That's a coincidence. We just sold some technology to the pirates so they could build dykes around your ports and pump out the water. Seems like we have some grand out-of-the-box strategy to watch out for the coming weeks. On a sidenote. We have a great amount of cartwheels on sale and for a cheap price they can be mounted on your ships!

... and so it will be our faith, forsaken with anger, with grim faces still smiling, and filled with glorious hope of victory. ** taps twice on the table with his full glass, before going bottums up with it. ** Cheers.

Hahaha, I would vote for that!

To our Danish allies, you are welcome any time! Your glasses will always be full at our table. Cheers!

... to all those captains that sailed under the French and Dutch flag this evening (22nd of February 2016). Thank you for the great fun! In all honesty France, we are not afraid of your superior numbers on the seas! We have genever enough to even double your numbers ourselves if we find the odds too close to 1:2 on your bad nights.

Loco gris?

Don't worry guys, we are heading towards the North with a small group of players to help you guys out against the Spanish! ... oh, hi Grim and Francis!

On a different note: I really want it to be mentioned without any prejudice, Grim, those comics are priceless! You made me laugh so hard my wife gave me the "shussss" look, because she was watching her favorite series on the TV. I really hope you will share the others you have already made regardless how this thread will develop.

We, the Dutch, are a very disorganized Nation as a whole. People leaving left and right for other nations or going pirate due to a total political meltdown of civil conversation in our senate with strongly opinionated Republicans and disorderly Orangist screaming at each other. They main issue, after the pricing of Batavian Spices, was the disagreement to either battle against the French fleet or to fight them. Luckily our nation is famous for its political compromises, so sooner or later we will reach a pragmatic recognition of pluriformity and cooperate despite differences. It will most likely end up between shooting you after we had a good diplomatic conversation with you or shooting you after having a lovely meal together. In the meantime I suggest to you to take full advantage of the situation!

If only oneself could brace for it.

“Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability.” ― Edsger W. Dijkstra Although I am quite simple ... even that didn't get me into the meetings. So I am uncertain reliability is a prerequisite you need for such meetings.

Yes, most of our ships are very pleasant to stay on. Once we modernized the latrines, gouvernailles, sharpened the quille and refit the etai de mât de flèche, they are very comfortable and feel like proper Dutch ships; and we do love to share your wine with you. Your company is always nice to have! Dinner soon?

Just as we were considering to move to Louisiana now. But as it is, we welcome everyone to our waters, even the brave French captains! The welcome experience our committee arranges to each individual may vary though.

A-sex-frigate sounds awesome! I like the patch, even though it means a nerf to my beloved Navy Brig. But on the other hand it also means more smaller ships will become awesome to try again! Thnx for the hard work, greatly appreciated!

Very nice Harkonenov! The age would be a bit early for Lenin and the CCCP, but I like the look of it nevertheless! Keep up the good work, and if you could be giving out a translation in English with it at all times I'd appreciate that greatly!

Saying "The Swedes start a major offensive" is like saying "The House of Representatives is in agreement", you can always find a Democrat or Republican that keeps ventilating his "negatives/own opinions". National unity in this game is an illusion under the current game mechanics and probably remains that even with revised ones. I doubt also if you want to change that. This game is a clan-based MMO which means one has to work hard to reach a concensus gentium between the kindred and aligned clans of the nations. So, one who "speaks for the nation" with terms like "We, the Dutch", "The Swedes start ...." or "Our British fleet....", is most likely speaking for a majority of their aligned players within the clan or collaborating clans. If the interpreting is the responsibility of the sender or the receiver of the message can be a fun spectacle on these forums and, many trolls and flamers have a field day about it. Most of the times realizing who sent the message and to whom it is adressed can help in understanding the impact it can have on you and your clans gameplay. We will see how the Swedish Unity will hold, but I am sure it will be as challenging as in any other Nation.

We are calling this a "Clean Swieb".

I'm avaricious by design, but Two dollars per quarter year is a steal for a quality print like this! Do you deliver in Willemstad too?

I tried to propose a different flag in Dutch channel and they made me write "Rood, Wit, Blauw" a thousand times in the chat and sent me to bed without my wooden shoes still on.
