....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.
