Step 1
Community Experience
We ask everyone who attends to read and understand the Community Experience. This is the expectations we have all agreed to for each other. This document has taken the input from the community to create, and even today we still take input. This is why we call this a living document, as it is constantly changing to fit what the community sees is the best path for the community and the event at large. There is tons of critical information for you in there to ensure you have an excellent event.
Please don’t be that person who thinks I have been to tons events without issues and this will be no different. I am sure by the grace and compassion of others you will be fine without reading this, but why not take the time to read and enlighten yourself. When you stumble, you not only hurt yourself but other in our community. We are not going to blow sunshine at you. The read is long, especially compared to some other pirate or kink events. This is what makes us special and a community. We all play by the same book, The Community Experience. no special treatment. No favorites! The more you put into the event, the more you get back from the event.
Once you have read through the Community Experience once head to the next step. By purchasing a ticket you and your mates are agreeing to abide by the Community Experience. Consent is king in our world this is why this is our first step!
Step 2
Purchasing Your Tickets
This step is pretty straight forward, click on the ticket and it will take you to our store.
BEFORE you click the ticket icon you will need the following information for you and each of your mates your buying tickets for:
- Legal First Name
- Legal Last Name
- Email Address
- Pirate, Scene, or Event Name
- State Issued ID Number
- Telephone Number
Just so you know you are not just securing your tickets, but also providing the data for your NCA account. We automatically generate your account when you purchase your tickets. Guessing or shenanigans here can delay entry, cause banking issues, or potentially void entry without refund.
Once you have paid for your ticket, cum back here and head to the next step.
If you stop here you are NOT registered and will face shenanigans on site, you have been warned, and your fate is in your hands!
Step 3
Receiving your tickets, credentials, and receipt
Go to your email and locate the emails we just sent you. Their subject lines are:
- Congratulations on your first steps to adventure! (Credentials & Tickets)
- Your Barataria Bay order is now complete (Receipt)
Don’t delay, as soon as you purchase your tickets you should find these emails. Check in your spam folders. If that doesn’t work use your emails search function with the subject lines as the search query.
So you will need to print your tickets. There is additional information that is private to attendees only at the bottom of your email!!!! This is secret just between me and you, I have me eye on you.
If you found all your emails, head to step 4!
Step 4
Logging in to the NCA
Returning Attendees: If this is at least your second season with us and you remember your credentials you can head to the next step!
First Timers: Let’s get you educated on what the NCA is and get you logged in. Click the NCA logo, read the information about the NCA and when done, click the link at the bottom of that page and use your new credentials to login to the NCA module. Once logged in look around, this is your banking interface. You can transfer money to any attendee, bribe officials, and check your accounts here. Once you’re done poking around, cum back here and head to the next step.
Step 5
Volunteering
So step 5 is pretty easy. Click The House icon, read the description of the what and whys of volunteering, it’s an important step to registration. Then click the link at the bottom of that page. You will need your credentials to log in to the Volunteer module. Once logged in sign up for the shifts that excite you the most. We suggest a minimum of 4 hours. When complete your volunteering sign ups cum back here and head to the next step.
Step 6
Camping
This is the last step and like all the others, it is an important step to registering for the event. Everyone who attends will need a camping spot unless you are sleeping off site. Click the camping icon, read about our different camping opportunities. Once you’re done reading the page, click the Camping Reservation module button at the bottom. Log in, and reserve yourself a camping spot. Don’t forget to assign anyone who’s camping with you to your camp spot. Everyone must have a camp spot!
When you’re done that’s it! We assume that you have already seen the rest of our website prior to deciding to register. If not please take the time to visit the pages you haven’t seen. Every one of our pages has value to each of our attendees.
