Arrr me fellow scurvy dogs
It is with a heavy heart and somber thought that I announce very dark news indeed. OMG, bribed by the cheese and wine from the treacherous French have given up the life of wenching and anarchy have joined the ranks of the forked tonged frogs. As if this treachery was not enough the clan Invictus also gave up the life of wenching and anarchy and abandoned us scurvy dogs to drink tea with the redcoats. This left only Crimson Flotilla and other individual pirates left to defend our pirate empire. The French dogs using most underhanded tactics, launched surprise attacks on several of our ports while we were asleep from a night of drinking. With two daggers stuck into our backs and a combined assault from French, British, American, and Dutch armadas it looks like our pirate empire will fall.
This is however not the end for the pirates. We who still believe in anarchy and the finer things in life shall continue to fly the jolly roger. We will be the nation in exile hunting down those traitors who have stabbed us in the back. We shall lurk by the shores and continue to rape, pillage, and burn. We will become the stuff of nightmares that will keep children and captains alike, awake at night. The pirate empire may be no more but we are far from done.
