Dick Brave

Well I believe France, Spain and Denmark taking 11 (eleven) empty ports last night and this morning can be considered as a clear statement.

Mijnheer Tenaka Kan, I already agreed to your suggestion and considered it as a good idea, but during the past three days I've got the gut feeling, that you are quite alone with that idea within the French nation. At the time this screenshot was made yesterday evening France already captured the empty ports of Galdonas and Naparima. This and my Open World encounters with French captains during the past three days make me believe that the French are not interested in challenging battles but in taking empty ports. Pulling 4-5 Flags at one time has just one reason: Trying to take ports without a battle. Mijnheer Tenaka Kan, you're right, you did it, we did it, it's boring. Although I hope the upcoming Patch and Port-Wipe will change this, I would welcome the chance to have a talk with you about this.

I agree on that, esp. the OW battles since this gives a lot of new players that are not suited for PB so far the chance of having some fun as well.

... but someone has to stand tall and do the job

??? Pablo Frias likes this ???

Because of missing QA.

Herewith the the united clans of the Dutch Nation are announcing that De Republiek der Vereenigde Provinciën is represented by the honourable Dutch Nation High Council of the Dutch clans AIE, ARSE, ASEET, CMD, DAS, DKF, Gh0st, LIONS, PFK, PPP, PVP, RL, 7UP, WIC, WOLF, XIX Chairman of the Dutch Nation High Council Oliviervdp [XIX] Spokesman of the Dutch Nation High Council Dick Brave [WOLF] and the Ambassadors of the honourable Dutch Nation Diplomatic Corps Amplify [PPP], Dick Brave [WOLF]), Niels Visser [7UP] (interim) (interim) (interim)

Because of this WOLF has three clan leaders which don't tell the line members what to think but give them access to all the information so they can build their own opinion. And I believe there are several Dutch clans as well as other nation clans that work the same. At least I hope so - I hope that the way you described it actually is the rare exception.

Mate, for sure we'd sail and even fight together I believe - and seriously, you didn't get my humor? Than you must really be that boring serious guy

Ah, never mind - but anyway, the Dutch Nation is doing a tremendous job.

Oh, I'm sure we do. It's called a tactical retreat I believe Thanks a lot, and I totally agree.

I totally agree, hiding behind a false flagg fits perfectly.

A rotten apple spoils the whole basket.

Vazco, you'd better not post that statement. Those who sail with you know that you are a boring serious guy and totally lack any kind of humor. All the others could get the impression that this post is ironic and therefore suspect some kind of a hidden complaint.

Dear British and U.S. Gentlemen, please see this post as what it is: The personal statement of only one player. It does not reflect the opinion and feelings of the member of the Dutch Nation High Council in any way. Furthermore I have to clarify that Capt. Pellasgos is not an official representative of the Dutch Nation High Council, even if it might look like. So far the official part of my answer to that post. I would like to add a personal statement: Beside the fact that this whole post is obsolete, I consider it as a bad style to refer to our allies and other Dutch clans in such a disrespectful manner. I would like to repeat what I already wrote in another thread: The Dutch Nation was under a heavy attack of four Nations of France, Denmark-Norway, Spain and our former allie Sweden, not to forget the black breed, the Pirates. Despite of our hard resistance we lost a lot of ports while fighting on two, temporarily even three, fronts. But we didn't ever and we won't ever complain - we are playing the game and fighting back! This is, I believe, how the Dutch Nation really feels and the only acceptable answer to this crude post and the continuing attacks of our enemies. My final, personal recommendation to Capt. Pellasgos: You, Sir, are splitting our glorious Nation by your repeating rude attacks against other players. Furthermore posts like this shape a bad image of the Dutch Nation for our allies, our enemies and new players that might consider joining our nation. You risk the reputation and the future of our Nation. You better should think twice before posting!

Too much peace treaties are killng fun and finally the game. The more danger, the more honor!

Regardless if the so called "Three Admirals Treaty" was a good idea or not. The Dutch Nation was under a heavy attack of four Nations of France, Denmark-Norway, Spain and our former allie Sweden, not to forget the black breed, the Pirates. Despite of our hard resistance we lost a lot of ports while fighting on two, temporaily even three, fronts. But we didn't ever and we won't ever complain - we are playing the game and fighting back!

Don't be afraid of that.

Probably you may notice, that the OP was made by a Spaniard.

Ahm, just one question: Shouldn't this thread been renamed to "PB Pampatar Danes v Dutch only 1st rate!" ? Well fought Denmark!

I would love to see Pirates doing exactly this. Most Pirates I see are camping in front of a Port denying even a fair and balanced fight or sailing in a Gank-Squad. From those tagged, 9 out of 10 manage to escape by all means ( Speed + Coward perk + etc.) ... Very few are doing what you described above and even less sailing Open Sea accepting any fight (even if they're being ganked). Chapeau to these brave Pirates - Phew to all the others.

Also ich fände das grade ganz OK

Ganz einfach: Die hätten den Franzosen 'nen Blutadler geschnitzt

Du bleibst auf immer mein Lieblingsschwede!

... hmm, ich hab die Schweden mal netter gefunden. Aber das war bevor sie mit den Franzosen und Dänen angebändelt haben
