Sadly, I've seen many instances of people on tag not rping, and frankly, it makes rping very difficult ;x It is amusing, however, watching the non-roleplaying community try and figure out what you're doing and why you're acting so strange... That's always fun

You cannot refer the behavior of a person (and this is the topic), to the entire group. Be simply more essentially please. I know you are an intelligent person.

By the way: One member of the Pirate-"idiots" is Stefan.

I am sad that you are still so childlike as a guy of 17.

There are times when being out of character while on tag is defendable, in trade rooms, and such, but if there is ever a time when it is undefendable that would be in a conflict with another kingdom on tag.

To top that off, to use bugs is just as low as you can get. There is a reason why people who use magic on horses in kingdom battles get punished for it.

There is a reason also, why 'create food' is not intended to be an offensive spell

Ships are already buggy, they are hard to navigate, people get stuck below deck, they get stuck on items, you can't enlarge the screen to actually see land ahead of you, you never know what is on the next screen when you go over a map divide, you have to get of the hold agian everytime you change maps, and you get warped into the walls below deck and have to unstick sometimes, or come above deck and appear on land but are unable to move.

That said, trying to use bugs to sink ships is just dispicable, and I will personally demote any Dustarian who does that in a naval battle.

I would like the guarantee of Alan that you'll likewise condem that conduct by your own members and please, lets assure people know they need to be ic when they engage in kingdom conflicts - it should really go without saying.

Sure I can. If the leaders of the group and other members allow such behavior to occur than it's the entire group that is at fault. Guilty by association. Don't allow people that act like this to be in a kingdom if they're going to tarnish your 'good' name.

Stefan isn't an active player. So your little cut into me is null and void.

Oh yeah. I agree with Jagen.

I believe in giving loyal members a chance to change and improve.

I also think the right way to handle a conflict with a person in another kingdom, is to
contact their leader first before starting a discussion in forums. 'nuff said.

When you are Governor of Pirates, and I am not, then I will respond with a hearty "Aye
Aye, Sir". Until then you will get no guarantees by demanding anything in a public
forum. As always, I am open to a discussion of what could be done to improve Pirates
or improve its member's interactions with other kingdoms.

What the hell has that got to do with anything you idiot?
All Padren is asking for is for you, as leader of the Pirates, to make it your responsibility to make sure that your members do not abuse bugs to stop ships in an RP environment.
Basically, from that post I can ascertain that you will not be punishing Pirates who do this.

All I asked is that you condemn the abuse of bugs as strongly as scamming is condemned. I can guarantee the same on our end, and I don't think that it is too much to ask.

I have always treated you with respect, there is no need for the 'when you are governor' attitude. I am sorry if you mistook my request for a demand, the condemnation of bug abuse is implicit as it is something people get banned for - I just requested that you state it for your members' benefit, since that one fellow had some trouble with that concept.

RP on tag... we dont RP over "toguild:" fairly ever not that I've seen anyway... cept when we greet and say "farewell dear (so an so)"... and Alan if you havent noticed is an amazingly good leader through thick an thin... I dunno about other kingdoms... but when I was in KJ... our leader was fairly ever active and we never had any actual interesting events... and even now.... KJ's leader is inactive which is most likely why KJ only have less than 50 members now... so dont bring Alan into this or you will bring me into this... and I have a lotta crap to say too!!!

Speaking for myself, I have never brought the overall quality of CP into question, only the actions of one member and asked Alan to express his stance on the abuse of bugs to ensure his members have no doubt in their minds as to what is and is not allowed.

Ya, that would be accurate if Canada was a bunch of Pirates, who are SUPPOSED to pilfer, pillage, and plunder.

Edit: About time Alan that you start acting like a Pirate instead of a diplomat.
