What is an easy gank button?

I wish I had that much gold.

Ned, pls...

How exploitable would such rewards be, do you think?

LH is fine as it is, I've always had more LH than I need. LH comes to me automatically when I do other things. I'm limited by cash. ... What if I could set up production and shops for oak logs in Spanish Town, stone blocks in Coral Bay and guns in Road Town? Right now I have to haul the stuff to CS and put up a contract to get anyone to notice. What if I could have factory outlets where I place my wares on virtual shelves, set a price, change it if I'm a shithead who tried to price-gouge, and have my offers visible in the trader tool? This would bring prices down quick and that is good for all starting players. It would make it easier to know what factory to set up as you could see what others are selling and not. It would make it easier for starting players to buy resources cheaper and sell crafting materials as retailers. Pretty soon we would a lot more player made stuff available at rates more like what we know from the real world, no more 24pd longs offered in CS at 7000 gold a piece (true story). As far as I can tell the rather clunky and limiting contract system makes the economy limp along on crutches. Most clans don't bother helping the economy and keeps things in-house to minimize wasting time. People will still have to go to sea to get the stuff they want. ...

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. admin, pls stahp making good changes because someone out there can and will get annoyed.

Thanks @Black Spawn

sig map, best map.

I tried dipolomamacy, very hard, how am I doing? What is "consequences"? Can I exchange that into gold?

Ok, you have picked your fight. Nothing I can do about that, is there?

Pick your fights, buddy.

Turning a tall ship downwind to run allows the little critters to still land 4 hits to a topmast section? Tall ship then repairs to get back up to speed, but critters can not only keep up but get the mast down again?

Anyone who loses his Surprise or Ventre to a cutter swarm wants it or is completely clueless. Do we need to have game mechanics to interfere?

serB. Wargaming head that is, in orders of magnitude, "worse" than Game-Labs are being accused of. He did it shamelessly. It was glorious (Your mileage may vary).

Are your sensibilities really that tender or are you fighting for other people's imagined tender hearts? I've observed this other places as well; Hyper-sensivitity towards banter and terse remarks. Maybe it's a cultural thing? "Oh, no you didn't! You are a professional, if you deliver even one snide remark I'll have my moral outrage flare up so bright you'll be consumed by my holy wrath!" Please let us not go there? Things become so boring and sterile if everything we hear from Game-Labs are cleansed through a bussiness ethics filter. Sure, we will have impeccable decorum but the free exchange of ideas and opinions won't flourish as much. I like this better: Some people might not get the reference, ask before you shoot.

If you've been there before and have all this deep understanding of how annoying user nagging can be, why would you come here and do just that? Also, you made this thread after being in direct communication with admin in that other thread.

koiz, pls... You're not the first to bandy about with that. What is that? Some sort of advanced way of getting attention? As a user I find them to be among the most responsive developers I've been around. I've been prepared for every wipe and every postponement by the developers by direct communication. 10...9...8...7...6...5...4... It's not the developers' communication that UNcalms my titties.

What makes you consider this?

I’ve been meaning to write this for a year and decided to pull my finger out of my butt for this thread. This story starts with @TommyShelby. He was bored and no good can ever come out of that. I had recently gotten to know him during his last days in TDA. Diplomatic relations between the Decaturs and Rakers had been difficult for a long time so we weren’t obvious bed partners. @Kaos hints at parts of the explanation to the volatile political situation in his post On the (EU) evening of wednesday march 2. 2016 tommi was a free soul with friends in any and all camps. His birds had whispered in his ear about brits PVE grinding the shit out of their newly acquired Pavels hidden away in the nook outside Port-au-Prince. Tommi sent out ravens to all the corners of the caribbean. Some of us heeded the call. @Puchu and myself represented the Rakers and the DA-NO faction, @nornica and @Salzi hoisted the black, @SeaWolf_ came with TDA and US colors flying. @Ellis and @Turpos were stuck far away with no teleport. To get into île-à-Vache (Now: Freeport moved to Navasse) those days could be messy. The Brits held that general area and reacted with a knee-jerk-role-playing reluctance to foreign presence. I should say that pretty much all factions had their special emissaries in Vache hunting the vegans so it’s quite understandable I had 14 ships chasing and tagging me inbound. Outside Vache while we waited for SeaWolf: We got everyone safe into Vache and waited a bit for the bees to settle down. Then we set out in a group to kill anything. The brits still had overwhelming numbers in the area but I suspect they hadn’t seen a multinational expedition before so they never came close. We decided to proceed around Tiburon towards the grazing Pavels. We saw a few smaller ships that ran to the best of their ability and didn’t expect a fight before we got to the fatties. But there he was, coming out of a grinding mission in a connie. It was an old Sea Trials buddy of ours; poor @Kaaru62. Being in a slow bot-grinding ships it was easy to tag and sail up to him. I just ran alongside him putting 18lbs balls into his masts while the others weaved his stern doing the same. All his masts came down in short order, but his 24’s and carros had put my shitty frigate in a sad state. I captured his floating turret to avoid sitting in a sinking ship. We set course for the Pavels but we had outstayed our welcome and Salzi in his scout spotted a wall of brits coming for us. @manuva85 was brit in those days and he was responsible for doom closing in on us. I forgot to ask him to join our shenanigans and I still feel bad about that. We ran. As far as I recall SeaWolf took one for the multinational team by initiating an instance thus allowing the rest of us to slip away. I kept kaaru’s ship in CS until it was wiped Sorry, not sorry. I miss nornica, if anyone here talks to him say hi from me. Shoutout to kaaru62, @Puchu, @Schuetzengel and all other MIA’s.

Your guide was fine. Job well done. My jokes are directed at the subject matter itself, not your analysis.

lol, Norfolk. Your guide was very entertaining, but I don't know what to do with it. Should I applaud the pragmatic approach or should I avert my eyes in shame and disgust? I knew nothing about sandboxes before I came here and I can't tell if I'm enlightened or violated.

Thanks!

I come from the south west. The dialectal words in Markens Grøde are from north Norway, "dokker" just happens to be a fluke word appearing in both those quite different dialects. Did you enjoy the monumental national-romantic Markens Grøde? I absolutely hated it when forced to read it in gymnasiet, I was put off by the massive hard-on Hamsun had for his idealistic vision of "the original Norway". Re-read it later and quite enjoyed it, though. I highly recommend Jens Bjørneboe's "Haiene" (The Sharks). Naval themed romantizing anarchy. He was a kick-ass author who went to fight Franco in Spain. He also got in trouble with the Spanish police, "He touched me, noone touches me, so I hit him." Hey! What Danish author should I read? I'm particularly interested in those who formed their respective culture or provoked it.

You type it out in like I would say it, Niels, it's neither nynorsk nor bokmål but rather dialect. Heia Norge!
