Coming from the folks who said that nation flippers are the worst and they themselves up and leave. Good riddence, you didn't contribute to anything and now instead of doing missions at FR, you will be doing them at christenstad.
Finally, now we can take and sink your ships.
I'm hoping we can manage to ramp down on the personal stuff now that we don't have the easy avenues of nation chat and discord chat to perpetuate the constant bickering anymore.
edit: I didn't realize that was posted 8 hours ago - somehow I got taken directly to it as if it was new

The Terres are far from useless. They had great economic value and provided a valuable buffer to the north, but additionally there was also the contemptuous attitude of CCCP lording it over France which was intolerable. Anyhow, it is moot now since the game has changed entirely. Nobody knows where we go from here, but we do know that there's no going back.
-
That sounds like a topic for negotiation. If somebody sinks my traders it certainly doesn't start a war. However, for CCCP it seems to be the primary mechanism that triggers them. I'm guessing there will be a lot more traders sinking from now on.

No, PvP is just PvP. Occupying territories is a declaration of war.

I mean, an attack on a national ship is like an attack on her crown, no?
No. That is PvP on the PvP server.

When you guys (Bork/Purge) 'Pearl Harbored' the Danes after ICS brokered peace you didn't see the Danes in here crying.
I don't remember a Danish region being attacked? ICS "brokered" a Danish occupation of France, and expected everyone else to put up with it.

Not sure that you are the majority since many people leave the game or cannot put in those hours of sailing to get a combat option.
The difference may be that I'm not putting in hours of sail to get a "combat option". The long sails are an important part of the Open World experience, and a purpose in and of themselves.

I'm under the impression that the BLACK/WO agreement ended when France was evicted from Haiti

If it was true... but the Danes are only interested in night flipping nothing else.
Not true! They also enjoy Basic Cutters!

Not defending treachery. Maybe do not just assume things is all or attempt to play the paragon in a situation. CCCP was drawn into this conflict if anything by participants that did not sign the previous agreement. Play us the villians if you like. There will be little sympathy from external parties that is for sure.
You fell in with villains by choice.

CCCP only treated France with contempt from the very beginning. They wanted us to be their weak servant.

An alliance trumps a NAP.
Then they shouldn't pretend to make deals they can't honor.

So you are either too incompetent to control your nation members, or you don't care and just make excuses. Either way, Danes look very bad here, are the only guilty (together as a nation, not Chinese or Australian), and the correct response is an immediate removal of any and all warships and threats from French waters, a cessation of hostilities, and a public apology signed by all the heads of each Danish clan, starting with CCCP.
Where is it?
Why bother? We are at war already, and this time it won't be ending.

cccp were allied with pirates at the time of the agreement.
That is not relevant to the France-CCCP agreement.
And it's even more irrelevant now because there will never be another France-CCCP agreement

OK firstly CCCP did not start the action. SCAR and DICS did. 2ndly you flipped a port of an ally and thus triggered a response.
Pirate ports were not part of the France-CCCP agreement. We are at total war now, for the rest of the game.

Negative. France has left a sour taste in a lot of peoples mouths with their actions in game (excluding their current actions against pirates) and comments on the forums and elsewhere.
Imagine how much more sour you're about to get...

Well, now we know what we're doing until the next Wipe, and beyond. Nightflips for EVERYONE! This time we don't have to worry about fake agreements - there won't be any more negotiating.

I would bring you a jelly-and-jam "welcome neighbors" basket, but it's too scary between Deshaies and Christansted

We need about 2000 more players. I hope they run a good hype campaign for full release

I actually enjoy the long sails. The feeling of being alone (usually!) in a vast sea. Watching the horizon for two hours, relief when a concealing storm blows through, and the first sight of land on the horizon. We all know where most of the players hang out doing their economy and grinding. It's nice to have quiet corners of the map where you're studying the trees and wondering if anyone has been here in a month.

If a Captain said to a clan mate he's taking a cargo to X and his mate is taking a cargo to Y is it not sensible to go together parting company close to destination? is it not sensible to say to the clan that you will arriving at Y at such a time and would like an escort in if available, or even hail a passing warship?
You'd need to be going the same direction, roughly same distance, at the same time, and you need to be ready to sail when the wind is right. I don't know when I'm going to do my hauling - the time has to be right, both in game and IRL. People in warships are generally doing something with them, somewhere else. They aren't going to zoom up from a region or two over in time to help you.
Also, even clans have spies, and advertising your trading outposts even among friends will dry them up.

Convoys are organised, The Escorts are organised at the same time for both ends. so what happens is the convoy builds up at port A where the out bound Escort takes them to point B where the convoy starts it's open water route to point C where the inbound Escort collects them and escorts then to Port D where the convoy disbands.
In an ideal world with enough players it might work. But we have a low number of players, who have to fit their game in bits around their own real life schedules. Everyone is doing their route to their own trading ports when they have the time to, when the prices and commodity spawn happen to be right. If an enemy is camping your capital you may be forced into a situation like this, but generally it isn't time-effective and people only have narrow windows of game time.
"A pair of indiamen" - lol, if I had a pair of indiamen and the commander level to crew them I probably won't be trading much anymore. ;D

Maybe take the money away from combat with AI (missions and OW PVE), so you have to do another activity like trade, PvP or craft to finance that XP generation.

We don't have the server population for there to just happen to be people at random ports, even locally.
T-brig built to fight would need some kind of crew enhancement.

There was no agreement with pirates.
