After a decent day's PvPing up around Danish/Swedish waters (three engagements, three kills), a small Swedish squadron decided to come out and do something about the Conny in their waters. Comprised of a Buc, and two Frigates, the Swedes refused to get careless, and as such, I was not able to obtain an advantage. For an hour-and-a-half, we played the Chain Game; me running downwind, and them unable get a good shot at me. Four minutes from the end of the battle timer, the two well-handled frigates made an attempt at boarding me, which I narrowly avoided. At three minutes remaining, they decided to just finish off one side of my ship. I started taking water at 2:30, and after drawing them against wend (to prevent boarding) I dropped sails and hoped my pump to last. As you can see, it barely did. Thanks to [SAAA]Tord Torskfejs (Buc), [SAAA]Ramn (Frig), and [SAAA]Gunnar Grogg (Frig) for the crazy fight. Also, I did manage to kill a Trinco by his own fort, so that was cool. Kill/capture for today: - 3 heavy frigates Boarding Attempt Escape Constitution 1 (kill 1) Constitution 2 (kill 2) Fort's Friendly Fire (kill 3)

They were really good sports the whole time. Was a crazy match lol

Having been absent from the game for a bit over a month, some newly acquired free time (and a newly-acquired ship) has given me the opportunity to explore the North-Eastern stretches of the map. Apparently, the French/Swedish/Danish alliance is not supportive of exploration, and as such I was also presented with the now rare chance to PvP! I was attacked twice (in my Conny) by two separate Surprises... Thanks to [ER]Armand De La Croix and [HRE]Quios for the battles! New ship's current capture/kill record: - 2 light frigates - 1 support ship Attempted Exploration of Trader's Cargo Hold French Aggression

In response to the many, many players who thought that joining the Britts would lead to *less* PvP, I have had the experience of being ganked by French, Danes, and Sweeds two times in two instances of gameplay, in addition to numerous engagements hunting them and screeing for PB's. For the first time in months, PvP comes to me, and the only choice I have to make is who to fight, and where. Can't complain about that. By the way gank score is currently: Commodore Clay - 4 kills Misc. Gankers - 0 kills However, rumors have it that they're gathering their strength...

Your kindness truly knows no bounds.

Lol fair play, fair play... We'll see you guys tomorrow when the Empire Strikes Back... didn't end well for the guys with red swords.

Guys, we knew you were following with your first rates. We were hoping to that by getting a far tag, not all of you would be able to get in and we could have a similar BR fight. You Brits *know* we were outgunned, and believe me, none of us got a real thrill sailing around for four hours hoping for a good fight. It was boring for us too, chill out.

I find it ironic that you would accuse someone of manipulation of data, while you yourself twist facts to your advantage. You have generalized the British advantages into one "advantage", whilst painstakingly detailing every quality of the Swedish/Pirate team, in a poorly-concealed effort to exaggerate the Brit's performance.Swedish/Pirate Advantage: -Coordination/communication -Greater total PvP experience (assumption) -PvP setup (gold ships/mods) British Advantages: -Superior firepower (more guns, and heavier guns) -Superior numbers -Chasing enemy (given the opportunity to engage/disengage at will) Saying that Sweeds/Rats had the advantage seems pretty ridiculous to me. Seems like it was a good fight, all the way around. Mr. 3rdgaurds was a good enough sport to say GG, I would suggest you follow his example.

Naaaahhh, just want to know who's speaking!

I assure you, no one has been offended. If indeed you do frequent the KPR region, then I would imagine you will often be presented with the opportunity to "sink" us, as we have grown quite fond of the area, and the good battles that British players are willing to participate in. See you around. o/

If everyone talking trash/insulting us could tag their in-game name and nation at the end of their post, that'd be great... A lot of people hate SORRY, it's hard to keep track of who's who.

Another name I don't recognize... Who are you people?

Chimera, might I ask what your in-game name is? Just so I can place a player to the forum posts?

And props to the Britts for coming out at engaging us. That's a lot more than some people do! Well-fought.

Awesome. Thanks for the help. o7

Thanks for the straightforward answer. So am I to understand that Bounty has received this second ban because of the severity of the original offense, as discovered by your review of his case? If so, can we expect the chain of bans to terminate with this one, provided he makes no further offense? Thanks again.

Roger that. I'll wait. Thanks for the assistance guys.

Ahh. Knowing bounty, I'm sure his first ban was well-deserved, I'm only inquiring about the second one, and the protocol and circumstances therein. I appreciate the clarification Mr. Merrill, I suppose I'll just wait for a mod to answer my original question.

Not sure I understand...

Never been chat banned on anything, but I am genuinely curious: can you receive consecutive bans without committing consecutive offenses? If indeed you can be "re-banned" because of the severity of past offenses, it would seem a longer ban is in order, instead of multiple short bans... Since it will no doubt be found out, I'll admit it here that I am Bounty's clanmate, and so have an invested interest in his chat status. Not challenging anyone here, just trying to get my buddy back in the game. Thanks, [sORRY] Commodore Clay

Nope, just an old screenshot.

We are delayed on my account, sorry about that. However, I believe we have set the date with our opponents for Sunday, 08:00 central time.

Boy, there's some serious whiners on here...Perhaps more time spent sailing and less on the forums would lend you better results in a battle. We all sink every once in a while. [sORRY] Is an excellent clan, with some outstanding captains. There are other great clans too, other great captains outside of [sORRY]; many of them better than me. Frankly, none of us care if you hate us. We can't help your feelings. We take pride in our teamwork, and we will always respect a good fight. If you're looking for a helpful, structured and good-timing clan, I encourage you to drop in our TS. If you want to sink a lot of ships, you should definitely stop by and give us a chat - that's what we do best. We craft, we sink, we battle, we gank, but more often than anything, we win. Raise the Black, and make your own rules. Or you can go ahead and join the 7-nation alliance against the "Rats". Either way, we're gonna have fun. Happy sailing! Unless you're King of Crowns, in which case I hope a hurricane blows you onto a rocky shore... Full of fire ants.

Aye, sorry about that lol that was me... Tell him he should stay out of big fights in a little boat!
