Dalriaden Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I heard from an unreliable source I made up, who will be referred to as Anon, that the British and the Pirates are most certainly in cahoots! According to Anon, The British Diplomat and The Pirate Diplomat met under cover of darkness in a poorly-lit cabin in the woods. Hushed conversation was heard, followed by gentle whispers, a chaste kiss, and promises of a future rendezvous. Well I'm blowing the lid off of this whole sordid affair! The people have a right to know! The affair is far more sordid then you can imagine And I think the US forgot to inform the Pirates their advance was halted.

InfiniteAmount Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I assure you sir, my source is as reliable as he is imaginary, and he assures me that there's a conspiracy afoot! I would be very careful about bringing him into this discussion. He has made me aware of a few choice bits of information about your chief diplomat and his relationship with a certain high level SLRN member. Although, perhaps relationship is the incorrect term, as it implies that there are *two* different people involved.

Francis Tabernac Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I have it on the best invented authority that they just happen to enjoy having their hose mended at the same shop, whenever they happen to be about town on business. With that said, I'd be remiss if I didn't include this: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteAmount Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) With that said, I'd be remiss if I didn't include this: A serious point though: the amount of USA players that believe that is overwhelmingly high. Truthfully, I'm not entirely convinced that is not the case. Edited February 22, 2016 by InfiniteAmount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Tabernac Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I'm quite certain it's been explained before, but I'll do a quick run-by as best I can. I'm a relatively new member, but a very old acquaintance has been a member since, I believe, '03, so I'll give it a try. The "Sealords Virtual Fleet" as a group has been around for years. They started in something like 2002 or 2003, maybe earlier. AFAIK they formed mostly around Age of Sail 2 back in the day (wonderful game), and created different fleets for RP purposes. At the moment the only active fleets are English and French, but they had Swedish as well as US once upon a time that I know of. There may have been others, but it's immaterial now. SLVF is a multi-national and multi-game community, which isn't at all uncommon. I've been a member of several over the years. Anyway, unlike Age of Sail, Naval Action offers the chance to actually operate as separate entities, and we do. The public section of the forum shows SLRN and SLMFr forums together as one greater "Sealords Virtual Fleet" forum - in the same way as any other forum has smaller sub-forums - along with currently-defunct forums for other fleets. What non-members can't see, obviously, are the private forums which are separated by fleet membership. While I may be a member of SLMFr and so a member of the overall SLVF community, I am in no way associated with SLRN, and cannot see any of their private forum sections. The same holds true for their members. When you join, you join a specific nation. I've never actually spoken with a single member of SLRN, nor even the gentleman that runs the SLVF as a community, and have only commented on 1 thread started by one of their members ever, something about problems getting TS3 to run with Naval Action. As for the other part, do people honestly believe that Charles Caldwell and Nakor are the same person? That's so foolish I'm not even going to comment on it. So yeah, we've nothing to do one with one another beyond agreeing not to shoot at each other should we happen across a member of the opposite fleet, unless war is declared between our nations; then it's fair game. We've never run coordinated maneuvers (French and British are operating in completely separate theatres at the moment anyway) and we don't even have the same diplomatic status with other nations. If US players insist on believing this whole conspiracy theory then hey, go for it if that's what they need to tell themselves. It makes no difference to me, and if they're insistent then we both know I'm not going to be able to convince them otherwise. In all honesty I thought it was just a running joke; if it isn't then that's kind of sad, and I'll continue to enjoy laughing at folks that insist on it Edited February 22, 2016 by Francis Tabernac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Marslow Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 How the hell did the British backstab spain? Spain attacked Britain in the middle of the talks to give them territory. Britain also most definitely helped Spain vs the US. Britain attacked the US in the gulf and screened for Spain on the Northern Yucatan. This post is full of lies, slander, and propaganda. The US stopped attacking Spain the day after las Tortugas was taken by Britain. Spain attacked Britain a few days later whilst Britain was under attack by pirates. Spain was trying to take south Cuba which they believed was "rightfully theirs". Peace talks began and in the middle of the negotiations Spain attacked Misteriosa. The Spanish members who left and joined the Pirates left because the inability of Spain to work together, realize they are a minor power and make allegiance or atleast a NA pact to anyone on their borders.

Baron Quertier Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Opinions will be what they are. I treat what I know of the British- Spanish conflict as a case of one mistake leading to another and unfortunate escalation. I wouldn't personally blame neither party, there are simply too many moving parts in each nation for black and white, clear treaties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
