Pirate v.s Bank Discussion

Pirates aren't allowed to own banks. Why are we allowed to use your banks?
I think that pirates should have a bank for themselves and no one who doesn't hoist the "Black Flag" won't be able to use it.
However pirates shouldn't be allowed to freeze accounts. They have no tax on transactions.






Suggested already? Maybe,who cares?Bump!

+1

Although perhaps a metric that decreases turn requirements for pirates when burying or recovering their treasure?

Merchant should not be able to bury treasure then.

I say both Pirates and merchants can use both, they are implemented things, there shouldn't be and restrictions.

Why is it that a pirate isn't allowed to own a bank for pirates?
Am I not a man? Am I not a brother?

If yeh can't trust a pirate yeh damn well can't trust a merchant either.

As I stated in the other post, I believe it would be an advantage if everyone (even pirates) could both use and operate banks. Several players change beween being in a nation and being pirate relatively often. Also, I think the rule that prevents pirates from operating banks is an obstacle to many other, good suggestions that would improve the game.

This is a legend, hardly any pirates actually buried their treasure: In fact out of all the known pirates only one buried his treasure.
