VCO: Voodoo Shipping Company

[William Death]

I am pleased to announce that [VCO] Voodoo Shipping Company is recruiting Captains of a Piratical Disposition

We are a PvP and RvR-oriented pirate clan with a solid reputation on both of those fronts. Established in 2016, VCO has been with Naval Action since the beginning, testing and contributing to the development of the game. We primarily play a PvP/Privateering playstyle, with a healthy amount of RvR thrown in. VCO’s diverse player roster enjoys our blend of PvP and RvR, with some PvE events and trade operations thrown in as well. We are Content Creators in Naval Action.

VCO is an independent clan. We work for our own interests, first and foremost; but we also make every attempt to consider what is best for our nation as well. To this end, we’ll definitely cut deals to work with other clans for a common goal. We have no permanent alliances and every alliance or deal made is made with the understanding that we’ll likely end up on opposite ends of the cannon at some time or another again. It’s a PvP game and that’s just what happens. If you wish to begin alliance talks, or wish to hire us as mercenaries, contact Christendom, Coraline Vodka, or Wraith.

In VCO, we take pride of our ability to work together to form the People’s Shipline that provides all of our players with the necessary supplies needed to succeed in the game. You’ll never have to worry about juggling crafting hours, buildings and workshops and shipyards ever again. Just contribute your share and you’ll reap the dividends in on-demand ship construction (with cannons provided to avoid incidents), repairs, and mods.

In VCO, we have people from all walks of life, logging in from all over the world to enjoy this unique game with us.
We don’t ask much of our recruits, but we do have a few requirements:

1. Use comms: we have a Discord server for text chat so everyone can stay up-to-date on whats going on, and we have a TeamSpeak channel for voice chat when playing together in group events.
2. Have a bit of thick skin, good-natured ribbing is to be expected—don’t take personal offence if you’re the target end of a joke once in a while (as typed by the master duelist who is constantly reminded how he lost Surprise vs LGV).
3. Maturity: we have no real age limit in VCO, and our clan has young folks just out of highschool and retired folks who remember a time before the internet. All we ask is that you have a bit of maturity when the situation calls for it. Our discord has text channels for discussion of politics and beer choices…if this offends you then it is suggested you avoid those channels.
4. Remember that it’s a game. Have fun and if it starts to feel like work, don’t stick around and get stressed. Its not a job and you’re not expected to be online at every opportunity.
5. No Eagles fans. 
6. Must understand that Naval Action is at least 70% scrolling through Reddit or watching Netflix while waiting on some battle or a long sail.

What you can expect from joining VCO:

1. Regular PvP hunting squadrons. Almost every day, someone from VCO can be found looking for enemies to sink. If you aren’t experienced, we can teach you.
2. RvR action like Port Battles and Screening. We are fortunate to have some excellent Port Battle commanders and tacticians in our clan, with thousands of collective hours of Port Battle experience between us.
3. The best shipline in the game: the People’s Shipline will take care of you.
4. We know that grinding ship slots together makes the grind much more enjoyable, and sometimes you just don’t have time to dedicate to PvP activites. That’s why we do PvE events like fleet missions, cargo deliveries, epic events, trader escort duty, etc.
5. If you’re into it, we dabble in a few other games as well, you can learn more about that on our Discord once you join.

Some VCO achievements: 

1. Destroying Nations
2. Professional Nightflippers
3. Destroyers of PvP1
4. 75% of the clan is forum-banned for offering critical opinions of various changes
5. Having the longest grudge match in the entire game against Kingy
6. Hated and Loved by the top 5 most prominent EU content creators
7. Content Creation.

Ah Budgie. The guy who wouldn’t join us because he was too scared to fight WO.  Then criticizes us when we stopped fighting WO.  Drink a coopers and make up your mind mate!

Rule #1 in The Art of the Deal.... be open to all deals.  We’ll deal with anyone and everyone. Provided they don’t like mayonnaise.

You have that backwards. You're the clan that made the deal not to fight WO not me. I remained in US to continue fighting them after you left to make your alliance with them. Bottom line is i cant stand deals being done to avoid a challenge or crush a nooby nation like US. That is the main reason i didn't go back to pirate because i knew deals would be done.

  Rule#1 for VCO should be:   It's better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

  Rule#2: Get your facts straight.

No Eagles fans?!? Sir I do believe that affront to my honor is akin to a declaration of war! @King of Crowns we cannot allow this to stand!

The screenshots I have of you talking to certain members of ours about not wanting to join pirates with us because “WO will fight us no matter what nation we join” must be a figment of my imagination then.  You remained US and continued to help them by......quitting.  it’s been a few months since we’ve seen you on dude.  Welcome back.  

All talk and no walk Budgie.  Always saying who everyone should be fighting, but when it comes to being the battles you’re always absent.  

Anyway, Good to see you back in game again.  I hope you stick around this time.  We extended a hand to you a while ago to come over pirate with us, you chose to just whine about fights you’re never in anyway.  You won’t be extended another opportunity to join us this time around. 

Best of luck in the US.

Let's get this thread back on track.

Is owning the Prolific Forger a requirement before being able to join VCO?

No, but you have to be able to hold your own for 15 minutes fighting 1 vs 4 while your enemy has faster ships, better wind, and bigger guns than you. Then your friends can warp in and save you. 

Props if you demast them while you're at it.
