9 am is morning

sane people are sleeping at 3-4 am
most people are already awake at 9 am (edit: besides the ones that do nightflipping )


and before you go on about BST vs CET ... BST is a minority in Europe. (and ignoring the fact that british didnt care about timezones when they were nightflipping)

But Cayo's battle (which I assumed was the one we were talking about) will be at 5 BST. I'm quite sure if we flipped at that time it would be called a nightflip. I'm not talking about whether it's right or wrong to do it. Only that I'm confused by the way our definitions seem very mutable depending upon what is convenient to the speaker.

The term Ninjas has a trademark on it, and a copyright. It can only used against "some" british societies. Please don't call Pirates Ninjas, its an different term. I see that the Breakfast Club, would fit them better, as for milk drinking and cockie eating little monsters. hehehehe, Roberts as some dev said a little back is a 24/7 server and Global... nothing wrong with that... just get used to it....

Ohhhhh, (makes me cry) soo much feelings in your post. So much Whine about "I want PVP". Right now I feel having fun, not just power PVP 24/7. Something that needed to be done. THis game is not always making you guys happy, even if Rusty thinks differently about it. Its the community, and as I see it the Community is tired of PVP 24/7. Get used to it, we fight when we want, and not when a bunch of Pirates whats us to do so.

See thats what I mean. There is no point of playing the game when you notice that the company that hosts the servers uses nationals as the content for pirates. It would blow the other way around too tho. What I mean is, if a game (fun to play) gets unfun for what ever reason, you most likely stop playing. There is no point of fighting you guys, there is no point of winning a map (10 Royals and 3 citations of conquest) vs the Risk/gain factor as someone else mentioned before here somewhere. There is something else, look at the server population right now...moderate, I bet its not even that. Nobody is playing the game anymore as it was designed, patch 1.4 will even break it more. I bet that most of the people in here already are looking for something to jump on (AoC, back to WOW, or EQ2...etc). It makes me sad that I can't fight at a huge lose vs you guys or whomever I play against. I would consider fighting on even terms other nationals since if they lose I know that when I lose its even again.But then again, for what kind of a Gain? The 10 Royals I got when Britain won the Map? Its lame, no constent as for interaction or END-Game, except the UEBER-Unbalanced PVP game. Thats it for PotDs, its pretty depressing, I have followed this game for a long long time, just to see it die like this it really makes me a little sad.

Afaik there were 4 seperate French Groups out there. Out group got killed by the marooners, but I think the other groups have been mildly succesful. So stop whining about no French Group on the OS. (By the way most French took their cutters out because they couldnt get their groups together in one port, as most of us have their ships in grenville, and those who sink respawn in cayo )
