I've finally activated the 'pirate plunder' feature that's been lurking for a
while now. Basically, pirates have a rep scale based on sinking ships, which
is (more or less) independent of the 'arr' rep scale. BTW, it is this 'pirate
prowess' scale that is used for the "Most Wanted" poster.
After boot, when a pirate plunders a ship, a portion of the booty is diverted
to the top 10 ranked pirates. This bonus is automatically collected a few
seconds after logging in.
This is one of my usual "yeah, this code should work" evenings, so this code
is untested and you should keep an eye out for bugs
As a side note, the booty was already being divided up, and the portion that
would have gone to the Brotherhood simply disappeared, so some of you more
active pirates may notice an increase in your overall takings
