IV. How can I register my Crew?
Registration is simple!
You can sign your Crew up by contacting us through Twitter
You can sign up by posting directly in this Forum Thread
You can sign up by directly contacting us through Fortune's Discord.
You will need to provide the following information:
- GamerTags of all participating pirates.

- 1 Twitter ID (REQUIRED to provide Proofs Of Completion)
----REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE ON APRIL 18TH , 2019---
V. What are the rules?
You and your crew will be tasked to complete 13 Riddles and provide a Proof Of Completion for every one of them.
Once a Riddle is completed, the next one will be made available to you and all the other participants.
Those who have yet to complete their Riddle will still have to provide their Proof Of Completion before moving on to the next Riddle.
A Crew is composed of a minimum of 3 pirates and a maximum of 4 pirates.
The individual Gamertags are needed to validate the Crew submissions of Proof of Completion.
Each Proof Of Completion must contain the Gamertags of the participants. Either through Non-Verbal Command, Chat, or Name Plate.
Crew Roster changes can be made up until 48hrs before the Event starts.
Officials have to be notified for those changes (via Twitter, the Forums or Discord).
The Crew name is a vital component when it comes to search for your submissions on Twitter, which is why it is important for each Crew to have a Unique Name.
