To be honest I don't think so. Jodgi is the only moderator that is liked by us.
A point against him of course, but proof positive that perfection is not required

how do you even become Moderator?
Semi honest question
Mostly, you start by having a reputation that precedes you for integrity and being a positive force in the community - both forums and in game. And of course you have to ask.

What exactly is the "threat" here?

I've been in the process of buying a house, and finally, things are settling down on that front. We close tomorrow morning! However, the desk I've been using for years is something I got from a garage sale that's just clunky and bolted together to keep it standing. I'd like to actually get myself a nice, proper desk.
Ideally, it would be something that could be shipped to me, but, I actually thought I'd reach out and ask for suggestions as to what other people have and like, while trying to keep the budget below $500. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I think people need to reevaluate what it means to "win" as well. Everyone seems to think you only "win" if you sink the enemy ship. Simply escaping is a win too, but for some reason it's not recognized as such. If battle is open forever for both sides, it shouldn't be. I wouldn't know, since I generally sail alone.

Historically, even during the Revolution when the Continentals had a garbage navy, even they could raid the United Kingdom itself. There is no such thing as "safety" on the ocean.

I actually took an old Endymion into Brit waters last night to test out reworked reinforcement zones. Hit a TBrig, and he got... a Belle Poule, if memory serves. The BP didn't really do anything, but the player was kinda slow on the uptake and kept trying to run instead of hooking up with the Belle Poule.
Eventually, he got other players in the fight, became something like a 10v1, and I kamikaze'd him to take out the TBrig, and was sunk after a while in the process.
My take-away? Reinforcements are only as useful as the player who calls them. If the player does not care to stick by them, they're going to be useless. Other players who come in and who can guide the player will give better guidance in real time, and say something like, "Hey, sail towards us and we can protect you."
I'd say they work as intended. They can scare off a player (or not, if the player doesn't care about the ship), but not guarantee that the invader is sunk for daring to sail into a protection zone.

this will change soon once new VM conditions will be deployed
Do you have a goal time frame for that to happen?

Can I point out the irony of the original post declaring Russia dead, and the poster's handle of "Never Surrender"?

Errr? I'm not following, honestly.

RvR is fighting port battles against each other, as I see it. As far as I'm concerned, anything on the OW is, in fact, OW. But it doesn't concern me anyway. The Free Tribes do as the Braves demand

Am I missing something...? 12 hours ago Russia was a powerhouse faction.

I would love to see a video to see who turned first
I know for certain what was discussed on our side. I would be very curious as to whether there was a video somewhere to back it up, showing that we turned to leave before you turned to chase.

Every fight has two sides. Instead of turning to fight, you kited for about 10km, and half an hour. Finally, we said, "Well, if they're not going to fight, let us head home." So we did, and you turned around to chase. We didn't want to deal with indefinite kiting/mast sniping.

I mean, I made it pretty and everything.

Ya know @Iroquois Confederacy if you're going to maintain your own clan and own set of diplomatic rules, why don't you just go pirate? Rather than create incidents in game that your chosen nation now has to pay for. Would seem like the responsible move no?

1 hour ago, Gregory Rainsborough said:Iroquois is one of the main reasons for this move (at least on my part) as he kept shitting on the agreement made between GB and Poland.
You said in our battle the other day you didn't care if Poland lost all their ports as you were based out of free towns, what changed?
5 minutes ago, Batman said:Maybe Polish players should simply have sticked to the agreement that was set up between GB and PL. Yeah, you don't care about politics.
But constantly receiving complaints from players that there traders get attacked by PL players we had to react. I talked to Polish diplos and it seems Polish players have a different oppinion about how "Not attacking traders" actually works from British Captains.
As evidence that "It's not about the Free Tribes, we just want the port." Notice how studiously they avoid my offer to simply depart the faction, removing the burr between England and the Commonwealth. They just want to take the port.

As for any personal involvement: I only sail for Poland as they are the smallest faction in the game, giving me the most OW PvP opportunities. I could just as easily change factions to any other and not care one whit. If your major causus belli is one privateering type doing the privateering thing... there are issues at a fundamental level.

I have no issue operating out of free ports. This was merely an announcement so that the server was aware. Do not mistake the messenger for the message.

There is a sharp difference between de facto and de jure. It would behoove the Captains of England to learn it.

England Declares War on Poland!
A pot long since expected to boil over, England has de facto declared war upon the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania. Tensions had long been high after two Captains abandoned the Commonwealth in favor of Prussia, abandoning the major port of Saint-Louis in the process. The English, wasting no time to grab a toe-hold in Haiti, and seeing the opportunity to steal this port before it could be resecured, launched a fleet to occupy Saint-Louis about one month ago.
Ever since, a tense armed neutrality has existed, with the only agreement that the innocent traders of both sides be allowed to pass. The Free Tribes, announcing that they were not a part of such an agreement, and would not be beholden to it, preyed upon many a trader as they passed by, departing from that very same Saint-Louis that the English so rapidly occupied.
Now, though the English have been well aware of the Free Tribe's intentions, and though their merchants have done nothing to secure themselves from the predations of a lone frigate, the English have seized upon this incident as a fig leaf for seizing more control over Haiti, and ejecting the Commonwealth from its de facto Capital.
Though the Commonwealth intends to fight, the outlook is grim as the English have long been able to build up their shipping reserves around Jamaica Island, where they have mastered the ability of cloaking First Rate ships of the line to appear into existence upon the very heads of anyone who would dare disturb them. While the English also have a defensive advantage, preventing any from attacking their shipbuilding operations, they also have an advantage of fifteen times the manpower of the Commonwealth, with an advantage of 1,500 Captains of various-sized vessels to the Commonwealth's 100. Indeed, many believe that this war that started without so much as a declaration (as civilized nations do) exists purely to bolster the morale of England, as they have largely been unsuccessful in their wars with France and Russia, rapidly losing territory in Central America.
England has placed itself outside the norms and expectations of the Family of Nations. The question remains, however, how well the Commonwealth is able to protect itself against their wretched ways.
