Pulling rank...

Well, after some effort, I finally achieved the rank of Admiral in the English Navy. After all that work, I decided to take a break from hunting pirates and the French and sail around. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" /> I came to an island that was apparently a Naval outpost. Can't remeber the name, but I think itwas Antigua. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> Anyway, I arrrived and started walking around. A few guards questioned who I was and I told them

"I'm ADMIRAL Davy Jones (I like the name <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> ). Usually this would satisfy them. However, when I entered the fort, being an ADMIRAL no longer mattered. The guard that I talked to sounded an alarm...on an Admiral! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" /> Well, I fended off the guards long enough to escape <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" /> , but I couldn't shake the fact that British soldiers had just attacked an Admiral, a rank I believed was the highest a naval officer could obtain. I was even wearing an officers uniform (I'm not sure that makes a difference). Can anyone explain this island and what I need to do to stop being attacked? Thanks. The guard mentioned something about a special brigade. Can one join that?

Thanks for the help.
 
That's odd. I thought there was a Letter of Marque check in the code for that. In any case, the island IS Antigua and it IS a naval base. CouchcaptainCharles would be able to tell you more about this. He added it all. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
There was. Everywhere except INSIDE the fort. They said it was reserved for members of a special brigade.

Wierd! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
 
You are not safe inside any fort ever. You'll always be attacked in forts, not just at Antigua.
 
Even as an Admiral? Sorry that just sounds wierd. I guess it IS more of an Honary title since I'm still a privateer. Oh well. Thanks fer tha tip matey! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />


See you at sea <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />


EDIT-By the way, what about that brigade? Can ye join it or is it more of a cosmetic thin?
 
Even if you're an admiral. That's just the way the code is written. It can be modified, but that requires someone to do it. I never even heard of that brigade, but I'm certain you can't join it.
 
no, you're about half-way. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> i'll look the topic up. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> the highest i got was more than 450 points A NATION, except the pirates. i owned something like belgium. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
