The reasons behind the newcomer protection

[Rolando]

I must agree with Captain D, (that rhymed), anyway its how I got my start and from what I've learned others as well. If they feel lucky they should be able to roll the dice. However they must also accept the revenge eventually.

The quote was said to Lieutenant Robert Maynard, a captain of a sloop, and the man who killed Teach
And actually most the time people who joined Teaches crew were willing and wanting to do it, other than the life they were living at the time

pirate history = cool

Following your suggestions:

1)
-New option: Newcomers may now lift the protection anytime they wish.
This option will be available through a link on the protection warning message.

2)
-The Governor will avoid giving targets that players cannot reach where possible.
*Especially for newcomers, they may be handed advanced players regularly. Their only way will be to lift protection or wait for it to expire to engage them.
*For advanced players it will be nearly impossible to be handed a player in protection but it may happen. If it happens, do blame the Governor (but still I would like to see it happen first so if it does, post it up please).
