We are Pirates. We can KOS people in our own faction. I do not understand how this has anything to do with this topic.

Again all you are showing here is an attempt to twist my words. I have stated VERY clearly SEVERAL times now. We can target this group if we wish within the game however we will always use legitimate tactics. Such as attacking their flag carrier or fighting them in the open waters.

The hypocrisy here is immense. So it is ok for a small 10 man guild to do their utmost to cause dissent in the entire Pirate Nation but not all-right for us to target them in an attempt to prevent them from doing so? Again when I say target, I mean dealing with things IN GAME using GAME mechanics that allow us to do so such as intercepting them or tackling their constant drivel in Pirate chat. Again all I see here is a witch hunt orchestrated by FTS and supported by the enemies of the Pirate Coalition for selfish gain and nothing more. We did NOT prevent FTS from doing anything. They clearly state they only intended to attack the one port they took anyway. They also were not blocked from attacking ports and were able to attack another either way. Sorry if we caused them some grief by diverting our forces to tackle the Brits rather than lose our southern ports.

So FTS admit to speaking with the British. British players admit to speaking to FTS to organise an attack. Hm....

I understand your attempt to stir the pot. After all you have a vested interest in seeing us demoted/penalized. However as I stated, an un-communicated attack on a port is very different to an agreed exchange. We also do not want FTS to have that port and be in charge of the timer as they have made a mess of every port they have taken and defended so far. So yes the Danes SHOULD retake it. We broke the agreement with them and I think they would be well within their rights to take it back until we have solved the current situation. Things moved very fast last night and alot of stuff happened in a short period of time. We have apologised profusely if we have caused any issues. We intended to attack Jamaica. The day before FTS took all of the ports to prevent us from doing this and swapped them to timers we could not defend so the Brits could easily take them back and set timers. Do you see us making a post trying to insinuate that they cheated? No. We dealt with it and continued on rather than trying to cause unnecessary drama and the pointing of fingers.

Sorting out a port exchange and attacking an allied port with no communication are two very different things. When the attack happened by FTS, we got in touch with the Danes and agreed that we would speed up the deal so that there would be no misconstrued thoughts about what was happening. Rest assured due to all of this drama it has now pretty much gone down the pan. Again I do not see how this is griefing in any sense of the word. FTS still had a fight and attacked a port. They claimed very clearly they only wanted to take the single port and defend it. They only had 10 players. So how did they plan to attack all of these ports which they claim to have planned to do? This is nothing but an attempt to portray us as exploiters and try to get us penalized because they are unable to deal with us within the game.

I am not a big fan of this Drama, however please find Pentaz, one of the FTS leaders admitting to organising the attacks on the Danes with the British.

I have apologised if our actions deprived FTS of an assault that they had planned. However since FTS continued to attack ports regardless, I do not believe this was the case. They were able to pull a flag for another port, get there and fight. All I see here is a witch hunt and Valco has put 'evidence' which has been taken completely our of Context to try and support his claim that we did this on purpose just to deprive his 10 guys of a battle. It is nothing like that and I have always done my best to bring as much content as possible to the Pirate Nation. As stated previously. I was under the impression that they only aimed to take a single port either way and not continue onto the two ports we intended to flip with the danes. As shown in this - I do not see the issue here and again I apologise for any issues we may have caused. But you can clearly see Penta state FTS wanted A port to hold and they intended to hold the port they took. Even saying this, they then just attacked another nearby port. So either way we did not deprive them of content. If indeed our aim was to prevent them from taking any ports from the Danes. We would have pulled the flag for Samana which we knew they were going to attack. Or pull it for ALL surrounding ports rather than just the two we had aimed to swap with the Danes. In addition to the Evidence supplied by Valco where he claims we BOASTED about what we have done... It is all taken out of context and that is why he has not included the entire conversations. The Coalition is working against FTS just as FTS is working against the Coalition. Just like Pirates work against the British. No where do it state we deliberately aim to use shady mechanics to stop them playing. Why would we? We welcome conflict and it spices up the game. We will deal with this in game and by using legitimate tactics. Insom states very clearly we are working with the Danes. Hence the port swap we had planned. It is no secret that we ARE working WITH the DANES. Again this does not seem like someone boasting about exploiting a mechanic.

I am very sorry if this has caused any issues. It was not mine or the intent of our guild to do so. I am glad however that FTS still managed to get a fight and hit another port. Unfortunately the game mechanics currently do not support the ability to purchase multiple flags or repurchase after one has been lost else this situation would have been solved. I understand that my actions to call my players off the attack to instead intercept and engage the British has caused some issues for the 10 or so FTS however I made a judgement call to protect our boarders rather than continue the swap with the Danes. I made a tactical judgement to protect our assets rather than expand. I do not believe we have breached any rules or exploited but I do understand that our choice to change our attack at last minute meant that FTS had to chose another target. For this I apologise. If I had known that FTS were to continue themselves on that side I would have left it to them. However Penza one of the FTS players said they only intended to take the one port and hold it. This is where the majority of my confusion comes from.

Sorry but this has been taken completely out of context and is nothing but ANOTHER attempt by FTS to cause issues. You have taken snap shots from chats instead of revealing the entire conversation to show their clear meanings. The Coalition is working against FTS, the same way FTS is working against the Coalition. However we plan to do this with game mechanics and not via silly tricks. Insom says very clearly he is working with the Danes. The same as the rest of the Coalition is but again you have taken it our of context and tried to link it to this. We work with the Danes against the British. This is WELL known. As far as I am aware the players who bought the flags planned to plant them however they were diverted to more important issues once I got on-line. Namely against the British. We were going to take both of these Ports. We had a deal with the Danes to do so. Something we had set up for some time and they would be exchanged for some of our ports we had captured to better secure both sides. It all went to hell however when we noticed the British coming. Either way they did not prevent anything. How was you going to attack this port when you pulled a flag for ANOTHER Danish port right after? I am left very confused here.

I think you need to play the game more and hide on the forums less. You are getting lost in it or so it would seem. The Coalition is if course dissapointed with the actions of this small band of trouble makers. However Pirates are of course free to do as they wish. This is something the Coalition embodies by not putting limitations on its member guilds and voting on all major actions. That being said any self proclaimed Pirate would not be very happy if another tried to ruin his plans. Valco and FTS have caused the majority of Pirates to be a bit peeved because they are openly working against the majority of Pirates. Simple as that. They are not breaking any rules and ARE acting like Pirates but then so are everyone else who is not happy with them. This is much like the DRUNK rebellion. It would seem the Brits tactic of hiring small groups to sow discontent in a Nation continues. This all just makes the Coalition strong however. With the edition of 2 new guilds and 50-60 new members since this began.

Once more how about you let the Pirates worry about how to Pirate? I would love for some changes to come in but not ones that would limit our ability to work together and conquer our own territory which is what you want. Mods/Admin have already stepped in with proof of historical Pirate Nations and have said their own peice on this. If you are so keen for History to repeat itself in this game then you should be over joyed that all are turning on Britain.

I think YOU want to see more infighting amongst the Pirates. That I am afraid is not going to happen.

Hello all. Not quite sure why this ended up on the forums. Everyone is free to play the game however they wish to do so. If FTS wish to be under the pay of the British then that is a choice they are allowed to make and does not in any way break any rules. Is it dissapointing that they are doing this with the sole intent to disrupt and break up what the Pirates have accomplished so far? Yes it is. However this will not be solved in a slanging match on the forums or in game. Actions speak louder than words so why do we not all just cool down alittle and play the game. This is not the first attempt by FTS to do this and likely will not be the last. All people play the game a different way. Thst is what is great about Pirates. The Pirate Coalition stays strong with all major Pirate guilds signed upto it and over 400 members. FTS on the other hand has declined from the self proclaimed 'Largest, best and only real Pirate guild' of surposedly 200 members to one who can not fill a port battle and have 15 on in prime time. All will sort itself out.

Never seen a dozen British Victories ganking cutters in real life either. However here it can happen. It is a game afterall.

I think you will find we always congratulate those who beat us and have good sportsmanship with them. You would know this if you was not just a forum entity.

No posts about the several times we have come within an inch of winning however. No posts from when we beat your force in the open water or everytime you try to take Saint Nic.

Why would we complain? We welcome the fight.

Classic Brits. Blame it on the Russians when you lose. Pirates take ports - Damn Russians Danes take ports - Damn Russians French take ports - Damn Russians. Spanish take ports - Damn Russians Americans take ports - Aliens?

I am not French buddy.

Now insulting the French.. it is almost like you can not help yourself. The French are fighting. Just not who YOU want them to. They now fight for themselves.

I think the Admin has stated quite clearly what the rules are and what must be done to compensate the player you attacked. What is the confusion?

While you are at it. Why not make it so Pirates can not sail ships also?

Like I said. Not the Coalition ports so timers were not set by us.

Good Job chaps. The ports there were not secured by the Pirate Coalition so seems we missed out on the fights. Maybe soon tho!
