To M. Blackknight, your suposition that I am mistaken on the facts are quite inaccurate; I present to you a post from another thread to reread, it should clearify your thought. Be sure to note the style and argument as you imitate... err excuse me, write posts.
To the multiple statements that Britain has no claim to the Lesser Antilles, I submit to everyone a starting map of the Caribbean. The West Indies Squadron has been fighting to reconquer these ports since the beginning, that is Our Casus Belli. The French and the British know all to well Our intentions; do not pretend ignorance.
Note that I have taken the liberty of highlighting the British and Swedish Port(s). Do pardon the quality.
Gentlemen, it was a fine attempt to factionalize Britain against itself, but alas we are more resilient than to fall prey to forum diplomacy. If you put the same gusto into naval warfare as you did this pursuit, the war may have been decided long ago.
Your cassus belli is pathetic. You have plenty of ports.... The only valid reason you have for your aggression is that you are bored or you are too scared to fight the big bad USA.

Hah,
The Brits control over 90 ports and they need more resources? Something tells me this was a lie.
That is what I was going to say. Need resources? Go look in your 90 other ports you bloody english dogs! Like two more ports in Swede territory is going to make a difference.

We [uSA] defended a port vs 20+ pirates, then attacked a port defended by about 20 pirates fought them in open water, the brits took that time to attack another cuba port we had, sure they took it, there was no one able to get there to defend it, while the brits were successful i doubt it is entertaining to fight those five towers over and over.
Player vs Tower is super boring, I agree. Until proper land is added, these battles are serious snoozefests unless a ton of players show up to defend.

The issue of losing players is not poor leadership it's the game, it's becoming boring for a lot and extremely bland with nothing to do, there has been an extreme drop in players in the last 2 weeks.
Did you read his post? Slamz just said that in order to prevent people from getting bored you have to do stuff that is fun (logically). Sitting around and being peaceful is no fun. Making risky plays, geting in huge battles, and exploding are fun. The issue is entirely with the leadership. YOU need to get off your ass and get your clan into an all out war. If you do little battles once a week and stuff, then yes, people will get bored and leave. You need to change it up. Make a risky play. Do something that is challenging. Try to take a florida port. Go after the east coast. Do something FUN. You have the perfect map position to do pretty much anything you want! Bloody hell mate, stop whining that there is nothing to do and go organize an attack on Yank's jugular. It isn't rocket science.

lol they only fight when they outnumber people
When the faintest aroma of a even fight blows across the wind, the brits jump in their cutters. The point of the cutter strategy is not to die en masse to frigates. The point is to try to hit targets that are alone and weak. That is guerilla tactics 101.
-
Two days of fighting and they have already given up on head to head engagements in favor of cutters.

Im considering switching sides in the near future.. is it necessary to grow my armpits, change my sexual preferences, and eat snails if I wish to become french?
If you like shooting cannonballs at players more than you like waffling about your rank and fighting bots, then maybe France is the nation for you.
Also, I am american and what not, but snails with garlic are delicious.

Leave it to the Danes to put a fight. It is always the little guys that know how to have a good time.
Battle lasted for 1:15:00. It was damn close for a while. I tried to demast, and gave up. After a long while of dancing with him I went for his bow sprit and eventually destroyed it. He lost speed and I opened the distance and took his other two masts with my longs. After that I had to kill a stationary but mostly full health trincomalee. He kept only showing his bow but eventually I worked down his starboard and sunk him. He played a very good game.

To the West Indies Squadron,
It seems to me that the root of the quarrel in Puerto Rico is based around the utter disorganization the Royal Navy is riddled with internally. The primary fear of many French captains is that a brazen British Admiral may direct his cohorts into French Republican waters. The French are just now finishing off the last invader of our land. While many French captains and crews itch for more combat, the average colonial citizen is weary from occupation by pirate slavers and criminals. If the general public had peace of mind that another invasion was not imminent, then mayhaps they would call for the liberation of Louisiana from our former American allies. The primary and most pressing concern is the security of our borders. The Swedish front is stable and peaceful, but the meddling of the Royal Navy means that our ports are still at risk.
While your intentions may be peaceful at heart, we can't trust the Royal Navy as a whole, due to the rampant disorder. A colony you subjugate with a lawful cassus belli, may later be used by a less admirable squadron as a logistical base for piracy and pillaging. Unless you can rid the Royal Navy of the backstabbing buccaneers in hiding, you cannot be trusted by the Republic of France.
In light of these raiders, vagabonds and warhawks in your ranks, the prudent choice of action for France is create as much distance as possible from the Royal Navy. Just as it would be a rash decision to stand near a smoldering powderkeg, it would be a folly to let the Royal Navy sail anywhere close to French waters. I would much rather watch the inevitable conflagration from a reasonably secure distance, preferably behind a sturdy partition. This line of thinking is the reason the French Republic is in favor a free Denmark-Norway and Sweden.
Sincerely,
Captaine de Vaisseau Michel de Toulouse.

What a fight! Now that the pirates ports are no longer a threat down south, I think you will be seeing more French ships to aid your righteous cause.
Also, something that is annoying. Every large faction always tries to stay that they are " the 2nd or 3rd largest on the server". You can't all be second or third largest you muppets. The USA and UK are about the same size if you ask me so stop whining that you are the little guy getting pushed around when you clearly aren't. The Swedes, and French and possibly the pirates are easily the most PVP experienced factions in the game right now. You Brits and Yanks have a lot of catching up to do if you want to close the experience gap. You might have the ships, but as SoulPYTHON's sreenshots clearly show, you can't sail them worth a damn.

i heard that the pirates went french and now some french players are helping the pirates and swedes.
I mean OMG did go french but saying we are helping the remaining pirates is a farce.
-
it's a shame, the french, swedes and pirates have all joined together. Is suspicious that the pirates decided to go swedish and french but still help each other in the end.. why not just stay pirate? very fishy.
haha wut? The french and pirates joined together? Open your eyes mate. We have taken all their ports in the last couple days.

Aydze is Murphey Law, infamous only for his own poor skill set and second only to Margret Bonny when it comes to pvp based tourette's, were it me I wouldn't bother responding to the kid mate.
I actually cried when I read this.
I'll just post this here

The British aggressors took Spanish town from the swedes. They have made their position clear.

Butt kicked? Only one ship sank!

I love how you put quotation marks around a statement I never made. Maybe you should read more carefully. I said "an entire fleet" pretty sure Third rates, Consitutions, Trincomalee's and the 15 other assorted ships that showed up counts as a fleet.
Oh you are just nitpicking. *facepalm*

So then it is fair to assume that an upstanding gentlemen such as yourself has never engaged in a battle in which you had your opponent outmatched? I highly doubt this to be the case. You seem to have the false impression that I am somehow upset by the events that took place last night, which i can assure you is not the case. I am definitely surprised however that the Pirates... oh wait sorry the "French" felt the need to sail an entire fleet north to counter a fleet of 8 people. For a group of people that claim to want PvP you seem to do everything you possibly can to deter it. If the Swedish cannot muster a fleet within sight of their national capital to defeat 8 frigates then I'm not sure what to tell you.
"Our entire fleet". Many of us were in the south last night. You had 1 french clan and the swedes. Many of us were around Guayaguayare in the port battle.

Roberts has gone from mildly annoying and someone to laugh at, to down right insulting people. Act your age mate... I can't believe this has to be said.
As for the topic. I agree with PURGE and OMG. If you want to keep players around you need to have fun. The current port battle mechanics are reinforcment mechanics are the biggest preventors of fun from happening and I don't think any patch will be a "major content update" until those issues are addressed because currently they are the most unfun and cause 95% of arguments and disputes on the forums.
I agree that the grinding is a bit much for people that don't play every day. Hell, I didn't get on once this weekend because it was my 21st birthday and I was seeing my family and friends. While people that play more should rank up faster (obviously) and should have an advantage in skill and ship, I don't think it should be the case where the guys that play more can win without a fight even occuring like the current BR mechanic works.
