I shudder at the thought...


On the whole though, it would be somewhat silly as a kingdom to recognize the crescent isles as being 'owned' by a bunch of pirates. If Dustari merchants wish to cut a trade route through those isles, they do so at the risk of piracy, but don't believe we recognize the territory of any criminal bands as being sovereign, just (mildly ) dangerous to traverse.

Of course I mean that RP wise. I am not encouraging Dustarians to act like they own the place - but I do remind CP that any attack on any ship of our flag is an act of piracy that holds criminal penalties under Dustari naval law.

This is how it should work:

Pirates kill any ship they see

Otherwise why dont they just rename their kingdom (Cresent Merchants)

Even criminal bands know pushing the boundries too far can bring on heavy handed retailiations.

Thing is, Crescent Pirates aren't a band of criminals. They're more like... a club who thinks Pirates are cool but don't want their clubhouse destroyed.

That's the thing... criminals are a small faction against a larger government.

These are people who have already conquered Dustari once, so why wouldn't they be arrogant and pushy? The point of being a pirate isn't to have diplomacy and peaceful relations. Personally I think every kingdom should have a HOSTILE next to the kingdom names in their GUI.

They should really fix those boats if were going to have enjoyable sea battles. They are prone to getting mest up real easily.
