The Cowardly Captain

[MajorGosnell]

Whilst docked up at KPR,reports came in of a sizable Swedish fleet harassing shipping around Jamaca.Quickly rallying a defence force we sailed out to meet them.Engaging in battle just west of Morant.Sadly however i found myself over extended at the front and was sunk quickly.Meanwhile the rest of my fleet had been slowly closing the distance.Then Captain Panty Snatcher,commanding a Bucantaur abandoned the battle just as the rest of the british fleet was engaging the Swedish,leading to the loss of 4 4th/5th rate ships.

I cut the video at this point as things got very heated,personally i find that sort of behaviour abhorrent,you should never abandon a fight ,when those you leave behind have no chance,especially when you are in a fully armed Bucantaur.Had Captain Panty Snatcher actually warned us before therest of the fleet closed the distance,it would have been ok,but to abandon just as the fleets engage each other is aweful.

Which brings me to my second thought ,twice now i have had captains do this in battle,i wonder if this is a new tactic by alt accounts to lure people into battle believing they have superior numbers.

Things like this is what people do with alt accounts

Some people feel that naming and shaming a player is wrong bullying perhaps,i disagree,People can judge for them selves if his actions were honourable,and right.People can choose to not sail with such captains or if they choose sail with them.I for one would not sail with someone who values a dura over his fellow captains ships.As to bullying,its not bullying to tell the truth.

Remember aswell this is but a game,our ships are pixels,however respect for your teammates is an important value,one that i will always value.

Likewise if people find my style lacking in skill or my manner harsh,i respect your decision not to sail with me,might i recomend the ignore button on nation chat.

Regards

I would rather not choose to fight alongside with Gosnell, because he will more likely lose a ship quickly turning the even fight into favour of enemy. Sorry, but using all the time random fire mode, getting boarded all the time and killed easly, missing all broadsides, no idea how to sail. Sorry, but you're not a newbie. Also I would call it bullying from your side, even if I agree that Panty Snatcher should warn all of you about leaving fight in advance. You spammed Nation / Global Chat, made video insulting player - not about battle and now thread on forums. That's bullying.

Srupl i have never claimed to be a good sailor,im a pretty piss poor one,but i never run from a fight.Unlike some here i work full time,and also pursue other projects(women),So no doubt i lack the skills the more enthusiastic players possess.As to the video,i didnt make a video insulting a player, i recorded a player doing something dispicable.Yes i alerted nation and global as captains have a right to know who are cowards and who are not.

Now run along Sru,im sure there is hiostilities need raising,you catch me knee deep in splinters fighting.

Happens every time in all nations your not immune to it.

You made a mistake from start with bad tag,

Made it worse by distancing yourself from your shipmates and instead of breaking off and resetting was a no win situation for you or your team mates.

Heat of the moment with your decision to continue at all costs and , and please no offence, your bad manual sailing made you very easy target.

Next time don't stay in cannon view when your getting cornered like that.

Guy that left be it right or and I agree wrong was indeed correct at the start it was a bad decision.

Sometimes the kill at all costs indeed do cost. Learn the lesson and improve.

Better luck and if you find the solution to guys leaving battles let me know cost me 2 duras first day I had my Cecilia a few months ago
