This is a bit of a random question I know but I always wanted to ask you if there is anything else you are good at other than memes and sucking the devs off?

Capping traders?

If I may correct you. Poland got removed from the map the first time after release and never before. And I didn't wanna do a shit. Only thing I informed Poles that they should not shit in front of their neighbours door, when they strongly rely on the friendlyness of this neighbour, who easily could wipe them out. And that their allieds did a shit to protect them. 

In the french case, the Dutch attack is completely unprovoced. France doesn't have allieds, which help them. They are going for nobody. And are just a little nation, which fights for its existence. The casus belli that you wanna kill the french before they become strong, is just laughable. Does the Netherlands really have to fear a french armada showing up right in front of Willemstad in three months?

Stay at home, mates.

Truthfully.

It was just practice and France was closest target. It was well known on the Dutch Discord that this was the exact point of flipping it. Can we flip a port as a nation rather than clans since many of us have never played together before.

Mission success.

Funnily enough one of the other alternatives floated was La Navasse, but I said no, admittedly for sentimental reasons.

Mind you, those sentiments evaporated upon hearing that GB decided to go help France today.

That mostly makes sense, but what I don't understand is that France doesn't have a powerful defensive fleet, it wasn't "mission success" it was impossible for you to fail with the ships you brought. So you didn't have a meaningful test of your ability to work together as a nation. Your success here does not mean that you won't crumble against real opposition, any group of people can set a PB when you outnumber the enemy and they are mostly 4th rates or smaller while you are rocking full stacks of 2nd and 3rd rates, probably with port bonuses. I appreciate that you didn't try to crush France completely, but I really don't think your test of national cohesiveness achieved anything or gave you any meaningful information other than the already known fact that France is weak.

It's not something that requires skill or something you can be good or bad at. It's something that can simply done. Besides all that Capping traders has not been rewarding since 2016

To much grind man besides as a forum warrior you cannot loose a battle. It's like every time I asked koc for a duel. I knew he would never accept so I asked. I would never ask if there was a chance he said yes 😛 Just imagine the face on me if he said yeah and I lost.

France would like to thanks EVERYone who has understood our call and came to help.

Our main goal will now be to get organized, to designate a reliable diplo, and to try to built a unite nation. We'll keep focusing on welcoming new players from release and try to improve their battle skills with the few veterans left, to be the modest part of the game we only seek to be at the moment.

This will be possible now thanks to you.

hf all, can't wait to meet you in os for gfs !

Notwithstanding whatever has been said here. I think we’ve assisted to something great today.

Global community rallied to prevent what was perceived as a vital threat to a disadvantaged nation in order to prevent a possible drain on the player base. 

Hopefully, and despite the forum RVR and all the salt thrown, this is a sign of some maturity in the player base and means the server can balance itself if such situation present itself again later with other nations, sending the signal an offensive has gone too far and an unofficial truce must be enforced  :)

Let it be a warning to the french leaders 

the Dutch will not allow unfriendly enemy ports  in their surrounding water  ( or any other nation ...for free)

also the port BT must be closed or otherwise the PB fleet will not stop at the gate of mercy again.

 

in the past we had good relations with some french and it kept the peace for what is was 

 but now,  if you  spill the wine we will not drink it from the tray because you like it that way.

I understand your point, but what other ports were offered?

Could Old providence do it if GB allowed it? Anywhere else? Bermuda maybe?  

Or do do you think Poland shout be denied owing a single port?

You should thank BAIT for showing up to help, they just put more of their ports in the firing line ;) We were content to stop at Les Cayes, but La Navasse just got real juicy looking

The attack on Bridgetown is of global importance right now. :) 

However you are right, prussia will fall soon aswell with MONKS leaving to the dutch nation ...

Where were you when the dutch were practically one ported by the Russians, French and Swedes? If I remember correctly you even took one of those dutch ports for yourselves.

And you guys seem happy enough to farm the french for combat medals on a daily basis.

No, not must be, but before SNOW and other clans joined Dutch you weren't acting all mighty. Actually ya all weren't doing much at all and only reason Gulf of Maracaibo was dutch was because of the help of GB.

France is one of weakest nations atm, .. yet you act like you conquered the caribbean. Let me know when ya wake up.:).

 They should be denied any ports that are intended to be a direct threat to Sweden.  The french have invited multiple enemies to our doorstep to create a proxy war with Sweden, even though they were getting by far the better part of the non-RvR agreement.
