BG: (to John Doe, the only pirate that actually tried to role-play) We've noted you as an enemy of the EITC. Beware!

OMG! I read this and nearly FELL out of my chair! I did ONE RP event... talked directly with Captain Walter, even playing up the scene to the point that ol' Walter gave Eliza some kudos for 'her' words.

But, aye - every one else was in that paragraph right there. If they want true role-playing... DON'T ANNOUNCE these events! Just have occasional Black Guards showing up and wandering through towns. This mass pop-in and pop-out just causes mob scenes that make the 'health scare brown shirt scenes' look calm and organized.


And this LOOKS like the exact same thing from last time... maybe they are doing a 'refresher' before doing a new scene... but I agree that they need to start using other guilds, not just their inhouse.
