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!

We have not had any alliances. Most of the clans want to privateer.

Letter from a Filthy Casual
Barbancourt replied to IndianaGeoff's topic in Patch Feedback and General discussions
When I first looked at the delivery mission listings in Fort Royal they were all delivering large quantities of heavy stuff into enemy captials and dangerous free towns like that, and I gave up on the idea of delivery missions entirely. Then recently someone pointed out to me that delivery missions are different in every port, and there are some really easy ones here and there. They don't pay much money, but they do make a little XP that is helping my crafting XP grind. The same mission will spawn repeatedly for a period of time, so you can make a little stockpile of the goods run it several times in a row. -
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.

So... What does everyone think of ship XP?

I don't grind. It's too time consuming and too boring. -
A failed port battle is a "raid".
Barbancourt replied to Slamz's topic in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions
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.- 15 replies

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.- 15 replies

I gotta laugh at how clueless that comment is. -

Barbancourt replied to Slamz's topic in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions
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.- 15 replies

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
What? That would be completely toxic, and in a way that could never die down.

White Peace - France-Denmark Trade Conflict ends
Barbancourt replied to Teutonic's topic in Caribbean News
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. -
It usually takes several round trips to move all the goods. You can't have multiple merchants going to the same places because just one of them will have bought up all the product for that route.
