Do you ever forget that you are talking to real people?

[The Skirata Clan]

Wow, you sound like a journalist... Unfortunately every word you say or at least your point is correct. you can never fully express an idea properly in game because of the lack of context in which that idea is being expressed. The closest thing to a real life friend in game are those that you have some trust in and have a close idea of how they are in real life by analyzing the few conversations you may have with such pirates. In my case I can say that there's a handful of pirates that I could say that they could have been my real life friends if I would have met them in real life. So, with those pirates I know they will get the context. With all other conversations are game related only to avoid such issues. What I mean is that what you say is going to be taken at face value an the context will be added at the recipients discretion. They might get or they might be offended. Hope that all that makes some sense.
