Skully Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Today I was sitting outside of the British harbor of Ruatan with my Trader Lynx. Pietjenoob came sailing up to the harbor and started tagging me. At which point I entered the harbor and exited again. Subsequently he tagged me again and I entered port again. This went on for 8 or 9 times. In Go this would be called a 劫, kō situation. "A play is illegal if it would have the effect (after all steps of the play have been completed) of creating a position that has occurred previously in the game." I think it needs addressing in the mechanics to prevent it from happening. I'll open a topic on it. At this point I considered it to be trolling. His counter point was that me sitting outside of harbor doing nothing is trolling him. I subsequently gave him warning that I would raise a tribunal. Which he blatantly ignored and tagged me again anyway. I then went for lunch and when I got back and out in Open World, he simply tagged me again. Granted that the broken mechanic allows for infinite tagging in a situation where it can not change the outcome. I do not consider this to be the griefing. I consider the ignorance of the warning, when clearly presented with a situation in which actions of Pietjenoob could make no difference of the outcome for any of the 15+ tags he made, to be the griefing offense. Even after my only recourse of action, going for lunch, made no difference in his actions. I respectfully request that Pietjenoob be demoted 1 level and given a stern warning. Awaiting your final judgement, Skully 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietjenoob Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Well if you are in a Traders lynx infront of a British port, yes i am willing to tag and trying to attack unfortunaly you are not willing to play.

Skully Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 And by the 10th tag and warning, this was not obvious enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietjenoob Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Well you kept coming so 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hence I went for lunch. Given when tagged, I would simply go in and out of port, resulting in no combat or attack. As was the case for 15+ times. What was your intent for tagging me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietjenoob Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Well what every Dutch privateer would do..... Checking the content of your Cargohold and reposes the Ship in name of the Vereenigde Provinciën. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Why did you think after the 5th tag that the outcome would be any different? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 One should be more intelligent ( privateering is not being an attack spam arse but about being cunning ), the other should not bring it up to tribunal. But still a decent exchange between gallant captains, carry on. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 I would not have brought it to tribunal, but I made the warning and was unfortunately forced to follow through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eishen Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 This is indeed no tribunal case, you are both your own right to discuss and feel pissed by the other one actions ....but IMO if he was virtually "blockading" the harbor he is not forces to let you "just being there" and having intel withouth retaliation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 We understand the frustration but We are not in a position to forbid multiple attempts to attack an enemy vessel. I once was reported for entering port several times to hide from the enemy too 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
