Venue check in
You must be 18+ to be an Atlanta Volunteer or enjoy our activities such as sailing, scuba diving or socializing. We strongly agree with Georgia SB 351 that you should be 18+ to enter any social media site. Click on the loony menu above to donate at least $1 with PayPal to prove you are 18. 
There are many places that don't allow dogs.  The Pirate dive bar doesn't allow people at the "Great American State Fair." Pretend you are a scurvy dog to enter. 
"Pirates" are live at the venue.  "Monarchy" are people not at the venue but have checked into it.   Who can you  trust, who will mutiny and who are spies?
Today's check in photo is the only clue for you being a Pirate or the Monarchy. Don't show your face, unless it is some sort of a trick, false flag move, psyops or your latest attempt at catfishing.
Look at the top right balance > loony history.  
You can find treasure with good cheer, good deeds, by chance, with skill, by solving mysteries on a treasure map or volunteering for your country.
There are three skill levels.  Scurvy dog, Carnival Barker and Working Dog.
Scurvy dogs need no training as all they do is wander around the carnival trading their loony booty for fun, food, entertainment and adventure. Their only strategy is to try to get their paws on some booty before anyone else does. The biggest booty wins, but all they can do is "Get Loony" from PayPal.
Carnival Barkers need training.  They create the carnival booths, games, smells, food, prizes and excitement of the carnival.  They create the reasons why Scurvy Dogs visit PayPal to "Get Loony." Carnival barkers go to their dashboard to create the loony coupons the scurvy dogs click on.  Carnival barkers get scurvy dogs to "Surrender the booty." Carnival barkers "get loony" every time a scurvy dog clicks on one of their loony coupons. This makes their booty bigger, and the biggest booty wins!  The first thing you see at any carnival booth is the prizes.  You also see what the country looks like.  A carnival barkers country page should look spectacular!  The first thing a Carnival barker should do is create loony coupons for booty or booby prizes and then the games. All their loony coupons show up at their country and the venues they check into. Carnival barkers can recycle their loony booty to win cash and prizes without ever going to PayPal.  ("Recycling" pays out at a much higher rate than having subscribers, likes or followers. There is no qualification or paperwork.) The nine ways to recycle for cash are explained in our mission video.  Go to your dashboard, click on loony coupon then recycling to learn more.
A Working dog is too busy working to play at the carnival.  They can earn the most cash and adventure as they can be part of the TV series called "Special Heroes."  Working dogs are the "Atlanta Volunteers."  They volunteer for their community and can be paid as cast or crew on the TV series "Special Heroes." See over 20 years of history and over a 1,000 volunteer events with links on our about page.   
A working dogs primary mission is to help a Special Hero turn into a Super Hero.  
Working dogs have much more training than a carnival barker as they have attended Pirate School to know how to become part of a crowd sourced TV series called "Special Heroes" and be paid as an agent, cast, crew or coach.  They might even win a door prize and be part of the Grand Prize episode and cast party adventure in the tropics.
Congratulations!  Grab a dog, check - in.  Play or go on a treasure hunt!  You can do training later!

There is no computer animation, you play with real people doing real things in their community. Your goal is to turn Special Heroes into Super Heroes. You accomplish this with volunteer activities.
A venue is like a volunteer fire station. Instead of water you use good cheer and good deeds to save people.
Find or create a venue close to where you live. An HOA clubhouse is an example. You plan online and one or two times a year you volunteer to show up for a few hours just like a volunteer fireman. Instead of fighting fires, you are saving people in a different way.
Scurvy Dogs
Good cheer creates good deeds.
There are three different activities. Two types of players and three types of moderation.
The three activities are the Atlanta Volunteers, Pirate School and Carnival booth.
The two types of players are Pirates and Monarchy. Pirates are live players at a location. The Monarchy are online players who have checked into that same location. Live players, the Pirates may squabble with each other but they are all trying to mutiny against the Monarchy.
The three types of moderation are Sailor, Landlubber and Pirate.
Sailor is used for almost everything. It is "G" rated, family friendly with no sailor talk. If it is borderline "PG" it is not sailor rated.
Landlubber is everything that you would find in a sports bar in the golden age of Piracy. Cussing, smoking, drinking, gambling, whoremongering and gambling on the whoremongering.
Pirates are innocent of
There is something sneaky you can do.  We do not verify email addresses.  This means you can make as many different accounts as you want.  We regularly delete unused accounts.  Create a second or third registration so you can share you login and password.  This allows for team play on one account.  The reason why the internet goes to great lengths to verify you is that they sell your information.  We don't!  So have fun!
When a team is logged in to train a dog.  It can be a lot of fun creating the booty and booby prizes for challenges and contests.   Your team puts the best training against the other teams.  What dog will know the best tricks and win the most points?  Live players (Pirates) at a venue always play against the online players (Monarachy).
You train a dog by creating or selecting games, challenges and defaults. This could be for songs you will sing for the karaoke challenge game, B-roll you want to shoot for Special Heroes, Pirate school activities and more.
Checking in with a new dog is a lot easier than logging in to a website needing difficult verification.  This lets you create false flag plays or mutinies by switching the dogs back and forth.  You don't even have to tell your team that is still logged into one dog, that they are now playing against you running with another pack.  This is a false flag play and a mutiny.  
If you rarely have time to visit your favorite sports bar, you can check in online, do a few activities, get to know people then you will have an instant group of friends to play with when you walk through the door's weeks later.

Learn about the 3 breeds of scurvy dogs
There are three types of scurvy dogs, Sailors, Landlubbers and Pirates.
Sailors only see sailors,  Landlubbers only see landlubbers and pirates can only see pirates.  To see everything at the Pirate Dive Bar, you need to adopt at least three dogs.  You can adopt as many as you want.
Sailors are 99.9% good dogs and family friendly.  The best dog!  This is for most activities.
Landlubbers are honest and good 50% of the time.  These dogs will cuss, drink, smoke and gamble when they are not getting into trouble at the Pirate Dive Bar.
Pirates are 99.9% innocent of anything you accuse them of.
These three types of dogs can belong to the live players called Pirates or the online players called the Monarchy.  They can also be working dogs called "The Atlanta Volunteers."
Advanced play for working dogs - Your Mission
Turn a Special Hero into a Super Hero! You complete your mission by volunteering to help create "blocks" for the TV series "Special Heroes," or volunteer to support the community where you live.
Mission Details
Historically, scurvy dog Pirates created a mutiny against the Monarchy to form the USA.  
Our mutiny will help people born with special powers such as Down syndrome, spina bifida and autism turn into Super heroes!
A TV series called “Special Heroes” tells the story of scurvy dogs and their mission to turn special heroes into Super heroes!
Only the blocks made by Sailors can be used for the TV series.  
Sailors are 99.9% good so they only share things that are good. The moderation is “G” and if it is borderline PG they don’t share it. Everything is 99.9% legal for copyrights, trademarks, waivers and the work done is in a safe environment.  "Booty" is the only type of treasure sailors can get their paws on.
Landlubbers might produce the work of sharing 50% of the time. Landlubbers can be found in pirate dive bars cussing, drinking, smoking, fighting, whoremongering and gambling on the whoremongering while the monarchy censors their free speech and jolly good fun!  They can get their paws on Booty and Booby prizes.
Pirates are innocent 99.9% of the time of getting their paws on your booty. Pirates are punished with booby prizes for their innocence.
Pirates are the inspiration for the good cheer we call raw comedy. Scurvy dogs go to PayPal to get some "loony booty," then surrender the booty to carnival barkers.  Carnival barkers make excellent snake oil salesmen, catfishers, politicians and judge contests by taking bribes.
Pirates VS Monarchy
Pirates are live at the venue. The Monarchy rules from afar. A fun photo taken the last time somebody checked in may help Pirates decide who is who.  Can you sniff out mutiny, false flag plays and the worst of all the monarchy, Queen Karen. (Known for evil spells made while clutching her magic pearls that sap joy from comedy writers, cosplay, rehearsals and script writing.)
Own at least two dogs
At least one sailor! You can adopt as many scurvy dogs as you want.
How to use multiple dogs and multiple accounts.
Consider creating more than one registration and sharing the username and password to create team play.  We do not require a real eamil! This lets a whole team divide up the tricks the dog will learn.
Your team puts the best training of your scurvy dog against the trained dogs of other teams.  What dog will know the best tricks and win the most points? 
Live players (Pirates) at a venue always play against the online players (Monarachy) even though pirates squabble and play fight amongst themselves.
You train a dog by creating or selecting games, challenges and defaults. This could be for songs you will sing for the karaoke challenge game, B-roll you want to shoot for Special Heroes, Pirate school activities and more.
You don't have to tell your team that is still logged into one dog, that they are now playing against you running with another pack.  This is a false flag play and a mutiny and has been used throughout history to create war or malicious office gossip.

Step by step instructions
Go to your dashboard.  Create a loony coupon for a prize.  You will see it listed on your country page.
Display the QR code (flag) of your country on your phone.  When somebody scans it they go to your country.  If they like the loony coupons they see they will press the register button found on your country page.
Your register button will list you as their bootymaster and they will be your citizen.  You can see your citizens in your dashboard.
As soon as you can earn 120 loonies,  use them to become an agent or donate to PayPal to get 120 loonies. ($30)  Agent instructions are found in your dashboard.  You must be an agent before one of your citizens registers, to get paid if they become cast or crew.  If they are paid, you are paid 10% of what they earn on the same day they are paid.  Your citizens can also become agents.  You will be paid 10% of the 10% they are paid on payday.  This goes on down the chain until the payout amount is less than ten dollars.
Being an Agent will stop once all 30 episodes have qualified!  This is when we move from pre-production to production.  You should do this now if it is still available.
You will get 1% of episode gross if you find a Coach for an episode.  We are looking for 30 coaches. This is some very serious money especially if you find more than one coach.
Carnival, corporate, safety, parade and TV production training has been gamified so that any scurvy dog can learn it.
On the Treasure page, create a volunteer venue at your apartment clubhouse, favorite sports bar or any place close to you especially if it is walking distance.
In the next 6 months or so, your goal is to form a very small team of 3 or more dedicated volunteers. You will probably also have a larger team of less dedicated volunteers.  Your mission is to have each person think of at 1 good deed your team can organize each year.  Keep it simple, like 1 hour of general clean up until you think of some great projects.  Keep it non political and altruistic for the best results.  Once you get a little practice, see if there is anything you can do to help other venues with turning a Special Hero into a Super Hero.
The activities listed below will help you spread good cheer and good deeds to accomplish your mission.

"When you open the front doors to a venue, 99% of dogs are untrained and are found in a pack.  1% of the trained dogs show up behind the other doors."
You started to have fun by adopting a scurvy dog.  You might even visit your shelter to adopt one.  99% of Scurvy dogs have no training and only need two clicks for this website.  They are like the crowd at a carnival.  Their first click is on a picture the second click is on "Send Good Cheer."  They see their loony balance at the top right of their screen and when they run out of points, they donate through PayPal to "Get Loony."
If you are part of the 99% - Congratulations! You completed your training, now go play!
If you train your dog, you can become part of the 1% and find or bury treasure.  You will also learn how to "Get Loony" by joining our mission to turn Special Heroes into Super Heroes!  
The skills you check off create your "Special Heroes" resume.  Anyone can view your resume.  The primary use is so that a Coach can form a team to produce an episode of "Special Heroes."
There are many other team building ways to use your resume.  You could be a boat captain looking to build a team for the boat parade, a performer looking to build a skit for the karaoke challenge game, Pirate School and volunteer events for your community.
Be sure to explore your Pirate School Report card to learn vital production skills for "Special Heroes."

More about Special Heroes, Sailors, Landlubbers & Pirates
Once again, sailors only see sailors, landlubbers only see landlubbers and Pirates only see Pirates.  If you want to spy on another group you have to change dogs and check in again.
Sailor, Landlubber and Pirate have another definition when used with the TV series called “Special Heroes.”
Sailor is like being “G” rated and safe for families.  It has no copyright, trademark or legal issues (permission, location, liability etc.) as Sailor also describes content legal for broadcast that has no cussing and is appropriate for everyone.  Sailor is the only type of content we use for the TV series Special Heroes.  If you are borderline “PG” you are not Sailor rated.  If you have music in the background, a logo on a T-shirt, or the legal standards are not met then you do not meet the Standards for Sailor.
Sailor can also describe the highest levels for safety and education.  If you are teaching CPR, scuba or sailing and people can’t hear you because of the noise, you are not in a Sailor environment.  You must be at least 18 years old to enter this website as the first thing you have to do is sign GDPR consent to store information.  You can not sign a legal document if you are not at least 18 years old. You can also not be a rescuer or volunteer as you must be at least 18 years old for that.
21 and over is for Landlubber or Pirate activities.  Landlubber is like you are in a sports bar.  There could be smoking, drinking and adult situations but you are generally well behaved adults.
Pirate is where carnival barkers go to play and make Karen walk the plank.  Carnival barkers  share ideas to develop the games, challenges, skits, volunteering and themes for carnival booths.  You also share ideas to create the comedy bumpers and other content for the TV series.  The Pirate section is like you are in a comedy club that can have any type of untested raw, offensive comedy usually committed by somebody guilty of drinking and typing.  Pirate is also for the testing and rehearsal of scripts, costumes, characters and any type of comical experiment you want to try.  You can test any genre for any type of production and make any political statement you want.  Practice false flag moves, psyops and our favorite mutiny.
All three types of dogs work and play to support our mission to turn Special Heroes into Super heroes!
Special Heroes have their developmental or physical super powers present at birth.  Physical super powers are obvious.  Developmental super powers mean you have been in a special program all through your education.  If you are borderline or hard to determine than you don’t meet our definition of Super Hero.  If your development lets you graduate elementary school with a normal graduation diploma, you have not met the standard for Special Hero.

Go to the treasure page.  Find a venue or create one. Check in to the venue.  Press “Display the flag” to display a QR code on your phone. When somebody scans your QR code they go to the venue page you checked into.  If they press the register button you gain a citizen. If they are already registered you could gain a volunteer.
Quickstart
Walk through the front doors of a venue, open a door to an activity. You will see the scurvy dogs trained for that activity. If there are not enough trained dogs, play the Tramp Stamp Game to get more.
When you open the door to an activity you see "Todays Check in Photo" of every trained dog for that activity. Since the check in photo should be mysterious and does not have to include a face, you use it to answer these questions. 
Is that scurvy dog here today? Is this somebody online playing from home? Is that an old check in photo or one they use all the time?  Can I trust that scurvy dog not to mutiny, run a false flag play or be a spy?
The scurvy dogs that are live at a venue are a team called "Pirates." The people playing online are a team called the "Monarchy." Pirates squabble amongst themselves but always fight for independence against the Monarchy. This can includes battles at the carnival booth, Pirate School trivia, Pirate School rank, Boat parade competitions, Karaoke Challenge Game, the Knotty Nauti Photo Contest & more.  The mysterious check in photo is your only clue to avoiding or starting treachery on the high seas.
Viral marketing to gather players at your backyard party, sports bar or apartment clubhouse
Show a QR code on your phone.  Have somebody scan it.  You have just created a viral challenge room for the location you are in.
You are called a country. Your QR code is called your flag.  A person that scans your flag becomes your citizen.  Think of a citizen as a subscriber or a follower except with more functions. "Recycling" is how volunteers can get cash tips.  Social media sites pay out hundreds of millions to make billions.  Recycling is our method of compensation. (There are 9 ways to recycle cash as explained in our mission video.)
Immediately after a citizen registers, your citizen becomes a country with their own flag.  They can immediately display their flag on their phone and gather their own citizens. The viral race is on for your backyard party, apartment clubhouse or sports bar as once somebody is a citizen, no other country can claim them.  A citizen can  become a volunteer after they scan another countries flag. 
This is called the “Tramp Stamp Game.”  Besides using your phone screen, you can wear your flag as temporary tattoo or as a sticker on your clothing, a business card, a link on your social media, a bumper sticker or anything you can think of to gather citizens.
You and your citizens are now all in the same challenge and chat room that we call a “Volunteer Venue.”  Do you need somebody for a Karaoke duet, a sea shanty, a game of darts, volunteering for your community or want to talk about your business? 
There are a lot of communication tools you can use to get your message out to people in any noisy crowded location and you can see everyone checked into that venue.  You can also see packs of scurvy dogs by city, state and country.
The best place to create a volunteer venue is at your apartment clubhouse or any place within walking distance or that you frequent.  After a few months, viral marketing with the Tramp Stamp Game  may have reached most people around there. Your goal is to communicate with people that live close to you.
You could for example post a kids toy exchange, request help for changing a tire or moving furniture.  You can even plan for celebrations and parties months in advance.  The best part is that you do not see any advertising as this free website is operated by a nonprofit called the Atlanta Volunteers. Our mission is to spread good cheer and good deeds that turn Special Heroes into Super Heroes.
Once you register you will see that creating good cheer and good deeds with people that live close to you is the treasure you will find at  “The Pirate Dive Bar.
About this trick - Your communication preferences are called Bark.  For example you are out to lunch or don't want to be disturbed.  Carnival barking is advertising and live streaming.   
Bark also contains the "Tramp Stamp Game."   This viral marketing game uses a QR code to increase traffic to all your social media accounts and adds a second revenue stream to them.
Carnival Barking lets you learn things that all carnival barkers, Mermaids, boats in a parade and cast and crew of the TV series "Special Heroes" should know.
Bark 99% can do this
You display a QR code on your phone and somebody scans it.  They see whatever the information and links you want to share.  Go to your dashboard > QR.  
Carnival Barking 1% can do this
Carnival barking turns a loony coupon into a carnival booth.  
You will need to create at least one loony coupon.  (Dashboard > Loony Coupon) All the loony coupons you make show up on your TAVE.   If your loony coupon is for an event it also shows up there.
Bark - 99% of scurvy dogs can simply check these boxes
Carnival Barking - 1% of scurvy dogs can solve these treasure chest mysteries
A loony coupon is the fun.  Carnival barking is the advertising.
Carnival barking lets online players play along with live players.  If you were at a county fair and added a loony coupon for the games, you could add carnival barking for online players.
A QR code creates a carnival booth on the web or at a physical location such as an apartment clubhouse, sports bar or tent.  An interactive carnival booth can even be on a parade float or on a boat in a boat parade.  You can visit carnival booths in person or by live streaming to them.
We start by explaining how we share volunteers, events and donors with other nonprofits.  The volunteers who create the carnival booths are rewarded for fund raising and volunteering with something we call “recycling.”  Recycling will be explained later but is an important motivation to make anyone volunteer to be a “carnival barker”.
The Atlanta Volunteers has designed  the Pirate Dive Bar website so that it can be shared with other nonprofits.  Our PayPal email address info@atlantavolunteers.org is removed and the PayPal email address of another nonprofit is put into this website for the duration of their event.  After their event is over, info@atlantavolunteers.org is put back in until another nonprofit wants to borrow this web site.
100% of the donation goes into the PayPal account for the featured nonprofit.  PayPal has different rates for nonprofits but generally it is 1.99% + .50 cents.  For every 25 cents that somebody donates, they get one volunteer reward point.  We call those points “Loonies.”  This is short for a pirate coin called a “Dubloon.”  The loonies you have is called your “booty.”
Every donation is listed on a Public ledger under the username of the donor.  PayPal sends a donation receipt to each donor and keeps track of all their donations for taxes.
The Pirate Dive Bar isn’t for every nonprofit.  You must be verified by PayPal and volunteer to help our mission to turn 30 special heroes into 30 Super Heros every year.
The Atlanta Volunteers will share the website for up to 30 nonprofits every year, one for each weekly episode of the TV series called “Special Heroes.”
Because PayPal handles the credit cards, everything on the piratedivebar.com website is 100% transparent.  This is why we allow a bogus name and email to be used for registration.  Verification is done through PayPal where you have to use your real email and name and go through their verification.  You do not need a PayPal account to donate.
Each time the Atlanta Volunteers shares piratedivebar.com with another nonprofit, the donor base for all nonprofits grow.  The viewer base for the TV series “Special Heroes” also grows.
Most nonprofits have a method of rewarding volunteers and paying fund raisers. Our method is called “recycling.”  It is an amazing way to reward volunteers and donors.
You can recycle with a shark or a Mermaid.
Mermaids are servers or waitstaff at restaurants.  Mermaids can also be any volunteer at any “Volunteer Venue.”  You meet Mermaids person.  Sharks are unpredictable predators that you meet online.
You should recycle with a Mermaid as they have a lot of word of mouth advertising and a great way to recycle their loony booty for cash.
A Mermaids siren song is word of mouth advertising with patrons in their restaurant or volunteer venue.   If Mermaids take a few minutes to understand how recycling gives them a second way to get tips, completely separate from the food bill, they will start singing their siren song  to lure sailors to their treasure chest (scan a QR code) and then into doom (register).
The only skill a Mermaid needs is to go to their dashboard then click on "Loony Coupon."  In about a couple of minutes they can create treasure for their treasure chest.  Each time somebody sees their treasure chest and clicks "Send Good Cheer," the Mermaids booty gets bigger.  The Mermaid creates a loony coupon for recycling to get cash before or after the food bill, even when they are not at work.  If a Mermaid can get more cash tips by recycling her loony booty, this will be very effective viral marketing as all the servers in any restaurant will want to do it.
Here is a typical example. On Mondays the restaurant has a special on wings,  $3 off.  The Mermaid asks her manager is she can offer that special on Fridays to support special heroes.  She makes a loony coupon that says "Donate $1 get $3 off."  $1 is 4 loonies.  Each time somebody presses "Send Good Cheer,"  the Mermaids booty grows by 4 loonies.  After a month she may have a booty 1,000 loonies big.  This represents $250 in fundraising she was a part of.   If she trades a 1,000 loonies for $50 to $100 it is cash she keeps.  If the Patron saw a loony coupon that is 1,000 loonies for a scuba lesson, they can save money by recycling with a Mermaid.  Loonies shrink by 15% each time they are recycled, so after about 5 times they are pretty small and somebody will have to donate again.  The only difference is that recycled loonies are not tax deductible.  That is only with new loonies through PayPal.  Recycling is how volunteer fund raisers are paid without nonprofits spending money they received from donations.  
When you donate with PayPal you get 1 loony for every 25 cents you donate.  When you recycle with a Mermaid or Shark you pay in cash whatever recycling price they come up with probably 10 or 15 cents a loony.
Here is another story to describe how recycling works for volunteers doing anything.
The Humane Society has decided to borrow the Piratedivebar.com website for a week.  You test this with a $5 donation.  PayPal shows you the name of the Humane Society and you see the donation is going to them.  You verify that everything works as planned and you see that PayPal has emailed you a receipt for a donation to the Humane Society and you got 20 loonies in your account.
Loony coupons change loonies into fun and games.  Anyone can create a loony coupon for anything and any amount of loonies.
You decide to wash cars for 40 loonies to fund raise for the Humane Society.
A loony coupon starts with a picture, so you use a picture of a dog washing a car.   When somebody clicks on the picture they see a variety of choices but one of those is “Send Good Cheer.” When somebody clicks loonies go from their account into your account to pay for the car wash.  A receipt shows on their phone screen, an entry is made in your public ledger and the ledger of the other person. Every bodies ledger is 100% transparent to the public as no credit card information is ever asked for or used at the Pirate Dive Bar.  PayPal is the only company that sees it.
If somebody washes 10 cars they would have 400 loonies and we would say their “Booty” is 400 loonies big.  The biggest booty always wins!
Loony coupons can be made for anything.  This includes prizes for fun and games that we call “Booty Prizes.”  A loony coupon can also create a “Booby Prize.”  Getting a Booby Prize is like walking the plank for a pirate.
To get your car washed you show the receipt on your phone or the volunteer checks their ledger.  You notice that a volunteer has created a loony coupon for a bicycle.  They want 200 loonies for the bicycle.  The person washing cars can trade 200 loonies of their booty for the bicycle or they could recycle their “loony booty” so you can get the bicycle.  Instead of the 25 cents per loony through PayPal they decide to recycle for 10  cents a loony.  You can donate $50 through PayPal for 200 loonies or give $20 cash to the volunteer.  The volunteer can transfer of loonies with a QR code, loony coupon or with a with a or widget found on the “Pirates” page.  The transfer widget is called “Bribe.”
Recycling creates a reason for people to volunteer at carnival booths.  Each time loonies are recycled they shrink by 15%.  You can recycle them about 5 times then they have lost so much value that somebody will have to donate again through PayPal to keep the fun going.
When you create a loony coupon you “bury treasure.”  When you click on a loony coupon you “find treasure.”  The QR code for the loony coupon is the treasure map.  If you want to be creative you can create an actual treasure map to treasure you have buried or hidden.
Besides sharing the website, we also share events.  Look at the flyer for the “Knotty Nauti Photo Contest and Bakery Challenge.”  By putting your QR code in place of ours you can reprint your own flyer or create business cards from the middle section.  If you create an event, you should design it so that anyone can use it.
In the next trick your scurvy dog can learn, we show how the “Knotty Nauti Photo Contest and bakery challenge” are events that you can create or share with any nonprofits.
About the Knotty Nauti Photo Contest and Bakery Challenge - This is an example of how you can create generic contests that anyone can use.  We want you scurvy dogs to create more!  Upload your generic flyer so people can change the QR code and use it for their fund raising or carnival booth.  You can create free activities, paid activities, gambling with loonies, auctions and use loonies any way you want to.
Special Heroes are often judged by their appearance. This trick illustrates why you should not judge by appearances.  Some Special Heroes have unusual behavior that you have to consider.  It can be beyond your ability, so you do have to judge, but you should consider having some grace. 
Complete the baking challenge and upload your knotty nauti pictures. Ask somebody “Do you want to see my knotty nauti pictures.”  For giggles, you can catch their reactions on hidden camera asking them about seeing knotty nauti photos.  You could also show them your loony booty.  Take it to the next level and have your church, school or fire department hold a “Knotty Nauti Photo Contest.”  You will get a lot of shocked reactions!  People will judge you of being bad and want you to think they are the good ones.  BTW, who had their mind in the gutter and heard "Naughty Photos" instead of "Knotty Photos?"
The next step is to transfer that knowledge. Make a video lesson about judging Special Heroes and post it to your social media.  If you have learned the trick of how to speak, your citizens grow here and your subscribers grow on whatever social media you have.  If you have become an Agent for Special Heroes, your chance of winning 1% of episode gross increases as your citizens increase from sharing with your social media and linking to the Pirate Dive Bar with the “Tramp Stamp” game. 
The event flyer for the Knotty Nauti Photo Contest shows you how to create a generic flyer that any nonprofit can use.  No dates, names, places or other identity information is displayed.  We all know how to scan QR codes. In the top middle you see a photo the size of a business card.  Create a business card for the generic flyers you create.  Anyone can screen copy that picture, change the QR code and print business cards.
If you want to include specific information on your flyer, consider making two flyers.  One for you and a generic flyer to share with everyone.
Create a loony coupon for your contest.  Paste your country or venue QR code on your flyer.  People donate to your favorite nonprofit so they can vote up or down and make you loony.  If you are loony enough, grab some booty or booby prizes with a Mermaids treasure chest. 
Make sure your Mermaid has a big treasure chest so she can lure sailors into doom.  Have volunteers at your venue create treasure for the treasure chest.

Karaoke Challenge Game
Spontaneous or rehearsed, these are the two ways to play the Karaoke Challenge Game.  For spontaneous games you look at a persons preferences and join them.  For a rehearsed performance you choose from a variety of games.  It could take a full night of planning or it could go on for weeks and months before you achieve your goal.
The Karaoke Challenge Game starts with a simple way to add fun and volunteers to your karaoke.  This leads to forming a production team using a little bit of planning and rehearsing online between karaoke nights. This leads your team to producing social media for much more than just karaoke.   
Recycling is a way to add viral marketing (Tramp Stamp Game) and a second revenue stream to any social media you have.
Making your social media successful will lead people back to the Pirate Dive Bar.  This will help us with our mission to turn Special Heroes into Super Heroes!

Types of Karaoke Games you will play
Types of Karaoke
How you win all these games is the same. You “Get Loony” then exchange loonies for prizes.
Simple Karaoke
Simple Karaoke lets you use a half dozen communication tools in noisy bars such as chat, zoom messaging and more to contact others and create fun Karaoke performances.
One tool that we are proud of is our “QR code” catfishing equipment. This is a sheet of temporary tattoos that are QR codes that link to your page at the Pirate Dive Bar. Decide on where you will place the tattoo and then dare somebody to scan it with their phone. (they are one click away from video or photo while the phone is scanning) Other people will see this and all of a sudden you get very popular as you catfish loonies.
You can lock portions of the your page with a password that you can change when you want and charge people loonies for it. You can only find loonies at the Pirate Dive Bar and the QR tattoo should be perfect bait to catfish for them. Read the “What is an epiphany” to find out how to sell your loony booty for cash.
With good care the temporary tattoo could last 4 weeks or more. You can also print your QR code on business cards or a sheet of paper cut and taped to a surface.
You do not have to create an epiphany but you do have to login to use chat, zoom, trade points, leave messages or use other features. For example on chat or zoom you might say “Can anyone help me sing “Meant to be” by Bebe Rexa. People on chat or zoom can respond or if you made an epiphany they can leave a comment. This lets you easily find dancers, photographers, back up singers, air bands and more to have fun on stage.
Performance Karaoke
This is where you re-use the same epiphany week after week to improve your performance. You can use the livestream feature to get online feedback and provide library links for video of previous performances. People who record you can post a link to their library on your epiphany so you can see what you look like. People can leave comments on all aspects of your performance. With your library links available anyone online will be able to edit and add graphics to your video then post the new clip on your epiphany. With performance Karaoke you are letting everyone help your performance improve over time by adding costume, dance, photography and many other suggestions. You will have the video library to see the results.
We encourage you to use performance Karaoke to produce a 5 to 30 second clip or comedy bumper for the TV series “Special Heroes” once you practice using it with the Karaoke Challenge Game.
Karaoke Challenge Game
The biggest booty wins! Everybody is trying to catfish loonies to make their booty bigger.
During a Catfishing Tournament your epiphany only shows actions, challenges and content you created. During an Open game you can use actions, challenges and content anybody created. You buy and sell the actions and challenges to get loony on stage. You create actions and challenges on the “Options” page. Then you or other people can use them.
You have one tool that lets you “Mutiny Against Crime,” this is a booty search.
Everybody has their own public ledger. Every bribe and every bribe message they send or receive can be seen on this ledger when you do a booty search. By scanning their activity you can determine how often they catfish somebody and how often they comply with the challenges they are given or pay the bets they owe. This is no guarantee you won’t be catfished but it gives you an idea. You use a booty search to “Mutiny Against Crime,” and avoid being catfished.
Gambling should be a part of everything you do at the pirate dive bar and there are two ways to gamble, with or without a Bootymaster.
Without a Bootymaster you could say 100 loonies the Braves win against the Dodgers (who really suck BTW) You send 1 loony to the other person with that message. They send the message back saying “Agreed”. If there is not a 100 loony transfer at the end of the game, the booty search would show that the winner was catfished. A booty search would let you avoid making a bet with that person or encourage you to catfish them with some wild pirate scheme.
Other games call them bankers, we call them Bootymasters. In the scenario above both players could have transferred 100 loonies each to the Bootymaster. That could be it, both players might have just been catfished. In the unlikely event they were not, the Bootymaster would give a fraction of the bet to the rightful winner and claim taxes and fees on the winnings.
Bootymasters are anyone that has posted an epiphany and anyone that can convince you they are the real bootymaster.
You can use a team approach to get booty. Share your login with one or a bunch of players. They can be a mix of live and online players. They put suggestions together of what the Bootymaster wants you to do to catfish loonies. They can create false profiles to set up a catfishing scheme to run side bets with other players to catfish them.
Anyone you share your login and can “Mutiny.” That is they transfer loonies into their account or somebody unsuspecting to frame them. You can follow the money trail with a Booty search. The more people you share your login with, the better ideas your team gets to develop elaborate catfishing schemes for loonies but the greater chance you have of mutiny.
As the Karaoke performer, you are now the catfishing bait and the Bootymaster is the catfisher. You are using a team approach to catfishing loonies. If you are at a sports bar livestreaming to online players this can be very effective.
How you score with your loony booty is up to you. You can score Prizes, Booby prizes or score on the leaderboard. Prizes are listed on the loony page under treasure. Booby prizes are only found on epiphanies. The leaderboard is found on the loony page under Boat Parade.
There is only one rule at the Pirate dive bar “You lose.” There are no do-overs, mistakes or mulligans. You use the “bribe” widget, transfer loonies to another player and then expect nothing in return. If you were not catfished you are probably just being led down the garden path for an even bigger catch.
You may resolve your situation by giving a larger bribe than the one you lost to any Bootymaster. They can decide to screw you over too or award a Booby prize randomly to somebody. With or without knowing what the booby prize is, everyone can bid for it and include conditions in the message. If you do not win the bid, you do not get your loonies back, why would you? The Bootymaster can choose the bribe and the conditions they like or just keep collecting loonies and screw everyone over while describing how wonderful the booby prize is. According to the catfishing strategy the Bootymaster has, at some point they make a decision or not and that’s probably final.
The person that gets the booby prize can bribe any other Bootymaster to get rid of it or award it to somebody else. Booby prizes can be listed in secret or described as wonderful or terrible. What the prize actually ends up being will probably be part of a catfishing strategy to get loony and make everyone want the next booby prize.
Flash Mob Karaoke
You need a code phrase for the Karaoke Challenge Game. This is to distract people that don’t know what is going on. As you get on stage, before your song starts you say three things. The first is your username or stage name. The second is the word “Codeword” the last is your code phrase. When you say the word “CODEWORD” you say it loud enough to wake people up to know what is coming. The code phrase is just to confuse people that don’t know what is going to happen. The word “codeword” tells everyone they have permission to come to the stage and improvise during your song. Air guitar, dance routines, dancing, back up singers, photography, pretending you are a groupie, anything at all.
Pirate Raid
After a few months of playing the Karaoke Challenge game at your local bar, enough people will have learned the software and know what is going on. A dozen or so people all practiced, rehearsed and knowing what epiphanies each person in the group is going to perform, your gang takes the show on the road to unsuspecting landlubbers peacefully singing and getting drunk at their home port. Your purpose is to make your gang bigger.
Pirate Initiation
This is where you become a patriotic pirate. You do not have to do it on stage but you can. This is described in detail here. https://piratedivebar.com/treasure29/ Part of the initiation is singing the Drunken Sailor Song. The initiate must create a new verse for the song and sing it. This is song as a group and people play any instrument they can create. This includes spoons, kazoos, tapping on beer bottles and any improvised instrument.
Sea Shanty Karaoke
Sea Shanty Karaoke is typically the Drunken Sailor Song but you can use any Sea Shanty Song. One part of the song must include a pirate jig. If it is the Drunken sailor song, you should encourage audience participation possibly even a pirate jig line dance and use improvised instruments.
Hero Karaoke
Hero Karaoke is something very special. Once a group of people understand how flash mob karaoke and performance Karaoke work, they combine them. The song they will practice and rehearse will be part of a professional video production at a special time and place.
The flash mob will sing a favorite song of a Hero born with special powers. The Hero won’t know the flash mob will happen but the family and friends of the Hero will. They will suggest the song. In a public place or natural setting secret photographers and secretly miked performers will be standing by. The Heroes family will hide a microphone or two around the Hero. The family will get the Hero to sing whatever they can just in range of one flash mob performer who just happens to be in the area. (with permission from a hospital or treatment area this might be very special) The first flash mob performer acts surprised and starts singing along with the Hero. Others join in and the flash mob happens. The Hero is congratulated, cheered, treated as a celebrity and everybody wants to be their friend. This would create copycats (which we want) and more good cheer in the world. This would also create a clip for the TV series “Special Heroes”.
