The Keep:Pirate Cove

Description
Doing things the pirate way... Enter if you dare!

Our guild wasn't created by us - it was boarded, taken over, robbed of its gems, and renamed by our crew of the pirate ship "Ching Shih". You can still see the wreck of one of its old challenges inside. Yarrrrrrr!

Our captain is Mara the Marine Marauder.

Challenges
Most of our challenges aren't inside our guild (except the old sunken football challenge) but outside in the guilds we conquer, or in the Tavern. They are mostly either about distributing shares of the booty (guild banks gems) among our crew, or about holding the guild for ransom (finding a new captain for the conquered guild - not necessarily a pirate). If you want to create a guild but don't have the gems for it, these challenges might interest you!

Current Actions and Adventures

 * We are currently attacking Gryffindor House!
 * We just won the famous old HabitRPG guild 📜 Library of Shared Lists! More news about this as the situation progresses.
 * The Conscientious Consumption guild is still looking for a new captain. Tavern challenge to be made soon (hopefully). If you're interested, please volunteer to take over the guild!
 * The situation in The Abandoned Camp is, uh, still abandoned and waiting to be resolved some time in the future... Too much else going on at the moment!

Guilds Conquered So Far
So far, we have conquered 9 guilds in total.


 * 1) The pirate crew of the "Ching Shih" conquered our ship, robbed it of all its gems (except the one in the old sunken football challenge), and made it our home port.
 * 2) We boarded the guild now known as Ghost Ship (also wiki page) (and found neither crew nor booty in there).
 * 3) The captain of the Gaming Addicts Anonymous guild surrendered the guild to us. (Actually they just unexpectedly made Captain Mara guild leader without any reference to piracy, but joyfully agreed afterwards that we can count it among our conquered guilds.)
 * 4) We captured a Korean guild, shared its 4 gems among us and held the guild for ransom until brave marine @Fear came to the rescue (and renamed the guild Hellblazers).
 * 5) The leader of the "Challenge Yourself!" guild surrendered to us before we had even started attacking. We held that guild for ransom, too, and another scurvy (and, at that time, sniffly and sneezy) pirate named @Bloody Jenny Flint won it and turned it into The Ship of the Dread Pirate Roberts. (It now has ongoing "Merry-Go-Round" challenges where people can win guild captaincy in turn, then make the next "Merry-Go-Round" challenge.)
 * 6) Bosun @MEmry singlehandedly captured the leaderless vessel Toothpick Factory (having obtained a letter of marque from the admins) and is now captain of said ship!
 * 7) We found another ghost guild that wasn't just memberless, but also nameless. After sharing the booty and enjoing this obscure hideout for a while, we lured potential new captains in from the Tavern (by challenge made by Bosun @MEmry). Now its new leader is @Castanwydden, its name is Venture outside your lair, and it's dedicated to venturing outside every day. It has a nice swimming pool, men serving pie, and occasional goats.
 * 8) The captain of Conscientious Consumption just gave up and left, and since Captain Mara already was first mate there, we got the guild automatically. (If you're interested, please volunteer to take over the guild!)
 * 9) We just won the famous old HabitRPG guild 📜 Library of Shared Lists! More news about this as the situation progresses.

Let the future be as bootyful!
