This is what I dont get either. Why no XP for capturing ships when its much much harder to do at lower levels than sinking? I can see no gold since your getting the ship and its cargo, but it should at least give XP for the effort. Makes no sense.

I just want to know who Snowflake is, and how he offended the OP so badly.

I can assure you Bigmo is not an alt. I was flight simming with him way back in the 90's way before all of these video games came out . Epic purse fight in this thread though. Carry on keyboard champions. LOL

Egos be damned , were allies again with a nation that has 11 ports all the way across the map. I swear some of you would screw up a wet dream. LOL Fix the politics please ( who gets to vote and how many times... i.e alts= 0 votes) I dont care if my Vic has super rare unobtanium oak railings . LOL

What we have now for an alliance is a result of voting by one group , and their alliance alts. At the onset, there were at least 5-6 other smaller groups that opposed this but were powerless to do anything about it despite what all the propaganda would have one believe. The mechanics of Politics are fundamentally broken and need fixing. I believe , and at the very least hope, that this is being monitored by the developers and is addressed accordingly. One group in any nation should not have that much "pull" or the rest of that nation is subject to their decisions. Which in recent history has certainly shown not always to be the best thing for the nation for sure. Player controlled mmo games have always failed. I think to an extent the core game mechanics should prevent this.

The things in the red boxes? Those are for shooting the enema.

Problem is the noobs don't get invited into battle groups because of 2 things. 1- they are not part of the 'clique" . And 2- the fear of spies. The second one could be helped if you didnt have admitted alts posting in nation chat (summer006). The first one is a little more complicated since noobs are often shunned and labeled care bears or farmers. But that seems to be lightening up a bit here lately. I try to offer up info whenever I see a question being asked. But my time ingame is getting to be less and less thee days.

Now THATS how you end an agreement gentlemanly. Some could take a lesson from this. Salute!

Don't waste your time man. He wasn't even around then. He's going on hearsay.

Well, not exactly. The Pirates asked for Corientes until they took Conttoy as a jumping off point and then GB could take it after. Then Corientes was taken ,while the pirates were in another battle mind you so they couldn't do anything about, meanwhile a back door deal was being made with the US unbeknown to any of us. Herein lies the backstabbing. Irrelevant now really though, it is what it is. I've learned that its better to be a little more aware of whats going on around you , and not let someone with an ego you need to carry in a wheelbarrow make decisions for me. A good learning experience. At least we come away a little smarter.

Gee that's funny. I don't even recall you being there at the time.Never saw you on teamspeak , or in game or group. Is this the story as it was told to you, or did you surmise all of this?

Lots of mis information floating around. Understandably so given the turn of events and the desire to remain "popular". Funny stuff. Truth of the matter is is that many players keep beating the " Doesn't matter, port wipe is coming" drum and furthering the misinformation. Its really more of a dis service since the port wipe , given the mechanics that are going to be involved going ahead' isn't going to be the " magic bullet" everyone is touting it to be. As a matter of fact its playing right into the hands of the tactics that are killing us now. And our alliance is totally useless , but the same majority keep voting it in (that system needs fixed as well if this game is to survive) because of active badgering of the new players who don't know better. We've been in working alliances before, and this aint it. Hell, the Dutch do more for us , and they are a fraction of the size of our "allies". I'd leave , but its like a train wreck. I just.. have to... stay... and... watch. Good time for crafting anyways. If anything, I hope that this all provides useful info for further development. Happy sailing.

Funny thing is ,Its them jack asses that are paying that price. we'll just call it "payment for the colossal fuck up against the pirates since we now have no ports to trade out of thanks to you (CKA) guys". LOL

Funny thing is hojo makes like he knows me. I've never sailed with him. He never showed up until after I stopped associating with CKA. Then he makes me out to be a merchant when in reality I've probably PVP'd 10x more than he has. Ask any one.Then proceeds to say" oh I was only joking , I explained that and you left that out" to make him look less then the tool that he is. Bullshit. Prove it. Lies and misinformation. Your fooling less and less misguided newbies every day , they're figuring it out in case you didn't know it.

Yeah i know , you never stir the pot right? 15 mins ago... Here again, minding my own business, you can see the chat. You guys are whats wrong with GB not only in your politics on a stick , but in morale as well. Just a heads up, I received about 10 PM's from many other players/ clans at that moment telling me what tools you guys are. Might want to change heading and course bub.

Man, I guess we have swapped some cannon balls eh? Back before it got all politic on a stick. Hehe. Good times man. S!

Did you mis the part where I was minding my own business? Or are you trying to sell more mis information? You guys are good at that at least. You and our US allies dont really do anything for our side , but you do do BS very well.

If you do anything they deem suspicious or disagreeable to them they will attack you en mass in chat and in private like a bunch of teen aged school girls. This all happened after warwick completely out of the blue called me out saying I was collaborating with Rebel to start a secret GB pirate clan. I was minding my own business crafting , had'nt said a word in hours. What they do is get the new guys on TS , trash talk anyone they dislike and give free ships and money like candy to trick or treaters. I've never in 25 years of online gaming seen such a disgraceful , embarrassing and pathetic juvenile display by a bunch of 40+ year olds. CKA and friends , just like Home Depot. So many tools under one roof.

Gee, thats funny. If I'm so twisted up about things, how come you guys keep harassing me in private in game accusing me of spying on you? I could'nt really care less what you are doing honestly. I'm minding my own business doing my own things and you guys cant seem to let the anger go amongst your free money and ship giveaways to cover up starting all this shit instead of fixing it. Funny, you guys used to make fun of you know who for that, now you all acting like him. It didnt surprize me from some of the CKA guys , but it kinda did from you guys. Thought you all were more mature than that. whatever.

Thats funny. Stubbing used to do the same thing. Free ships and free money. Expensive to be popular LOL Oh , it did. And they did.

Thats just buggery. Buggery I tell you!

Yeah, you did say that, because its better to go out of your way and exaggerate someone else into being worse than you guys rather than own up for what you have done like most people with integrity would. Make no mistake , I could easily go pirate , but I'm not a quitter. And I have integrity. Thats why Im still GB , hoping that the biggest clan on our side will stop running and hiding and fix this which you have started completely on your own. Also when we made an agreement with the Pirates , I committed to what we ,all of us, said we would do. And was vocal against starting a war with them while making a back door with the US. (hows that going BTW? laughable) Integrity again. Your yard gnome leader does not know what the word means , this is why I cut all ties with your group immediately. It was a shitty thing to do to anyone. Doesn't matter if it was the pirates , or the man on the moon. Ive already heard agreement from some of your group on that in private. They are afraid to say anything because you brand them as traitors and spys as well. You and our leader ought to be ashamed of yourselves. And yes , we can all say " Oh its just a game , no big deal" but in reality you have to accept real life time and energy the Pirates ,and a lot of them, put into basically handing us 30+ ports as allies before they were treated in such a manner by your fearless (laugh) leader. I can fully understand why they, or any normal person would be pissed. So ,You can keep coming in here trying to drag me through the mud to cover your groups fuc ups, but make no mistake I will inform every person I can while you continue this. And guess what, when they are shown the truth, they are shocked. And all they see from you guys is you spouting the garbage that comes out of your mouth. You may as well go back to bashing the new players , because in the end the truth always comes out. Oh , and I must be cheap enough on the ships, you are the ones buying them. Are those the ones your giving away for free in your effective less PR campaign trying to patch things up with the rest of GB for what you have brought on the rest of us with your actions ?

Their allies were burning our nation down while you guys and you US allies did nothing. I take that back , the US pulled a few fake flags . I bet the US is getting a good laugh out of this at least. Still its good that your now giving "huzza's " and attaboys in nation to the new players instead of bashing them like you were.

Again, your assumptions make you look the fool. I dont fish. I moved 8 ships out of KPR tagging traders and teleporting. That vic you saw was 1 of 5 I moved. As far as taking a break, a break from what? attacking the Danes , Hiding in Haiti? LOL And dont associate your newly founded full press public relations campaign trying to make you not look like cowards with those clans who have been fighting this fight since you disappeared after starting this fight with the pirates. They've been taking losses for 2 weeks, you've been taking losses for 2 days.

Wow, Pirates taking 10 GB ports tonight. Wonder where our US/GB ally groups are?
