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.
