'''Allying''' is a game mechanic that allows the player to be unable to deal damage to other players and their [[boats]].

==Mechanics==
Allying can be activated via the Ally Button near the home point button, it allows the user to request, accept or remove an alliance with other [[Pirates]]. In [[Marines]], the ally button will disappear, but they will be automatically allied with other Marines. If the player turns on [[Instinct]] and look at an allied player, they will appear with a green glow around them.

==Notes==
* Allied players' names will always show the username, not the display name.
* If the player is in a [[crew]], they will automatically be allied with other crew members. Even after un-allying someone in the crew, the crew member will be allied to the other crew member again when they die.
* If the player joins a [[raid]] with someone else, they will both be automatically allied.
** This also works with a Pirate and Marine glitching them to be Allies despite the Marines not being able to see or use the menu.
* If the player is a [[Marines|Marine]], they are unable to ally [[Pirates]].

==Trivia==
* There was a [[Glitches|glitch]] where if the user is a Marine and joins the [[Pirates]] team through the [[Pirate Recruiter]], the ally button will disappear.
* Allied players can only be damaged with [[Meme]].
* Allying is the only way for the player to ride a [[Love]] user's flamingo, a transformed [[Kitsune]] or a transformed [[Dragon]] with '''[[Dragon#Abilities|Strong Hair/Saddle]]'''. To get teleported by [[Portal]]'s {{Ability|Portal|C}} without getting allied, the player needs to be outside safe zone. (The player can also get teleported if both are in combat in safe zone.)
