Pirate Rank?

[Rei]

It says light green text means awaiting for promotion. Do I need to talk to someone to get that advanced?

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Ayup! Governors give out promotions.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Which storyline are you playing? Pirates don't usually have an actual Governor, since that was never intended.
We do hope to put something in place for that soonish though.

 

[Grey Roger]

You only need to go to a governor of the nation whose relation has gone green. If it's Britain, for example, then any of Grand Cayman or Charleston should be good. If you're playing "Tales of a Sea Hawk" then Port Royale is OK until the governor takes a dislike to you due to plot, but then your relation with Britain won't be green anyway...

If your relation with Pirates has gone green, the boss pirate at Nevis Pirate Settlement is your contact. Depending on timeline, there may also be one on Turks Island.

At Nevis, this is ONLY possible in the Brave Black Flag storyline.
At Turks, this is ONLY possible in the Jack Sparrow storyline.
Any other storylines do not allow you to gain ranks with the pirates.

Lame.

Lame.

Are you trying to be offensive on purpose? Considering I already posted this yesterday:

You don't like the way things are right now? We agree! There are a lot of things that could use improvement.
But Rome wasn't built in a day. We have few coders and a lot of things we want to do.
You want to see improvement? Best way to make it happen is by helping us get things done!

Not at all. I'm American. Lame is just a loose term of disappointment. If I wanted to be offensive I would have said something completely different and you'd know I was.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

It doesn't come accross very nicely, considering my post from yesterday.

"Current situation isn't perfect, but we're aware of it and already have plans to improve on it."
"Lame."

 

[Rei]

We Americans are misunderstood. We always sound rude, but believe me I wasn't. I apologise if it did?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Just figured I'd let you know how it may come accross. I do not believe rudeness, intentional or not, is generally very helpful.

 

[Rei]

Why not have the other storylines have a join quest for pirate characters? Perhaps a short quest to prove your worthiness as a pirate? When succeeded you can join the brethren court of pirates that way you can attain ranks perhaps even a possibility to become one of the pirate lords?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Have a look here to see what we're planning: http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/distinguish-between-different-playstyles.24511/page-8#post-501142
There are some other things we need to sort out before we can improve on the pirates, but it is high up on our to do list.

 

[Thagarr]

Lame.

I am American also, and I can certainly see why Pieter thought you were being insulting. Incorrect understanding of what a term means and it's proper usage can cause issues. One word posts with no context are insufficient for getting your point across.
