EDIT: Oh, and who was that crew member discovering it? He should get a fair share of the profit. Stimulates others to take initiatives as well...

What a good pirat should do PLUNDER

Hit and run, leaving no witnesses, and getting paid for it as well. Sounds like the job for my 2 fast sloops.

Agree!

(PS: Did you know privateers were more likely to die of natural causes (instead of being hanged), because they received an estate and immunity in the country they fought for? Just trying to help AndreasC here in making the right choice... )

Let's gamble a bit. CAPTURE THAT FLEET !!

Normally the Ottomans don't like the ruskies, and if they for some reason do now, well, they should have warned me :p

sorry, jonathan, I'm chasing some lost polar bears :p

Of course I will refuse!

The only way to conquer fears is to face them!
