Suicidal Tendencies

I noticed they came back to finish it off late late, guess they didn't want to do a rematch right after that fight? It was a good one and I'll be on for the PB. Might have to adjust the Prince a bit to actually be board fit since I wasn't in this fight.

Was there also as I got to watch it fly over my head. They where boxing Rubi in for a board when the collusion bug happened. Rubi ship is upside down in front of me in this screen

I been noticing that the ships like to suddenly stop up wind of you and sink. I mean like before you would never sink when I need you to now you just sink and with leeway it's a pain to go back to get them.

Shows you just how much the guys in DUTCH on global actually did port battles. Wonder how many other ships they won't have ready lol Baxo Nuevo was my first Port battle since the merge and I felt like I was right back on Global again. In fact the only guy that tried to fight was from GLOBAL sever. If this is how you GB plan to beat the Prussian and Polish than I don't think they have much to worry about. I'm just glad I did my part while the rest of the Russian fleet was sinking your fleet in your home waters. Maybe I should say it's now MOTHER RUSSIA'S home waters? Again I want to thank Luck L for sticking it out and having fun with us. You gave me a little fight and my first merge PvP kill. Hell got three last night just running around helping in that Prince. I honestly got to get some bigger ships over in the area now. Oh and when they escaped I don't think even half of us had made it into the battle yet. The AHOY guys never left A circle or even tried to fight. With every one showing up late they might of been able to sink a few of us and held off the port long enough to maybe win or get back up.

Thanks for posting. Like I said if there is no foul play than glad we help you get off to your wife and we all know taking care of wife AGRO is more important than a game. That is why it's up to the Devs to review things like this and see if there is any foul play. Just the way it went down seemed a little fishy. Once again if there was no foul play sorry for bringing it up, but if there was than that is in the Devs hands. Which is why we don't need folks other than those involved posting on these things. They can look at the log and decide if every thing was in order or not.

Me and William saw a Pirate hit a Spanish player right out side Tumbado and we thought we jump in to help since Russian and Spain are kind on good terms. When we enter the battle Mike Hawk was next to El Predator. As soon as we pop in they put sails up and start going opposite directions. The Spanish player escapes as soon as he can. The Pirate though tries to run and we run him down. It's kinda fishy they where both side by side on a tag when the battle starts and one escapes without helping us with the numbers on his side. Can the Devs check both these players logs to make sure they aren't abusing the system. If they are than do what is needed if they aren't than would like to say sorry for accusation but it was very fishy in nature how ya'll acted when we both joined. Most folks don't run and escape when you get help. Wanted to add not one word was said in the battle by either party. This was also about 25 mins before survery down time which would hide the attack in combatnews. We almost had him sunk/capture but the servers went down. Which was good as I lost my Prince and got it back cause of it. Again please check the records of both these chars and if there is no foul play once again sorry for the accusation, but if there is please punish them properly. @William Death is a witness of the fight.

How did I ram you when I'm only going 3.3 knts with 1/4 of a mast? You have full sails up in that picture and not set to cut through irons. You had clearly a lot of room to do what you want with me moving at a snail crawl of 3.3 knts max. Second if you look at the fact you said I tried to block you Board. How do I block some one when I'm totally demasted and going zero knots? You demasted me and sat there while Aster moved up and than boarded me. Than per the last picture you could of easily pulled him when he got out of the board so I'm calling you on that too. Man you can try to spin it how every you want but i have facts with logs and pictures. You have only your words. Also if you mention the Bellona and Trinc, they left at the very start of the battle. This battle had started over 45 mins before the end of server down time. When I was boarded it was 10 mins before. That is 15 mins of doing things since they left the battle. Devs will be able to check the battle logs of when they left and what happened. I'm not going to add more to this as I presented the facts and proof with logs and pictures. I'll leave it for the devs to review.

The tagging isn't the problem it's there actions while in the fight. We where still able to get two of them and prob would of had Aster too if we had more time. He was out of sail repairs when the clock ran out. If we didn't have to dodge a green boat in the way he prob would of been ran down too. @Teutonic I have a problem with your past as you keep throwing around the Ban word. I never once said anything about a Ban or punishment, that is up to the Devs to decided. If it's there first offence I believe the rules state a warning only, if it's not well again that is up to the Devs. I'm also asking and the reason I posted the other thread that is under review a call on the Devs about this type of behavior like they have done in the past about other things. Stealing loot in a battle is gray area that you can do green on green if you warn them not to do it first is an example of a ruling they made cause of tribunal in the past. Seems it's time to make a calling about folks that self tag to get out of a tag by others and than how they should act in such battles if they are on the other side of the team. For example a simple ruling would be if they do not leave the fight or stay out of it than they can be subject to green on green, but this is a very shady area here that can be abused, so would prefer more making it a reportable offence just like green on green damage is.

I was involved in two fights where he lost a ship. Though by CombatNews and every thing going on last night just as many was taken from folks too. It seemed to be a good PvP night for all. Some folks lost ships others didn't. Though a few other issues it was a fun but very late night. I have to say I had a blast chasing him and his buddies in my little Prince. While not as much as I would of liked, it was also nice getting xp for damage. All those sail shots and I didn't getting get assist on either ships, but i did enough damage to get some xp. Still think it needs to be boosted for things like that. Until next time. Now I need to get a new prince made.....

The problem isn't the Tagging each other as I stated several times. It's the blocking and doing things to prevent you from fighting the other team than the one you joined. We sunk two ships in the fist fight (King of Krowns and Amiral Lou). The problem is when they use there fact they are green to block you and cause Green on Green when they should be leaving the fight or fighting on your side. If you part of green team you should be fighting or exit the fight if you have no plan to be involved. They weren't leaving instead they where using there ships to help there buddies get away. While in Pirates vs Pirates your allowed to shoot any one so it doesn't matter if we try to block or help each other out. They can still shoot us or join the fight any way. If that had been an outlaw battle we would of Sunk F4ppinFr3nzy and been done with it. The other thing is in both fights the guys tagged had Smuggler flags on, so it made them listed as Pirate Smuggler. So we didn't get to choice what side we could join. We could only join the pirate smuggler side. As for punishments that is up to the Devs to pick I'm presenting a case of abuse of a game mechanics and the green on green for the first part as he blocked me and than demasted me simply to stop me from escaping while I was on his team. @Teutonic also can you please follow the rules of a Tribunal. If you are not involved you shouldn't be posting. Thanks. You can only reply to tribunal threads if you are: -The reported -The reporter -Someone with additional proof and/or information. In those other causes they could of joined the Pirate vs Pirate fights and fought who ever they wanted. Again this isn't about the tagging each other, this is about the blocking and green on green in the fights caused by such blocking and the actual green on green in the fight. I have no issue with the fact that they tagged each other. It's the other actions they did while in the fights that need to be reviewed by the Devs.

Was in a fight last night before server down time where Aster (US player) Tagged Thamure to prevent tag from one of our guys as we had just been in a battle with him for an hour and half and had burned up all his sail repairs. While we didn't have a problem with the tag as we where able to join the fight. I was able to get him from 82% sails down to 59% before folks started to leave cause of damage and the fact the Bellona wasn't helping us (the one that left early had to go and couldn't stay). Again this isn't a problem. The problem came when I did a sail repair and tried to escape since I had the area control the British Player [CKA] Thamure blocked me. Than he fired a broad side at Aster and completely demasted me. Map showing distance from us and Aster in battle when he blocked me. He than moved away and stopped. Than did nothing as Aster moved to me and boarded and captured my ship. Logs will show he fired several times at Aster but was random and did no real damage. They where purely working together and while i might not have escaped any way, him blocking and demasting me made sure there was no chance at all I could escape. In the fight before hand the same group of players we where chasing involved (though did not get into the above fight as they ran in different direction chasing others that weren't sunk in the first fight). [BORK] Amiral Lou tagged F4ppinFr3nzy which was in there group to avoid a counter gank fleet that was hunting them. F4ppinFr3nzy moved between our fire line to block shots several times taking the chain shots in place of others in there original hunting group while never firing upon them. In this picture you can actually see the chain shot aiming for Amiral Lou's ship he moved in front of. The only damage he did in the fight was against Amiral Lou's Bellona when we had some one in boarding with him he started to try to sink it. Again we had no problem with the tag as we where able to join and still fight the other ships. We have a problem with the person on our side trying to stop us from doing such. The players tried there best not to do any green on green but some of it happen cause of the players mention above trying to block shots and prevent us from stopping his buddies. I would like to link another tribunal which is still under review as this is starting to become a habit to avoid fights. Again the problem wasn't the tag as we will deal with that, in this case it's the actions of helping the other side get away or stop the chasers. There might need to be an official post about this type of behavior and ruling by Devs on it.
