[Capt Seafury]

But he only knocks you out if---

...Look at it this way. Most people who play the game are little kids who see that a GM is giving out gold. Naturally, they assume he gives gold to everyone he sees. So a bunch of noobs might go to Abassa Port Royal dock and wait for him. If, by an extremely lucky chance, they see him, a bunch of these lucky noobs will circle around him demanding gold (trust me, I saw it firsthand).

The Captain tells them that "[their] greed will ensure [their] days will end like [his]". These noobs are confused because they thought that Cromwell was simply giving away gold for nothing. He won't knock you out if you just say the magic words: "I've come to help innocent John!" and Cromwell whispers a 21-letter code to you. Without the magic words, Cromwell is just another player (another player who knocks you out if you irritate him). It just seems that Disney wants to start using these new powers to show what kind of "personality" the GM has.
