  1. Avast all ye scallywags, Let this thread stand as a brainstorming discussion for admin's need for grog and grub. To kick things off, 1. Tap into the massive market which is free-to-play gaming. 2. A cheapish monthly membership subscription which allows for a 15% increase in yield for all production buildings. 3. ?????? 4. Eternal fortune and glory for Game Labs Yours truly, JPJChris

    Shanty Radio

    Gentlemen, Feast your ears! I've created a fine tuned Pandora radio station filled with historical shanties, classical music, and a pleasant smattering of punk rock. Any suggestions for adding variety to the station are appreciated. Pleasant waters, JPJChris https://www.pandora.com/station/play/4277878630511515649

    SHANTIES

    Dearest fellows, Allow me to begin.
  4. Dearest fellows, gentlemen, ladies et all: I come to you as a representative of the civil, with words that I pray all will take heed to and propagate. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM Definition of constructive 1: declared such by judicial construction or interpretation "constructive fraud" 2: of or relating to construction or creation 3: promoting improvement or development "constructive criticism" Definition of criticism 1a: the act of criticizing usually unfavorably seeking encouragement rather than criticism (author's note: I intend only the best.) b: a critical observation or remark "an unfair criticism had a minor criticism of the design" c: CRITIQUE 2: the art of evaluating or analyzing works of art or literature, also : writings expressing such evaluation or analysisan anthology of literary criticism 3: the scientific investigation of literary documents (such as the Bible) in regard to such matters as origin, text, composition, or history --------------------------------------------------------------- With these two definitions out of the way, may we all use our beautiful brains and put two and two together. Constructive criticism is an analysis in which a positive outcome is intended. Where positive change, and positive action, is encouraged. Silencing criticism with a heavy hand leads to loss of communication, which in turn leads to loss of what may be brilliant and helpful analysis. It is literally throwing away free knowledge, and why be so wasteful? Let's leave the banning to the actually dangerous. 'Nuff Said. Cheers to all, cfschris A Noble Scallywag
  5. I generally don't stray from the Naval Action side of the forums, but this post is fantastic and thank you so much for posting it 😎
  6. Greetings my dear fellows, Allow me to share with you a new subreddit, with a subsequent Discord, Snapchat, Minecraft Server, and etc.....it is by far one of the most wonderful communities to have ever graced my figurative e-palate. See you all there, hopefully https://www.reddit.com/r/humansbeingfriends
  7. The most beautiful Indie I've heard in a long, long time....it is an absolute joy and pleasure. Please do enjoy.
  8. This would be incredible....hopefully the devs wish to experiment.
  9. You posit an interesting idea....I feel one would risk inexperienced commanders at times of great importance with this model, however. Experience in tactics and strategy are also critical elements. So I suppose Knowledge would make a good addition to initial list.
  10. Rat bastards. My sympathies for the loss....no honor among thieves, as they say.
  11. Love, love, LOVE this soundtrack. Although I'm certain I'm preaching to the choir 😛
  12. Greetings kind gentlemen and ladies, List your top attributes of a wise leader/well-operated clan here. I shall begin: COMMUNICATION. One must communicate well, first and foremost, for their jolly crew to succeed. STRUCTURE. The intricate knowledge of building a successful organizational structure is critical. Arguably on par with communication....however I feel that communication is without doubt more important. EMPATHY. Without the emotional ability to feel how one's crew feels, one places themselves in a disadvantageous place. - Share your thoughts and musings. I pray that this thread will stand as a resource to the leaders of our wonderful little Carib, and add to the spice of life. With Sincerity, JPJChris
  13. Forgive me — could you elaborate? You posit an interesting thing...
  14. Good sir, I beg you to reconsider. The economy is an indifferent beast, with fortune only favoring the bold....it is quite similar to RL in that regard. Devs: as I'm sure you have already gathered from my previous post, I am a massive proponent of modeling this game off of true-to-life examples. Pay a professional economist to analyze this game's markets! There are actual economists who have analyzed EVE Online's economy, and I'm 100% certain you'll be able to find one which would enjoy analyzing NA. Cordially Yours, JPJChris
  15. I love your thinking....a heatmap and other such tools would be wondrous!
  16. I have immense interest in this proposed guide. Cordially Yours, JPJChris
  17. If you place a contract for an item at or above a certain set price, it fills automatically. Such is the mechanic.

    Ode to Liberty

    Kind ladies and gentlemen, Allow me to share a beautiful poem which I happened upon for the first time only a few evenings ago. Do enjoy. http://poemsintranslation.blogspot.com/2015/07/pushkin-ode-to-liberty-from-russian.html Ode to LibertyBy Alexander PushkinTranslated by A.Z. ForemanClick to hear me recite the original RussianListless Cytherean princess1, singNo more. Begone out of my view! But you, great scourge of tsar and king, Proud Muse of Freedom, where are you? Come rip my laurels off. Bring stones And crush this coddled lyre. Let me Sing to the world of Liberty And shame that scum upon the thrones. Reveal to me the noble path Where that exalted Gaul2 once strode, When you in storied Days of Wrath Inspired in him a dauntless Ode. Now, flighty Fortune's favored knaves, Tremble, O Tyrants of the Earth! But ye: take heed now, know your worth And rise as men, ye fallen slaves! I cannot cast my gaze but see A body flayed, an ankle chained, The useless tears of Slavery, The Law perverted and profaned. Yea, everywhere iniquitous Power in the fog of superstition Ascends: Vainglory's fateful passion, And Slavery's gruesome genius. Heavy on every sovereign head There lies a People's misery, Save where the mighty Law is wed Firmly with holy Liberty, Where their hard shield is spread for all, Where in a Nation's faithful hand Among mere equals in the land The sword can equitably fall3 To smite transgression from on high With one blow, righteously severe In fingers uncorrupted by Ravenous avarice or fear. O Monarchs, ye are crowned by will And law of Man, not Nature's hand. Though ye above the people stand, Eternal Law stands higher still. But woe betide the commonweal Where it is blithely slumbering, Where Law itself is forced to kneel Before the Masses, or the King. Here is the Man: witness he bears To his forebears’ infamous error And in the storm of recent Terror Laid down royal neck for theirs. King Louis to his death ascends4 In sight of hushed posterity, His crownless, beaten head he bends: Blood for the block of perfidy. The Law stands mute, the People too. And down the criminal axe-blade flies And lo! A ghastly purple5 lies Upon a Gaul enslaved anew. You autocratic psychopath,6You and your throne do I despise! I watch your doom, your children's death With hateful, jubilating eyes. Upon your forehead they descry The People’s mark of true damnation. Stain of the world, shame of creation, Reproach on earth to God on high! When on the dark Neva the star Of midnight makes the water gleam, When carefree eyelids near and far Are overwhelmed with peaceful dream, The poet, roused with intellect, Sees the lone tyrant's statue loom Grimly asleep amid the gloom, The palace now a derelict,7 And Clio's8 awesome call he hears Behind those awesome walls of power. Vivid before his sight appears The foul Caligula's last hour. In stars and ribbons he espies Assassins drunk with wine and spite Approaching, furtive in the night With wolfish hearts and brazen eyes. And silent stands the faithless guard, The drawbridge downed without alarm, The gate in dark of night unbarred By treason’s mercenary arm. O shame! O terror of our time! Those Janissary beasts burst in9And slash, the Criminal Sovereign Is slaughtered by unholy crime. Henceforward, Monarchs, learn ye well: No punishment, no accolade, No altar and no dungeon cell Can be your steadfast barricade. The first bowed head must be your own Beneath Law's trusty canopy Then Peoples' life and liberty Forevermore shall guard your throne.
