There are no nations left in the game without alliances you just have to pick your poison if you are totally against being in a nation that has alliances
Nothing wrong with an alliance, it can create content. Thats not the same as acting like snakes and doing all these back door deals GB do. I often wonder how people who are so utterly inept at diplomacy get to call the shots. Has GB been loyal to anyone on the server? This why everyone was happy to stick the boot in when things were down. GB even did a peace deal with Spain the moment GB started winning the war and its members were enjoying themselves for the first time in ages. it also allowed the Swedes to take Spanish ports. Well that ended well, whoever made that deal what a fantastic peace of diplomacy that was. Just stop doing deals with every man and his dog just because they threaten to take your ports. Its embarrassing for the rest of the nation. Some one with some balls needs to take over and man the hell up.

Can you tell me which ports GB can defend then? The answer is basically none. If GB could actually field a good PB team then the coast from Tumbado down to Great Corn that they once held with crafting ports in Belize and Trux was one of the most defensible areas on the map next to what the Russians have in the Gulf of Mexico. Without the buffer of the Russians SDC and PaP would not remain in GB's hands for long.
Personally I dont think there should of been a ceasefire and GB should lose all the ports it cannot defend even if that means being reduced down to uncapturable ports in Jamaica at least then they would probably have to wake up and get serious about creating a fighting force.
I do agree that there are too many people who presume to speak for the nation and make decisions without a mandate, but this is not just clans in the far away ports but all clans in GB. GB gave away one of the most defensible ports on the map prior to the start of the first Swedish war and that was up in the Bahamas. That single action totally destroyed GB's presence in the main shallow water area on the map.
Get rid of all agreements regarding other nations blocking access to ports and defending GB and see how many ports GB are left with at the end of a month, doesn't matter whether they are near of far away ports they will still fall.
I fully agree with you a nation that cannot defend itself should not own ports. I would rather see GB with just Jamaica if it means not having to pander to one super power or another. Its a worthless existence to live at someone else mercy.The annoying thing is the people who make these deals wont leave the nation as long as they can snake their way out of every situation. Perhaps nation capitals should have some craft bonuses and this might stop people rage quiting or swapping nations every time a crafting port gets captured.

Admin openly encourages strong nations to destroy weak nations. So stop whining.
Why dont you do the job properly then and put the wounded beast out of its misery? All your doing is holding it down with your foot on its neck. GB will never recover while those snakes who make deals with every nation remain.
Most GB players would be happy to see you take the whole coast and it wouldnt effect them in the slightest. You are not helping anyone by doing pathetic deals with self appointed people who have little to do with the average GB player

What crack do you smoke?
I might need some of that
As I said before you absorbed nearly all the content drivers from both nations.
There was a very vibrant war going on between Spain and GB, now there is only Sweden
-
Sweden killed both Spain and GB, sucked up all the content driving players from both nations, added them to an already impressive RVR line up and then did what? Attacked the empty shell of the nation that had already been bled dry. I know you guys are full of bitter ex GB players but there is not much blood left in the stone. Then what happens some self appointed egos who think they speak for the entire nation of GB when in fact the vast majority of GB players are not represented in anyway. bow down and take a swede sausage in the rectum right up to the meatballs.
GB will always be a garbage nation as long as these self appointed yes men make deals with every single nation on the server as long as it means hanging on to some far away ports that could never be defended without tea bagging another nation for ownership.

You need to face the fact that Sweden is full of bitter ex GB players who after failing with Spain want to get the job done with Sweden.
The worst thing you can do is feed them content. I wouldn't fight them at all, let them take the whole coast until they are locked in at both ends with Russian ports.

Forager should have to be cycled through all nations before you can go back to one you have already used in my opinion.
I hear what you are saying but, if changing nations keeps a player in the game rather than rage quitting I would see that as the lesser of two evils.

Loki runes should only work against players over a certain rank,
28 minutes ago, Henry Long Castle said:The thing you have to understand tho is that all of us were noobs at some point, all of us have been ganged when doing missions or when farming just outside capital waters or when we were simply sailing around. All of us have lost "good ships" (atleast we thought that the blue oak fir surprise with no pb's we just captured was a good ship lol) yet we accepted it, started thinking of ways to have a better chance in a gang, maybe tag an NPC and run away for 5 mins or maybe throw the circle of the npc on land. Little things like that. We grinded, got better and now we are the gankers. So what ? I think that what is driving away new players are over priced shitty ships with no port bonuses that some geniuses put on sale in ports like KPR. Noobs have no choice but to buy these and when they loose them, they go bankrupt... Do some trading someone might say, yea sure 300k for an indiaman that will get sunk to the first snow that sneezes on it... At least back in the day we could do a cargo run for 250k reals + 1000 doubs, a noob can now do at best 70-80k per run... Is that not discouraging the noobs from ever playing again ?
If you want numbers to go up you need to give people a fighting chance, yes we all faced grief at capitals when we started out, but i dont think it was as bad as it is now. The snow and the Lebroken are simply being used to destroy noobs 24/7 outside capitals. Its sad that anyone would get satisfaction out of doing it. There should be no pvp reward for killing players in capital zones full stop. A loki rune should not work against players under a certain level, and as for log books, hello kitty off with that shit
Log books should work in the patrol zones only

Look no further than log books, loki runes and all the seal clubbers that pray on new players for driving people out the game. Its almost impossible for many people starting out to enjoy the game without getting destroyed by other people who they have very little chance against.
Every time numbers go up the devs dream up another idea how to drive them down again

Lets not forget a game is meant to be enjoyed, most people do not enjoy being on the loosing side, I play for GB I know all about loosing lol, luckily for me RVR was not the most important thing in the game although I do enjoy it. . Most the big RVR players quit the nation as soon as things got really bad, is that really any different? I will say though the reward of achieving a victory against the odds is all the more rewarding. It depends on a players patience, do you need instant gratification and the instant reward of quick success, or are you happy to play against the odds have less success but a much more rewarding experience from each victory.

It is true that I as a player did not take the port, but the Swedish nation did which is what I meant, you say that my word cannot be trusted which is false, my main account is in havoc and where I play is there, and I played 3 PB using a friend's account, and I played on his name, to say that I am untrustworthy and a liar please try a little harder, because with that you cannot say i am untrustworthy or a liar
Then why dont you grow a pair and attack using your main account instead of fighting some proxy war

Just now, C Blood said:
not much we can do when they say they dont want to fight anymore, should we turn up to PB's and fight thin air? 😂 alot of GB was set to fight all the way back to KPR if we had too so an offer to get stuff out of belize wouldnt have mattered as we wouldnt have surrendered
The point is there was no need to agree to anything, I think the nation earned the right to do what it pleases regardless of what the Spanish wanted. If they dont want to fight anymore so what. To offer a deal when they were in no position to bargain leaves me scratching my head. I would of told them to eff off. There is no way they were going to show GB any mercy had the war gone their way.
-
Why on earth GB would offer anything after all the hard work and effort is beyond me. Its like lying on the ground for months being kicked by a dozen people and then somehow you manage get back on your feet and grab one of the attackers by the throat and instead of throttling them you allow them to weasel their way out. What is the point in fighting a war and then accepting terms the moment it starts to become fun and your winning. The amount effort people put in to defending the nation and turning things around for what? Its shows nothing much has been learned from previous wars. Also not much incentive for anyone to fight another war if there is no reward at the end and the enemy gets off so lightly. If Spain had taken Belize do you think they would offered a deal for GB to get their shit out?

You forgot russian help xD
The Spanish had Swedish help, and besides the Russians would attack GB and claim it was just pvp, we must of lost just as many ships to the Russians as the Spanish and Swedes,
pretty much anyone who came screening for GB did so looking for something to kill and a british flag certainly diddnt stop them

GB will be able to defeat the russian empire
GB and Spain were fairly evenly matched, GB had more numbers Spain had a higher concentration of skilled PB players, {my opinion} it was shifting though as more GB players were learning. Not in the same league as Russia.

i left the nation because only thing in nation chat was people whining to other people and just constantly insulting people i play with they didnt insult me but just made it unplayable for people i like to pvp with beside the constant accusations it was a toxic hell hole i left i would have joined any nation but spain had some of they guys i knew so i joined them and beside yall crying in global chat thats been the only toxicity i seen in spain
also GB wasnt a dead nation yall just didnt wanna work with us so we didnt work with you
I agree with the nation chat bit, its never been much different in my 3 stints with GB.
Of all the places to go though you chose the one nation even more toxic. Not to mention the one that was twisting the dagger in the deepest.
A spiteful move and at the time I thought a fatal one for GB.

the all going against russia idea was already planned when British still owned ports en sweden had nato but bastard couldent be asked to fight russia because they love them and later on joined the danish into multiflipping sweden ports
prussia decided hey british are easy targets lets take all their ports and then lose to russia on their own and then pirates realised what is easier than an already beaten nation lets take SDC
and the british already had their own civil war of crybabies some bad decisions later russia won sweden gave up british where dead china was added british made a deal with russia
spanish got tired of fighting british with russia's 100 man fleet + danish + prussians showing up to screen them and gave up and now we have players quiting the game so thats where we stand
What a croc of shit, most of you you left a dead nation to join the one that clearly had the upper hand, dont you think we got tired of being screened out by Swedes time after time? As for the Russians they must of sunk just as many if not more British ships than the Spanish. People dont come to screen for GB they turn up looking for kills and they dont seem to care who they kill us or the spanish,
The tide was turning though as some players arrived in GB from other nations, attacking, Belize was like kicking a hornets nest, more and more people started logging on. I never saw a 100 man Russian fleet and of course blaming them is a good way to excuse loosing to GB despite all the help you got from Sweden.

Haha yeah I think the same about Screening!!
@Admin look at all thieese battles in this topic a lot of them are screening!
Mabey overthink you're desicion about the teleporting thingy at the moment it seems that the online numbers are dropping again and that worries me mutch since I love this game and want it to rise not fall..........
No offense Just saying.......
Greetings stay safe stay healthy
If Swedish numbers are dropping I would guess its lack of meaningful content, other than screening Spanish port battles witch must get old quite quickly

Limit the number of the same type of ship that can be used in port battles. It might not be realistic but atm port battles will always have 25 of the current meta bar one or two Reqs or circle takers. If there was a limit on the number of ships of a certain type or even rate we might get some interesting fleet set ups.

Fix all battles to close at the same time for both sides, it used to be the case what you could see on the horizon was what you would be fighting. Now with the domination of the snow, a single snow will drag a bigger ship into battle and have 20 mins to call his friends, its stupid, I would support the perk that kept a battle open as it could be used by both sides. Otherwise close the battle for both sides after 2 or 3 mins
