Completed CHS Routes ===
* '''Southern Coastal Boulevard''' (E-W, NW-SE) - leads due east out of Durham along the southwestern peninsula's coast, turning southeast at the base of the peninsula and then east again upon reaching York's line of latitude and continuing into York proper.

=== Non-CHS Highways Already Under Construction ===
The following highways are currently under construction, although not necessarily by CHS affiliates. Therefore, our standards on neutrality may not apply. They are listed here because incorporating them into our design '''significantly''' decreases the amount of work we have to do.

* '''Dalpok-Shipwreck Highway''' (NW-SE) - northwestern island
* '''York-Mountain Highway''' (N-S, NW-SE) - central island, west of the river
* '''Raktam Southbound Highway''' (N-S) - headed south from Raktam, east of the river (peters out north of the coast)
* '''Wiksik-Derby Highway''' (E-W, N-S) - heads east out of Wiksik; turns south near a sandy area and runs to Derby
* '''York-Derby Jungle Trail''' (?) - scratched out of the land by a semi-unaffiliated individual; this one intentionally doesn't conform to CHS standards as it is an experiment in lower-maintenance-cost roads

=== Proposed Primary Routes ===
These are roads which would immediately provide transportation benefits and should be built first.

* '''Mountain Loop Highway''' (roughly circular) - surrounds the central mountain, with Dalpok and Raktam located on its circumference.
** Recommend building the southern half first, with the northern half to be considered a secondary or alternate route
* '''Wiksik Artery''' (E-W) - exits Wiksik to the west and ends at the '''Mountain Loop Highway'''/'''Raktam Southbound Highway'''.

=== Proposed Secondary Routes ===
These are roads which would provide secondary, scenic, or otherwise non-essential transportation capabilities. The above primary routes have priority over these.

* '''Shipwreck Shortcut''' (E-W) - extends west from the northern rim of the '''Mountain Loop Highway''' and terminates at the '''Dalpok-Shipwreck Highway'''
* '''Dalpok-Durham Connector''' (NE-SW) - runs southwest out of Dalpok and terminates at '''Southern Coastal Boulevard'''
* '''Derby Direct''' (E-W) - shortcut route between York and Derby, runs east from '''York-Mountain Highway''' to '''Wiksik-Derby Highway'''
* '''Wiksik Spur''' (N-S) - connects '''Derby Direct''' to Wiksik (this way, the Society has a connection from Wiksik to Derby in the event that the [non-CHS] '''Wiksik-Derby Highway''' ceases to be viable)
* '''Jack Spalding Highway''' (?-?) - exploration and mapping of the tunnel under the mountain; one mouth of the tunnel lies at [-70.368,+26.442] (not on the map above)

== Road Standards ==

=== Road Section ===
A CHS highway is made up of individual road sections. A road section is an area of jungle cut back to the bare topsoil and connected to other road sections. To minimize the effect of plant regrowth, highways should be two paces wide (thanks [[User:Sling484|Sling]]). Some of the secondary and spur roads might not warrant such painstaking construction, but it is never inappropriate.

=== Directness of Highways ===
A CHS highway should consist of a direct route between two points of interest, subject to variances where it would save a great deal of building and maintenance labor. Although mathematics tells us that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, it is unfeasible to expect to build straight-line roads around the landform features of the island and with such primitive equipment.

Therefore, roads should consist largely of north-south, east-west, and diagonal sections. Frequent turns or spurs should be avoided.

=== Signage ===
It is often useful for travellers to have some sense of the distance to the next point of interest. The most reliable way to sign a road is to build a [[signpost]]. These should be built directly in the road; it requires two pieces of driftwood per sign.

Signs should be placed in the following locations:
* At village boundaries, giving the distance to the closest 1-3 landmarks
* At forks or spurs in the road, indicating the direction and distance to the single closest landmark
* Every 50 paces at places where the last two digits of the GPS coordinate in the direction of travel is divisible by 50 (-70.200, -70.250, -70.300, etc.)

Signs should specify distances in units of ''paces''; these can be measured as a change in the thousanths digit of the GPS coordinate. Alternately, someone can simply travel the road, counting paces. These do not have to be exact; it can be difficult to determine where a particular feature or place begins.

If you cannot sign for the above, at least put a marker indicating the highway name.

=== Example Signage ===

You see a signpost that reads ''Sample Highway; Fakevillage 200E; Fakesettlement 360SW''

This sign lets you know you're walking on Sample Highway. It also indicates that ''Fakevillage'' lies 200 paces east and ''Fakesettlement'' lies 360 paces southwest. The direction should always indicate '''where to go from here'''; it may be the case that the road changes direction one or more times before reaching the endpoint.

==Introduction==
To the newly arrived and the longly settled alike:

You have come to this brave new world seeking your fortune, your adventure, or just your livelihood, and one can think of no braver undertaking than to conquor this uncharted wilderness. But with it comes the promise of fortunes great and exotic, as well as the need for items both mundane and essential. Where there is human civilization, there will always be trade, and to that, we aim to accomodate.

As of the day of March 28th of the 1906th year of our Lord and onward, The South Shartak Trading Company has been established in the hopes of opening communications and commerce lines to all known settlements on the Island of Shartak. We facilitate in the movement of supplies from community to community in hopes making our own fortune and bettering the lives of all those on the island. I am already trying to dangerous trek from Shipwreck Beach (the home of the pirates) via Derby, then York, for trade of their valuable rums and much sought after cutlasses. Someday I hope to establish other routes to and from Shipwreck Beach, and even create trading routes between the villages of the natives and the outsiders.

This enterprise is dangerous, but it does have alot of potential. Whom among you are brave enough to challenge the jungles and bring civilization forth?

Then contact The South Shartak Trading Company. You may even choose your own trade route to take (at your own risk of course). There are even no deadlines... make your own pace, but since you are in it for your profit as well as the company, it is hoped that your pace will be encouraged as such. And since we know well the dangers of the jungles, know that any nearby traders of The South Shartak Trading Company will be glad to assist.

Sign up to become a member, and go out there to strike out your fortune!

==Mission==
Our mission is to send valuables from one village to the other, valuables that are normally inaccessible to the people therein. For the natives, that means our firearms, ammunition, alcohol, and our much coveted GPS units. The pirates have expressed their interests in widening their palate with samples of Shartak brewed beer and the use of first aid kits, while villagers thirst for exotic native wares and weapons, as well as pirate cutlasses and Salty Bob's Pirate Rum.

It is our job to make sure these items get to these people, by finding them, then travelling to these villages and dropping them off to their trading huts.

==Organization==
Jack W Spalding is the Founder and CEO of The South Shartak Trading Company. A vice president and chief financial officer has yet to be elected.

==Members==

==Organizations in Good Stead==

These are the following groups that I consider good friends of The South Shartak Trading Company:

The [[Civilized Highway Society]] for their contribution to Shartak's road and trade network. For their colossal efforts, any member of The South Shartak Trading Company is authorized to aide this organization in any way it can. That includes mapping information and road construction.

The [[Colonial Police]] for trying to keep the peace in York. I hope they soon expand to the other villages. It's getting rough out there, so give them your support.

==Our Code of Conduct==
We have a few simple rules to live by:

# Natives, outsiders and pirates are to be treated equally. They are all business partners to us, and therefore must be regarded with impartiality.
# Do not go attacking other people unless provoked. For example, if you are an outsider that spots a native, do not proceed to take its life. But if it attacks you, the company authorizes you to use lethal force.
# Shamans are our friends. Leave them be.
# Traders are essential to business. Leave them be.
# Do not try to embroil The South Shartak Trading Company into any trade wars by provoking any responses from hostile parties. We do not start wars, only finish them. So lets not try to start another Opium War, ok?

==WANTED!==

Necklaces of any type, shape or form! Again, mention town and price.

Heavy swords, for those willing to sell or trade. Negotiations can be done on our discussion page.

The trader's huts are always looking for goods. GPS's, driftwood, boozes, weapons, anything useful. Drop them off at your local trader's hut.

==Most Wanted List==

The Most Wanted List has been reset! Congratulations to those under our list! From here on in, it is suggested that all traders of the SSTC report any deaths to the discussion page, or to the Colonial Police, which are better equipped to handle these situations. However, it doesn't mean that people can attack SSTC merchants freely. All merchants are heavily armed and are authorized to attack any hostiles to protect themselves and their goods.

==OOC Policy==
It is asked that only members of The South Shartak Trading Company are allowed to edit this page, and anyone outside of this group doing so shall and will be accused of Wiki sabotage. Thank you.

'''The WickSick Headhunters''' are an informal associaton of natives who practice the almost-forgotten art of headhunting. The passion for headhunting usually runs deep in your soul. When someone discovers this passion and acts upon it he is said to have gone 'wicksick'. Being 'wicksick' and the village of Wiksik are to each other as 'Stockholm Syndrome' is to the city of Stockholm. All over Shartak island natives, outsiders and pirates can, and do, go wicksick.

'''The WickSick Headhunters''' have lots of secret (and some not so secret) rituals but our gatherings mainly involve headhunting and bragging about headhunting. Other favourite pastimes include discussions on the best way to keep our trophies from rotting and drinking magnificent brown liquid pilfered from dead outsiders.

'''Our rules are simple:'''

* Give the last blow with the machete as poison darts do not sever heads.
* If you want to go wicksick, please do so with only one Shartak character.

=[http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/The_Secret_History_of_Captain_Tyler_Whitney The Secret History of Captain Tyler Whitney]=

It was during a partial lunar eclipse several months ago that the Captain entered one of his "fits" of stumbling delerium. Most likely brought on by a batch of particularly foul York-town rum. And as any resident of Shartak knows, the only rum worth drinking is either Derbyman Blue or the Shipwreck's own Wild Strumpet 301 Proof Rum. A chemical and mathematical paradox of deliciousness! It was in this period, while the Captain was wandering the jungle, shouting at ferns and drinking elephant milk, that the long neglected ship's log of the Hell-Born Stumpet was found in the Large Cabin. This log will know doubt become an invaluable resource for all residents of the island in decyphering the Crew's bizarre origins and motives. The first installment to be taken out of the water in the Cabin, transcribed, and reproduced here is a record of the Captain's life before the Strumpet wrecked on Shartak.

=A Gentleman's Wager=

It appears that recently a member of the Scurvy Crew has had a beef and has started hunting a member of the Jolly Roger Gang. Rather than let this encourage more violence between the crews the Captains have decided to let them settle it between themselves. The recent decision to start placing bets on who wins and the possible profits of such had absolutely nothing to do with the Captains' judgement in this case.

That being said, '''PLACE YOUR BETS! PLACE YOUR BETS RIGHT HEAH!!!'''

*Captain Michael Edwards: 7 on the Roger boy to win
*Captain Tyler Whitney: 5 gold on Mr. Xintlaer to win, with a side bet of six gold that he gets lucky and lands two 5-damage swings of the cutlass in the process.
*Captain Dan wages '''30 golden coins''' on Xintlaer to beat this here Roger boy! Note, this be a private bet. Anyone wish to risk 30 coins on that Zom-VLD will beat our boy?
*Rozen, JRG's PKer slayer, wagers 5 on Zom, with a side bet of 5, on the fight ending with the winner (whoever it be) on lower than 15 HP.
*Zom-VLD, JRG's treasurer - 30 gold to whoever wins (challenge bet)
*Xintlaer, Strumpet's boatswain - 30 to the winner too.
*Master Dan jun Perls: Me thinks the mate called Xintlaer has better odds. 50 gold coins on Xintlaer.
As it appears Mr. Xintlaer and the Jolly Roger's treasurer are the offending parties they are encouraged to approach the beach adjacent to the shipwreck on Friday (exact time to be determined) when the match will begin.

'''The Gentleman's wager (while a most excellent plan in theory) collapsed in practice as nearby ghosts harrassed fighters, gamblers, and spectators alike. After several tries, a change in venue, and postponments the endeavor was abandoned. Perhaps to be attempted again at a later date.'''

=Vendetta!=

Over the past few months the Scurvy Crew and other Pirates have become increasingly aware of Outsiders directing violence at their Pirate cousins.

[[ image:Tableau-barbenoire.jpg ]]

(Unidentified members of the Scurvy Crew and Anti-Pirates engage in battle at the Hell-born Strumpet's Wreck).

For some reason nearly all the clans that have made slaying Pirates their mandate are based out of York. To determine the actual situation the Captain went on a goodwill tour to the Yorkmen's camp. Believing that it was bad manners for a visitor to arrive at a neighbor's empty-handed Captain Whitney brought a bag filled 43 bottles of rum (one for every member of the Crew), and several cutlasses with which to impress the locals. By the time he arrived in York only half a bottle of rum was left, and this was soon thrown at a nearby wild boar. After announcing his presence and intentions at the local Colonial Police station the Captain decided to hit the town. There he saw a pub and several huts in which Outsiders and Natives cohabited peacefully and in which Captain Whitney was welcomed with opened arms and bottles. Such civility between Outsiders and Natives seemed unnatural to the Captain, but he was determined not to offend his hosts, especially while they were picking up this round.

It was during his second night of carousing with the locals that the Captain was assaulted by his first Anti-Pirate. It was one of the same Yorkmen who had been harrassing the Strumpet's Wreck and any other pirates they happened across.

With what he now knew about the population of York, and its Anti-Pirate minority the Captain is convinced that a declaration of Vendetta is in order. The Captain declares Vendetta as approved murdering of one or more clans rather than the indiscriminate targeting of a village as in a Raid. While individual members of these clans have whispered their belief that their machetes might abstain from Scurvy Crew blood (due to the Crew's general policy of non-violence towards other Outsiders) their actions speak differently. The Scurvy Crew cannot also stand by while other Pirates are slain simply for loving rum and brawling more than the island's more timid elements. The Crew be hereby ordered to sink their daggers and cutlasses into members of the following clans wherever they be found:

*[http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/The_Pirate_Hunters The Pirate Hunters]: Goes without saying...
*[http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/York_Pirate_Slayers York Pirate Slayers]: Same as above...
*[http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/Order_of_Patriots The Order of Patriots]: It at first appeared the Order's mandate be only the defense of citizens of York and not indiscriminate pirate-hunting. This led the Captain to propose Parley with the Order. The Captain's offer of Parley [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/Talk:Order_of_Patriots#PARLEY.21.21 was soundly rejected] and they have made it clear through their words and actions that their goal is the complete obliteration of Pirates from the island. They should be considered as no better than the rumless Natives...

A member of one of the clans mentioned above recently approached the Captain in York and asked for a temporary ceasefire. It seems someone has contracted the Mercenary's Guild to attack the same clans the Scurvy Crew has now declared Vendetta against. This was done before the start of the Captain's goodwill tour of the Yorkmen's camp.

The Captain sees no reason to declare a ceasefire. Why should we, your targets since your clans' inception be moved to restraint now when you have demonstrated none towards us in the past? Are Pirates supposed to pity you now that you are seeing the result of your months of indiscriminate violence towards us? Why should we sheath our cutlasses and wait for your machetes to be sunk into our backs at your convenience? No, many strange and evil things dwell in the hearts of pirates, but mercy isn't one of them.

=New Tortuga Has Been Achieved=

'''At the conclusion of negotiations with various other outsider groups the island that the Scurvy Crew calls New Tortuga has been declared a nonaggression zone. The Captain protected the Scurvy Crew's right to behave like violent, drunken villians throughout the lengthy parley. This natural right has been reinforced (so long as no outsiders are harmed on the island or within its shallow waters). What follows below is the original account of the Captain's spiritual awakening and call to New Tortuga:'''

The Wiksik Raid was hard fighting, no denying that. Those members of the crew who braved the jungle, ill-educated anti-pirate outsiders, native beasts, and savage natives, found themselves several days travel away from their home shaman. The glory and rum won by our cutlasses was that much sweeter with the struggle.

[[ image:42699438_5b6c0cc023.jpg ]]

(Derbymen, unaligned Pirates, and members of The Scurvy Crew battle through the island's natives to assault the shaman of Wiksik.)

Many Pirates and Outsiders died in the Wicksick raid. The Captain himself greeted his pirate brethren in the afterlife. It was in this shadow realm that the Captain witnessed the Giant Bottle of Rum.

"Behold your better," said the Bottle of Rum, "And Despair..."

And the Captain of The Scurvy Crew beheld the Giant Bottle of Rum. "Truly I both love and fear you O' Giant Bottle of Rum, but what of my Pirate brothers and sisters? We have been scattered across the island" he said. "We are hunted for our heads by rumless savages. Where can we go to celebrate our bloody plunder and drain the island of rum?"

And yay the Giant Bottle of Rum looked upon the Scurvy Crew in their toils in Wiksik and said, "Know that I have created an island for ye who hunger, and thirst for drunkeness, and it is not the island you stand on. It is the island west of Shartak, and as ye pirates (the beloved children of the Giant Bottle of Rum) love inebriation, so shall you find rum on this island. And it shall be named [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortuga "New Tortuga"].

And the Captain understood The Giant Bottle of Rum, and knew its purpose for the Scurvy Crew. All Crewmembers be hereby ordered to flood the large, horizontal island west of the greater island of Shartak. This island, south of the Strumpet's wreck and west of the Native village of Dalpok, shall be known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortuga "New Tortuga"]. New Tortuga shall henceforth be known as a private gaming preserve for outsiders in general, but pirates especially, and especially The Scurvy Crew of the Hell-born Strumpet.

=Bloody Dalpok!=

It was in the midst of a late afternoon apertif of 3 liters of Derby Rum that a sharpening stone was dropped in the Captain's lap by a particularly ugly monkey.

"Goddamit Monkey!" the Captain said. "That's the fifth time ye interrupted my pouring!"

The Captain then proceeded to waste three days of his life hunting the particularly ugly monkey through jungle, ruins, and shipwreck. He finally cornered it in the Strumpet's Crow's Nest (that sounds a bit racy doesn't it? Nevermind!). After the long pursuit, and being a bit peckish, the Captain ate the monkey.

[[ Image:Monkey2.jpg ]]

Sources believe this to be the monkey in its natural habitat, and before the Captain ate it.

It was only when he got to the tail that he noticed a missive tied to it with a green ribbon. Picking his teeth with a monkey rib the Captain sat down to read the message with an after-supper pint of rum. It read:

"Ahoy Captain! My Gang of pirates has planned a raid on dalpok. We have a large deal of pirates marching on Dalpok next week,I would like to invite any of your crew members who might be around to partake in the pillage.--Michael edwards 00:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)"

"Four Cannon's A-Blazing!" exclaimed the Captain with what he believed to be a pirate expression (it was not, in fact no pirate until him had '''ever''' said those words). "There are other pirates on the island besides my beloved Scurvy Crew?" The Captain then sat down and spent the rest of the day drinking and thinking about the implications of this discovery.

The Captain awoke the next morning to hear a ghost whispering in his ear. Shooting up ramrod straight the Captain climbed up Crow's Nest once more, and pulled from his pocket a whistle made of Native bones. Taking a deep breath the Captain then blew on the whistle, but no sound was heard. In fact, the dozens of pirates around the Strumpet's wreck (who the Captain had been too drunk or insane to notice until a day ago) were completely oblivious to the tiny figure at the top of the Crow's Nest, playing a whistle with all his formidable might. But across Shartak, in jungles and mountains, villages and grasslands, buried in swamps and floating in water, specially trained sets of ears heard a faint ringing.

"My Beloved Scruvy Crew of the Hell-Born Strumpet!" bellowed Captain Tyler Whitney from the Crow's Nest, "Blood's being spilled in a Native Village and we're not the cause of it! All crewmembers be ordered to join our pirate brothers in flooding the dirt paths of Dalpok with blood! BYOB!"

== The Royal Expedition ==

Mr Dan here. I cannot stop ye or order ye to do anything, but for Christ Sake, PLEASE DON'T ATTACK ANY ROYAL EXPEDITION MEMBERS!!! I've spent a fair while negotiating with them not to attack us. We do not need a war. For more details, look at their talk page. '''Captain Dan'''

== Pirates be expert cartographers ==

There has been talk of pirates scouring the mountain for buried treasure, and the Captain has seen Mr. Wifey in one of the tunnels. To help with navigation here be the first map of paths under the mountain yet produced.

[[ Image: Dr_j_tunnel1.png ]]

Thanks go to Dr J for his spelunking.

== Mr. Badhammer! ==

The Case of Mr. Badhammer has been moved to the discussion page in lieu of a dedicated history page to come later (once there's enough history to justify its existence). Any who wish to read about the first application of nautical justice in the island's history may find it there.

Your unknowingly disgraceful conduct embarrased the crew in the past (if it is indeed possible to disgrace persons such as we). You have, however, performed your duties admirably these past few months, and remained steadfastly loyal to the crew even during your demotion to Able Bodied Seaman. Your continued service to the crew in these conditions points to the high quality of your character. In light of your lengthy service, and the good conduct that was named as a necessity for your continued presence among the crew, your case is hereby dismissed. Ye be now reinstated to your former position as Quartermaster of the Scurvy Crew of the Hell-Born Strumpet. Congratulations, Quartermaster Badhammer! The crew lifts its flagons to you. You can drink at my table anytime. YAAHRRGH!! [[User:Tyler Whitney|Tyler Whitney]] 04:37, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

== As the man said: ==

"The average man will bristle if you say his father was dishonest, but he will brag a little if he discovers that his great-grandfather was a pirate."

[[ Image:Flynn.jpg ]]

== Native Guide ==

The Crew of the Hell-born Strumpet are looking for a native guide not only to translate and inform the crew of any hidden island booty, but also to be mocked and paid in small pox.

==ATTENTION!!! OFFICER ON DECK!!!==
ON YOUR FEET SCABS!!!
Ohh what a sorry excuse for a crew be ye...
Of course pirates fight amongst themselves, they drink and they whore and they act in a way totally un-becoming of a proper gentleman. THEY ARE PIRATES!!! On the other hand pirates are expected to keep their ship in repair and their duties in mind. Bless me if the cap’n were here he would have the lot of ya flogged. Lucky for you we are without a proper port and finding a half way decent crew would be like finding an able fighter in YORK!!! So all hands on deck, and be ready for presentation at three bells, Ships surgeon, ready the men for inspection, Captain Whitney wants them all fighting fit for trials ahead.

Sir Robert Cath, Sailing Master Of the Hell-born Strumpet

Aye-Aye, Sir! I tried to rally em ages past, but unresponsiveness drove me into a long sleep. Well I be back now, and I'll be damned if any Mangy Seadog will get past my eyes! Sure, I may be only 16 and a Surgeon, but I've done more fighting then the rest of ye put togather. So gather your cutlesses and put that God-Damn rum donw and meet me at the ships main deck for inspection from the Captain and all the other Blessed Officers that be leading us! I be back, and I be not taking any excuses! ''' Captain Dan, Ships Surgeon of the Hell Born Strumpet and proud of it!'''

I'm a JRGman, so I'm happy to see your wiki is back in activity, and I hope your crew follows! Come on lads, keep the pirates strong! [[User:Rozen|Rozen]]

==Operations==
===Shark Island===
[[Shark Island]] is a small island off the west coast of Shartak, and was claimed by {{profile|647|Morgan Freelance}} for the expedition on the 26th of February, 2006. The island is used as a base and staging post by the Expedition. However, the dastardly [[Discordian Cargo Cult]] also claim the island as theirs, and a bitter war rages across the island as a result of this. Although we remain in control of the island, this fighting nessecitates frequent patrols and skirmishes to maintain the influence of the Crown.

To avoid the escalation of hostilities and the destabilising effect this would have on the colonisation of Shartak, the two sides have agreed to confine the conflict to Shark Island, and not attack each other on the mainland.

Currently, negotiations regarding the future of Shark Island are underway. A no-violence zone has been established and clearly marked at [-70.547,+26.414], to allow foreign diplomats and ambassadors to stay on the island.

===Field Hospital===
The [[RE field hospital|Field Hospital]] in [[York]] offers free healing to all who need it, to aid the spread of civilisation across this dangerous and untamed land.

===Derby North Road===
The first road to be cleared on the island, the highway ran north from [[Derby]] and then turned west towards [[Wiksik]]. Forged by a small team of heroic Expeditionaries with the help of several civilians, the road reached Wiksik but then ground to a halt as the brave men came under attack from local headhunters. The maintenance of the road is now the responsibility of the [[Civilized Highway Society]], who have incoporated it into their island-wide road network as the Wiksik-Derby Highway.

== News ==
===October 2006===
'''14th''' - The Minister for Military Affairs has called for a full military intervention in York, to drive those mercs away from our allies in the Colonial Police. The mercenaries claim to have retreated, but we will remain vigilant in slaying any stragglers.

The hospital, as announced earlier in the month, is now considered sovereign territory and remains under the direct control of the expedition.

===August 2006===
'''26th''' - A no-violence zone has been set up on [[Shark Island]] at [-70.547,+26.414], to allow peacable negotiations between the Royal Expedition, the [[Discordian Cargo Cult]], and [[the Scurvy Crew of The Hell-born Strumpet]].

==Rules and Laws==
The following are bills that have been debated and voted on by the members of the expedition, and form the rules and guidelines by which the clan operates. All new bills must pass before the senate, so that the clan develops in a fully democratic fashion to reflect the desires of all our members.

===Bill 1===
'''Full Individual Membership in the Royal Expedition'''

* To join the clan, players must have an Outsider character (not including pirates)
* Members cannot be a member of any group which is in conflict with the Royal Expedition
* Members must swear not to kill other outsiders, except in self-defense, or on the orders of a Captain.
* Possesion of a Native account is acceptable as long as clause 1 and 2 are respected

This bill was proposed to the senate on the 4th May 2006, underwent two major revisions, and was passed on the 11th May 2006 by 4 votes to 0.

''Amendment 1''

* All prospective members of the Royal Expedition must be judged to be of Good Moral Character by the senate before their application is accepted.

This amendment was proposed to the senate on the 23rd July 2006 following a suspected plot to infiltrate the Expedition and thus capture [[Shark Island]]. The bill was passed on the 15th August 2006 by 6 votes to 0.

===Bill 2===
'''Identity Protection'''

''Please note that this bill was rejected by the Senate, and is recorded here simply for historical reasons.''

*Unless otherwise instructed, full members will have their names removed from the wiki list to protect their identities and not publicly publish our member list
*There will be a quick contact list on the wiki with the IMs of the foreign affairs and/or the public sercurity departments

This bill was proposed to the senate on the 11th May 2006, and was rejected on the 18th May 2006 by 3 votes to 1.

== The Shartak Society of Historians ==

Shartak is a strange game. There aren't any actual objectives. It is described as an MMORPG sandbox: the players decide their own aims, whether it be leading a crusade against the brutal outsiders, forming a government for one of the outsider towns, or getting into the top ten explorers list. However, it can take a while before you really get to grips with what's going on. At first you just see that bit of graffiti in a hut and haven't a clue as to what it's going on about. Did you know, for example, that Durham has recently been at war with Raktam, and held elections to find a Governor? Did you know York has seen off multiple invasions from Pirates, Natives and the Mercenary's Guild? Be in the dark no longer!

We believe that the true treasure in Shartak is the metagaming; the politics between and within towns, the history behind the towns and the players. The problem is that new players to Shartak don't know anything of the rich background to the island, and we hope to remedy that by providing an explanation on a subject of a player's choice, or giving them a brief run-down of the history of their town. With the all-new Clan Communication, this should hopefully be feasible.

== Requesting info ==

Since there is quite a hefty amount of history, and the exact timeline of much of the earlier events is a bit hazy, it's best to go through a few chunks at a time. If you want to know about any part of Shartak, go to the nearest Shartak Society of Historians hut and talk to the member inside.

}}

== The Healers of Shartak - Origin ==

The Healers are an old group that dates back years before the first outsiders came to Shartak. The native village of Dalpok, with its abundance of healing herbs, had always turned out talented healers. The knowledge of advanced healing techniques had been passed down from the ancestors to the numerous healer families of Dalpok, their duty - to tend to the injured and sick.
One year, a disease carried by bats and rodents swept through Shartak. Many people succumbed to fever and died. Dalpok was not effected seriously and, thanks to the many healers, those that were dying were soon nursed back to health. However, the disease inflicted heavy losses on the settlements of Wiksik and Raktam. The healers soon realised that the warlike but easygoing people of Wiksik and the peaceful and pround inhabitants of Raktam needed their help. Although these settlements had their own healers, the fever was too fierce for only a few healers to handle.
The elders of Dalpok insisted that the healer families stay in Dalpok and dismissed the severity of the fever in Wiksik and Raktam as the will of the ancestors. The healers went despite the protest of the elders. With the help of the healers, Wiksik and Raktam the disease only did minimal damage.
One year later, a raiding party from Wiksik attacked Dalpok, killing and wounding many people. The elders of Dalpok were furious at the healers for nursing the people of Wiksik back into health. They condemned the healers for helping their enemies and then they exiled many of the promenant healers.
The healers went from Dalpok to teach other natives their knowledge, swearing that they would heal anyone that needed it, regardless of their beliefs or allegience. Even people that were sworn enemies needed healing.
A decade later, the healers - now a group consisting of natives from all over the island - were allowed to return to Dalpok.

Many years later when the outsiders first came to Shartak, the healer's services were once again needed to attend to the victims of battle. The healers were quick to realise that these pale-skinned creatures were also human and their bodies worked in a similar way. The healers saw that these outsiders even had healers of their own and knowledge that they did not yet know of.

== Goal ==

In the present day the Healers of Shartak had not changed their ideal of healing anyone that needs it and welcomed any outisder that showed skill in healing into their group. The Healers of Shartak seek to establish themselves as an efficient group of healers throughout Shartak and heal outsiders, natives and even pirates if they need it.

== Requests ==

If there is a war, disease or other problem that requires the assistance of the Healers, we would be happy to help. An individual or group can request the aid of a healer or healers on the talk page or on the forum.

== The Healer's Code ==

*Heal almost anyone that needs healing '''DO NOT''' heal notorious murderers like {{profile|453|Armadox}}, {{profile|3039|Kamikui}} and {{profile|1259|Jessalyn}}
*Try to be a peaceful person. "Excessively violent" is not a good quality to have in the person who's supposed to be healing you.
*'''DO NOT''' attack other islanders except the likes of {{profile|453|Armadox}} this simply leads to more work. Only kill if another group you are in calls for it or your life depends on it.
*Make friends not enemies
*Treat your fellow islanders with respect
*'''Don't''' ask your patients for payment, do let them know that donations are welcome.

== Become a Healer ==

The Healers welcome anyone into their group that proves themselves to be a proficient healer. Members need to have an advanced medical knowledge to become a healer and require the following skills:
*Triage
*Natural medicine (Natives)
*First aid (Outsiders)

== Hospital locations ==

{{profile|944|Berenice van Buren}} - freakishly strong nurse from York

{{profile|6258|jajouka}} - You see nothing special.

Yesterday saw the opening of Holy Ancestors' Hospital in Wiksik.

The healers now support the IFF initiative

Despite the fact that y'all seem to be somewhere else and not really paying attention anymore, {{profile|10351|GIR}} is nonetheless very proud to inform y'all that he has finally achieved his ambition of having his name added to the list of [http://www.shartak.com/statextra.html Top Healers], first joining the list at no.20, now at no.17 and slowly but steadily working his way up. He expects many Cupcakes from y'all when he finally makes it to the very top.

With sprinkles, mind.

A good target for anyone in the group after being away for what seems to be almost a year maybe I will try and make my way up there to. --[[User:Dazedandconfused|Dazedandconfused]] 21:26, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

The Society for the Promotion of Independent Research on Interdimesnional Translations of Shartak (or S.P.I.R.I.T.S. for short) are a group of Outsiders and Natives interested in research on the spirit phenomenon. They move around Shartak trying to find any spirits and occasionally becoming one themselves. One point of interest is the fact that it is possible, after death, to be "revived" by native shaman (a phenomenon that has occurred frequently to the founder, [[User:MorkaisChosen|MorkaisChosen]]). This is one of the primary research points.

The clan has an agreement with the Colonial Police: we don't attack them and they protect us as humans.

Membership is open to all characters, but primarily scientists whose goal is to research these phenomena. Scouts, soldier bodyguards, and settlers interested are also welcome: just add your name to the list below.

If more members join, I'll make a forum for the members to discuss strategies, interesting discoveries and general stuff. [[User:MorkaisChosen|MorkaisChosen]] 16:54, 15 March 2006 (GMT)

10:24, 21 April 2006 (BST) Recently noticed that any shaman will revive any spirit, not just shamans captured by the explorers reviving them and native shaman reviving natives. [[User:MorkaisChosen|MorkaisChosen]]

15:32, 11 May 2006 (BST) I have developed an interesting ability while a Spirit in one of the native villages. I appear to be able to scare people to death! I haven't checked whether this works on animals, however. [[User:MorkaisChosen|MorkaisChosen]]

11:28, 28 May 2006 (BST) S.P.I.R.I.T.S. goes live! The clan is officially recognised on Shartak. Currently only open to non-Pirate outsiders.[[User:MorkaisChosen|MorkaisChosen]] 11:28, 28 May 2006 (BST)

NOTE: I'm using this talk page as a kind of research log (in character) type thing. If any member of the Society wants to join in, they can, as that's the whole point of the group...
I'll set up the clan on Shartak (the main game) as soon as I can get another 200 or so experience. I'm heading up to a native village... Wailing works!

I have managed in discorporal form to reach the town of York. I am near the shamen, but he does not seem to notice me nor is he trying to revive me. Either he is tired of reviving outsiders or he will not revive people from another village. I guess I must return home as soon as I am rested as I do not see any way of investigating right now.[[User:Darkferret|Darkferret]] 20:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

The most unusual thing happend to me while I was walking in the jungle. A log:
A spirit whispers “Hello there. Have a free paranormal experience.” (2006-09-04 19:14)
You hear a banshee wail coming from all around you, and lose 4 HP from fear. (2006-09-04 19:14)

A spirit whispers “Hope you enjoyed it.” (2006-09-04 19:15)
Did the ghost say that because it knew I could hear or that I am a member of SPIRITS or was it for its own entertainment? I am fortunate to have survived this fearsome encounter. Hopefully it won't happen again until I reach York.[[User:Darkferret|Darkferret]] 09:25, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

The animals are rising from the dead! After shooting down an alligator, it rose back up and nearly chomped me to death. Oh this Halloween appears to be very real on this island. [[User:Darkferret|Darkferret]] 00:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

What has always intrigued me about this Island is that only human ghosts have ever been observed. Do we have some evolved quality that distinguishes us from monkeys, dogs, traders, or parrots in a way that allows our minds to materialise ectoplasmicly after our deaths? What ever is behind this phenomenon is clearly getting stronger as this conflict rages on. --[[User:Darkferret|Darkferret]] 04:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

This is obviously based on the Groupbox design used on the Urban Dead wiki. I have made a few aesthetic modificiations (different color and different width for nested table). I have also re-organized the order of information so that '''leaders''' are listed before '''numbers'''. --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 21:37, 11 March 2006 (GMT)

Should the clan abbreviation be removed? It's not as necessary as the rest of the clan information. --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 01:08, 26 May 2006 (BST)
:Clan abbreviation has been removed. --18:18, 8 June 2006 (BST)

Should there be a link to the clan's ingame page provided somewhere on the template? If so, where? --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 18:18, 8 June 2006 (BST)

::I'm a tad late. But it seems some groups have fixed it. See [[Template:Clanbox_test]] I'd propose editing this template according to that one as them seem to function the same.--[[User:Mazu|Mazu]] 13:19, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I've updated [[Template:Clanbox_fix|Clanbox_fix]] to fix a number of issues, this uses the changes made by [[User:Crabbe|Crabbe]].

I've moved everyone from this template to [[Template:Clanbox_fix|Clanbox_fix]] as this one is protected.

[[Image:Midgar_Layout.png]]

=Non-Member Information=

==Introduction==

Shinra offers you a vision. Midgar, the floating city, built here on the island. Operated by players and inhabited by players.

We're here, and have been for some time, working on our surveys of the island. Looking for the ideal spot for our beloved Midgar to be built. Little under a month ago we found it and began construction in earnest. Already Midgar is taking shape and promises far more than myself and the board of directors anticipated.

What does Midgar offer you? I suppose that depends on what kind of person you are.

Currently our beautiful city is being marked out and constructed, there are plenty of opportunities to be had for those interested in something more than farming the med huts or home town pking.

For those interested in the construction itself we need harvesters to supply driftwood, clearance personnel to cut away the jungle and construction workers to create the signposts that will mark out our most glorious capital. The rewards are many; free health insurance, free machete sharpening and replacement services, free juice daily (when the cafeteria is completed), a constant supply of easy experience in a challenging environment.

For those more interested in killing things we offer competitive wages as well as first choice of weapon supplies and free health insurance. We operate two branches of security. One to kill all hostile wildlife in vicinity of midgar and another to hunt down anyone who kills a company employee.

For traders we will be offering an exchange service, to facilitate player-player trades, as well as protection and healing for any merchant registered with us while in the boundaries of Midgar. I need not mention that we will also be supplying heavy swords once the complex is complete, though we will only sell these to those trusted by our staff.

For players with a scientific bent we offer free health insurance to any scientist as well as access to specially cultivated jungle tiles and unrivalled access to the jungle's wildlife. Needless to say, the rewards are to be at the cutting edge of island science.

Healers will find us grateful, especially those who wish to become residents. For they will receive free healing supplies, with which to heal employees and residents, and let me assure you there are plenty of people to heal on a construction site infested with wild animals.

As if that were not enough, we will be offering wages based on the jobs taken up.

So come and join us in Midgar, to build a brighter future for the island, and for ourselves. --[[User:President Shinra|President Shinra]] 01:10, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

==Location==

Cult of the Sky-Blood

}}

The '''Cult of the Sky-Blood''' is a social-political group in the village of Rakmogak. Led by the old Tasty the Cannibal, The Elder Cannibal, the Cult of the Sky-Blood continues to provide guidance and counsel for the Rakmogaki population.

==The Elder Cannibal==
The Elder Cannibal is the head of the Cult and resides in the House of Dried Herbs, his frail health tended to by the teeming cannibal population. Only the wisest and most calm of Cannibals ever become Elder, due to the paternal nature of the position.

The Elder acts as a father figure to the Rakmogaki and provides advice on dealing with any particular situation, whether it is simple or great. The advice or the words of the Elder are not binding. The listener can choose to heed the words or discard and act in his own manner.

The wisdom of the Elder Cannibals are said to be very wise and moving. Some scholars of the outsider and native worlds have attempted to seek out Rakmogak's famed Elder Cannibals, though it is not known whether they have succeeded or failed because they did not return.

==Hierarchy of the Cult of the Sky-Blood==
*Elder Cannibal - [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=15873 Tasty the Cannibal] is the head of the Cult and the father-figure to all Rakmogaki.
**Elder Healer - [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=16070 Ash] is young by the norms of the Elders. He showed great skill in the arts of healing the frail Elder Cannibal. He is also the counselor to all Rakmogaki who wish to become doctors and surgeons for the ''greater good'' of Rakmogak and not necessarily Shartak.
**Elder Cook - [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=15875 Cannibal Cook] is the counselor to all Rakmogaki who want to become excellent chefs, skilled in the cuisine of Rakmogak.
**The Swords - By tradition, there are one to five at a time, but when times are difficult they are raised to five. They are the chief protectors of the Elders and are the Cult's Honor Guard, to guard the Cult's... honor.
***First Sword - [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=16043 Mingeater], the Commander of the Swords. He makes swift decisions regarding the honor of the Cult.
****Second Sword -
****Third Sword -
****Fourth Sword -
****Fifth Sword -

==Concerning Cannibals, Natives and Others==
It is frowned upon by Rakmogaki society to feast upon other Rakmogaki. The blood of Rakmogaki is sacred and must not be spilled by other Rakmogaki without proper justification.

The blood of the Mainland Natives are sweet and warm. It is considered normal to partake of their blood whenever possible. There are few exceptions to this, one of them being named Skull Face, who proved to be bitter and cold.

The blood of the Other Pale Two-Legs that inhabit the jungles to the south coast is said to be very delicious. Although unproven, we believe this to be true. A member of the cult must prove this soon.

==Ritual of Sky-Blood==
It is a tradition for every cannibal, before killing and feasting on mainlanders, to perform the Ritual. The first Elder Cannibal, whose name we do not know, created the Ritual just before he died. He was brutally attacked by a ferocious tiger on the mainland and it raised its claws to the sky and roared. It was in that moment that the Elder wrote down the ritual, inspired by the fury of the tiger.

Before beginning the attack, a Cannibal must first circle around his prey. Then and only then can one attack. Once the prey is wounded and dying, the Cannibal must raise his hands to the sky to draw the power to kill and unleash a loud roar to get his blood flowing as to absorb as much power as possible. Then can the mainlander be killed.

==Various Traditions and Other Things to Note==
*The appointing of Elders to replace a recently deceased Elder is to be done in the Rakmogak House of Dried Herbs or commonly known as the Healing Hut. There are different types of blood to be used for each of the four available positions.
**Elder Cannibal - Lion blood
**Elder Healer - Blood of a young tiger
**Elder Cook - Alligator Blood
**The Swords - Blood of a boar

*A special blood appointment was done for The Dark Hunter, we bathed him in the blood and entrails of several goats, as he was named the Lord of Rakgomak.

==Affiliates, Sponsors and Etc==
*[[The Rakmogaki Collective]] - They ensure the physical growth of the people of Rakmogak, while we ensure the spiritual and social growth.

==Elder Cannibal Wisdom==
*The high ground is easier to defend, and easier to attack from. The low ground, on the other hand, is often wet and full of mosquitoes.
*A full-house beats a flush. A sword beats a full-house.
*The greatest victory is when all their base are belong to you before you set them up the bomb.
*Losing a war is the surest path to defeat in war.
*Who's the more foolish: the fool, or the fool who follows him?
*If your enemy wins the battle, you did not.

The Durham Tea Party

clan_contact=Contact a member in-game|
sort_as=|
}}

==Background==
From the ashes of the highly regarded, but also widely yelled at, Durham Pistoleers rises The Durham Tea Party. A more hands on, less diplomatic approach to Durham. Keeping Durham free from outside influence and a nice to place to stay, with the use of tools like rifles, machetes and chucking tea into the sea.

==Politics==
The Durham Tea Party strongly oppose foreign control of Durham.

The Durham Tea Party is not in favor of strong government. Durhamites neither can nor should be controlled by leaders. We accept that a Govenor can be of use, but only one with limited power, and one elected in fair election.

The Durham Tea Party is against Durham joining The Commonwealth. Peace be with the towns and areas that has joined, it's just not for Durham.

The Durham Tea Party wows to fight against enemies of Durham.

The Durham Tea Party considers enemies of Durham legal targets, should they cross longitude [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/mapposgen.php?cx=-70550&cy=26000 -70.550], the official Durham Peninsula border.
* The list of enemies currently counts members of The 1st Militia and a small number of hostile natives.

==Organisation==
In the Durham spirit the orginasation of The Durham Tea Party is pretty loose. We are all individuals, and no one enjoys being told what to do all the time. We want the best for Durham, and all try to do our bit.

If you wish to join The Durham Tea Party and fight the good fight, please contact [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=102 Dennis Kuijt] in-game or on [http://forum.shartak.com/ the official forum]. The HQ is located [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/mapposgen.php?cx=-70653&cy=26341 here].

==Durham Undesirables==
As The Durham Tea Party steps up the vigilante action, the following people are now persona non grata in Durham:

== Clan description ==

Old and active members of Greenwolves! Do not fear the recent changes in the clan! We still have the code of honour and you can still be a member with no obligations.

Greenwolves are now devoted to gather supplies in times of need, and sell to gain gold, to buy more supplies. By digging holes and storing equipment in them, we have an emergency supply of ammunition, first aid kits and weapons in our beloved hometowns.
By trading we intend to exchange non-valuable equipment for bullets and armament.

Code:
1. No other Greenwolf shall be attacked
2. Store some goods underground.
3. Greenwolves aren't a shield against the law.
4. When in time of need, reveal your supply depots to the defenders. Of course you don't need to reveal all of them... ;)
---
We fully support the Eastern Federation, as Derby has become the new capital of Greenwolves.

== Clan history ==

None actually, because the scribes were too busy to start to write another clan history.
Well, we joined the Eastern Federation.

The Aztec Empire

Lord Jones: Clanbox fix

Tired of our precious island being overrun with outsiders? Tired of having to worry about some greedy pirate shooting you in your sleep? Then The Aztec Empire is the perfect clan for you! We're a new clan dedicated to retaking Shartak from intruders and, naturally, we are currently recruiting fellow natives to aid us in our worthy cause.

==A Brief History of The Aztec Empire ''(Not the one in your history book)'' ==
After being brought up in Raktam, Moctezuma wandered across Shartak in search of adventure and eventually settled on the west coast. During his time on the coast, he witnessed many of the first outsider landings in Shartak. As time passed he saw many atrocities commited by the outsiders as well and became one of the first natives to actively oppose outsider presence on Shartak. After giving multiple speeches regarding the evils of the outsiders' presence, he returned to Raktam upon being forced to leave the coast by native leaders allied with the outsiders. Not long after his return, he recieved a vision in which Huitzilopochtli instructed him to found a clan named The Aztec Empire to wage war on the outsiders. Moctezuma immediately did as Huitzilopochtli commanded and thus The Aztec Empire was created. Moctezuma is currently looking for new people to join the clan.

==Our Membership Requirements==
# No PKers will be allowed membership.
# Additionally, outsider sympathizers are not allowed either.
# As one may have guessed by now, this is a natives-only group.

''A brief side-note:'' Although Moctezuma himself resides in Raktam (when he's not out exploring), natives from other villages are more than welcome to join The Aztec Empire.

==Current Operations==
# None at the moment due to an insufficient number of clan members.

==Current Members==

==Updates==

==WE ARE THE BLOCKADE RUNNERS==

Nothing more, nothing less. Tis an honor to be a Blockade Runner.

I do not require active membership, but if some old goat is going to pay for the death of someone, please do take the time to cleanse that target of all life.

==The People Who Run Blockades==
*Chief Blockade Runner: [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=7121 Kutless55]
*CEO-Chief Exorcism Officer: Ghost Dog
*Envoy to Derby: G3N
*Public Relations: Lama

(told you we're just 4)

==What do we do?==
The members can do as they please, but it usually falls into vague categories.

1. Trade between villages. Since some villages are the only sources of some fine commodity, we make it a point to supply the rest of the island with it. Even though we are not welcome at some place, like supplying York with rum.

2. Exorcise our rights. Everyone has rights to free searching, and one of our prominent members make it a point to free the shipwreck of nasty blighters that chew on your guts, aka. spirits.

3. We can also assassinate some high profile target who is hiding in a major area or town. We can do it for a mere 10gc. Every member can be called upon to claim that target's head. And incase it is one of our members, we reserve the right to refuse it.

==Rules==
1. Do not kill the leader, unless he tells you to.

2. Do not kill your clanmates, unless they ask you to.

3. Do not kill yourself, unless you accidentally ate a poison berry on 2hp.

4. Do not kill anyone in the town where you are trading.

5. Kill only to defend yourself.

6. Haggling is something fun to do

7. Trekking is also enjoyable.

8. Crabs are useless.

Golden Rule: Wait for more rules.

==Why do we do what we do?==

Because no one does it. Simple and easy. Who would supply the precious cutlasses to the various villages? Who would supply gold to clans? It goes on. And who makes sure that noisy people stay quiet for at least a few hours? No one does. But now, we do.

==OTHER VARIOUS THINGS==
===how to place an assassination request?===
The talk page works just fine. Or maybe a pm in the various forums my more prominent alt goes to.
And, please note that we only accept payment by bank, so that we can claim it at various branches.

The Derby Protectors

active=yes
}}

== Origins ==
Arthur Lines was once an environmentalist in the [[SPF]], keeping his activities outside of any Outsider towns. His aim was to ward people away from the environmentally damaging roads, and this did involve the odd death. What is a the loss of a couple of short human lives compared to the loss of the ancient forests? He made sure he never killed anyone within a town's confines, aware of the law of each town, but when he was restocking his first aid kits in his hometown of Derby, the captain of the [[1st Derby Privateers]] accused him on murdering on Derby soil. Without giving Arthur the opportunity to explain his actions, he was attacked and killed. That would have been the end of it, but for the mysterious ways of Shartak. Arthur awoke months later and vowed to take the fight to the Privateers.

He began a campaign against the Privateers, slaying any he came across anywhere. At this point he was content with this single clan, slaying them with little loss in return, but then the [[Derby Hospitallers]] began attacking him too. It was this action which opened his eyes: Derby was being oppressed by the [[Eastern Federation]], which was made up of these two clans. They operated under the impression of a police force and social workers, but Arthur could now see through this illusion. He pledged himself to fighting this dictatorship to liberate Derby alongside any other Derbian who were not blinded by the Eastern Federation's lies and pretences, and so the Derby Protectors were born.

== Who are we? ==
The Derby Protectors are those Derbians who are sick of being oppressed by the Eastern Federation, who are willing to take up arms against its dictatorship.

== Why do we fight the Eastern Federation? ==
The Eastern Federation act under the pretence for wanting the best for Derby, yet they mercilessly suppress any who goes against its policies. Take the case of [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=4949 RobZombie], captain of the 1st Derby Privateers, who murdered ardent Protestant [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=Lutheran Lutheran] on no other basis than the Protestant's evangelistic intent. What were the consequences? Lutheran was placed on the Privateer's Kill On Sight list, undoubtedly causing his violent tendencies, and the Derby Court took Robzombie to trial. He was found Guilty, and given a minor punishment which lasted no longer than a few days.

It is this Derby Court which is the Federation's greatest lie. It is claimed to prove the Eastern Federation's supposedly unbiased system of murder, for the accused is judged by three judges. This sounds fair, does it not? Consider then that one judge must be a member of the [[1st Derby Privateers]], another must be a member of the [[Derby Hospitallers]], and the third a member of the [[Derby Rangers]]. All three clans combine to form the Eastern Federation. Should one refuse to submit to such an outrageous court system, they are automatically declared to be criminals. Is this fair? No! It is this pretence which the Derby Protectors have set themselves against.

== The Derby Protectors' Anthem ==
From the tomb of vile oppression

The liberated pride rises free;

Oppressors, bend your knees!

Compatriots, intone the cry!

Sound the cry, "Our freedom or death"!

Our breasts exhale it with faith,

And the mountains repeat its echoes

Like giants arising.

''Derbians: Our freedom or death!''

''It is our strength that will give us final liberty.''

''Neither tyrants nor slaves can continue,''

''Where unity and equality reign.''

''Neither tyrants nor slaves can continue,''

''Where unity and equality reign,''

''Where unity and equality reign.''

Our Fatherland defends liberty and justice;

Tyrants: listen!

The laws in its sacred charter

Will sustain its heroism in the fight.

Against the world, if the world opposes it,

If the world dares to insult her security,

Battling to avenge we shall know her

Or die embracing her.

''Derbians: Our freedom or death!''

''It is our strength that will give us final liberty.''

''Neither tyrants nor slaves can continue,''

''Where unity and equality reign.''

''Neither tyrants nor slaves can continue,''

''Where unity and equality reign,''

''Where unity and equality reign.''

Arise, oh People, your splendid sword

That strikes with sparkles of bravery,

There is no middle ground between free or slave

And an abyss divides the two.

In the gentle breezes the cry resounds,

Repeating with triumphal echo:

For the free, renowned glory!

For the Fatherland, immortal laurel!

''Derbians: Our freedom or death!''

''It is our strength that will give us final liberty.''

''Neither tyrants nor slaves can continue,''

''Where unity and equality reign.''

''Neither tyrants nor slaves can continue,''

''Where unity and equality reign,''

''Where unity and equality reign.''

= Parrotology =

''2007-06-06 10:44 spotted a parrot. Starting observations. Parrot looks much like a parrot, it has two wings, a beak and some legs too. And many colors.''

==Shartak parrots - their HP and AP ==

Wandering around you will probably meet some parrots. They are known to have low health and their beaks aren't the most efficient weapon in the world. Really? Read below for some less known truth about different kinds of parrots.
* a parrot - 1 DMG, 5 HP. Your daily parrot. Yawn...
* a vicious parrot - 2 DMG, 6 HP / 3 DMG, 7 HP - who would've expect? These little birds can be annoying, so you better watch your sleep when a vicious parrot is near.
* a man-eating parrot - 4 DMG, 8 HP - a little threat during a daytime it can make you visit your home-camp shaman in the night. Man-eating parrots were never spotted in their natural habitat, but lab tests prove that there is a possibility such a monster appears one day and terrorizes our dwellings.

Below you can see photos of the parrots:
[[Image:parrot.gif|thumb|left|Flying flower of a jungle]]
[[Image:parrot_vicious.gif|thumb|left|Beautiful, yet vicious]]
[[Image:parrot_man_eating.gif|thumb|left|Give me back my leg!]] 

==Parrots and tracking skills==

Even if you learned [[Tracking]] Mastery skill, you will not be able to track a bird. Now that I thought of this it seems obvious...

==Ectoparrotology==

''In my observations of ghosts and ectoforms I noticed a distinct lack of nonhuman willtrace. I hypothesized that most animals don't have the intelligence to produce them. Then a parrot repeated a native, in perfect English (except 'paleface die') instead of the native's nonsense.''

Field tests have yet to yield observations of parrot ghosts and the translating behavior has not been replicated in the lab. The project may need to be suspended to raise rapidly dwindling research funding. Those parrots eat so many mangoes.

=Botany=

There were rumors that liquids could affect the growth rate of the jungle, altough these were never confirmed. 
To find out if plants would really grow at different rates when submitted to liquids, I conducted an experiment. 
For this investigation I cleared several squares of jungle, poured all kinds of different substances on them, and kept track of each of their growth rates. 
The results were suprising: pouring fresh water on a square will make it grow one density in just one day; salt water slows groth down only slightly, so daily watering is needed to observe any effect; and all other liquids have no apparent effect.

==Charmoparrobotany==

Many think that charms own mystical properties which can help their owner in some way, although this has never been proven.

From own experience I noticed that if I swam through deep water with a parrot feather charm, I would get bitten by sharks fewer times than when I did without the charm, and I wasn't the only one who noticed this. 
So, I decided to investigate. 
I gathered some FAKs, and went swimming in a random path from the east of the island to the north for 500 AP while counting shark bites with, and without, a charm. 
When I finished, I noticed there was almost no difference. 
However, while I was swimming, a very kind native told me that he noticed that the effects of his charm disappeared after while, so I conducted a third investigation, which revealed that a new charm did, in fact, reduce the number of shark bites.

Here is the complete investigation:

| Total: 34 bites
|}
On two or three occasions I accidentally pressed the "swim" button before healing myself, making the chances of getting bitten much higher, meaning the total number of bites would probably have been 32 or 33.

The amount of time it takes before a charm loses its effect is still unknown.

===Update===

I also have the results of an older investigation, which seems to contradict what I have written above. 
For this older investigation I swam between two, same squares all the time ([-70.081,+26.350] and [-70.080,+26.350]), also for 500 AP.

These are the results:

Swimming for 500 AP with a new parrot feather charm: 24 bites. 
Swimming for 500 AP without a charm: 25 bites. 
Swimming for 501 AP (swimming in deep water costs 2 AP, and I was at 499 AP) with an old parrot feather charm: 21 bites. 

This shows that there is no difference between wearing a new, old or no parrot feather charm when swimming in deep water, so these objects' properties remain, once again, a mystery.

'''Open Arms''' is a group of people working to turn the violence-plagued island of Shartak into a peaceful paradise. Members decry senseless violence, choosing instead to show kindness while keeping the safety of all people of peace in mind. Violent players are regarded cautiously and may be fought off, but everyone else is warmly welcomed to the land we all share.

== Behavior of members ==
Members must be kind to all nonviolent players and may be less kind to violent ones. While the use of force is counterproductive to the clan's goals in the short term, some members may resort to it in an effort to punish violence, and, most importantly, to protect themselves and others from any savage, whether native or outsider, who only seeks harm.

Members are strongly encouraged to speak with those they meet, instruct the young and inexperienced, heal the weak and peaceful, and generally do all they can to build a friendly island-wide community where none currently exists — a community you can help create.

== Activities ==
In an effort to create an island-wide communications system, on 2006-09-05, {{profile|2445|Elembis}} created a native message hut in [[Wiksik]] at {{map|70|237|26|410}} and an outsider message hut one square to the east at {{map|70|236|26|410}} for players to write in in their respective languages. He hopes the idea will stick and be picked up by players in other camps.

Elembis will be leaving for Derby on 2006-09-06 to remind the camp's inhabitants that not all natives are their enemies and to attempt a meeting with fellow clan member {{profile|2893|Saint Matthew}}.

== Advice for non-members ==
People do not always communicate their peaceful intent, and peaceful intent is extremely important to us. If you are an outsider visiting a native camp, or a native visiting an outsider camp, please do the following to help ensure your safety:
# Sleep in or outside a hut so that you can write on the wall that you mean no harm. We may find your message and translate it into the local tongue so that all of your potential killers will be able to read it.
# Explain in your profile the code you follow for attacking (if you attack at all). Those of us who think camps should safe harbors for healing and trading, not areas in which people with different skin colors are automatically killed, would strongly encourage even violent players to be peaceful in foreign camps.

I was thinking back to the fond days of the Mall Tour at UD and I thought to myself why not make one here? As far as groups go this will be the loosest of all. Just add your name to the list and if I get 7 names at least then I'll start to organize this. Only Outsiders will be allowed in. You '''do not''' have to renounce your current group. Just join us for a fun time and go back to your group afterwards. We'll go from village to village (hopefully there'll be more then 3 by the time we start) cutting down the natives, slaying their shamans and stealing their gold (yes, we know you natives are hoarding it all). So if you're looking for a good time and a large raiding party, then add your name to the list.

To sum it up, we're basically the UN of pirate groups without the diplomacy.

==Clan is Closed==
We killed the clan.

==The Raid==
-THE RAID IS OFFICALLY OVER- (our first and only raid in this clan) 
20 Native scalps taken by the Lords. the lords are heading home. DKR is holding a fighting rear guard and Budgie is conducting a fact finding mission in Dalpok to investigate the natives capability to launch a counter-attack on york and generally their feelings about being murdered in their homes. While there he is using his machete to study their blood pressure and general physiology.

==Background==
The idea for this organisations existence was proposed immediately after the dark period of the native and pirate invasions. This was followed by weeks of planning, covert recruitment and finally a vote for a name. But the clan has finally got to its feet and is ready to openly prononce its existence and combat its enemies.

==News==
30 June 2006- The clan will offically close down. All current members are asked to join the New World Order. LOYt page will be kept, perhaps in the future someday Orcrist will reopen it.

27 June 2006- The raid is offically over with 18 scalps taken. Perhaps more coming with 2 brave soldiers who refuse to leave Dalpok for now (one is studying the native culture and behavioral norms the other is killing natives and disturbing the research).

25 June 2006- The Enforcer Project has started.

16 June 2006- IMPORTANT news the Lords Of yorktown are launching a raid against Dalpok, any outsider present in York may join

29 May 2006 - The clan is born.

==Contact==

==About==
The Wailers are a unique group that accepts solely the souls (har har) of the deceased--or any elemental spirits of the jungle, should any be about. Being able to wail is not a prerequisite, of course; screams, shrieks, and even just intimidating whispers are just fine. Members are by no means prohibited from temporarily entering the world of the living in corporeal form, but it is encouraged that most of their time be spent as a spirit.

==News==
13:05, 26 June 2006 (UTC) - Wailers' number grows and we welcome [http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=1553 new memeber].

02:03, 30 May 2006 (BST) - Yay! We have an official clanpage now - you can see it [http://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=27 here].

22:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC) - Clan disbanded. Farewell!

==The Story==
Long ago, at the birth of the world, before man or beast ever stood on the land or swam in the sea, there were spirits. Elemental spirits flitted about invisibly and curiously from hte dawn of time. When the first strange creatures began to appear in the ocean, they looked on with interest. When the first amphibians crawled up to explore the shore, they silently urged them on in amusement.

Shartak, for some reason likely only known to the oldest and wisest of shamans (if known at all to mortals), has, from the beginning, housed an incredible amount of these elemental spirits. They were there, certainly, far longer than man. When man did arrive, they merely looked on with curiosity, occasionally interacting with those few who could detect them (those who would, in later generations, be known as shamans). When men first began to die on the island (from disease, wild beasts, and their own brothers' hands), the elemental spirits were shocked to find their number increased with ''new'' spirits. These newcomers were not precisely like the elemental spirits, but were accepted, in time, and even granted the same veneration as their ancient cousins.

With the coming of more men, however, the elemental spirits are beginning to grow angry. There are too many of them now. The jungle is being chopped and burned to the ground, and new spirits are joining them at record rates. Balance has been entirely thrown off, and it is time for ancestors and elemental spirits to set things right again.

It is time to wail ''all'' men off the island.

==Obey The Rules==
Joining the Wailers means foregoing life. Possesed and boiling with anger, you have but one aim: remove all life from the island. As a toy in the mighty hands of the Spirits, even revive shall not stop you from spreading their will--that is to say, the ruthless killing any native, pirate, or outsider you happen upon.

As many of your characters as you want may become Wailers, but remember - zerg not, else you will regret it till the end of the days.

Tired of the outsider incursion into the homeland, a simple shaman from Wiksik gathered a small group together in order to try and repel the invaders. Peaceful means have failed, and the natives are beginning to use more violent means to get their point across. Enter the Native Resistance Front. Composed of villagers from all walks of life, NRF's sole goal is to send the outsiders packing. That's not to say, however, that all NRF members are natives—sympathetic outsiders, especially pirates and scientists, make up a small contingent within the group. Operations are largely decentralized, and members are entirely responsible for their own actions; the NRF serves as an information-sharing conduit and a resource for learning to work—to resist—more effectively. Join the group and fight the good fight. For Shartak; for all of us.

= Medical Hut Speech =

'''Debrief'''

The speech was extremely well received, with 23 attendees of all nationalities. Unfortunately, in the midst of an extremely interesting and productive question and answer session with community leaders and several officers of the [[Colonial Police]], [[Civilized Highway Society]] terrorist {{profile|5393|ombined}} burst into the venue and gunned down Marco and native shaman {{profile|1471|lacuna}}, a well-known and respected exorcist who has almost single-handedly kept York's resource huts free of aggressive spirits for the last few weeks. The CP are believed to be on Ombined's trail.

= A Call To Arms =
For too long, this isle has been heartlessly plundered and pillaged! In the name of progress, we cut roads into the jungle, laying waste to great swathes of land, only to fall in our dozens when enraged savages pour back along them and into our communities!

Our leaders and peers cry out for progress, commerce, access, civilisation; yet where are the calls for environment, for recreation, for enjoying and studying and living in harmony with the natural beauty that surrounds us?

Something must be done, and it must be done NOW, before it is too late forever!

== Getting Involved ==
We call all concerned citizens of the island, from any background or village, to rise up and oppose the senseless exploitation of this land. Hell, even the natives can join, if any of them can read this.

Even as we speak, a huge network of roads is under contruction across the island, bringing death and destruction to every creature they cross and scarring forever the face of the lands. We believe this to be the single greatest threat to our ecosystem. The roads must be stopped, at any cost! Pickets, sabotage, murder; nothing is too much in this vital battle for all our futures.

As an autonomous, decentralised group, we encourage everyone to resist their local roads in whatever way they choose. For those of you looking to join the main battle, Marco is currently heading towards the jungles between York and the Mountain, to oppose the road network at its proposed hub.

The history of environmental movements teaches us one clear lesson: our concern will not be appreciated by much of society. To protect our members, we would encourage you to live a double life, pretending to be a normal citizen whilst covertly working to protect the isle. Do not post your allegience, unless you feel like running off to live forever as an outcast in the jungle; and even then, you may want to head back into town to restock once in a while.

== Rousing Conclusion ==

This fight is nowhere near lost yet, although we must act fast to win it. Stop the roads, stop the logging, stop the needless slaughter of animals, by any means possible. Picket your local trader. Carve anti-logging slogans into trees. Support alternate means of transport. Grab a gun and a cuban cigar and join us in the jungle. Whatever you do, make them fear our name. See you in the trenches, comrades!

--[http://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=1607 Marco]

= Important Press Realease, 14-06-06 =

Subcommandante Marco is proud to announce the closure of the Derby Direct route to York, effective as of 1200hrs, on the 15-06-06. Following this date, all traffic on the road will be asked to leave; those ignoring signs and requests to leave will be removed using force, if nessecary. The SPF does not wish to use excessive force. However, this road passes perilously close to several fragile microhabitats along the coast, which we cannot allow to be harmed by the heavy traffic expected to flow along the road once it is completed. Therefore, anyone refusing to vacate the road will be assumed to be hostile.

Barricades and signs have been erected at the ends of the roads; please leave these in place to prevent civilians from accidentally entering the controlled zone.

The SPF (YMH branch) would like to extend invitations to all fellow eco-warriors to join our struggle, and also to members of the Anthropological Society to study the rare microhabitats along the beaches.

To everyone else, please stay clear of the area to avoid causing erosion and pollution. Poaching, trespass, sabotage and intentional ecological damage will be strongly frowned upon.

(For a discussion of the reasons we need to stop this road, see the Talk Page)

The Pope calls you to reclaim the island Shartak from filthy hands of devil-worshipping savages and give it back to its TRUE owner - the Lord.

Young zealots and true believers - enlist here and please the Lord by ki.. I mean converting these poor pagan souls into the One True faith, and giving a helping hand to build a glorious church in Shartak.

==News==
The sickening decay of HERESY has reached the island! Beware...

==The First Crusade in Shartak==
[[Image:Crusade2.jpg]] 
Yesterday the Lord Himself spoke to me, and He said "Smite My enemies without mercy. Thou shalt reclaim this land that's rightfully Mine, thou shalt make native blood flow in rivers. No other god shalt be before Me in the village of Wiksik".

As a traveller and missionary, on my own eyes I have seen the horrible atrocities that are taking place there - death, depravity and sodomy in broad light of day - ritualistic murders, rape, things beyond imagination of a God-fearing decent man. Demonic practices are part of everyday lives of these savages - they give worship to Satan himself!
They build temples to him, made entirely of gold! Gold is everywhere - these natives are wearing it on their bodies in form of rings, armbans and jewel-incrusted necklaces, and each hut is no doubt filled to the roof with it. But they won't share it, they're evil and greedy...

These Wiksik savages are dangerous and evil, and for the good of Shartak and every decent person on they need to be cleansed, in the name and glory of God!

This holy and noble cause needs soldiers! We must purge the village of Wiksik from evil savages! Join while you still have the chance to share the glory. 
And gold.

===Time and place===
Interested individuals should gather on the lake north-west of Wiksik '''Sunday, March 18th'''. Once at least 15 brave souls show up, the party will head for the village. Should too few come... well, the island will probably become savages' dominion and everyone on it will burn in hell for all eternity.

===The Articles of Bartholomew Roberts: (with landlubber explanations)===

I. Every man has a vote in affairs of moment; has equal title to the fresh provisions, or strong liquors, at any time seized, and may use them at pleasure, unless a scarcity (no uncommon thing among them) makes it necessary, for the good of all, to vote a retrenchment.

II. Every man to be called fairly in turn, by list, on board of prizes because, (over and above their proper share) they were on these occasions allowed a shift of clothes: but if they defrauded the company to the value of a dollar in plate, jewels, or money, marooning was their punishment. [this was a barbarous custom of putting the offender on shore, on some desolate or uninhabited cape or island, with a gun, a few shot, a bottle of water, and a bottle ofpowder, to subsist with or starve] If the robbery was only betwixt one another, they contented themeselves with slitting the ears and nose of him that was guilty, and set him on shore, not in an uninhabited place, but somewhere, where he was sure to encounter hardships.

III. No person to game at cards or dice for money.

IV. The lights and candles to be put out at eight o'clock at night: if any of the crew, after that hour still remained inclined for drinking, they were to do it on the open deck; [which Roberts believed would give a check to their debauches, for he was a sober man himself, but found at length , that all his endeavours to put an end to this debauch proved ineffectual.]

V. To keep their piece, pistols, and cutlass clean and fit for service. [In this they were extravagantly nice, endeavoring to outdo one another in the beauty and richness of their arms, giving sometimes at an auction (at the mast) thirty or forty pounds a pair for pistols. These were slung in time of service, with different coloured ribbands over their shoulders in a way particular to these fellows, in which they took great delight.

VI. No boy or woman to be allowed amongst them. If any man were to be found seducing any of the latter sex, and carried her to sea, disguised, he was to suffer death; [so that when any fell into their hands, as it chanced in the Onslow, they put a sentinen immediatelyover her to prevent ill consequences from so dangerous an instrument of division and quarrel; but then here lies the roguery; they contend who shall be sentinel, which happens generally to one of the greatest bullies, who, to secure the lady's virtue, will let none lie with her but himself.]

VII. To desert the ship or their quarters in battle, was punished with death or marooning.

VIII. No striking one another on board, but every man's quarrels to be ended on shore, at sword and pistol. [The quarter-master of the ship, when the parties will not come to any reconciliation, accompanies them on shore with what assistance he thinks proper, and turns the disputant back to back, at so many paces distance; at the word of command, they turn and fire immediately, (or else the piece is knocked out of their hands). If both miss, they come to their cutlasses, and then he is declaired the victor who draws the first blood.]

IX. No man to talk of breaking up their way of living, till each had shared one thousand pounds. If in order to this, any man should lose a limb, or become a cripple in their service, he was to have eighthundred dollars, out of the public stock, and for lesser hurts, proportionately.

X. The captain and quartermaster to recieve two shares of a prize: the master, boatswain, and gunner, one share and a half, and other officers one and quarter.

XI. The musicians to have rest on the Sabbath Day, but the other six days and nights, none without special favour.

==The Durham Pistoleers has been disbanded==
You are invited to join [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/The_Durham_Tea_Party The Durham Tea Party]

=History=

==Background==
When Dutch soldier Dennis Kuijt first placed his size 9 boot on the sand of Shartak he knew that the mysterious island lying in front of him would bring him fame and fortune. Unfortunately the first thing it brought him was a bad case dysentery, and when he finally had the energy to venture into the jungle, a native chopped him down with a machete.
When Dennis awoke in the Durham settlement he knew that that kind of aggression would not stand. He found the armory hut and started collecting bullets for his rifle.....

==Mission==
The objective of the Durham Pistoleers is to keep Durham safe from both the primitive natives as well as hostile settlers from Derby and York.

Also, Durham Pistoleers do their utmost to expel Durhamites that kill other Durhamites without reason. Currently {{profile|948|Dystopia}} and {{profile|2413|Buffy871}} are '''not''' welcome in Durham. The same goes for {{profile|6654|Nathan Hale}} and any other of the [[Durham Nationalists]] caught threatening or attacking peaceful Durhamites and Pistoleers.
The Pistoleers and former blacklisted durhamite {{profile|4738|Lucifer}} has come to a peaceful agreement, and he should no longer be killed on sight, but treated with respect by Pistoleers and Durhamites alike.

* As of '''March 3rd''', we have a truce with Nathan Hale and the Nationalists, while we try and put together an election for Govenor. The mission of the Pistoleers will remain the same.

* On '''March 31th''', Pistoleer candidate Commodore Jacobi won the Durham Election, and is now official Govenor of Durham.

* Since '''April''' the Pistoleers has, on request, opened up membership for Yorkmen.

==Organisation==
The Durham Pistoleers uses a hut [-70.652,+26.340] in the SW part of Durham as HQ.
The Pistoleers invite rifle wielding Durhamite or Yorkmen of all nationalities to join the group, by adding ones name to the list below, and make Durham a safer, and richer, place to stay.

== The Founding of the DVF ==

The Durham Volunteer Force or DVF as it is more commonly known is a paramilitary group concerned with the fight for a free and united Durham. The present Durham Nationalist Militia are a farce and work in tandem with the corrupt government. As such a few brave men and women made a pact to form a new force to fight for the cause. A mostly secret organization which strikes from secret and fights on it's own terms it is attracting more members as it's actions become known. The symbol of the DVF is the Red Hand of Nationalism upon the Durham Flag.

== Objectives ==

* Freedom for Durham.
* An end to corruption in the government and police force
* A united Durham
* Freedom for Nationalist sentiment
* The reuniting of The Republic of Creedy with Durham.
* An end to the revolutionaries know as the 'Durham Tea Party'.

== How can I fight for the cause? ==

We welcome all outsiders to join our soldier ranks and fight for the cause. However informants and intelligence officers are picked and remain anonymous to both the civilian population and most of the DVF to protect them.

We are always looking for more personnel to aid the cause. Whether it be Doctors, traders and logistics or fighters.

Contact Lukas on the forums or in game.

'''- Events '''

 
'''The Landing of Baron Robert Surcouf:'''
After a successful campaign as a privateer fighting against the English during the Napoleanic wars of freedom, Surcouf was sent to Shartak to maintain the interests of liberty and Empire in the New World. Surcouf landed in 1813 and immediately scouted out the great bulk of the island. After his reconoiter, Surcouf made contact with the Court of Raktam and was made Head of the Garrison at Fort Creedy, that bastion of freedom, when troops were sent to protect the liberties of the members and associates of the Commonwealth. Surcouf gallantly led the combined forces of Raktami, Creedyite and mercenary troops against the nefarious First Colonial Militia, who threatened the liberty of Creedy by attempting to restore the vile, besotten and English monarchist principle. With this victory Surcouf felt that it was safe to begin French colonization. Napolean was contacted, and an official treaty was smuggled to Shartak by a drunken Jacobin Irishman. The courrier was captured by English interests, but managed to send a copy of the treaty to Surcouf by co-opting the help of a one-legged lemur. Thereby, the alliance between Raktam, Creedy and the French was assured for all eternity.

 
'''Il de la Chemin-Midi:'''
With this alliance secured, small bands of intrepid French men and women, citizens, began to appear in small but vigorous, but not too vigorous, groups. In the summer of 1814, Hercule Le Tof, a former vinter from the county of Anjou, set up the first French encampment, a casino on the island named Il de la Chemin-Midi. People from all over Shartak flocked to the island for the classic French way of living: gambling, prostitutes, the Catholic Church, nude sun-bathing. However, as Napolean's fortunes changed and the weight of the entire planet began to shift against him, set about by the bastard English, Il de la Chemin-Midi began to grow too dangerous to support. Jealous of the liberties, pleasures and joy of the French, various forces conspired to eject the French from the island. The French fought gallantly, but soon they realized that it was not worth fighting over an island. A peninsula is a noble prize, a river perhaps, but not an island. So the French willingly and joyfully left the island shouting defiant curses as they left.
