    And stop blaming it on Pirates, if we had all rolled Spain since wipe we would have all yellow dots in place of the Black ones right now.  Hell we keep joking about next big patch just doing that to prove a point. Pick a dead nation and roll an alt into them and show folks this isn't a Pirate problem since they are just another nation with FFA option only.  

    This is a problem with nation organization and team work.  Until certain nations figure that out they will never get a head no matter what their numbers are in game.

    Huh, no you wouldn't,

    How many times have the pirates been caught using exploit's regarding the Pirate mechanic of attacking each other to hide in combat?

    Good luck with that, if you had rolled Spanish, you would have at least been required to bring an alt nation account to abuse the system, and hide in battle screens...

    I have no plans to vote on any other US ports being taken.  We don't want them.  WE actually want them to move to the gulf and take some ports on there own and than maybe we will give something back.  Maybe, but until they prove they aren't a bunch of British Loyalist they aren't getting anything back.

    Wow Texas, the US can not recruit or hold new players by you advocating that they move into the gulf, Savannah belonging to the US, on the other hand would dramatically help with new player retention,

    I encourage any remaining US / GB players to re-roll pirate or pick up an alt account (like a lot of us have already done) and play as pirate, since the creation of a Safe PVE friendly area is all the Pirates really seem to care about...

    Use in game report and ignore functions.

    Just because I can ignore this person does not stop every other member of the US Nation from witnessing there Bile, and unlike the Pirates that have an ability to sink on offensive individual, the US nation does not, so we are stuck with a Pirate alt sitting out front of our capital, spewing Bile on our Nation chat, while reporting US player positions to the pirates,

    Don't really see how my ignoring of this player solves anything...

    If rules were followed by the Tribunal, then yes I would agree. This is however not the case as I have proven with my recent Tribunals and when I prosecuted Naval Action in an EU Justice Department case.

    In effect this has made the Tribunal part of the end-game of Naval Action. (Which may or may not be a bad thing. :D Personally I consider it a bad thing, because I don't expect a lot of folks to have the skills for it. :P)

    And thus it turns back to:

    And believe it or not, but admin is fully aware of the problem:

    So it boils down to agreeing, or conceding, what constitutes fair grounds.

    The game can do nothing in this regard. And I would go as far as saying, having the game force people into PvP has only produced adverse results.

    If you see an advantage for your side, then bring up the counter yourself. If you see no counter, then it is broken. (And sometimes you have to experience the counter to see whether it is even viable.)

    Choice, enticements and trade-offs are the way to go, not enforcement.

    PS. There is a matter to settle though. ^_^

     

    Since you and I both agree that the developers seem to be allowing the Black clan to use exploits at every opportunity, maybe the developers have simply chosen to let this game die off, and do not expect it to succeed, since if the developers felt otherwise they would dole out appropriate punishments, for exploits and Alts etc...

    Yesterday the US nation had a new Pirate alt of "Stuck in Irons Badger" trolling the US nation chat on his new alt "Sir Salt" for hours, making US nation chat completely pointless, as he parked his basic cutter out front of Charleston and reported US player positions to the Pirate's as he trolled US Nation chat...

    Unless the developers can figure out a way to keep one persons Alt from disrupting an entire nations chat, this game will become completely untenable!

    I hear where you're coming from, but the thing is, you're relying on an interpretation of exploit as "BLACK wasn't punished, and you can't tie BLACK to the exploit."  It's like robbing a bank.  Maybe someone else cracked the safe, but it was BLACK that made off with the money.

    It's a very hard sell to me to pretend like BLACK is innocent in that case, when a team that is notoriously light on punishment banned someone involved for two weeks.

    I get that BLACK wants to feel innocent on this, but... you can't make the truth what you want it to be either.  

    I moved past it, however.  BLACK and the rest of the community cannot, it seems, because BLACK won't say, simply, "It was a mistake we regret and we are not like those people."  If the best you can offer is, "Technically, BLACK wasn't punished," well, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to silence your critics for you.

     All those 1st rates we saw ya'll pull out of Bermuda and other ships showed us ya'll have plenty of players and ships.   You just don't want to use them. 

    I know of three active US players with 1st rates,

    and none others, where are all of these supposed 1st rate ships that you claim to have seen?

    Hahaha, PvP is now abusing a nation, what a shame! These guys ill never learn, never figth. You better leave to PvE server, you have nothing to do here.

    Actually, if you you have been following along you would see we have plenty to do here, like join the Pirates,

    that does seem to be their desired out come to this,

    Abuse a Nation ??? is that what you call it ?  Its called PvP and lord help the Pirates who endured the ABUSE by US last year...but no wait we didn't run to the other side we stuck it out and stomped a mud hole in the US backside .

    Delusion much?

    Vast majority of the US player base has gone Pirate or over to GB, so good job on beating up an inferior force and thinking you accomplished something grand,

    No pressure at all. We just want other nations in need to grab some ports and rebuild so we have more competitive nations. Maybe even swedes if they can come with the numbers. After that it can go all over the show again for all we care

    Koltes, you continue to speak out of both sides of your mouth, And I believe your actions in game this evening will Invalidate this entire statement of yours,

    I am not sure what mind game you think you are playing with saying one thing on the forums, but doing the opposite in game.

    Hell @Duncan McFail even recruited a new member for NPG last night off global chat.  We are helping ya'll recruit for your own nation.   The poor guy wanted to join a clan and asked and we sent him your direction. Though not sure why he asked in global instead of your nation chat.   

    Based on the terrible behavior of individuals like HoneyBadger who linked NPG's crafting Google Doc to the web in retaliation before he went Pirate, I have little faith that you are not simply planting a New Alt into NPG...

    But this post has nothing to do about battle mechanics used by either side. It's about lost of ports and offering terms to not total crush a nation and it's player base.

    This is complete and utter BS,

    if the Pirates cared about the health of the US nation, they would leave Savannah, so that the US nation could retain some new players, and hopefully raise them into veteran players that would potentially put up a decent defense,

    But instead the Pirates prefer to Club Baby Seals, and Thus inadvertently recruit these new US players into the Pirate nation,

    You'll get back Savannah when you can take it. This is good for your nation. It'll make you tougher like spinach. 

    Currently because the pirates hold Savannah, and raid Charleston on a nightly basis, new player retention has fell to near Zero, so all of your grand gestures of offering ports on the west coast of Florida are Mute, in that new players can are not even given an option to learn the game well enough to be willing to invest in joining a clan or choosing to learn how to bolster the US defense,

      Most new players opt to not join a clan until they get their feet wet, and understand the game a little, but repeatedly getting sunk by Pirates, is simply seen as a recruiting tool for Pirates, since most of the US nations newest players after getting sunk several times, simply decide to join the nation that is sinking them, so as to avoid that pain in the future,

    Just to let you know Kanay if you come pirate(and this goes for everyone else that gets the bright idea to go pirate for victory marks) we will kill you every time we see you. Same goes for anyone else that swaps without our approval. God it's good to be a pirate 😎

    This threat holds no weight other than to run off any new US player that is sick of getting sunk out front of Charleston before they have even had a chance to learn the game, and new players will not scour the forums to learn of your threat before they go Pirate, your attitude is effective at killing new player retention, congrats!

     

    US has very few Veteran players relative to the other nations at this point, and currently find recruiting new veteran players beyond difficult, Since you find it amusing to continue clubbing baby Seals,

     Once again, Congrats on ruining your own fun by creating a diminished server population through your own actions,

    Apparently many people have been disconnected from PVP Global and can't log back in? I'm gonna be losing a victory to an NPC fleet, what gives? Why can't I log back in?

    Advice/help welcome.

      I am West Coast US, play on PvP Global as well, and I can get to the shards list, and pick Global, but after saying I am 1 in que, it reports back in Bright Red letters "Authentication Error: Steam authentication server error" and I am stuck and unable to log in to game

    Is anyone else having trouble getting into the game right now?  I keep getting Steam authentication errors.  NA is starting ok, it's a Steam problem.  I've restarted Steam a few times and it partially works (yes I am able to log in ok).  Anyone else experiencing Steam issues?  I'm on east coast USA if it makes any difference.

    Yes, I am West Coast US, play on PvP Global, I can get to the shards list, and pick Global, but after saying I am 1 in que, it reports back in Bright Red letters "Authentication Error: Steam authentication server error" and I am stuck and unable to log in to game

    Here I find myself in a bewilderment.

    Outlaw battle is always open and free for all ( make your own friends and enemies inside the battle).

    Why didn't you enter it and sink the enemy fleet ?

    If you play this game then you would know that a team that uses this tactic could never be chased down within the exploited Green on Green combat, since they would have far too much of a head start, and thus are using it to hide in combat, no way to catch them and engage them in combat, even with the fastest ships you would never catch them

    You sound like someone that kicks puppies and brags about it...

  18. @Sir Texas Sir ,  the Raising of Hostilities in the Bahama's was done by a rouge clan in the US, not by the US Nation, those that raised that hostility will not even show up for congress meetings, So they are indefacto playing against the US nation, and playing Pro Pirate, 

    A False Flag operation will you, to draw the pirates in, and you guys took the bait hook, line, and sinker, without thinking twice about it...

    @koltes The Quote about "rats fleeing a sinking ship", was not directed at the pirates, but at the US Nation, not only did it lose TF and VCO, but on Saturday IGG went Pirate from what we can tell,

    At this point the pirates are kicking a Puppy and acting like they are Super Tough Guys, real hard core PVP'ers and all, when in fact they are nothing more than opportunistic, and picked a faction that was behind everyone else BR wise.

    Simply because a rouge clan went and raised hostility to 32% in Shallow water, there is no way this rouge clan will clean up their act, our only hope is that they go Pirate...

    So much misinformation is being spoken in these threads,

    Is it the Pirates goal that US players simply use Papers to switch to a larger Nation? (IE. Pirate or GB?)
