  1. Thank you for your contribution. I to think this is a fair and reasonable request. Maybe the diplomats should look at discussing this? Surely there can be an in house resolution to this problem which would see the EU based Brits stationed for the fights the Spaniards can attend. As an Australasian time zone player I too know the feeling getting up early and going to bed late to achieve some things. I look forward to an easier system. Regards, Ravenburg.
  2. Tenakha, I have the upmost respect for you, we seem to have seen eye to eye on more than one occasion. I completely agree that not having an opponent in the same time zone must be vexing, but how do we solve this? The British nation has a 24/7 timezone for its player base. If Spain has only the euro time zone, who can they fight in that corner? The USA? If this is a signification problem for them, they would need to either relocate down to the South Eastern side of the map or for more Euro Centric nations to join them in the north. If Spain needs a Euro opponent, what do we do? Regards, Ravenburg.
  3. Zerging, well we do have a lot of players that need entertaining . Spain has been happy to oblige it would seem. With multiple flags being crafted against British Ports daily I have limited sympathy. In a perfect world I would see rid of the port timers however and allow any Spanish forces, regardless of time to have fair opportunity to defend their ports. I do not like the Port Timers at all, I feel the mechanic excludes a lot of RVR play. However Spain was warned, and we have acted in accordance, the rules of war dictate this to be fair. Regards, Ravenburg.
  4. What code of conduct might that be exactly? If it is about port timers, you have come to the wrong discussion. Unless what is being stated here is that Australasian time zones are not a legitimate time zone in this game? Or are we expanding that to say that only Australian players may set Australian time zone flags. My goodness, are we segregating? =P
  5. Well gentlemen, This topic has gotten very much out of hand. The personal insults have become direct, intentional and serve no purpose other than to show your ignorance and or general maliciousness, this has been on both sides of the argument. Spain is at War with GB, this is true, however it has been said that it was in the manner the war was fought that dictated the true victor. Very few here, speaking of the war and the actions taken have presented themselves in a manner that would consider them victorious. Reading the comments about exploits, personal character, the weakness of nations, the skill at which they play and then some very off topic comments from some very angry people. This is a test phase alpha gentlemen, if we don't test it, how will it get better? Does each nation set timers according to when their players are awake, yes, does GB have a large player base, most definitely. However they are spread across an almost 24 hour clock. I would be impressed if we were able to muster double your number at any one time. I personally will no longer entertain the port timer argument, it will be gone soon and replaced. I have much respect for many of my enemies, especially those who have fought on to the end, the Swedes and the French were the last I fought in major engagements. My hats were off to those fine folk, everyone fought with honour and decorum, I personally do not enjoy fighting the Spanish. There are those among the pirate nation (hated that they are) that have also shown exceptional skill and are rightly to be feared in smaller engagements. However I stress, that the comments being flung around this thread have made me question how old we are, how mature. Because this senseless name calling needs to stop. Either that or like everything else it will be reported, shunned and eventually the poor person who does not change their attitude will find their voice a tiny little squeak amongst the debating adults. Fight this war as gentlemen, or keep your toxicity to yourself. Yours hopefully, Ravenburg.
  6. The enemy has opted for Oblivion...prepare the fleet.....
  7. Well, I stand corrected. May I offer a suggestion to the Spanish Council, being what it is, that you immediately request an amended treaty in regards to Port Attacks on your territories. Well that's what any sane Nation would do...however as per the insults slung back and forward, I can't really say how successful you will be. EricKilla, Johny and Stephen, accept my apologies, it is not my intent to stress the relationship between the USA and Britain. My concerns were towards the technicalities of a treaty that should probably have been better requested by the Spanish. We of course will, and did, defend against any Spanish aggression and will continue to do so. Regards, Ravenburg.
  8. I totally agree with your concerns, this was not meant to be what this treaty was about. I too would not be silent on the matter and as you can see, am not silent on the matter. I wont agree to having a proxy nation assist in taking ports on the Spanish mainland, directly contradicts what the treaty was meant for. I guess we will have to wait to see what the Nations Councils say, but this is one British Captain that doesn't agree with the port screening for the purpose of taking ports in the treaty specified areas. Your concerns are legitimate and totally valid. Please don't get my wrong however, as per our alliances we will defend ports that are attacked when able, but yes, we should not be assisting in the taking of ports from the Spanish. We can argue the diplomacy patch is out soon and none of it will matter...but it still does as trust and player interactions are still key to the game. Hopefully light comes to the matter soon. Regards, Ravenburg.
  9. Apologies that you feel that way. As you are unable to provide your own justification to your comment I will consider it just forum flaming, not that I am unfamiliar. I will continue to request fair and open dialogue from all parties in regards to the treaty in discussion in this thread, my opinions on how Spain has handled the situation is just solidified by the comments of Spanish players. We have been told of actions from the Dutch and British Captains in the assisting of taking Spanish Ports, something I would like answers to. Other than that I bid you good day. Regards, Ravenburg.
  10. That was a very offhanded comment, not welcome nor received well. My comments were on topic and with the understanding of the treaty. If you have nothing constructive to add, don't add it. Or you could I guess, clarify your statement. Sincerely, Ravenburg.
  11. Thank you Celtibero, Any British Council member can we please see what has happened here? Are the Dutch not honouring this agreement? To screen for an attack fleet against the territories stipulated in the treaty is a breach. I will not align myself in a group treaty if all factions who have signed it are not upholding it in good faith, to the extent that I will happily organise a fleet to assist the Spanish in holding onto their territories should non authorised factions be taking place. This is not limited to; Screening, blockading, intercepting and any other action by Treaty Nations against Spanish forces to allow the US or any other faction to take ports on the Spanish mainlands. Decatur, hmmm if I have read this treaty wrong then I will duly educate myself, however I will not condone these actions. If we are taking ports under the guise of USA flags then we are essentially back at square one. We are attempting to stabilise, not conquer. As my clan diplomat has gone quiet I will have to discuss this internally. Again, no ill will towards any nation present, however I will defend against aggression on USA held territories, but I will not just trade one way to take ports for another. All issues with USA on Spanish forces is not my concern and I will not intervene unless my allies are directly attacked. (Ports for example) Looking forward to replies from diplomats from Treaty Nations. Regards, Ravenburg.
  12. Britain has taken no part in the capture of your ports. Any nation who has ratified this treaty and has actively engaged in taking your ports, or assisted in taking your ports, please report to us immediately so the British Council can be notified. With no evidence we will simply assume it was the US forces, which have no current treaty with you, Britain will not assist in the taking of your ports, directly or indirectly. These comments are no longer on subject and will be ignored. If you are not bringing up anything in regards to the treaty, nations involved, breaches of said treaty or wishes to communicate with the councils of any of the nations involved, please take your comments elsewhere. I would suggest creating a ' We are unhappy that USA has alliances and our diplomatic agendas are terrible' thread. I would happily fight alongside Spain if I felt their intentions and the way they treated other nations wasn't ridiculous. On PVP2 and now PVP1 the trend has been unyielding stances, terrible interpersonal dialogue and finger pointing...oh and then ludicrous demands when on the back foot. You want to fight the USA with no intervention from Britain and Dutch....well....you may find you are out of Luck. Don't you have an alliance with another equally turncoat Pirate nation? France perhaps? However you said Spain will not surrender, however you have in the same comment said you will leave for a more balanced game. Pray tell, in the world of MMO open world sandboxes, which game are you commenting on? Some advice as my final comment, if you are going to play a faction based game in a totally liquid player base, don't throw the gauntlet down to every other faction then cry in a corner when no one will have tea with you. Regards, Ravenburg.
  13. You may note players of the Spanish Nation, that Britain has signed no truce with you. We have agreed to stop taking your ports, however we will actively assist our allies, we did not make this treaty for you to now turn your attention to the US and think that Great Britain would just let it happen. Let me be very clear, Britain will not engage in the taking of your ports inside the treaty defined areas...however if you openly attack our allies you will find British ships defending our allies. Pretty straight forward, we were not going to abandon the US to a one on one match with Spain. We have given you back the numerous ports as per the treaty, you want more of them, then prepare to engage in battle. Regards, Ravenburg.
  14. Any war against pirates is a good war. I will stand behind the Danes in their efforts. Yours Faithfully, Lord Ravenburg.
