What do you want us to do? We have already stopped, you are retaking your ports....should I bring you women and alcohol also? Damn, we stop everything, let you have everything back without asking for anything and you are still yelling at us...

you're late!!

Action of 14 December 1798by Louis- Philippe Crépin 32-gun British frigate HMS Ambuscade vs French 24-gun corvette Bayonnaise

You can perfectly come back now. There is no issue to resolve, Spain and France have stopped their operations in the south. That's the only meaningfully fact in this thread. We demand nothing, we ask nothing. No need to write 7 pages about it. No need to exchange insults.

Some did yes, some did not. Having a council is a good thing but it also means lots of inner talks and sometime inertia. Dictatorship is a lot simpler. In the end this decision is here, it should have been made a few weeks ago, I agree but better late than neverEdit:On a more personal note, I like the game, I dislike the current mechanics. Hoping the patch comes soon.

Totally agree on that. I personnally would have liked this to happen sooner.

I wanna see a Pellasgos vs Lord Vicious war alone one on one

The French council considering the current situation has decided to stop hostilities in the south. As such the French Council will not contest any ports west of La Blanquilla/ Macanao/ Cumana. All other ports will remain under French control until further negotiations. French evacuation of the contested ports will be effective on Monday. The Dutch fought bravely and proved themselves worthy and stubborn adversaries. o7

I'll try get in touch with you tonight

Well we pretty much stopped defending our ports. We are having much more fun screening and fighting in open sea with our allies than defending 5 flags launched by 10 guys every nights.We did it, you did it Its just not interesting anymore. You want to have fun? pick a port, attack it and win the pb or attack 5 and face empty ports. With the wipe incoming, now is the time to have fun.

o7...good luck

I personnally think the Swedes and Pirates have better things to do other than fighting each other. Unless another French flag is used or a core Swedish port is attacked we will not intervene.

Just a quick idea I had: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_fl%C3%BBte I think it would be interesting to link the size of the cargo hold for warships with the number of decks occupied by cannons. A ship armed "en guerre" would have a very small cargo hold that could be increased by removing cannons.

Not a painting but still awesme!

First recognition of the Stars and Stripes by a foreign government, at Quiberon Bay, France, on February 14, 1778

The OP is Dutch...

At least Lord Vicious and Pellasgos took the time to write something in their threads... CYRANO: Ah no! young blade! That was a trifle short! You might have said at least a hundred things By varying the tone. . .like this, suppose,. . . Aggressive: 'Sir, if I had such a nose I'd amputate it!' Friendly: 'When you sup It must annoy you, dipping in your cup; You need a drinking-bowl of special shape!' Descriptive: ''Tis a rock!. . .a peak!. . .a cape! -- A cape, forsooth! 'Tis a peninsular!' Curious: 'How serves that oblong capsular? For scissor-sheath? Or pot to hold your ink?' Gracious: 'You love the little birds, I think? I see you've managed with a fond research To find their tiny claws a roomy perch!' Truculent: 'When you smoke your pipe. . .suppose That the tobacco-smoke spouts from your nose-- Do not the neighbors, as the fumes rise higher, Cry terror-struck: "The chimney is afire"?' Considerate: 'Take care,. . .your head bowed low By such a weight. . .lest head o'er heels you go!' Tender: 'Pray get a small umbrella made, Lest its bright color in the sun should fade!' Pedantic: 'That beast Aristophanes Names Hippocamelelephantoles Must have possessed just such a solid lump Of flesh and bone, beneath his forehead's bump!' Cavalier: 'The last fashion, friend, that hook? To hang your hat on? 'Tis a useful crook!' Emphatic: 'No wind, O majestic nose, Can give THEE cold!--save when the mistral blows!' Dramatic: 'When it bleeds, what a Red Sea!' Admiring: 'Sign for a perfumery!' Lyric: 'Is this a conch?. . .a Triton you?' Simple: 'When is the monument on view?' Rustic: 'That thing a nose? Marry-come-up! 'Tis a dwarf pumpkin, or a prize turnip!' Military: 'Point against cavalry!' Practical: 'Put it in a lottery! Assuredly 'twould be the biggest prize!' Or. . .parodying Pyramus' sighs. . . 'Behold the nose that mars the harmony Of its master's phiz! blushing its treachery!' --Such, my dear sir, is what you might have said, Had you of wit or letters the least jot: But, O most lamentable man!--of wit You never had an atom, and of letters You have three letters only!--they spell Ass! And--had you had the necessary wit, To serve me all the pleasantries I quote Before this noble audience. . .e'en so, You would not have been let to utter one-- Nay, not the half or quarter of such jest! I take them from myself all in good part, But not from any other man that breathes! Cyrano de Bergerac Act I, Scene iv Edmond Rostand

I shot at Vernon Merill once...but he was far so maybe it was someone else...
