On the first day of Avery being a pirate he held a meeting with the 85 men who decided they would be a part of his crew. Avery announced that the profit that they would receive would not be for Houblon. It would be a way for them to provide for them and their families. He wanted to go to Madagascar to trade with natives who would trade food and other things they would need with them. He said that they would raid ships and towns all over the Indian Ocean and Caribbean. When they were done raiding they would quietly go back to England with all of their loot. All of the men agreed and decided that Avery should be their pirate. They decided to split the plunder pretty equally. They decided that Avery would only get one extra share. They would make all of their biggest decisions democratically, but during combat whatever Avery said would go. They renamed the ship that they over threw the Fancy.
