How does everyone feel about NPC crews? Should we have them? So far, our RP Rep has says we cannot have them. The only problem I have with this is that captains of ships cannot operate their vessel alone and no one ship HQ is going to get a lot of people to join their crew to fill all the mundane ship procedures. It's just not going to happen. Also, one or two RPCs cannot wage a battle that's very fun or efficient by themselves, which is why I think our crews should also be used to fight. Of course, RPCs can easily defeat any NPCs. As always, the 3 move per post thing would still be in place. What're your thoughts? Please share.

I said yes. But you shouldn't use them to battle, just to fire cannons and man the ship. But not man to man fights.
Yes, a pirate roleplay needs NPCs to function. If I'm not mistaken, it will be like our ships battle and when, let's say, I board your ship, you and I will get into an epic battle(unless your character flees of course) and it will be automatically understood that the NPCs are fighting. Now just because you're a RPC doesn't mean you get to walk around smashing all the NPCs. We must take this within reason.
I was an avid reader on the MBs and not a user. You will not recognize me but I will recognize you...

Yes!! This is exactly what I meant! You aren't going to duel with RPCs. They just man the ship and fire cannons, but not fight directly with you.

I feel like they should be able to though. Obviously they won’t be as skilled as RPCs, but a RPC shouldn’t be able to clear a ship of NPCs alone. There might also be RPCs who want to stay out of the fight, letting the NPCs do it for them, and if the NPCs are completely worthless then the RPC isn’t really a viable choice.

Ok. NPCs are allowed. No fighting between NPCs and RPCs. Any objections, to result in further debating?
RPCs should be able to fight NPCs and vice versa should the situation call for it. And it’s not realistic that the invading RPC on a ship would just be able to walk up to the captain and fight him. How about we separate NPCs into two groups for clarity:
Specific NPCs: These are people that are alligned to a certain person of group of person, like the crew of a ship and soldiers of a colony. These would be controlled by whoever controls the ruling RPC, and can engage other RPCs if it makes sense. Of course they wouldn’t be much of a match for a RPC one on one, but they’d be able to slow them down or win with overwhelming numbers.
General NPCs: People like bar keepers, commoners, and shop keepers. Those not aligned to a certain colony or pirate. They would be able to be controlled by anyone within reason, but wouldn’t be able to engage with RPCs.
