No one will be using these ports for trading while Prussia has 3 ports smack in the middle of pirate territory. As I said, the ports gained are of little value and the port gained by the Prussia has some. Both sides have the ability to relax their timers a bit, which I think is the real value here. Pirates will also be neutralizing their only fleet that has the capability to beat prussia with any regularity. Seems a fair in my opinion.

Ports returned are useless with the exception of Live oak from Mayaguana. It will however please the mort rats. It is worth mentioning that Grand Turk was purchased by XXXXX for 30 mil and they will be returning it as part of this deal. VCO will agree to the map listed by Privateer with or without the addition of Ragged/Saint Nic (we don't want them). I would like the following stipulations to the deal that was discussed between @Captain Cid and myself. Evening pirate clans will cease offensive operations against Prussia (neutralizing night flips). Prussia will cease operations against pirate ports. Prussia understands that the daytime pirates are not covered by these deals and operative outside of them. VCO/XXXXX will not assist the daytime pirates offensively against Prussia. Evening pirates and Prussia are at a bit of a stalemate and losing millions on timers for ports that don't matter. I'd prefer to just end this bullshit and move on to other things. We can't take their ports during their times and they can't beat us during our times.

why don't we have a shot logger in game anymore?

A smart cookie like you should be able to decipher where we hang out based off our timers. Maybe. VCO has a list of required outposts that all members must have. That list does not and did not contain... Pitts, Nipe, Parrot Cay, Mayaguana or Lorimers. Your web of lies and spies is incorrect I think. Can’t stump this Trump buddy! Anyway this thread is starting to smell a bit like desperation. I’m out. Please refer any further tin foil theories and/or attempts to justify ones self worth in a game to VCO’s chief role player @William Death. Thx

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!

Like Aquaman?

RIP Rax's evening timers

Who would these self proclaimed server police be?

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.

Phaserburn died on the outside. We also got Silfarion in another battle where a few other prussians bailed on him in battle. Not really remarkable battles, but since we're dick measuring....

I dislike the players who insist upon RP’n as “yarr real pyrates” but then complain about all their shallow ports being gone. I ask, well did you show up and help defend them? They say why of course not, we’re real “yarr pyrates”, we don’t do RVR. There’s your answer To quote a favorite show of mine, “Decisions are made by those who show up”.

Adios!

We’re not allied with France. Just a mutual understanding on the east coast and Florida where we shared mutual enemies of US, Spain and Russia. I think WO is similar to VCO in regards to we’d rather be put PVPn at night than flipping each other.

we sink everyone.

VCO is fortunately or unfortunately not the deciding factor. That lies with Privateer and XXXXX as the Prussians primarily want ports they own. As I’ve expressed before, Prussia is welcome to Williams Bay should that aid in the talks. Seemed most wood ports are losers these days anyway. We will support 5x’s decision regardless. Just a casual view of the screenshots and recent battles prove than clearly Ram’s back must be hurting tremendously and Prussia seems exceptionally good at killing Mort rats and half assed PBs...which is sadly most of our daytime crews can put together. I will however suggest that if NSANE wishes to prolong this war because of whatever reasons they might have, they should get busy whipping the daytime crews into a good enough fleet to challenge Prussia. I sadly cannot be there during the daytime most weekdays. Also insulting the only clans that do beat the Prussians is a tad counter productive and does not help with cohesion. Talk is cheap. Just a thought. I am of the opinion that since both our nations have good fleets at opposite times of each other it probably makes sense to end the griefing and just try to ignore each other. I much rather enjoy ganking noobs at night and watching 5X carve up Spanish ports than organizing RVR.

Ummmm... ok?

I’ll be impressed if anything comes of this, but an example needs to be made IMO. The trollquin has made this type of thing even worse.

A big issue is the fact that we have 11 nations and 400 players on a good day. Nations simply cannot have round the clock support because the base is so diluted.

Are you not excited for the FLAGS FLAGS FLAGS!!!! DLC?

Maybe we'll get better fights there.

Frantic or fanatic? Frentic is not a word

Since I've been summoned here from the dark realm... The more and more I think about RVR / Timers, the more I feel like having a black and white timer system is the wrong way to go. There needs to be a third option in there somewhere where an attacking force can set a port battle without having to give up 2 nights or mornings to take the port. The flag system was great in this regard, but it was abused. We need something similar that can't be abused, but still allows players to set a battle the same day. I think if players only had to dedicate 1 afternoon or night to take an off-time port, we would have less whining. In regards to OPs post, I like the idea....but it won't work. It still requires players to be on 2 days in a row to take the port, which is the problem.

both of you quit every other 3 months. carry on

This is a crock of shit. You’ve had about as many empty PBS against GB this week than you’ve had vs pirates in the past couple months. Most of them in your time zone. Sterile RVR = Spain starts losing and quits...regardless of which time zone player base beats them.

You mean the guys we’ve been fighting non stop for over a year? After a while when you fight the same group over and over it gets tedious. We stopped recently, let each other do our own thing more and take a bit of a break. It’s been great. GB just took more empty ports during the daytime this week than I have at night in the past 2 months. So yea...
