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. |

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? _________________ " ... the mistakes that we male and female mortals make when we have our own way might fairly raise some wonder that we are so fond of it. " George Eliot |

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. |
