Decree of Liberty

[DezNutz]

It is powtru quotes from multiple eras that discuss the ideology you are all discussing.
Summary is you are free to do whatever you want as long as your Fredy doesn’t transgress on another’s or cause them harm.
In English for pirates advocating freedom, history says BS your freedom to rampage on the expense of others is revoked and not tolerated.

Translation: we are still fine with piracy so we are more forgiving than history you drama queens.

Pirates were hunted. Criminals were chased. Raiders had armies rise to fight them.
Traders simply said no more and rose against the incursions of pirates. Now pirates are whinnying about is and saying tyranny. Well pirates, die as free as you want for history will call you nothing but criminals

You should go back and read what was written cause you clearly didn't.

This has nothing to do with taking action against pirates.

This has to do with this:

We will be waging war on those who continue to commit harmful actions and create demeaning posts ultimately found harmful for the games future.

Then you misunderstand the quote.

Breaking it down to simple terms. A man can not stand in judgement of another when he has comitted the same or similar transgressions.

Pirate can not pass judgement on a pirate.

This is not directed at you specifically.

Lol well if it isnt the trader with only a tail who are you "protecting"?

I hear terms overfishing and think to myself what if they have a bigger appetite? Some I would bet would say you are overporting.
So are you willing to drop ports to meet my standards of proper porting?

Do not light up members of a guild because you are mad at one. Are they not comrade in arms? Then why are you here?

Eh fook it you get the point.

You do not get to judge my actions as wrong according to your standards and dictate my actions to further your cause or for your comfort.

I know.... lets all compromise here. No one is allowed to cast more than 10 cards on any one person/ nation in a given week.

Better yet, lets outlaw use of voodoo altogether and go to a ship based game.

Or third option..... lets just all back the **** up for a minute and realize this is a damn game.........

I don’t know about demeaning posts. I personally don't like smack talk and advocate against it in general because I feel that sometimes in the forums it goes to the point of bullying. Then again, it is not my call. It is the admin job and I am not one. So It is not up to me.

As for harmful actions, I am sure Stan meant only ones that goes beyond reason and talks have failed repeatedly.

TKP or not, I am not going to stop piracy, guild wars, or port wars. I just don’t want to be involved with any of them but they happen. I will take part like any other player.
From my perspective, what constitutes as harmful action would be someone losing sight of the prize and causing more harm than needed repeatedly.

If TKP exceeds the intended purpose, I will be the first to leave and call foul play. You have my word.

I'm so over this whole deal. This is purely a battle of who can out posture who. Neither side is going to step up and really put the screws to either side and at the end of the day all things will remain the same.

What "prize"? There are no winners in this game, there are only players.

Forgive my real life example for a second.
If you are a sales man, and you are trying to get maximum profit out of you potential client. You make the sale but that client no longer wants to deal with you.
If you instead accepted a lesser profit short term, you will be able to get that client to come back and buy again and again. May be bring friends and family. And then your long term profit will beat your short term one from case one.

Talk is cheap, just end this ruse so we can resume regularly scheduled programming.
