This is how we conduct ourselves:

ROLEPLAY a fictitious 19th Century Naval organization with heavy steampunk trappings, in the virtual world of Second Life (TM)  This does not mean strict adherence to military rank (unless in a scripted roleplay).

BE SPORTSMANLIKE amongst ourselves and with others at all times.

USE DECORUM,  the ability to pass as officers and gentlemen (or ladies)-- if we can't say something nice (or at least neutral), we shut our mouths and complain later

BE WELCOMING, kind and instructive to new members.

FOSTER 19th century naval combat gridwide in Second Life (tm)

CREATE standards for ironclad combat and promote them in every battle.

EDUCATE (as best we can) about the history of the era.
