Pirates attack
 

It has been brought to my attention that last night a Dustarian ship was attacked by a Crescent Pirates ship named "Ghost Pirate". The two Dustarians were left stranded after their ship was destroyed but they managed to build another boat and follow the Ghost Pirate ship that was heading for Dustari.

When they arrived on Dustari they found the boat of the Pirates but could not find the Pirates themselves. It was later found out that our entire Dustarian fleet held in the shipyard was destroyed; all that was left was a note saying, "Pirates were here"

I bet it was a dustarian diong that as a joke because we can't get into your shipyard.

Just one of the PM's from one of your fellow pirates boasting about what he has done..

Pay us Tribute and we Wont Sank ur Ships

Well..it's better then nothing. Atleast they're acting like the Pirates they are meant to be. Can't complain really, particularly as a Dustarian left the gates open..

I investigated into why our ship yard was left open, it appears nobody can actually close it, i tried myself and it told me "You are not an ally of this kingdom"

You have to be near the gate to close it (unsure if you tried this). There is a little lag when you do it.

As for the Pirate thing, good start they just need to attack Dustari now to followup the destruction of the Dustari navy.

Yeah
Like hell Dustari are gonna pay CP off.
(Don't bother anyway, wars = good. Just get a good war system...)

Go pirates. If I weren't in Forest and the Governor of Pirates didn't hate me, this would be the kingdom I'd join.

Zoe will gather all of her forces to attack the island and before they even land the whole CP Island will be destroyed! AWMEGAWD!

Torub Ship building platform doesn't work anymore for some strange reason.

It hasn't worked for over 6 months, Jagen couldn't fix it

More like Jagen was too lazy to fix it for you ;)

If one script works on the server and another doesn't, then you simply copy and paste.

hmm maybe, he did seem to spend a little time trying to fix it though, (he had me show him where it was)

As a general rule, I punish Dustarians who trash shipyards of enemy kingdoms, since its more akin to laming people at a their restart spot than it is akin to any kind of roleplaying. But its CP, and we did leave our gates open...

It sounds like a good reason to raise up our navy and patrol the seas for a while of the Crescent Isles.

In fact, lets see about raising a bounty on sinking pirate ships for a while - we would need some way to confirm sinkings though (and not just untended ships).

If Dustarian forces manage to get into the pirate's shipyard, they may do as they will since they did the same to us. All I ask is that A) you have to be in battlemode so you are fair game and B) if you do, it is only sanctioned against CP and for a duration of one week. After that, if you want to sink ships, do it in the navy and in a fair fight.

On a side note about closing the shipyard gates, it is a known bug and does happen a lot, it doesn't matter how close you are, it just doesn't always work. Sometimes, ungrabbing the wheel, regrabbing etc, and logging off/on can get it to work again, but it is a real problem.

Still, if anyone has that problem again, and the gates are left open PLEASE forum PM me or tell the highest ranking member online. You can even use ksay and ask people to come on tag to report that situation. Don't just leave the gates open when everyone would expect them to be closed - report it as best as possible to kingdom members.

The shipcount has been raised to a functional level and the gates are closed.

Ahhh, yes I, and another citizen, were the only ones to respond to this, I was the one whom followed the pirates into Dustari, At that time i asked for aid by saying to guild"we are under attack help" But sadly, only one brave citizen responded, (sadly i have forgotten the name, i shall post once i see her.)In which we destryoyed their empty ships, the "Ghost Ship" and another one, which im not familiar withBut me and another dustarian citizen could not find them, in which, obviuosly, they were in the shipyard. But my point is is that the smallest people, whom have been loyal to their kingdom, do not get any recognition at all, Dustari,why is this??

~~Soldier Lunus Astrian~~

This is another very strong reason levels should be taken out, I can see a few very strong top ranking members winning the fight for dustari.


That or just think of a way to not attack and only play it out verbally if it gets down to it. <---(this is the type of RPing Zirkiba and others want back)

Having made it known to us here, it is noted and We are very proud of our Soldier Lunus Astrian. He will be considered for promotion in the future for such good deeds.

Sounds like a good idea to me :) But, nah.... when there is a war it will be the right war, the right time and the right place. CP doesn't hold a candle to the forces of Dustari and Zormite in RP or in physical fighting. So more power to ya CP - we left the gates open, our fault.

Queen Zoe
 

Your honorable, Queen Zoe, i must ask wy you havent been with us for quite some time, and thank you for saying that about me, i feel honored, but when shall you be returning?

~~Soldier Lunus Astrian(Dustari)

Another reason to quit:
Peace~~~.
Why don't you declare a war? I mean, the shipyard was open, that's no reason to kill all these poor ships :|. I'm sure everyone would enjoy a nice RP war ;(.

But you refuse to acklodge the acts of those who made your kingdom. Nice



Dustari has gone soft -_-... If you attacked Dustari then you was as good as dead. Now I guess it's 'OH IT B O K BECUZ WE <3 U'.

Right time - The Pirates just destroyed your whole navy (Pearl Harbor anyone?)
Right place - You're bordering states

And no, when I went in the shipyard all you did was ***** at me and harass me. Why? Because you left the gates open. Nice one there.

Because "they cant have war in the current system". Because I could've swore that the game mechanics didn't stop me. Not to mention I could see this as a huge naval war, both sides equal.

Zurk, one minute you are saying wars in GK are doomed until the level probs are fixed (actually I agree) and then you want us to fight CP...I think you just get your kicks by disagreeing with people you don't like as a general rule.

The point is to find a way to play things out that is fun. Naval confrontations and pirate hunting, would be fun. Chasing all the CP members into their castle and have an ooc mass message feud springer style would, not be fun.

When a pirate does something infamous, the response should be scouring the seas to find that pirate and bring him to justice, its just more fun all around than trying to take over an island.

Gahah, there needs to be a war system.
The current one is bull
Just get a bunch of guys with swords, no armor, and a ton of speed rings, ZING you win.

Wow, I've never said you cant war on the server. If you had actually read my post you would've seen that it could've been just a 100% naval war anyway, where everyone is equal. But you had to put words in my mouth.

I would consider the destruction of the entire Dustarian Navy something infamous. And last I heard the Ghost Pirate hasn't been found.

Once again the ship wasnt "ghost pirate" it was "Ghost Ship"...*sigh*
and you cant find it cause its gone i destroyed it protecting dustari =P

You did actually say that about wars, we discussed that a while back on aim while trying to work out ways to improve rping on the server.

Trashing a shipyard is considered an ooc act of laming by most kingdoms, but starting some small ic skirmishes as a result would be a fun way to go.

But Think about this. Lately ((befor this all happened)) We've had Dustarians coming to CP with un-notified Reasons. We have no clue what your all up to. Also we've bein attacked too. We've lost around 5 ships. ((all being replaced)) So ever this it WASENT us maybe?

Also note: We've never had a ship called Goast Ship.
There once was near CP though

But it was treated as an IC event. Persuits happened and promotions were given.

It was treated as a raid, but not as a 'pearl harbor' as 95% of the destruction was ooc laming. Just because something is generally considered ooc, doesn't mean you can't do your best to have an appropriate ic response.

Consider it a matter of treating it the best way possible, that can result in the best possible RP results and fun overall.

but what if it wasnt us? we had ship casualties due to gates being open

I highly doubt someone would contact you or zoe and get an OK to trash a single ship even if it WAS an RP type situation, It's easy to say such things but i'm sure folks would like to see more action and less "peaceful" resolutions now. :cool:

Haha yes I'll make random posts just like you, git.h

But What if it wasnt us who attacked?

a Ghost Pirate Ship? with wallhack and such


some dustari guy destroyed 1x all our ships to.

I never said we should be contacted before ships are raided, just that taking out a shipyard at once is something of a 'laming' action. Its not unlike putting forts at unstick or in front of castle gates, houses etc.

Anyone whom sets sail for open waters should have cannonballs onboard, as its perfectly IC for pirates out there to act like pirates.

BTW Padren.. Paladin Antonio Yet AGAIN entered our waters and attacked so we chaced him off AGAIN
