I think you missed the point. FTS are under the employment of the British. They took Samana and then lost it.

The Pirate Coalition has done more for Spain than Britain has ever done. The thing is we do not try to rub it in their face constantly or demand anything in return such as an Alliance or restrictions. We have assisted Spain so that they can get back on their feet. We do not demand their aleigence or support in anything we do. If they decided to attack us there would be no hard feelings from our side and we would enjoy the PvP. We would not be threatening to remove all their ports to Havana like the Brits are doing. That is the difference here. Britain only helps people if they get something out of it. As for this 5-1 nonsense. Initially it was just us Pirates fighting you when you lost Saint Nic. At which point you outnumbered us 5-1. Then due to your horrendous diplomacy other Nations also turned their eyes to your Ports. Pirates and Danes took Haiti and Pirates took South Cuba. Not because we outnumbeted you because we still did not... but because your Nation was not united. Your clans refuse to help each other and leave SLRN to fight. France later began attacking you most likely because you abandoned them when they were surposedly your allies and then Charles came onto the forums insulting them for entering Diplomatic negotiations with the Danes. Spain obviously attacks you now due to your persistant hostility to them and the land grab you made in the gulf. However you still need to cut down on the WE ARE BEING ZERGED crap. We are being attacked on two fronts by you and the US. We do not cry.. we deal with it. You have seveal guilds paid off in various Nations to help you in an attempt to cause dissent. You need to stop playing the victim. Quite frankly it is pathetic and poor sportsmanship. Like someone who is losing in tennis faking an injury.

Any evidence? Names?

Welcome to the Coalition.

Oh yes. We had 100 Pirate ships and 100 Danish ships in that port battle vs the 25 British....This was a Pirate only operation. It was a very enjoyable engagement. We have been exchanging shots with the British in that port for the best part of a month. We have only used 3rd rates previously and have always been out gunned leading to some very close engagements which came down to the last minuite. This time we brought out our big toys and for once outgunned the Brits. They put up a hell of a fight and were able to effectively kite our much slower ships around for s good part of the match however with a change of tactics we provided a hard counter which allowed us to secure Victory. I am sure there will be many more battles to come.

Ok

No one has reinforcements. All I see here is you attempting to force your own opinoins on an entire community. Do you think if they took things away from thr Pirates they would fracture and suddenly all start killing each other? Nope. The community is what makes us a Nation in our own right. If Brits were able to attack other British I am sure we would see more Brit on Brit than Pirate vs Pirate.

You play this game because the Devs allow it. Difference? I think not.

The Pirates are a Nation because we have formed it as such as a player base. We have come together to form the Coalition which holds all the Major Pirate guilds allowing us to unite and fight as a single unified force.

The British Port of Jereme has finally fallen! The Bastion and last British presence on Haiti has been laid to ruin by a mighty Pirate dread fleet! It was a battle to rival the ages, the British put up a strong defence and it came down to the final minutes but the Pirates managed to snatch victory in the final 10 minutes. Great fight to all involved. Not sure what the British fleet was but this was the Pirate line up - 4 x Santi 6 x Victory 15 x Pavel This was made possible by the following Pirate Coalition guilds - KotO Rubli BW LV SSP BIA Thank you to all, Kuthara - Leader of KotO and proud member of the Pirate Coalition.

The only thing I see here is you openly insulting someone for not thinking the same way that you do. Quite frankly I think YOUR behaviour is disgusting. This is a game. People play games to take some time out from real life and those lines should not be blurred if possible. As soon as you begin to bring real world issues into a game then for a lot of people it becomes less fun. If YOU would like to show your respect or support to Belgium then that is great. However everyone does it in different ways and perhaps a game around naval warfare is not the best place.

Can I please enquire who from the Pirates came to you previously because as far as I am aware no Coalition member has approached you since EA.

Perhaps we should have a new moderator whose role it is to review Triubal posts before they can be posted. This way you will remove 90% of the current posts where there is no proof or the subject simply is not suitable for Tribunal. A greater moderation of the Tribunal would also ensure that things are kept strictly on topic and not derailed as most seem to be. I of course understand that this would be quite time intensive and you would likely require a new moderator whos sole purpose was to do this.

I was in my brand new Essex yesterday. I spotted a white whale! Shortly after it ate my ship. True story.

The fact thay even tho this has nothing to do with Pirates.. you still try to blame them, really says everything. You are so drastically biased against Pirates that you fail to even read what the Admin has written or the actual issue and just point a finger at us.

I think payment for the damaged property and an apology is suitable for a first offence like this. We all get carried away at times and it is apparant that Deiky is not a prolofic green on greener. He just got frustrated and has shown clear remorse for his actions.

I think everyone just needs to take a step back and remember that this is just a game. There is no reason we can not be civil to each other. I know that sometimes we all get caught up in things (Myself included) but at the end of the day that is just a testiment to how good the game is at making you feel like part of the world. Its very easy to get sucked in an see your in game enemies as real enemies. However you need to remember that those people are also looking to enjoy the game. I have had a lot of battles with people and we have both saidd good game and thoroughly enjoyed it. Hell I lost my Victory the other day to 3 x fire ships and I congratulated the chaps involved. No point in getting bitter about it else there is no point in playing the game. Lets keep the forum banter light hearted and in the good spirit of fair play.

No mistery that we have been working with the Spanish to help them regain a foot hold so that they can get back into the game. Not sure what your issue is here?Brits wanted to roll Spain down to a single port if they could and you wonder why now they fight back? Think maybe its time the Brits stopped trying to blame everyone else for the mess they have gotten themselves into and start looking at their own flaws. Everyone does not just get up one day and decide to attack a random Nation. The British have time after time thrown their weight around. It was not so long ago that they were allied with or had pacts with most the server. So I think it is a little bit hypocrytical to now be pointing the finger at anyone else who decides to work together.

Once more. I think you will find it was the USN who approached us. It was also the Pirates who turned down their ridiculous offer and simply said if you want to fight the British then do so. We were not on the mind for making 'deals'. When I get on later I will provide the screen shot.

Think this just needs loxking now until an Admin has a look at it.

Love that Picture Filoot!

I have spoken with both the US council and Stars and Stripes in the past couple of weeks. I can firmly say that Stars and Stripes are a much more respectable lot. The council seems to think more of themselves than they actually are and the real power in America currently sits with Vicious and his guild. When the Council asked US to talks last week to see if they could make a deal with us to both attack the British they were rude, arrogant and did nothing but boast about their immense strengh. They demanded 8 ports from the Pirates so that they could help us against the Brits. We refused. Whenever I have spoken to Lord Vicious it has been a pleasent experience and has not involved any rubbish.

This has happened to me before. It is very frustrating.

I think the only thing you will find from myself in here is me saying very clearly you are free to do as you wish. Just do not be suprised if most people are not happy with it.Your comment here however is a perfect representation of your guild. All you do all day is insult other people and speak down to everyone else. This all started just after EA when FTS mass recruited and would spam the Pirate chat with 'FTS are the only real Pirate guild, If you do not join us you are an enemy' and things such as that while also publically bashing any other Guild who refused to play by your rules. That is why the Coalition was formed. A place where Pirates could band together and play how they wish. Since then the Coalition has only grown stronger while FTS has dropped down to 10-15 players. Mostly not in SOLs because your member turn over rate is so high after they find out what the true FTS is. This recent out burst in Pirate chat and on the forums just shows once more the childish mentality of your group. The only people you are actually currently hurting are yourselves.

You say this but at the same time from the first day I started playing this game all I have heard from the British is a rally cry for everyone to fight the Pirate 'scum'. You would be more than happy if the shoe was on the other foot as you have shown in you actions against other factions in the past. When you worked with the US to almost anhilate Spain the only thing you kept saying was how it was Spains fault for having bad diplomacy. Well now it has flipped around perhaps it is Britains fault for having bad Diplomacy? People remember when they are screwed over and it is very hard to forgive but very easy to enact revenge. Britain has been less than friendly neighbours to pretty much everyone and was more than happy ro boast about its power when it was on top. So is it suprising now that people come seeking that revenge and do not heed your pleas of mercy?
