I mean.....pirates swarm the US safe zone every night at the moment too. 

Lets be honest, every pvp hungry group has ganked. Saying that one side does it worse than the other is rather silly.

Gotta be better at the "good farming" and attack some other area every once in a while. Heck, some patrol zones are great for pvp because everyone there knows that pvp can happen regardless if there are some issues to fix.

you are rarely online.  I get to see the constant Prussian raiding each day - for hours at a time.  Proportionally the Prussian raid the Mortimer area far more than other nations raid other areas.

Everyone ganks.

A fine distinction could be made for players who actively hunt in capitals areas and then those players who intentionally take ports used by noobs to "punish" a nation for imagined slights.  VCO does the former while other clans/players including Banished, do the latter.  I've actually seen him try and pitt other pirate clans against VCO / XXXXX for retaliating in their time zone and intentionally try to divide the nation and ruin the experience for the "mort rats".  I've been contacted by some of those players who will repeat lies that all similarly start with "Banished said this.....".  If people want to meta-game on that level, that's fine.  It's not my bag, I simply don't have the time or inclination to give that much of a shit about a video game.  Not a single port taken was owned or used by VCO in Banished's little "punish chrissy" war and we've actually gained a white oak port in the process.  Actually I've been kind hoping they'd take Bimini off our hands....  I've been to Pitt's Town once I think since going pirate and that was to help out at a PB that filled up with randos and I didn't even get in.  I could also be wrong, but I don't think I've actually lost anything other than a requin in this little war aimed at punishing me.  We've also not lost a PB VCO commanded against prussia....If I recall correctly.

So if the war was aimed at punishing VCO, it's not accomplishing its goal.  Really what it's about is taking territory in half full port battles from random fleets of mort rats and bragging about them on the forums.  Unfortunately HASNA has to pay for that expense with timers.  That's what Banished does and is only...and will only ever be capable of doing.  He did pretty much the same thing to the US a few months ago as he's currently doing to the Pirates.  

As far as the east coast goes, we hunt there primarily because it's the largest block of players during the US prime time.  And it's close.  We have yet to take a single port away from the US since we left that nation and we plan to keep to that unless provoked.  We're not out to punish their players or take away their territory because of one clan.  When it's not US o'clock we can be found smoking cigars between Habana and Key West.

I'm on almost every night, but yes I am not online throughout the day.

So the prussians raid everyday, so why is it terrible when they do it, but just another normal day when pirates do it?

How do we know what "killing a playerbase" really is? Is it consistant ganking in their safe zones? Is it taking all there ports? Is it never letting them expand after being figuritively wiped off the map? Is it a combination of all this?

Is if it's any one of these then almost everyone is at fault in doing this at one time or another.

If anything kills the game it's the lake of things to do. When there is no war, players have a tendency to play something else.

Well hopefully we get some good updates of content, but since we can't confidently rely on that we should be encouraging more war, more fights, more port battles.

Whos the prussian noobs? Please call them out for me. Cause last I checked prussia doesnt have a reinforcement zone brimming with clanless seals to club.

I'll take one from Your book, screenshots?

I double on this. As a pirate I'm curious to see who had White Oak at Pitts, RUBLI owned port, that none of us could defend since we didn't knew who's on RUBLIs friend list. Also there was no labor hour discout or trading company

We did fight for pitts but we didnt organize a sheet from what I recall. I was there, we got creamed and for whatever reason russia screened for Prussia.

Captain cid beat up my wapen real bad...and I was in a wapen cause we kitchen sinked that shit.

Yep I heard about that, but Banished said he saw VCO players moving stuff out of Pitts day before PB and one of them apparently had White Oak.
 

Im not surprised if they built ships there they could have shipped white oak in. This isnt a controversial point.

My bad, the guy had LGV in fleet, not Indiaman. But I stand by my point that he carried WO in the hold of his Bellona :) There was also lots of NSANE and other VCO moving stuff that night before the PB, we saw NSANE Indiaman fleets, managed to kill some. Was a great PvP night.

I was there helping with escorts, never had an outpost at Pitt's Town - just heard folks say they wanted assistance and I would've liked a fight. Most other players there decided not to have a fight and just gtfo as soon as someone got caught, like longbow. I felt bad.

I did almost take out PG monkey, but Hethwill was good at helping to cover his ally.

explain about 5 or more VCO players moving out of Pitts Town the day before the PB :) One of them was so desperate, he carried Indiaman in fleet + White Oak in his hold of Bellona. Teutonic was there as well, we had a nice fun with ROVER hunting them, moving out stuff in panic before PB.

About meta-gaming putting players against each other, I can see 24/7 pirates trying to put HANSA/PRIMA against ALOHA to break our good relations and cooperation.

We don’t use Pitts as a clan.  Not one single port you took was a place we used or crafted out of.  Unlike Williams Bay.  🙂  

I see a screenshot with an LGV and 2 warships.  I guess that equals 5?  Can you provide screenshots of the white oak and if he was indeed cleaning out Pitts?  What about the other 11 Indiamen we had there?  What about the guy on the grassy knoll?

If you want to meta game...cool.  You don’t matter enough to me to care.  

See ya kiddo!

You claim that VCO (or any other night pirate you waged war on) had a shipyard at Pitts and trying to serve it as a big loss to pirates. 

The fact is that none of us, US Pirates crafts at half of those ports. Parrot Cay used to be one of them, but since BF took it everyone moved.
