The Crew
- Who are the Pirates
-
The Pirates are YOU, the crew of our mighty ship, The Dirty Skull.
Many years ago, Grand Theft Auto V released, and with it came the introduction of crews. It was at this time Burke, his friends, and his followers, decided to create a crew, calling it "The Black Crew", in honor of their captain.
Together, they decided that anarchy, chaos, and freedom to do what they wanted, were the core fundamentals of their crew. Some of the first crew rank titles included; Jokers, Wolverines, and other various villain names.
But then, somebody saw the similarities in the crews' core fundamentals and the fundamentals of sea pirates and suggested that the crew don their eye-patches, fill their tankards, pick up their swords, and become "The Pirates".
The community rejoiced. Jokers became Corsairs, Wolverines became Buccaneers, and "The Black Crew" became "The Pirates".
The rest is history.
