Editing Pirates (section)

===The Ship's Articles===

The purpose of the Articles is mostly to adjudicate the operations of a single ship: how the loot is divvied up,how to deal with conflicts among the crew, etc.
* conflicts among crew to be settled ashore in a formalised duel of some sort, never by violence aboard ship.
* Stealing from crewmates is Not Done, and someone who does is liable to whatever punishment the crew decides to mete out
* Loot is to be split into equal shares and distributed as follows
** One Share to the Pirate Lords of Cove Secret
** Two Shares to be divided between the Captain and Watch Standing Officers (currently the officers are splitting this share an extra way to ensure that there is a petty cash fund for ship repairs and other unforeseen circumstances)
** One Share to be divided equally among the remaining crew.
* Everyone has equal access to booze and food, and takes it in turn to pick from clothes, arms, sundries, and luxuries.
* Anyone who suffers a crippling injury gets a large payout, or, circumstances permitting, healing at the general expense
* Anyone who fails to present themselves and their arms in condition to fight doesn't get a share of the loot after.
