Popular Post Ripper Posted July 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) The admiralty of Arrgh would like to make an announcement that most probably will interest quite a few of the residents of Orbis. Arrgh goes on vacation and stops raiding for 2 weeks: All alliances will get two weeks on Arrgh's no raid list. About the specifics: After July 30, 11:59 pm (Orbis date/time), Arrgh plans to stop initiating new raids. All alliances will get a 2-weeks, free trial of Pirate Insurance, meaning they will not get attacked for raiding reasons by Arrgh till August 13, 11:59 pm. All alliances are free to declare wars on Arrgh (e.g. for counters) till August 2, 11:59 pm. Any hostile actions (war declarations and espionage) between August 3 and August 13 by an alliance will result in the addition of this alliance as well as of its protectorates to the new raiding list of Arrgh. In other words, the 2-weeks, free trial of Pirate Insurance will get cancelled. Should Arrgh get hit unprovokedly by other entities within the aforementioned time interval, it will counter all wars on defense of its members. Should Arrgh consider this task hard to implement on its own, it will be assisted by the Knights Templar. Considering that mistakes do happen, in case of conflicts initiated from either side, the corresponding alliance leaders will first get into contact in order to ascertain whether the Pirate Insurance will expire or not. Arrgh maaaay be interested in Politics and goes tabula rasa: Arrgh, on an alliance level, has never targeted specific alliances for personal reasons and does not keep grudges of any sort. Its wars have been revolving around the purpose of profiting, having fun and completing contracts. Since many alliances do not realize this, we announce that from this point on, we are offering a clean slate to all alliances to reconsider their relations with us. We consider that 2 weeks (3-13 of August) are enough for anyone interested to approach us for diplomatic reasons. Arrgh offers Pirate Insurance: After the 2 weeks have passed, the free trial of Pirate Insurance offered will expire. From that point on, alliances can buy their Pirate Insurance or the Pirate Insurance of other alliances. The specifics: When an alliance buys Pirate Insurance for a specific time interval, the alliance does not get raided by Arrgh members. Should any raids happen, Arrgh pays reparations to the alliance. Prices of Pirate Insurance can be seen on the following table (examples). For every 10k score, the price changes by $6 million. Prices can be negotiated and discounts can be made should a lot of alliances decide to buy insurance together. Alliances have the option to buy the Pirate Insurance share of other alliances. In other words, alliance A can buy the Pirate Insurance of alliance B so that alliance B stays out of the raid list of Arrgh. However, the buy-out can work the other way around too. Alliance A can buy the Pirate Insurance share of alliance B, so that alliance B is added in the raid-list of Arrgh. In such cases, full confidentiality is ensured, as in all times Arrgh undertakes a contract. Should an alliance have already bought Pirate Insurance for its own, other alliances cannot outbuy it (in order to remove it from Arrgh’s no-raid list). Alliances that have already bought Pirate Insurance from Arrgh for this period will get a 2 weeks extention. From now on and for the next few weeks, Arrgh puts away its Red War Flag after 7 months of raiding and flies the Black Flag. Feel free to contact Bluebear or me with any diplomatic inquiries on our Discord. Arrgh! Edited July 30, 2017 by Ripper 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buorhann Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm trying to figure this out. Is this Arrgh's attempt to "wipe the slate clean" so that they can build back up?

If i recall correctly, except for us rebuilding within few weeks as strong aa ever, TKR took a dillomatical backlash from other alliances for playing world police? I mean nothing's stopping you really, but why would you poke hornet's nest when the nest clearly declared they'll stop bitting you unless provoked? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed largely as a result of them hitting Roz Wei alongside Arrgh however and that's all I'll say on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
