    You should consider using push-to-talk for the recording, so you don't have this annoying static throughout the entire video. If your recording software doesn't support it directly, try using this application: http://www.pushtotalk.nu/2013/05/ptt-for-windows-7-skype-msn.html

    Ponce was a good bit of brawling.

    Good fight, Spanish (though the boarding meta is getting quite ridiculous, tbh)

    An important thing to add to the Danes 'breaking the truce': They attacked 3 ports of the US nation simultaniously, when the alliance with the Brits was down. Two of the port battles were set at ~18:00 server time, which is obviously a terrible time for the US. So they had to rely on British screening to win; if the Danes had gotten into Wilmington, it would have surely been lost (since the Dutch were defending Little Harbor along with the a German clan from the US). The US night flipping was a response to this, since clearly the Danes had no respect for them at that time.

    Well boys, you heard it here first:

    Well, you could also have decided to not split up your fleet. If you know you'll lose 19v25, maybe don't send around 16 first rates to the other port. The Danes tried holding onto both ports, and lost both because of it. Now let's be clear: I disagree as much as you with the current point system. There is no reason why a circle should be considered capped because you have 2 basic cutters sailing around an enemy L'Ocean.

    Then don't start bitching at us. Instead, poke the devs to put the cooldowns back to normal. Also, please do remind me where you got that 10-15 number from.

    If you think that's ever going to change with the current server populations, you're exceptionally naive.
  11. Impie
    Well, sorry to disappoint here Bearwall, but the devs have said that the servers are global. The location is just that: a server location.

    So first you preach to us how you only want late PB's in the weekend, and when we do that - you don't show up anyway. So tell me, what are we supposed to do now? Ban the US players from the game?
  13. Impie
    That's been a bigger issue in the Dutch nation than most would believe. We have German and Polish only clans, of which most members do not understand or speak English well enough to communicate effectively in PB's. We've always had to have it all translated in real time. Please don't think the French/Spanish are alone in that.

    If your allies don't want to set up outposts to attack or defend ports, then clearly our numbers aren't the issue. Besides, two nations cannot be farther apart than the Dutch and the US, and we still show up en masse to help each other...
  15. Impie
    It's not our fault your allies don't show up to screen for you... I would go as far as to say your alliance has more dedicated port battle players than the Dutch/British/US alliance put together. You just don't seem to help each other very well; for example, I can't remember the last time I saw a relevant amount of Spanish players screening for any of the southern or eastern PB's. Having timers would be even more annoying for the Dane alliance btw. The Brits would just capture ports in EU time and set them to US defence timers.

    Islamorada 23rd of January:

    There's a difference between losing because of game mechanics (time limit, point limit), and losing because you lose your ships. The battle was heavily swaying in the favor of the Dutch near the end.

    Brilliant battle at Pampatar; too bad our points ran out, otherwise it could've had a whole different outcome.

    Wonderful scenic view of all the Caracas PB action:

    Well, here's the Dutch/American PoV:

    With the port battle mechanics being switched around so massively, I though I might as well make all the old videos I had public (most of which were for internal review only): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSc_wc8RVGqKPKCGioMoCEi8XhoY2mIvM

    @admin There is a bug in the game that has the potential of breaking the entire economy when the wrong people find out about it. For obvious reasons I won't post the details here; the devs can check the two in-game bug reports I made through my character 'Impie de Ruijter'.

    A lack of knowledge on manual sailing and a shaky British chain of command in this week's battle for Les Cayes:
