Category:Forming a Navy

There are some new rules that have been agreed upon when it comes to forming your own navy. In order to qualify for forming a new navy, one must meet several criteria as described below. Failure to meet any of these criteria may result in your navy being disbanded, deleted, or even barred from reforming when you meet the criteria. Exceptions will only be granted rarely, and only in exemplary circumstances. Saying that you didn't know about these rules is not an excuse. If you are making a navy, you should be active enough to have found out about these rules anyways.
 * 1) You must have at least 2 other people willing to be in your navy. You can meet others in the chat to invite others to sign up, discuss rank, negotiate terms, etc.
 * 2) Anyone planning on forming a navy MUST have been a member of the Battleship Craft/ BSC Navies wikia(s) for at least a month. This is so that you know what you are doing by the time you are ready to make your own navy.
 * 3) If you want to create a navy, you must have an idea of where your homeland will be located on the map. Just plunking your navy down anywhere is not an option though. You MUST clear your location with any neighboring navies, however, for the location to be acceptable. Once accepted, you can either make your own map(subject to approval) or wait for a cartographer to contact you in order to add your navy to the map.
 * 4) Before creating a navy, you must contact me with all revelant information so that I may relay this to the correct authorities and check to see if you meet the criteria.
 * 5) Use common sense. DO NOT make a navy because you got bored one day and you only plan on being minimally involved with it. Temporary navies will not be permitted, unless it is a temporary alliance of mercenaries or people with common goals. In addition, if you wish to make a navy, make sure you have some good ships or are otherwise capable of holding your own. It is a tough world out there, and weak navies may be disbanded for their own good until they can prove that they are strong. Also, do not place your new navy in between two warring factions, and don't say that you are a magical navy or you are stationed on the moon or come from the fourth dimension or some other phooey. I will explicitly prohibit intentional stupidity in forming a navy, folks. No exceptions.
 * 6) ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAKES SENSE WILL BE GRANDFATHERED IN AS ADDED. Always make sure to check for any changes to these guidelines.

These guidelines will take effect July 21st, 2013, at Oh-Zero-Hundred Hours E.S.T.( 00:00, 12:00 AM ); navies made before this time will not be subject to these rules.
