Ports simply cannot be owned solely by clans because single clans on their own seldom actually defend the port on their own and require other clans to help. That gives those clans an interest in the fate of the port which is symbolised by the flag put on top.
Would a three man clan be capable of defending Bluefields? No, they'd have expected and rightly so, the other clans, the nation, to help.
Clans hold ports in trust of the nation, they do not own them. They govern them, they do not own them.

ports of spanish clans that were not ok with the trade? Then its their problem to not do something against it
Which rules are broken? A clan, alts or not, removed ofher clans from friendlist so they cant defend. Get a confirmation of this being a rulebreak and we can go to prefriendlist state and have alts in pbs again
Admitting to being an alt on a nation chat is a bannable offence if you look at the links Grundge provided.

It was a port of rival and not a GB port. You wanted to give the port to the US (without the agreement of the owning clan)
deal with it
Last time I checked it has a GB flag on it and said "Great Britain" next to it.
This all boils down to whether clans own ports or whether they hold them in trust for the nation. I prefer the latter as I don't want to go down the route of dispensing with nations.

We did it because you forced us to change the nationality of the port so we can defend it.
Its a situation created by you (who said its ok if the port stays british and then US arrived the next day)
I didn't force it. I did it because I said that I knew that you'd flip it Dutch, and you did. Sooooo I was entirely justified in making the deal with the Americans.

Yes it s a matter of this RVR mechanic.... Towns are attached to Clan...not to nation. St Louis is may be a target for some "french"....or may be not. But as we said to Northviking...If "others" french have an outpost near "french" Town who is Under attack and if we have some players and if it s in Windows Timer of "real french" we probably defend all towns.
We haven t all the same target. KoC want kill Christendom...Christendom want kill KoC...Louis XVI want sink all ...all want sink Louis XVI... For me, actual mechanic are not efficiency. Really we are in Naval "schlaffen" ...not in Naval "Action" 😛
We will defend St Louis if we can and all others town we can defend...just for one reason...WE LUV PVP MARK ^^
You've been wanting kick the crap out of the Dutch, now is your chance!

Sorry did it to farm easy conquest marks which you only got with pbs and kills inside them.
You did it for easy Victory Marks....

By Pellew's own admission the Dutch couldn't have taken it from GB without everyone being removed from their friends list. Has HAVOC ever won a contested port battle out of interest? AI don't count fyi.

Then be happy now that you can attack the dutch port and take it back and dont have to do it with a deal via another nation.
You cant defend a port with 3 people and you know it
As I said before, I have no intention of rewarding bad behaviour. That's why when I see HAVOC, I sail away.

How was the situation when hidden island went russian?
And why exactly should GB do something with a port that a clan of alts did the most hostility to to flip the port?
Except it wasn't just those three players that flipped it, STSS did as well and had their been a contested port battle, it would have been GB players defending them, not a 3 man clan holding off 25 ships.

You guys wanted to give the port to the US so they can give it to you. There was no chance for rival to defend vs the US. You betrayed that GB clan (consisting of alts from players that ard now dutch yes)
They could defend it as by your own admittance, they have alts.
They were Dutch, we can hardly betray them lol. If anyone betrayed anyone they betrayed us first by coming to KPR and killing GB players.

Just to add a bit of info in about RUBL doing it. They did as far as i'm aware arrange trade between Prussia and themselves before they moved over on one port.
And the other port they attacked expecting us to defend it and we didn't on purpose because we didn't have the BR to do it. So the situation was a bit different.They didn't prevent you from defending though? I mean you were all still capable of defending the ports in both instances as you were on their friends list?

Those screenshots are the ones where they're confessing to who they are. They've caused arguments on there as well. As Grundge says though, it's irrelevant what they're saying because they shouldn't be speaking at all.
-
The only reason it has taken so long is because several GB guys approached the devs in private first rather than writing out anything in a rush. We have no intention of giving you content when you denied it to us.
Aye, if clans own the ports then there should be a mechanic to hand them over, if they're only held in trust, then Bluefields should be returned to GB (in my opinion).

once the port becomes known ..they pretty much become like any other port ... maybe ports appear only these litle islands just for a couple of weeks then dissapear .. and another unknown port appears elsewhere on the map
There are still people with hundreds of hours in the game that don't know the location of the secret island. Hell the only reason I picked up on it was because it was discussed on Nation chat when I first started the game. I've never seen it come up since.

Personally I'd remove OW tags and just replace them with flags. Don't even tell people who it is unless you can use the spyglass. A simple clan flag would be quite nice as well.

Yes but the PB was won
Taking a port is one thing; holding it is something else.

Harbor Island after battle. We attacked the British fleet that took the US port and the US defenders joined them in the battle. Was a lot of fun gg.
*sigh*.... *sigh*... *sigh*..

On the other hand what about those people like myself who go out looking for duels etc but end up being chased by anti-gank fleets despite the odds being in favour of the defender. Should we just pack up completely? If you want to just PvE, there is a dedicated server for that. If you do want to PvP down the line then take some advice, stop attacking AI in the greenzone!!!!!!

My spectacular view!
-
I mainly annoyed because right now I'm in a battle where before it would have taken 10-15 minutes but I've been staring at this guy's arse as he tries to run away for 40 minutes.
-
It's getting bloody annoying, use all my chain to stop them running, boom, repair and off they goooooooooooooo.
-
I had the joy of constantly retagging someone for an hour with ball while gaining on them ever so slowly because there's not enough chain on the snow to stop constant repairing. A battle that should have lasted 10 minutes took an hour and ten minutes.

Did the French actually bother trying to defend yesterday out of interest?

Provide proof and let the devs decide, just like we have.
