Then it should have been part of the agreement. Only thing what matters is black on white.
hmm, perhaps that is something to consider next time you broker a deal with someone. And as i say it was SCAR and DICS who flipped the port.

shrug, regardless peopleare having fun on the forums and in the game again. Drama is good for population.

VCO will begin it's resupply efforts through the lend lease program to help out the beleaguered fighters around la torture combating the backstabbing Pirates and Danes.
Give em hell boys. You made fasti change nations once already, see if you can do it again.
actually, the clan made me change and it was because people spent more time arguing and bickering about who was the worst at turning up.

Pirate ports were not part of the France-CCCP agreement. We are at total war now, for the rest of the game.
cccp were allied with pirates at the time of the agreement.

News Flash!
CCCP @chailang Pearl Harbor the FrenchTreaty Broken Without Mandated 72 Hour Warning
"Most dishonorable", says noted French Admiral Slamz, "but we knew CCCP could not be trusted to maintain their deals. This is also a failure of negotiations through the Pirates and a stain upon the honor of @Duncan McFail as we have no doubt they will not hold up the enforcement end of this treaty at this time. Let this be a warning to all other nations: you cannot treat with BLACK or CCCP. They have no honor and hold to no agreements they make. Why they couldn't at least stay honorable enough to use the 72 hour escape clause, I cannot fathom."
CCCP grind groups were seen personally running up contention at the French ports and the port battle time was set shortly thereafter. Former-British transplant SCAR clan and CCCP sycophant clan DICS, formerly known as the ICS clan from France, were also noted to be in attendance.
French citizens are advised to evacuate any holdings and to prepare to survive as a one-port nation.
When questioned about the French strategy, Admiral Slamz stated "the policy of the French nation is to continue sinking ships. Port ownership is largely irrelevant and most of the French clans already operate completely independent of French ports. We will continue to do what we have been doing, which is taking ships from the Pirates whenever we need a new one. And now we can take the 1st rates of the Danes as well, who we know love to run solo 1st rate missions outside of their capital waters. Any younger French captains are encouraged to acquire high speed ships capable of catching and sinking the enemy and they may wish to contact the more veteran French clans for assistance in this if needed."
At the time of this publication, the French port of Grande Terre has been fully scheduled for a port battle by the Denmark clan of CCCP.
OK firstly CCCP did not start the action. SCAR and DICS did. 2ndly you flipped a port of an ally and thus triggered a response. I actually commend CCCP for actually honouring the alliance between themselves and the pirates. I personally have had discussions with them regarding this prior to it happening and reality is Alliance was clearly stated in the nation status post for a while. We have not actually taken the port /ports yet and you haven't taken the pirate port yet so perhaps you can think of this more as posturing than breaking the deal at this point.
right now were are on the brink of breaking into a full conflict. No one has been hurt yet....whats your play?
as you can see in your screen caps there has been a discussion about Diplo and what people actually want to do. We also said that although chailang wants to break the deal we had to wait for you to break it. so really all you are doing is highlighting that we wanted to move but were hand tied. You then attacked an allied port which triggered a response. If you also looked at nation chat today there was also me saying to chailang that the French attacked the pirates and that the alliance was there before the NAP and you're allowed to respond. You might want to think about how you look at diplomacy if you think you can isolate yourselves with NAPs.
Again at this moment you have a decision to make as to whether you are a PVP nation who lives in freeports with a happy few ports at home Or you are an RvR nation with all the good and bad that holds.

Yes, rat on rat battles stay open, and screeners have attempted to join those battles. However, rats run for miles and miles away from the original battle spot. So when a screening fleet joins in, there is no way in hell they can catch up to the running rats.
The devs need to fix this and place the joining enemy down wind near those already in the battle rather than in the battle's original location. or...
they could make an In-Battle circle that if you sail outside the circle for too long you are automatically thrown back into Open World.thats actually a resonably possible thing to do....with the controlperk they already have the code to keep people in so the reverse should be possible.

we had some one the other day with it also and relogging wouldnt solve it.

@koltes, the decisions I am referring to are more about development and integrity stances over nation chats/alts in general and such. These decisions are at best a poor choice and at worse a money grabbing exercise.

I actually enjoy the long sails. The feeling of being alone (usually!) in a vast sea. Watching the horizon for two hours, relief when a concealing storm blows through, and the first sight of land on the horizon. We all know where most of the players hang out doing their economy and grinding. It's nice to have quiet corners of the map where you're studying the trees and wondering if anyone has been here in a month.
Not sure that you are the majority since many people leave the game or cannot put in those hours of sailing to get a combat option.

Didn't adding battle groups address this issue?
I think the devs suck at managing this stuff as much as anyone and have many issues with decisions etc but if they did something to address it.
I would also put forth that another fix to this would be that if there is no activity in a battle log for 2 minutes the battle should immediately exit. The argument of people wanting to go to the toilet etc after a battle is pretty much addressed by light speed on exit and logging at sea. Again it wont fix the issue but would cause people to actively partake in the not sinking but only tagging of a cutter.
I also think that this is not an attack on Black. Just that it is trying to tie the dev/tribunal team to actually stating and upholding their own ruleset which clearly they cannot do. I would be aggressively forcing alts to be the same nation and the mains by IP tracking. I would be being hyper aggressive towards ethical decisions if I thought they were against funzors.
I am however not a dev for the game nor a mod so interpreting the rules is a bit grey as everyone can agree.

So far I have to say I like most all the new changes. Pvp is working well. RvR needs a few tweaks here and there but all in all I am finding this fun and challenging.
One thing I wish wasn't happening is all the complaining by players who expected this to just be the continuation on last years PVP2. It's just slowing us all down with useless emotional drama.
I could get into a long list of differences between pre and post wipe but I won't. I'm just going to say that every nation is viable and has a role to play. The easiest way to get some fun going is not to worry so much about winning port battles. Just go out there and make something happen win or lose. Try NOT to do exactly what you would have done on old pvp2. Get creative and use the new rule set. Short of Spain I can't think of one nation out there that doesn't have huge potential and that's just because Spain has no players.
What would your strategy be if you were The King of your nation?
This may be global specific:-
Population is too low for this size map by a long way. unless your on at US primetime there is a lot of screensaver time going on. Close the gulf from selam/barataria west and increase open world sail speed by another 25% IMO to make it semi viable.
PvP only works in a small area and the bulk of the map is screensaver.
RvR is broken and although the idea of port battles is nice it has a detrimental affect to the game when you can flip ports to PB in such a short time and there is very limited ways to counteract it. For instance if someone starts grinding hostility. unless it is less than an hours sail you may as well just prep for a PB. Fleet resetting and OP fleeting created this problem and war supplies changes hurt defence as much as hindered attacks. Make port battles 15 v 15 may help that for this population level also since it is unlikely that you will get 30% of the online population into one spot at any time of the day.
the system needs to scale down.
As the new king of the danish I will be taking ports to establish the danes as 2nd on the scoreboard with multiple port flips with minimal numbers in ports. We will then not defend the ports and retake them after a week to display that in the current form the scoreboard is 100% gameable. I will also diplo our way into having access to PVP without screensaver time as best i can. During which time it will become toxic in global chats because the timezoning of PBs will be out of everyones timezones.
The dev's will spend their time avoiding the issue saying it is a global server and if they wanted to have PBs at set times they should join the EU server which actually changed because of this issue.

Wow, hardware, things are looking up at that end, does that mean you are going to at least have a painting of a "period town" in the Port UI with your Nation Faction flag showing???
That might help with the lack of serious MMO basics not being implemented into the Game.
can you link to it in the unity asset register?
-
oh well that sucks. perhaps these could be done in the EU timeslot since were not the eu timeslot server?
good news though. any chance we can get the gulf removed since theres no population?

global stuck on maintenance again...pls feed hamsters

The fact that we have to defend broken mechanics to defeat broken mechanics goes to show how awful the RVR in its entirety is.
Devs need to look at reworking conquest ASAP, because its broken as can be
they were told to turn off open world in april last year. since then there's been layers and layers put in to try to fix something that is a fundamental flaw. The devs are less than good at their job and recent patches are just moving further back into the "we don't have any clue" basket

Sorry, I didn't realize you were generously thinking of saving us time by having those at hours most of us wouldn't be able to attend. Thank you!
it is unfortunate that you can't make the same timers as some of us. it is also a shame we cant play on your timers either due to work so I think we just have to accept that it is going to happen and get over it. We chose to do it on a weekend to give you a chance. we cannot make day times in general because of work.

LOL When the Brits night-flipped Les Cayes and Port-au-Prince away from us did you somehow think France was suddenly going to become ambivalent about getting the Brits out of those ports? If the Dutch kicked the Brits out of Haiti then France probably would have helped them. If the Danes ran the Brits out France may even have helped them.
no we flipped it on a weekend...night flipping isnt a thing on global and the aussies are nice enought o do it on thieir time so be grateful not bitchy

There aren't many of them left, they just kinda fizzled out. For a clan that advertises "War is our business model" they sure didn't do a whole lot of it. I don't think more than a handful of them showed up to any contested PB.
Those that remain just want to fleet in peace and jump on the sinking of brit pubs train that most nations are enjoying. Remember they're real fighters...
This is incorrect. AUSEZ refused to basically do anything the brit council discussed in the meetings. They were a large proponent of saying screw the council. Plan an attack for sat night? They'll start doing it on thurs because they want "biff"
you might wonder why that was.......ever noticed who is on the US timeslot in GB and wondered why our numbers don't come to PBs on that timeslot anymore?

sigh, responding to you when you are constantly being such a troll is a bit sad but,
Players don't log in when they are not having fun and they stopped having fun when people like you spent all your time abusing others and lashing out at everyone.
up to you how you view it but it was SCAR and DICS that initiated the flips.
An alliance trumps a NAP.
