Last night, on Tortuga beach two unguilded high-level pirates and a baby pirate were standing together. This prompted me (being a GM) to inquire why they weren't in a guild.

They told me they were looking for a good home, and all three would join as a group. Quite a coup for someone I thought. But, as I read their responses other guilds trying to recruit them - I realized why they were on their own.

These three seemed to be proud of their bans, suspensions and were only seeking a guild for competition in events, etc. At that moment, I took my leave. As I parted I wished them good luck (simply that). I said, 'Good luck, I hope you find a good guild.'

One replied - SHUT UP, ELIZA. I walked back and asked what? He repeated it.

Now, here is my question... When this happened - should I have let it go?

I know they were probably just kids, etc. But, I didn't let it go. I posted an all points and over a dozen of my guildies TP'ed in. With that, I told the rude little ragamuffins that there was good reason why they won't find a guild who would want them. I asked that no one fight with them, just make the point and go.
