Ship Battles and Cowardice

[Captain Del]

While running out of the SvS waters is annoying, like said before, it is only a way in which a pirate wants to live.

Just because a pirate leaves the SvS waters does not mean he is a coward. And I can back this up by many reasons.

1. If a pirate is being chased down by 2, 3, 4, or 5 ships, he will run. Its common sense.

2. If he needs to repair, it wouldn't be so smart to sit down right in the middle of the battlefeild, while a fleet of War ships go to battle around him.

3. REAL cheating in SvS is when you glitch or cheat to try and get the upper hand. Running away is only an annoying tactic.

4. All pirates have different strategies for SvS and/or PvP. Some prefer to go dead on, run as fast as they can into areas where the enemy is strongest, and fire away their weapons, holding nothing back. Others decide to take it easy, taking cover behind rocks, firing when their enemy is most likely to be hit, and, if neccassary, running away or hiding inorder to save their hides.

While this is annoying right off the bat, you can't call it cheating, because think about it, there are things that tough pirates would do, and then there things smart pirates will do. You chose which is which, it can't be that hard. Common sense my friend, you are going to die, you run.

Then again, there ARE things I would classify as cheating, or just plain childish, such as.....

1. Glitching into rocks to attack others or repair.

2. Glitching off the ship to go and kill the captain of an enemy ship.

3. Sending spies to go see what the other team is doing.

4. Logging off right in the middle of a battle.

You can call THESE tactics cheating, but not so much running away.

Agreed with most of it Captain Del but for this one, I think if you consider the likely survival tactics of real pirates and look at how that becomes incorporated in a game such as this then you will see that spying is also fair game.

I know its annoying and mostly you can rumble the spies because they stand on your ship and dont contribute to sinking the team they are really on.
But the clandestine acts of pirates such as this are not only survival tactics they are the natural development of the personality of the game. Like the thrill off the chase and being hunted or the kamikaze of going into the fray head on.
All these things are annoying if you are the one targetted and sunk but they also make you try harder and that makes the game fun. And its playing on the canvas that disney supplied us with so it isnt cheating.
