Some Captains should remove their skirts

[Vllad]

Why in the world would any captain feel all their alts in other nations are covered by an agreement put in place that covers their primary character? If you have a deal with French, Global, Purge and you are sailing around with your alt and his clan tags doesn't match who we have a deal with you are going to get sunk. Don't waste your time coming to our TS channel. It will not help you.

If you don't like it don't play your alt.

Only fools would try to enforce covering alts.

I get it that some captains will lie and say anything to avoid getting sunk but it is the captains of my own team that need to put their big boy pants on. Every time I sail with non Purge to pvp with they have to have an hour long debate about who we can or cannot attack. If I hear one more time "Wait, let's keep him tagged so we can verify if he is an alt" I am going to gouge my eyes out.

Other French should just be warned if you want to come PVP with Purge come prepared to shoot cannon balls not fact checks. Otherwise go play with some other clan and stay out of our com's telling us who we can or can't kill.

The sexism in this post is triggering me.  Maybe I wear skirts?  Are skirts only for females?  Who are you to assume our gender?

Slops is a less feminine term I guess ?

[Barbancourt]

Alts should always be sunk, on principle.

Life is so much easier in the Iroquois Confederacy.  See an enemy?  Sink an enemy.  The only discussion is which warriors get the honor of scalping.

I'm telling Pagan you have an image of Willie stashed away.

[Vernon Merrill]

I'm pretty sure Pete said Willie had flaming red hair...

[Hethwill]

Isn't Willy ?

Well, if that isn't Willy/Willie (can't remember spelling), who is it?  Could be artistic freedom or the lighting too

[Hethwill]

We need Pete to come forth do tell the truth about Willy and the skirts.

Also this...

The real question is what did name his new ship?  Did we ever get an answer to that contest?

[Hethwill]

Yes. Gorgon. His own choice won the contest. He got the prize

If you are running a cross nation ALT you have to realize that comes with some risk to it and accept that risk.

If you are in a nation sailing with nation mates it becomes problematic if you ask the others in the group to spare targets based on friends of friends Alts.  If we constantly did this there would eventually be almost no targets on the seas as half the game is actually moving cargo on Alts to the take advantage of markets without getting attacked.

If a pirate player creates a British alt so he can trade cargo unmolested at both capitals then what that really does is disadvantage the British nation. It removes Econ and gold real Brit players could be utilizing there by disadvantaging the British players. If done in mass to a small nation, like Spain, it can shut down the ability of the few real players in it to play the game as all their stuff keeps flowing out to other nations.  

What we need is a way to flag cross nation Alts so the host nation can brand them the traitor they are and attack them.

Where you been Louis and why isn't it global!

At this point in time, we all wore skirts until we were old enough for a Breeching

Back before the merge I had 2 pirates and a Dane, now it's 3 pirates, but I'm a firm believer if my Dane had got caught by anyone other than clan members it's his own dang fault for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I tell this to clan mates that bitch about.  If you don't want your alt sanked by another nation than stop going to hot spots and get an escort.  Simple solution to the problem.

As for marking suspected traitors the problem is I see all the time folks accusing new players or clanless of being alts.  If your smart and have an alt than your not going to be gaining tons of attention to your char.  You hide in the back and remain silent.  So you can see folks abusing the crap out of the flagging system marking any one they don't like as a traitor.

Oh be warned the game is now on steam sale.  So we are going to get some more alts and even more new players so don't be rude to the new players thinking every single one of them is an alt.

This is exactly the case as Texas laid out.  If you have an alt lay low.  Bringing an unclanned 1st rate to a port battle the rest of the entire nation are attending in Indefatigables is just asking to cause trouble. It shows them your an alt and it shows them your taking their CMs away.  Just play it smart, blend in and lay low.  @Texas you might need to have a casual discussion with Lone Wolf about that.

i don't think a traitor flag issued by players would work either. But perhaps some sort of reputation system.  For every direct trade with a foreign player a loss of reputation that eventually leads to potential flagging maybe.  Sure they can go around it using the market but that is at least more in the spirit of game play.  It's the blatant guys that come into your port battles, buy up all your trade goods or just just hand gold coin to another nation.  If it were maybe a little harder for them to do it. If they at least tried to hide it better or if we occasionally get to shoot a blatant one now and then everyone would be happier.
