    Even if that were true they'd have to be at the origin, sail to the destination, and then back to the origin, and then on to the next place etc, so they might as well go along the whole time.

    I see why they get along so well with CCCP. Birds of a feather...

    I was at both of them - no wife. 1AM-4AM is perfect for me. However, my own clan workflips me regularly.

    They can keep the server plugged in, but the players certainly do sleep. (especially the ones with tedious things like wives, kids, jobs, etc) Anyhow, my point was that France was not neutral about Brits being in Haiti, and that doesn't indicate an alliance.

    Sorry, I didn't realize you were generously thinking of saving us time by having those at hours most of us wouldn't be able to attend. Thank you!
  6. Barbancourt
    We have not had any alliances. Most of the clans want to privateer.

    Wasn't the King kind of a german in the NA timeframe? I have a hard time keeping track of all that stuff.

    From what I've gathered (I'm not wedded to it, personally) there are a lot of people in this game that believe that this is "the way things should naturally be", so it may not be avoidable unless another power clearly needs to be stopped. Couple that with the fact that GB has a lot of players and a number of French players are looking far and wide for a steady supply of victims. (originally a lot of Pirates were getting French abuse until we were "encouraged" to leave Cap Francais) The "safe passage" thing doesn't click for me - apparently I missed that part of the thread

    LOL When the Brits night-flipped Les Cayes and Port-au-Prince away from us did you somehow think France was suddenly going to become ambivalent about getting the Brits out of those ports? If the Dutch kicked the Brits out of Haiti then France probably would have helped them. If the Danes ran the Brits out France may even have helped them.

    You propose a situation where hostility is brought up to 100% against a region, so it seems that there must be some kind of stomping going in that senario. What good is a Snow in that senario? Then you propose on top of that cutting trade profit and labor hours during this hostility, which would effectively eliminate trade and crafting which already eat up a lot of time when things are easy so why would you waste your time trying if they get a lot harder. My comment is that making the tedium of trade and crafting even harder for people when they've already got a conflict to worry about is just going to discourage a lot of people from playing.

    I think most people like to be able to make some progress, instead of constantly getting stomped into the dirt and taking far too long to collect necessary resources.

    Who will provide the PVP if so many people from the same time zone are in the same nation?
  13. Barbancourt
    I gotta laugh at how clueless that comment is.

    Too much chaos will drive players away from the game. It's bad enough losing your ships when invaders descend to gank the weak , but not being able to craft or trade either means you might as well find something else to play for a week. The game takes enough time when you're successful - it's a major league waste of time when you aren't.

    Huh, I thought the delta was 400.
  16. Barbancourt
    I want to be one of the (retired?) people who has mountains of time for stuff like that, LOL
  17. Barbancourt
    So yer a trading and PVE clan?
  18. Barbancourt
    There is no level of negotiation that's ever going to repair backstabbing within the family. We could also end up with clans of bullies and arseholes happily waging terror campaigns within the nation.
  19. Barbancourt
    Most of us are wondering, "who thought THAT would be a good idea?"
  20. Barbancourt
    We were never actually at war with CCCP. That was the problem people had. If there was some actual combat taking place it would most likely still be a daily fight, and allies would have been brought into the war as well. Within nation, nobody's going to back down. There's nowhere to retreat and evacuate a buffer. It would be a daily attempt to spread the suffering as widely as possible.
  21. Barbancourt
    It's a long way from stubborn people not coordinating simple things before a nation event and not talking to each other in a battle, to a continual civil war in our home ports with all the economic and social damage that would cause on a daily basis. Keep in mind that most of us wouldn't even have a choice in this situation - it would be some hotheads that start and perpetuate it, and everyone else being the primary collateral damage.
  22. Barbancourt
    This would just kill the nation and create permanent clan vs clan conflicts. If you are stabbing me in the back you are going to become the primary enemy on a permanent basis. There's no going back from there.
  23. Barbancourt
    What? That would be completely toxic, and in a way that could never die down.
  24. Barbancourt
    It's no problem - I went out in a Basic Cutter and chased their L'Ocean and Bucentaure back to port. They were hiding from me after that. The might of the Basic Cutter is known to all.

    Danes have been quiet. Sweden is currently invading France.
