Whats he going to do..... sink my sloop LOL bring it PP

Ill give Shadow an MoW to shoot for.... MERC and PP get a sloop at best!

If PP is man enough to go even after the fact I wont give a time frame, we'll see who loses more.

Your statements lead me to believe your battle experience is somewhat limited or sheltered. Two experienced players,
both have unlimited resources except for 2 things that are limited... Can you name them ?

Regardless, this is not about Poppy.
I doubt he would pick up the challenge for completely different reasons.
It is a challenge Shadow has made to the community as a whole to choose his target for some one on one fun and excitement. A chance to blow some voodoo and GC against a target willing or not.

I'm looking at the current pool of players and what they have at there disposal. Do I think PP is a juggernaut if it was an honest one versus one matchup? Not particularly. But having and utilizing other people and other resources is a strategy and given that fact, Merc executes like no other and supports their leader like no one which in turn makes PP a nasty animal to deal with. They have no shame. Can't target you? No problem. They will target your nation, your guild, your known associates. Still not a big deal? They will lock you down into floating nothing but a sloop, chain confused until you tap out.

If my guild has nothing to lose, I already fleet a simple sloop, I have no nation, no associates I would lose sleep over then what? Seems they would lose far more in the run and give up ;) or just keep losing.....


I get what your saying Banger but simple fact, you cant go up against them given your current set up and they seem almost untouchable in that sense, but the way to win is alter that setup to compete against your current opponent... adaptation. MERC is not above anyone else if they go the lengths. You can drain them it just takes time, if they don't keep going you do until they decide to find some other means of settling the dispute like compensation etc. "Patience and Strategy" win every day..

I find the idea of Vane versus Shadow quite unappealing myself. Not good TV as folks would say. There is too much mutual respect for it to be anything more than a staged skirmish. Shadow needs a target that won't take kindly to being a target.

You talk a big game for a guy that hasn't done any hostile pirating since 2016.

I have no doubt under Poppy's leadership, the guild can do some serious damage to any other guild in Avonmora but this is not about that.
It is a one on one challenge which is a completely different thing where there is two main deciding factors.
That be, time and turns... that is the deciding factor in a war between 2 stocked, experienced players.
