[edit] So ... It's The End of the World, Huh?
The end of history has arrived. What are YOU gonna do? Do you:
a) Grab a weapon and start killing people randomly.
b) Join a faction, and join the war to establish good/evil/neutral in the next world.
c) Drink a lot, hang out on the beach, and go for long, pointless swims.
That's right, the answer is C!
[edit] Ain't Gonna Study War No More
So this is it. The eschaton. Bummer. Well, look on the bright side: Where else would you want to be for the end of the universe? We're stuck on a beautiful Caribbean island; we've got beautiful beaches galore; lots of booze and food; and, even a few girls. Why are we killing each other?
It's time to kick back, relax, and get some sand between our toes.
The Porto Diablo Aquatic Club was founded by an avid swimmer, partier and beach bum who got tired of being a pawn in the Elder Powers' little game. As our name suggests, we are based in the El Porto de Diablo section of Harper Island, but we tend to wander where ever our feet and flippers take us. Our goals are:
1. To explore new places and planes of existence, and go swimming.

2. Find and drink booze.
3. Find and eat food.
4. Socialize.
[edit] Er, What's the Point, Exactly?
Well, we think swimming, exploring, drinking and beaching it are fun, way more fun then fighting some gawd-awful war. Is there a point to shooting some random demon with a submachine gun? Won't he just come back pissed off?
[edit] What Do I Need to Join?
The only requirement for joining the club is that you renounce violence of all kinds. In fact, probably the only way to get kicked out is for us to hear that you've hurt somebody.
The Swim skill is encouraged but not necessary. In fact, the only other skills you might need are Search and Planar Protection. You can get those just by finding exploration Badges. First Aid might be helpful. Most of the other skills are aimed at making other people bleed, or else making weapons that make other people bleed.
If you're really serious about joining, don't expect to level much, maybe ever. You should be prepared to do some (not so) serious roleplaying, and have fun doing it.
If you're not into that, that's totally cool. There's a jazillion other Factions dedicated to whacking others for fun and profit.
[edit] Where's Our Stronghold?
Don't have one! Never will! Strongholds invite raids, and we're just not into that scene. If somebody wants to go around randomly killing us, who cares so long as we respawn close to a bar somewhere?
[edit] OK, So What Am I Supposed to Do?
Go for a hike! Swim the forgotten Caldera Sea! Marvel at the Ebony Towers of Stygia, or go chill in the Euphoria Asylum of Paradise. We won't be giving orders, or telling you what to do. If people actually wind up joining this thing, we'll start a journal in the Chafin Memorial Hospital section of the Nexus War Forums and tell our tales.
There will be no organized activities, and I will never send you a faction mail. We will most likely never even see each other. If you see W. Hodding Carter, say hello and he'll give you a club t-shirt.
We will not be actively recruiting people. If people randomly sign up, cool.
