Ranks & Insignia

The Cannonball Crew employs a military-style rank system and other elements to enhance the game's role-playing and meta-gaming aspects. Participation and performance is rewarded not only with hearty rounds of whiskey and beer, but also with much sought after hardware like patches, stripes, medals and ribbons that are proudly adorned by Crew members. We like to have everyone looking their best in the game and on our forum. Here you will learn how to outfit yourself with a proper Cannonball Crew uniform that involves updating your character's profile and your forum signature.
