Pirates O'Charity (the General Archive)
and
Morale Boost Thread (has been given the Red Banner of Death)
These are intended to be on-going events, dare I say, Tradition post-game release. Due to Work and Personal "issues," I haven't been able to take care of them properly since early December. But by nature, they will be maintained regularly.
BUT why should these be staples? Here's why. . .
During a time which members felt neglected, forgotten, and ignored, the Morale Boost Thread was born. The aforementioned thread was the parent thread, and substantial Monthly Threads would be created and thusly closed at the end of each month. For the most part, the mother Morale Thread would help generate ideas and keep tabs on what movies and 'games' were suggested and what was scratched off the list due to when they were featured. Pirate Movie/Party Nite is hosted on rabb.it in the most legit of ways. Those movies not aired on NETFLIX would be rented (aye, rented. No sailing across the 7 seas for some bootstrapped version of some film. Aye, I be a pirate, but I be a woman of my word). Somewhat recently, a COMMUNITY GENERATED CONTEST was made on said Morale Thread and has been sent to a shallow, watery grave. The Contest was proposed very much early in the brainstorming phase, and now with the game release date and #BeMorePIRATE promo in place, there has been no greater time to showcase ones questionable yet somewhat healthy love and fervor for all things Piratey and RARRRE.
As for the Pirates O'Charity thread? I brought up the idea to ask Optical and Emma if we could ever have a Charity Livestream featuring SEA OF THIEVES. Mind you, this was back in ~~ what ~~ October 2016ish (?). PO'C was conceived yet not properly berthed til the Summer of 2017. Player Pirates created and named the group that wold represent the SOT-ForumFAM. They would maintain it. They would show that gaming communities could not, are not toxic places to be. To show that they care about each other and support one another in ways more powerful and more emotional than could be imagined on the digital scale. That they don't keep to themselves but give to others with full hearts, opened arms, and quick-fire fingers. That they help others -- in and outside of this ForumFAM -- the best way they know how... through gaming. They give willingly and selflessly to children and families in need, to grown men and women who are enabled to play through generosity in ways that enrich their hearts and minds, to organizations in any country for any rightful cause.
These threads represent the best of us. All of Us. Of what we are and will always be.
When the world beats us down to a bloody pulp, we do not wash away but linger. We shall stay, to rise, and sail together.
