The Keep:Ghost Ship

This page is still very much under construction! (Actually, I've just started writing it after it's been sitting on my to-do list for months. Breaking tasks into small steps, right?)

One day, it's supposed to be the wiki guild page for the guild

Ghost Ship
Hopefully, some time in the future, it will contain well-structured, informative content with correct links and an aesthetically pleasing layout complete with pictures. (One can dream, right?)

Ummm... to start building the page, I'll just copy in a few already existing bits of text, which I can happily play with later:

Guild description as it is right now:

"Ghost Ship

(... by now also know as the "organ donor guild".) - This guild was boarded (not created!), taken over, and renamed by the crew of the pirate ship "Ching Shih". When we came in, it had zero members. A real ghost ship! The idea of death-related challenges suggested itself - for example, how to become an organ donor. Now the guild chat is all about organ donation, making a will, making an advanced health care directive, donating your body to medical research & education, blood and bone marrow donation while still alive, etc. Our organ donor challenge works well but we'd also like to have step-by-step guide challenges about the other topics. If you have enough knowledge about any of these, please feel free to create one!

While these are the main topics, you're also welcome to just haunt the ship, rattle your bones here, and carve some eerie messages into the wood!"

... and the comment bubble you see on top of the guild chat:

"Tip o' the hat to pirate @Tony Whitney who almost beat me to it! And he found the logo, too! It's from [blackdreamer.com](http://blackdreamer.com/image/29/2/ghost-ship-wallpaper-12-free-desktop.jpg).

We have challenges about organ donation, but we'd like to have more "step-by-step guide" challenges about making a will, making a living will, donating one's body to medical education, blood donation and bone marrow donation while still alive, and related matters. I'd like to make them but I don't feel qualified enough. If you know enough about the matter and would like to create such a challenge, that would be most welcome!"

Description in the wikia Guild Guide (where it is in the category "Supporting a Good Cause - Other Good Causes":

"Do pirate ghost ships support a good cause? They do if they have a "Become an Organ Donor!" challenge. The guild's ghost ship theme makes it a good place both for serious death-related challenges (organ donation, making a will) and eerie fun things (Halloween plans, sharing songs like "Zombie Pirates in Love", ...)."

Existing challenges at the moment:

[https://habitrpg.com/#/options/groups/challenges/298be81f-188d-43e0-8694-af2203d99f35 Get Disemboweled! - Organ Donation for Pirates v0.3]

[https://habitrpg.com/#/options/groups/challenges/30a038e7-38ca-4dcc-bc42-ec551bdb5ddd ♡ I am an organ donor! ♡] (usually several copies of it)

Pirate's last chest

... and outside the guild in the Tavern:

[https://habitrpg.com/#/options/groups/challenges/c6839e9a-6e2d-419a-b009-f4466c486647 Become an Organ Donor! (Or get a trophy for already being one!)]

(which points to the organ donation challenges inside the guild)

A copy of the beginnings of the guild chat (because one day I want to tell the story how the guild came into being):


 * ... ah, found the download! Thanks again! Looks great as a logo! *sings along with "Ship of the Dead" which, again, I can only find for free in Bilgemunky's Halloween podcast (time 0:34:34, right after "Zombie Pirates in Love")*

 * @Tony Whitney The ghost ship picture is beautiful but I can't download it! It says "Click the download button" but there is none... I suspect some browser security settings, will see what I can do. - By "tattoo" I meant the "See Ya, Seahorse!" challenge you won.

 * @Wunderkind Oooh a mermaid on a kraken! I think you're in the right guild here. :)

 * Read about your expliots in stag guild and I just had to check it out. Nice ship you've got here.

-3 months ago+1Wunderkind
 * Hey @Tony Whitney where did you get your new seahorse tattoo? Didn't see it before! (Looks nice though.)

-3 months ago+1 Mara the Marine Marauder
 * ... got a good ghost ship picture or jolly roger to upload maybe?

-3 months ago+1 Mara the Marine Marauder
 * ... I don't know what changed, but I am the guild leader now! @Tony Whitney Sorry - beat you to it by a hair's breadth! Sooooo - wanna help me redesign it?

-3 months ago+1 Mara the Marine Marauder
 * No gems here to rob... but a ghost ship guild is still a nice thing to be on in. Here's a link to Hucklescary Finn's "Ghost Ship" (at time 1:10:25 - again, Bilgemunky was the only place I found it for free) - the lyrics are appropriate. :) - Maybe we can duel jaragon?

-3 months ago+1 Mara the Marine Marauder
 * @Alys said in the Tavern: " @Mara the Marine Marauder : That guild does still have a leader even though that person isn't part of a guild. Their name is jaragon and they are still active in HabitRPG; their last log in date was today. It's not possible for me to tell you how you can contact them, but perhaps they drop into the Tavern sometimes."

 * (We could duel nonetheless in case we get bored otherwise...)

-3 months ago+1 Mara the Marine Marauder
 * I knew you'd show up here, Tony! Good pirate! :) Sadly, it looks like we don't automatically become guild leaders by joining an empty guild. (Trying to find out the technical details.)

-3 months ago+1 Mara the Marine Marauder
 * Shall we duel for guild leadership?

-3 months ago+2Tony Whitney
 * A ghost guild with zero members? (It was before I joined.)

Some more data about the guild before we joined it:

It was a Hearthstone fandom guild (I actually forgot the title) which jaragon probably abandoned because there already existed another one. We probably found it empty because we joined in the time between jaragon leaving the guild and the next database update (which would have deleted the empty guild).

... that's enough guild page writing for today. :-}
