Here is what really happened to the server.
Black had a plan for the wipe why didn't you.
WHY? Every single time there has been a wipe the Nations gang up, and as a group have slammed us to one port and kick us while we were down. We were going to try and stop it this time. We as a group combined and mass produced 1st rates as fast as we could, While also slowly taken ports for marks. The main goal of to build even more 1st rates and then we lvled them all of them. While many Nations wanted to RVR and PVP we put a self imposed limit on our selves for the long term Future of the pirates. We defended all ports when needed until got pushed to far.And so it began!
The US would not leave it be, constantly beating their bird chest, attacking ports attempting to Duel flip . So we punched them in the Nose and took Sav. The US caved for Brit support and Shot them selves in the foot and Still to this Day have not even stopped the bleeding.
They Lost every port in Gulf for support that never amounted to anything. As the Brit Nation Grew to big. It is, Was, and Will never Change its all about numbers. And they Had them.
The whole Time Pirates Steadily pushing out more and more 1st rates and getting slots(I expect a nerf and any time now, now that most have all five slots in most 1st rates and the Nations do not).Welcome to the other problem once we(Pirate) established that we are the Dominate Nation(Yes we are a Nation) in organization skills. And the nations/Devs plan to stifle the Pirates Failed after completely changing how slots xp worked, removal of pvp marks, how getting Permits worked, Etc more or less everything we did was removed, So the other Nations would stop crying. But we kept Adapting.
The worse thing you can ever do to a well skilled and organized group... you wish to hamper, is give that organization a goal. They gave it to pirates. Up until this point in Game there was no clear cut who was winning, who was not. Enter the bullshit of Victory marks, I get it it should have been easy who every has the most people should get most reward. But Once the Pirates had a goal it was over for the nations. It was over before the 1st week was out and everyone knew it. Then they Nerf how many VM you get, We still on top. Then they made it were VM didn't mean crap, and everyone and the Dog could have a 1st rate..... None of that maters we are still on top.With that all said
We have and are still taken a hit with the French in PVP at the moment. Not because we can't do it, we just didn't/don't have the Ships and Slots on many of the Ships to Fight head to head at that moment. So we had to take a beating for a week or So near mort. We listen to bird chest getting pounded we don't need Dots bla bla. From a Nation almost 2 hours away from home. Then they(French) slipped, falling into a hype induced entitlement coma. hello kittyed up and Flipped a port on us(Pirate) for some unknown reason. This one act has changed the server as we know it!!! The ramifications wont be seen for weeks to come.Every Single Post in last two or three weeks has been to nerf Pirates in some way. Or being accused of Hacks, exploits, Alt abuse, Let us not forget the Cheaters. With nothing from the Mods to quail this, outright , other than me getting ban for saying DRINK to much. Nations are given a free pass to spew off the chain bullshit to get your side excited... But in realty, As my not so Subtle friend once pointed out GETGOOD get organized. The French are doing it and Brits are following suit with the US well we will have to see. They may have an edge on right NOW, but I am not to worried, but it appears most are that we will adapt again. Just look at post over last 2 weeks.

Either there will be an end game state or not. If there is no end game state then the game will, as all other fighting games have done, slowly loose player base and then fade. Naval action has brought together both the FPS game AND the strategic game play of a 4x game. Brilliant! It does however need an end game, or failing that, a way to slow down conquest so that the end game is ever near but very hard to get to.
Most games have a mechanic integral to them that slows expansion down either by making that next step increasingly more and more expensive ( requiring some cost of in-game resources not just money ) or is level / achievement gated ( you have to have x things before you can add one more y ). This can be simulating the ever increasing cost of managing a wide flung empire across a vast area. Spain, of course, had the new world wealth to pay for its expansion until Charles V blew most of it on fighting the reformation, and even they didn't get the whole enchilada.
Slowing down expansion will also solve the bandwagon effect where players move en mass from one or more "losing" nations to the perceived winner. Naval Action works best when the pot is simmering gently and hostilities are gradually increasing as is the player tension.
How about a maintenance mechanic whereby the nation that has captured a county must kill some amount of BR of enemy in that county's zone of influence ( not its own and no Pirate Shenanigans ) each period and that this cost diminish over time to allow the nation to move on to other conquests? Perhaps these could be missions and allow newer players to contribute in lower rated ships ( humm lower rated ships higher number..bah! ) This would force captains out of the ale houses (internet cafes) and back into their ships in the ow and play to Naval Actions biggest strength the OW combat mini-game. The more counties the nation hold the higher initial maintenance cost of the newest county.

The current Danish strategy of making France go Bankrupt buying dock space for all the captured ships..may very well work.

News from Denmark is that The French have captured 5 ships from JOJO (CCCP) alone. How many more can they have. Danish chat is quite toxic..well not really since CCCP rarely say anything ( worth reading that is ). The Free Danes applaud the French efforts.

With all the trading ships lost by Sweden and Denmark its good you have efficient craters..

On to the 4th page! Seriously, thank you Vernon for doing your part to fill Slamz' post with so much meaningless gibberish that it becomes the most viewed post on Naval Action. Once Vllad and Barbancourt get back from eating crayons and trying to be awesome, please pass my thanks to them as well. With the help of lesser-pvpers like yourselves we can definitely make this happen. Slamz has done so much for the Naval Action community as I'm sure you'll agree, and I can't think of a more fitting shrine to his greatness than a ton of pages filled with absolute rubbish. This is the least we can do for him.
In fact, I was in the middle of my prayers to Slamz in between my poor attempts at PVP last night, and I was thinking - if we could just throw some more meme's up here I bet we could draw this post out further in a less amount of time. They are larger and cover more space on the page. Plus there is the added benefit of you not actually having to generate a cogent argument or use your brain and the page just looking more colorful. Less head pain - more color!
What say you? Shall we progress to page 5 together? For Slamz?
P.S. Shoutout to PURGE for sailing that Bellona all the way to Christianstead and then handing it over last night. I'll bet you can guess who I INSISTED we name it after?Nothing drys as fast as a tear....

Where did DICS get their sailing lessons...Pirates? Hope they have a lot more ships.

"French want to fight in OW" is an illusion.
Your first instinct is to run and defensive tag an AI fleet whenever you don't have a decisive advantage, bringing the battle as close as possible to your "home port" so you can switch to heavier ships or regain some other clear advantage.
There is nothing inherently wrong with such tactics except the pretence of moral superiority and the mental masturbation on Global chat.
There is also a very clear contradiction between the "this is how France wants to play the game", the free port culture, and the multi-page bitching whenever you stand to lose a port. If dots don't mean a thing, then why are some claiming that the Danes are trying to "subjugate" anyone? Why is the other long thread on this forum revolve entirely around Dutch and Swedes cycling a dot a few days earlier than French preferred? Where's the Pearl Harbor if it's just a blue dot?
I was on the sidelines of the ICS / Danes debacle, and saw how toxic the rest of France was on this issue - you could have ended the conflict by asking ICS to apologize and pay a fine. Instead you worked persistently to kill them off entirely in France. You trolled them into pointless arguments and proceeded to push them out of the nation, calling them a PvE clan despite their RvR and group PvP activity - simply because their play style was more about nation building and training recruits instead of roaming and ganking. You cut off your right hand because it wasn't identical to your left.
You wanted several days of warning from the Danes, where were your several days of warning to the Pirates? Where was the wardec?
P.S. Is it true that a certain individual actually used Racial slurs against Chinese players on Global or Nation chat? I have the information second-hand.
About as wrong as you can get. ICS NEVER , with an exception of 1-2 members who left ICS after they saw what a circus it was, RVR'd. ALL of the other French clans did the heavy lifting , but boy were they happy to show up for the Marks, and when ICS got edged out of a port battle due to not having enough points, they had their Danish pals "accidentally" make it non us prime time so they could get in. ICS refused to grind any Danish port and when left to their own devices failed to get contention ONCE over the 100% mark.
Get you facts straight pal...or stop posting eh?

I would like to see an increasing cost, not sure what the cost would be maybe a reduction in tax revenue as a percentage to the total %, , to claiming more and more ports. In most games this will slow down the leader and prevent the Rich get Richer and the Poor get children effect. I agree with the notion that capitol areas should be "safe' for new players but not a safe haven for risk adverse captains.
You could allow purchase of "Shares" in these war companies, with the nation that licensed them hold a fairly large portion of shares. This would add in a nice economic play for those interested in that side of the game. Have these shares grant a dividend at the end of a fixed period for income gained by ports controlled by the War company, after the King's cut of course.
How about adding the ability to post bounties on Players by War companies collectable by any player and redeemable in the nation capitol of the war company.

Be aware that this happens every day.

This only proves the perfidy of CCCP.

And the CCCP harassment continues even after promises that it will stop. We now expect a Full Public Apology from CCCP and their allies to be posted here or there will be no possibility of reconsideration.

As a Norwegian I can confirm that the Danish language version of the text in the OP is obvious google translate. Although my confirmation is not necessary, just put the english language text at the bottom into Google Translate and it produces the exact text above. OP is obviously not a dane IRL and the effort to appear so is either suggestive of role-play or something else..
Our native speakers are on Eu and preparing to move here is the interest is high enough.

Your clan is new in the nation. They lived without you for 2 years. You have been there for over a month. As far as I see you are an "immigrant" who wants to change the culture of the nation to what suits you. You are not prepared to accept the culture of the nation you have moved in. Your own fault.
BLACK and CCCP are allied. If you are not supporting CCCP then its fair to say you are an open target for our boyz too?
Could you please confirm your clan tags so we know who not to trustIf you think you must, come and play. Might be good for Pirate morale considering the drubbing you took at the hands of Great Britain.

Here's the record of events:
You show up under 24 hours ago and post that you exist, that you switched to the Global Server, that you will be playing on it as the Danes, and that all agreements are null and void.
Dutch start notifying members of the danger, but people wake up and login in various places and it takes time to spread the information about the hostility.
You attack a Dutch trader within those first hours, well clear of the 24 hours people typically provide, exploiting this information gap to make a quick profit.
It's your right to build that kind of reputation, and our right to record the facts as they happened.
You may believe what you want. The facts are that we've been Denmark for over a month and since there is no PUBLIC posting on this form of what ever nefarious deals you Dutch have made with CCCP who can say they actually exist can they? Just another example of some Unilateral bulling of smaller clans.
Either way...too bad for you...better bring warships, and players that know how to fight to escort your traders from now on.
Cheers!

@ OP:
Why are you attacking Neutral Dutch Traders?
If you ACTUALLY represent some part of Danish interests why have you NOT notified Dutch 24H in advance before engaging in hostile actions - the trade agreement is multiple weeks old. Where were you during all these events.
WHY IS YOUR FORUM ACTIVITY 3 HOUR OLD, AND NOT AT LEAST A WEEK DURING THESE PAST NEGOTIATIONS?
Awfully convenient to show up on forums MERE HOURS after French threaten CCCP. Are you an actual Danish player or just a French/British alt trying to stir drama?
We've been around for over a month and our interaction with CCCP has never been good. Today was the last straw with them tagging in our traders with AI fleets, as I've said before it was no accident..CCCP just thinks they can bully or ignore anyone not in CCCP.
This is our way of telling them enough is enough and leave us be.

If you dislike CCCP agreements that were made in your absence, you should have provided all parties involved 24 hours notice that all agreements are removed. You were not an active member of Denmark-Norge when it was written.
Attacking our traders in under a day since showing up on the map will not earn you any respect.
You seem to behave awfully similar to the French, conveniently trying to isolate Denmark and further sabotage it's reputation.
Just be aware that players in the US playtime do not interact much with CCCP and when we do we are bullied, threatened or ignored. Today was the last straw with WatterMMT and friends tagging in our traders with hostile AI, it wasn't a mistake but quite deliberate.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. We've been in Denmark for almost a Month now and are bringing over a dozen or so members from Eu..and perhaps a dozen more from the other two clans.
Are these agreements posted somewhere we can find? Or is this another unilateral agreement between the "top" clans like ICS/ CCCP agreemnt we heard about after the fact.
Any road you are welcome to sail into Danish waters with what ever you feel like risking.

Vi Danmarks frie klaner hermed nu og for altid afviser nogen traktater og aftaler, der er afgivet af Clan CCCP. Vi har til hensigt at gå om vores normale forretning, men vil forsvare eller angribe enhver, der truer vores velstand og trivsel. Visse kaptajner i CCCP har med ondsindet hensigt ført ubevæbnede erhvervsdrivende til kamp uden for danske havne med det ene formål at have de samme ubevæbnede forhandlere nedsænket af fjendtlige kampanter. Derudover har CCCP-kaptajner krævet, at de frie danske klaner ikke forsvarer danske havne mod aggression af deres marionet allierede svenskerne for gevinster gennem undefended erobringer. En sådan klar tilsidesættelse af landsmænds sikkerhed og velvære vil ikke længere blive tolereret. Vær opmærksom på, at herfra på Christiansted og de omkringliggende farvande er grænser for alle ikke-danske kaptajner. Vær opmærksom på, at eventuelle forsøg fra svenske kaptajner til at angribe og holde danske besiddelser vil blive udfordret. Reds, Dolk, ReaversWe the free clans of Denmark do hereby now and forever reject any treaties and agreements made by the Danish Clan CCCP. We intend to go about our normal business but will defend or attack any who threaten our prosperity and well-being.
Certain captains in the CCCP have, with malicious intent, brought unarmed traders into battle outside Danish ports with the sole purpose of having those same unarmed traders sunk by enemy combatants. In addition CCCP captains have demanded that the free Danish clans do not defend Danish ports from aggression by their puppet allies the Swedes for gains made thru undefended conquests.
Such a clear disregard for the safety and well being of fellow countrymen will no longer be tolerated.
Be on notice that from here on Christiansted and surrounding waters are off-limits to any and all non-Danish captains. Be aware that any attempt by Swedish Captains to attack and hold any Danish possessions will be challenged.
