i'm so glad not to be you right now !
:lol:lol like anyone wants to be french at anytime

Little proposition here: All those active players who consider themselves misrepresented by the Dutch council you're welcome to join Britain - we'll find you some palce where you can beat somebody up and on teh diplomatic end we can cut out the middle man considering the Dutch who seem to represent you aren't the ones we allied with/fought alongside. *opportunistic recruitment mode always at the ready*
:lol: you are naughty -
MAJOR problem is a longstanding Ally the Americans are left out, so if this peace happens the Spanish can fully focus on them again.
As i have said before if the proper channels were used and the Americans were involved this treaty would have been ratified in seconds without all this mud throwing.
the British have far more to lose by upsetting the USA than the Dutch have ....your home ports are at the other side of the map from the USA ... So your gripe is that some of the Dutch Council who have shown no interest in the war around Cuba didnt get to agree on the treaty ..you say this treaty would be ratified in seconds if they had ...yet you wont now because you feel left out ? to be honest I have no idea or care how the Dutch Council works ..those who I have screened for ..and have helped screen Britain have proved themselves to be skilled and tough captains .. and have my respect ....I feel sorry for them having some of their nation embarrass them because they didn't see a treaty and get to say yes ,,

So you are saying that everybody of the Dutch who aren't fighting with you have no voice and aren't important?
So have you been in the homewaters with all the pirates and spanish...
Should we all hail you as the next Ceasar or a equivalent german term?
we are all waiting for a reason why some on the Dutch council dont think this treaty is a good idea ...other than they were not consulted ..seems they would rather have game players leave the game rather than . accept a proposal that has plenty of merit just because they were not involved ...

It is good to be a Pyrate

For many deep-seated reasons, most of which deal with the DAS breakup. I won't be drawn into a conversation about it here, but trust me this nation has progressed through many stages in the last 2 and a half months. There was a mega clan named DAS. Now there are many clans not named DAS, but DAS exists as a small crew outside the pvp zone. Lookup every Dutch council screamer posting. Just about all roads do lead to the same place. Drama is everywhere sadly, and this is no different.
Even with the current Drama... this is not the case. There is only 1 council.
so other than the fact that its seems not everyone on the Dutch council was involved in proposing this treaty ...what do those Dutch Council members who do not support this treaty actually not like about it ?

You must be wearing sunglasses. The Dutch agree to mediate between Brits and Spanish under the same port craft ban as the others. We do so to support British brothers while gaining some diplomatic rep with Spain. Overall, all parties wish to keep players in game through organized port battles, and unlimited open water pvp. The Dutch support our allies in the north, including the U.S, but the only Dutch crafting against ports on or around Cuba will only happen to support the deal if foreign forces interfere. The Dutch will of course craft against the Haiti warzone destinations in full observance of previous obligations. If you think this has anything to do with the Dutch taking ports to build numbers then you obviously read a different treaty. Please reread the agreement for understanding. Regarding the council, I would say the same damn thing.
my only mention of dutch wanting to gain more ports was trying to understand why not all the Dutch Council approves this treaty ... the only other reason for not approving is that they feel left out which is rather petty dont you agree
-
also as an interested spectator ,,
as a result of reading the treaty and posts on this thread I see it as follows
As a way of keeping players and for the health of the game in general the British are prepared to cease taking Spanish ports and in fact give back 10 + ports to the Spanish .in return the Spanish agree not to attack remaining British Ports something they currently have not the will or ability to do anyway ....also British are prepared to reset port timers on Haiti to benefit the Danes and French to stop them moaning too
The Spanish with a heavy heart will accept these 10+ ports back and a guarantee their ports will not be attacked by Britain ..not forgetting they are allowed to pvp and gank anywhere on the map they wish including anywhere around Jamaica .. yet they feel its not perfect ... how gracious they are
The Dutch who drafted the treaty ...and gain a firm foothold in South Cuba . have no restrictions on taking further ports within the treaty ...don't lose anything .yet some members of their council feel that they cannot support this treaty .. Im wondering if this is because these members feel that they haven't taken enough ports yet or are just feeling left out because they were not part of the treaty .
French and Danes jumping up and down trying to add their own piece ..feel that as an ally of Spain they should have a say ...due to the fact that they gave no assistance to Spain and Britain sees them as insignificant.. no one cares what they think ..
Sweden just dont care and will carry on doing what they like
Pirates trying to disrupt and provoke a failure of treaty because head attention seeker isn't .............getting any attention ..
USA is worried they will get the full force of the mighty Spanish Navy set against them ..when by their own admission the mighty Spanish fleet is sat on a beach eating ice cream
all this angst about a treaty that will exist for a couple of weeks until new patch and diplomacy arrives ..
nothing here to see really

With the current undocking timer unless you get caught right next to the port guys still in the port are hardly going to join the battle, camping of the ports was always a thing even when the timers where 4 hours long so how is this a mechanic that is being abused? Blockades happen, I see a group at a port and i have two choices - Risk it or Go else where.
Note that a simple solution to this is to get people of your nation to go to that free town to assist with trasport of goods, to enforce them to move away or to set up a counter gank using bait... If you are a solo player like me I just suck it up and sail else where. Also as a PvPer if you attack a player or two near spanish ports/freetowns the spanish react and go assist which works fine as it pushes me away form that town.
However for the teleport timers, I have to agree somewhat about having a short timer on them would be better than the current state, 20-60 mins area would be fine in my opinion.
But one thing that really needs to change is this use of contraband basic cutters to teleport ships about. People complain pirates can attack one another to get out of situations in OW but if two nationals have the smuggler perk they can do the same in war ships which should not even be able to use the smuggler perk only traders should be able to use it. ^^
the game is already very time consuming ...having to sail warships around the map for 2-3 hours to get them where you can have a bit of pvp fun would kill the game for pvp .. the smuggler method to tp ships requires a bit of team work ie someone prepared to help you but could still take 5-10 mins then it takes 5-10 mins while you sail in and out of port wait for battle timers etc so its not instant ...why would you want to tp an empty trader the idea is you have cargo in them ?

The thing is very simple. We can win to USA, we can win to Dutch and we can win to Britain. We don´t bother about three enemies, we can even fight various fronts and beat the three at the same time as we have demonstrated during weeks.
The only thing we can not face are 12 flags from three nations and a fourth nation screening in an interval of 3 hours. This is a game and is suppossed to be fun (yes, also for us) and not to be a job. Multinational zerg it is not a coalition of war, it is not a legit strategy. It is a sign of your frustration at not being able to beat us cleanly. For weeks you have attacked Santiago one day each, wear down us, until our people have started to get tired and our ships to be lower quality than yours. This is the key of your success, you are not Nelson.
But you will not win this war until we decide that we have been defeated and that will never happen.
We will not give your share of fun at our expense. We will adapt and find our fun elsewhere.
You can throw your offer in that dark hole of yours where the sun never dawns.
running around the edge of the circle in a pb is not winning even if the br says so at the end of the timer ..all you have demonstrated is you are good at shooting sails and waiting for pb timer to wind down .. the only time ive seen the spanish fleet fight a proper battle they have lost most of their ships once outside Sant Iago and once inside Sant iago

I agree in some part with you, nevertheless :...which paintsheme or models do you prefer ?...because you don´t give a proposal, you don´t say nothing about it. The problem is currently all the ships are brown, yellow or black. Some of them are fit historical in accurate way, however there is a lot of ship that looks like identical yellow patern, even if they were crafted in differents countries or shipyards.
Please say if you prefer the current boring model, or given us a best suggestion, because only with addition of flags,
I think wouldn´t be enough.
Thank you.
I like the current paint schemes in game , having ship hulls painted the same colour for each nation dumbs the game down . .. instead of nations choose a colour you wish to play .. part of the challenge in a big brawl is identifying whether your firing on the enemy or a friend .. a clan flag wouldnt change that too much but would help a little and give clans a little individuality

Yeah - it is my mistake - mine alone... never heard that one before
I play the game from box - as is. And yet you are saying I chosed the wrong game??? Those diplo-guys are die-harders indeed.
You keep saying you play the game from the box.... the thread header is about diplomacy ....yet all your posting about is your bad experience with joining clans ....???

As a french playing living in North america, I personally do not complaining about the port timer. To me, it only illustrate how much of an advantage a nation with an ''all around the world'' playerbase has over one that doesn't.
Maybe this would not be an issue if the australian players would leave Great Britain and join France instead.
that would be ok with me ... but dont you think it would be too great a difference in playing style ...they would have to change all their ships from those capable of fighting to those that are capable of running away
-
France had a full fleet of 1rst rate and more in the Haiti area, ready to play the game as it is meant to be played. Too bad you guys prefered to dick around with the flag mechanic at Fort Antonio instead of playing the game. Almost everyone left at that moment and wait for the patch to correct this. Hopefully, they will return, or maybe not...
But who knows, maybe Brits prefer empty PB's to the real game. At least, it seems to give them bragging rights on the forum.
look at the port timers there is a british port open you can attack 18 hrs out of 24 .. only time there is no port to attack is between 0600 -1000 the french have most port timers set 1800 - 2200 how the french can complain about port timers is beyond me ...unless you live in europe you have no chance of attacking a french port ...this is a global game play it as one ....
-
I only expect a lot of fun fighting hard and honourably to recover those ports when we have enough players to do it..............Of course this is a game man....... don't worry.....
the treaty proposed gives spain a chance to take a breath and recover ... and a chance to build so you can fight hard .. we all want a strong spain to fight against .
-
not too keen on the idea ..most british ships historically were black and tan not red ....however it would be good to see a clan flag added to mast tops so you can identify your clan mates during battle easier

Exactly. At this point, is VP to decide how far he wants to go ........ Spain will not assign ports of Cuba ...... If VP considered to have the northern ports of jamaica is enough, it will stop . But to be clear that the redcoats are not going to stop ........... His arrogance subsides only if the other humiliates ............ And this with the Spanish not going to happen ......... Jejejejeeje
Spain does not have to assign anything we have them already .. so your not giving anything ..just demanding ..your not in a position to make demands

You don't need anyone on your channel to send messages in the chat. The problem is you, its not our diplomat, who is on vacation and wont come, is your tone, your arrogance and your manners.
And yes... I'm might be at your level, but I'm not a diplomat.
I also dont speak for anyone but myself ... but as I see it your not in any kind of position to dictate , tone, manners or whether people are arrogant .. The Spanish nation doesn't seem to have the will , the ships or the population to defend itself anymore , as history tells us its the victor who dictates the terms of peace not the vanquished .. The British and Dutch as far as can see have offered the Spanish reasonable terms that will allow you to rebuild and hopefully become strong enough to have some good PVP and PB in the future ... while most Brits want a prosperous Spain to fight against a lot want spain down to one port ..this is not healthy for the game or any fun .. seems to me Spain should take what they are offered and prosper from it .. as for the 4 vs 1 its sad that you picked to ally with the Danes , French and pirates who seem to have no stomach for a fight once things went against them Spain and its allies were quite happy to boast about their prowess when they were taking British ports every night ..the french and Danes even made a treaty with Sweden and dutch to protect their home waters whilst helping Spain attack the British ..now thats reversed you all whine about how unfair it all is ...i would suggest you get over it take whats offered rebuild your fleets and then maybe we can have some more fun ....thats what gaming is about after all
-
i wonder if they have thought of turning it off and rebooting ...thats usual advice from IT depts
-
wait... 4 accounts ?? lol
thats where hes been last few weeks ..."playing with himself "...
-
I think on surrender a sinking ship should stop sinking as all crew can stop fighting and keep ship afloat .. you can then cap the surrendered ship without opposition the player surrendering keeps his officer as parole used to do but loses crew ... the attacker gains normal victory plus ship and can transfer any remaining crew to his own ship ...

The Three Admirals Treaty PvP1
in National news
Posted
i love your arrogance ... Spain or in your eyes RAE and Celti declared war ....your fighting in a war you didnt choose ...you need a war to clean out ...you wont surrender your not defeated .
well my friend you dont really have a choice in any of the above ,,,
setting that aside you seem to be missing the whole point .... the idea of the treaty if it still exists ..is we want to play the game and have a war ..to do this we must to allow Spain to build and become an effective force again ... so we can beat them again ..
as for the never surrender ..the facts are Spain has given up fighting for plenty of reasons that have already been given ...not contesting port battles or attacking is surrendering ...if you want to dress it up as something else to make yourself feel better that's ok too .... but we know
