Cpt Dreadnaught

Great fight all. I'm enjoying fighting the Brits more and more.

Woah Scrump! Respect for holding your ground. Sorry things turned out the way they did. Glad to still have you on this side.

This is why he's notorious^ You can feel the self inflation every time he types something. His reputation also preceded him from Potbs as being someone unsavory. He even has a special spot on his forums for negative posts against him that he flaunts as trophies I guess. It's not at all what he does in game, that stuff doesn't make any difference. It's how he carries himself in other media. I pity the guy really. Think he needs a chill pill or something that way he can have a normal conversation with people.

Roberts, You've been mentioning this exploit business for quite a while now. Please present your proof. Or are you just wildly throwing around accusations? Perhaps you have first hand knowledge of these exploits because of your closeness to the US? No offense intended but seriously provide evidence or it's just going to make you and your clan look bad.

Woah! He speaks!? Why didn't you respond in game? Anyways, I'll let the leadership know you're looking to talk.

Nice job. What's up with the binary though?

The Swedes are not lapdogs. They simply agreed not to pass a boundary and both sides have honored the agreement. Relations grew from there. I cannot speak for pirate leadership but I highly doubt giving up ports will be an option(at this point in time), given the general attitude of the pirate nation. At best you all may be allowed to keep the ports you have and expand elsewhere from those ports, without fear of the pirate nation capturing them. You'd essentially have a safe area around your core ports with added protection because of their proximity to pirate ports. Of course, this is all just my opinion. If such a deal did occur, it could open the floor for more deals in the future, and more cooperation. Baby steps...it would be foolish to give away territory to someone who calls you enemy when you have them nearly entirely removed from the area. Also consider what can the French offer the pirates? How can both sides demonstrate commitment to the agreement? If I anger anyone by saying these things I apologize, I'm simply trying to start a civilized conversation.

At the current rate, I don't see the French having many options. It's either solve things diplomatically or "show the pirates how to be pirates" from one port. If they have their nations best interest at heart I'm sure they could come to an agreement, or at least start a dialogue.

I hope you all had fun, I know I did. We had quite a few good brawls. I mean it, no smack talk intended.

*sigh* Why can't the French be like these Brits. You lot can have some of my rum or cannonballs any day.

Are the letters of marque active yet? If so, I may know some captains who would be interested in cashing in.
