In their ideal world, nobody would kill or rob each other; ships would sail free, war would be replaced with sport, alliances would not be necessary and friendship would be finally disinterested. To achieve this dream, the Juice Pirates have always shown their disdain towards raiders. AppleJK divides society in four groups: | ||

A remarkable project was the Apple Galleon, a siege proof indiaman designed to travel wherever they wanted. Ships are often considered difficult to sail because of the lack of claims during travel but the Juice Pirates wanted to win this challenge and travel regardless of the danger. | A remarkable project was the [[Apple Galleon]], a siege proof indiaman designed to travel wherever they wanted.

A trend of ship battles had been started by [[JamminMas]] with a forum post. AppleJK did not want to take part in a sports game with his enemies. Instead, he would organize his own battles in the Juice Sea with guests he believes deserve a respectful approach. The Phantom crew was then disbanded and recreated a few weeks later. | A trend of ship battles had been started by [[JamminMas]] with a forum post.

===Selection Arc (February-May)=== | |||
In February 2017 the captain, AppleJK, mysteriously disappeared. The crew managed at first to advance in its building projects, but issues regarding friendly fire and killing between crewmates were creating high tension and continuous debates. MarcoHero, Batteria_ and francociccio tried to manage the situation with an iron fist. The crew needed guidelines and firm decisions, like Apple used to do. The future was not certain and several people were beginning to prefer external individual bases instead of town communities. After two months of turmoil and indecision, a fraction of the Juice Pirates left the crew and started its own. <br /> | |||
Apple returned the same day; he prohibited communication with the fugitives, forced the closure of new external bases, condemned every crewmate killer, provided a list of projects to do and quickly boosted the crew activity. A villager farm was created in Watermelon Dock, a giant wither-powered cobblestone and wood farm was built in Marula, the Apple Cove was finally planned. ''"The selection is done, the crew is now clean from softies. Who did not resist the turmoil of the crew ran away forming a new crew instead of helping its people. The ones who left are people who lack roots and identity. Mercenaries with no home. If you see that some aspect of your crew is bad, you need to improve it, not abandon it. And to improve it, there is only one way to do so: you have to improve people. And in order to improve people, you begin with only one thing: you can become better yourself."'' The fugitives were isolated, ignored and put under heavy pressure; they lacked arguments and it was proven that they were selfishly seeking nothing but their own wealth and pleasure. By leaving the crew, they were abandoning the pursuit to free the world from raiding. This example strengthened the crew as everybody understood the shame of opportunism.<br /> | |||
In may 2017 the journey on the [[Apple Galleon]] was resumed, heading from Jamaica to the Donor Sea. | |||
