For how long is it possible to keep your crew happy without sharing the booty?

The traditional rule of thumb is that you can keep your crew happy forever with 1,000 gold per crew member. The more precise formula is developed in this old thread:

If your looking for a super tough challenge then I would recommend seeing how long you could keep a lady like girlfriend, wife etc happy without sharing the booty. Bet you won't last long. Smile

That is a positively SUPERB thread! I was always under the opinion that you had to have both the Cook and Quartermaster to get to the 1004 gold/crew member ratio to ensure immortality. The research that went into this is absolutely amazing! Great job!

I I don't share my booty, I can't expect my wife to share her's. Sound fair?

Where a female pirate is involved, is "fair" a relevant concept?

When the female pirate comes from SE Asia. Vietnam to be exact and had a childhood of poverty due to the war tearing that country all to hell at the time and you can throw whatever you consider being fair out the window. It's a dog eat dog world and she'll find a way to get the booty one way or another.
