@Culvern normally i would agree with you but not in this case, you've misunderstood the circumstance. He called for a pvp fight against a BH and i answered the call. We met in Boston port and both were able to gear ourselves and ships spacifically for the fight. During the fight he ran out of ammo and being a 'good sport' l wanted to give him a fighting chance. But instead of rearming and continuing the fight he just logged out. He coulda just said "it's late, lets continue another time" but didn't. For me it's over when one of us is waving a white flag over our sunk ship (unless it's best 2 out of 3). We'll see if theres another chance this weekend either before or after EPF. But then again maybe he's afraid to get beat by a girl lol.
I believe most of the negative reactions on this are from players who got setup by Nellemus and other pirates "screwing" the game for them time after time with his gameplay since they are not into PVP. Such am I, I enjoy the game rather as a peaceful trader.
However, I encourage the initiative to bring in some fun and events on your own Nellemus. It certainly deserves it's place in the game as well. Even better, it's a must to keep the game somehow exciting! Thumbs up for that. Btw, don't fear me, I will probably be the last veteran to be able to sink u, unless u let me to hehe.
So far u sunk me only once on the current server (near Boston for Christ sake), and I hope it will stay that way hehe...
I know piracy is part of the game but as for players who lack the time to play for hours at once it's a real PITA when u do not manage to execute a single successful Asia-Europe trip in months due to piracy activity. Also grinding skills is so so sooo hard for them, making it even worse to be buccaneered.
Anyways, I do hope Nellemus, you do understand that peaceful trading and exploring are part of the game as well and so far it is preferred by the majority of players. You should understand players who prefer that play style are upset and discontented because they don't have the choice either to be buccaneered or not while you pirates do have the choice to either buccaneer or not...
All respect for u and your PVP preferences but keep in mind that the choices as a pirate manipulate the future of the game's existence for a very large piece since it may keep people from playing and so it squeezes the number of active players until lethal to the game. And that's where the game lacks sympathy of some kind today.
Am I against piracy? Certainly not, but I do am aware that it must remain within the limits for the game to ensure it's future existence. And that's all I want to point out here, I hope you are with me.
So, keep up the initatives and at the same time give non PVP-players a chance from time-to-time. It's allways nice to have some communication before or after an attack to see if there can be agreements on the loot! that way both parties can make the best out of it. ... so not like you did to me near Boston hehe.
That actually is false I was never set up by nellamus and I do not hate pirates in fact I agree with you that pirates are a huge part of the game and you will never hear me complain that there are too many pirates because it means that the game is flourishing.
The reason people are ripping nellamus over his event is because it's an "event" that people can't participate in. I mean in his game he can pirate how he wants he can hide pegasus feather he can you usevspotter alts and all that cool stuff that's his game that's his prerogative. But if hes doing an event then he should make an event where people can participate in it not just sit at a dock and do nothing that's not an event that's just a way to boost your ego.
I suggested to him an event that he didn't even have to pay out one billion it had been something cheap and small like 25 or even 50 million. The only difference would have been it would not have had pegasus feather dock sitting and all that crap so people can ACTUALLY participate in it he refused...
Imagine if I've made an event 100 billion ducats if you catch and sink me but then I just sit in Seville and just talk crap all day about how I'm so smart but never leave dock and nobody can catc me. If you have an event where nobody can engage you to actually attack you or put you in any danger then to me it sounds like you NEVER intended to pay out and you wanted an event with no danger just the boost your ego which is really wack and doesn't help anyone and I don't care for anyone wants to suck Nellemus off or are too scared to tell him the truth but Im telling him if you make an event that people can't participate in youre doing it for YOU NOT the community. I'm sorry if youre sitting at a dock if youre winging away you're hiding like a coward you did it for yourself not for the community so if there's any other pirates that would do a REAL event where you can actually engage and fight the person then go for it but these ego boost events are whack and don't help the community
Can you imagine if EVERYBODY got a chance to fight Nellemus? Win or lose...theyd say wow those were great fights, wow haven't had this much action in a while, thanks man cant wait for the next event! That was FUN
Im just saying people more scared about LOSING than actually doing a good event that would have tons of participation...
@CPC and that's the irony, since uwc gear is not plunderable and noto is so easy to get. There really is no reason to be avoiding fights if you call out for them. If it was just regulat circumstances then sure run away, but don't call for a fight then not follow through.
@katanauwo he can't have an unlimited supply of those. Is there a way to farn feathers in the game? Of course you could just use ssbt and wind of return to follow until he runs ot.
Yes, feathers are plunderable in Black Sea. It is rather easy to plunder those feathers because NPC are those galleys carrying 200+ crew.
And he does not need many. Most of the time nelle traps other respondents in 2v1 situation with his alt. And in rare case it was a 1v2 he would try sailing out, or if failed he would feather away.
What he exploits is the setting that a person being meleed cannot surge herself (which I think should be instead allowed, but let koei sort this out)
I've never been attacked by him and have only ever had the one fight against him. I do however enjoy the chase when hunting pirates even if pirates don't enjoy me coming after them. hehe
This game needs BH, and I mean BH who will hunt, not ones who will trashtalk...
Welcome to fun part of UWO.
If you think for yourself that you are good at PVP, if you think that you are smart, if you wanna prove yourself in BH, if you wanna do something and not just sit Seville trashtalk come, go out on seas hunt me, get $$.
In order to attract more Bounty hunters to be active in this game and to make this game more interesting and fun I made this again.
As reminder I had this bounty hunter reward on old server too, when I was goin for 100k notoriety for 2nd time. No one got me than.
For Papaya server - First player who kill me in seas and Tag me!!! (I need be tagged and he need sunk me for it(not my fleet admiral or something else) will receive 1 Billion in cash.
To accept kill we need valid screenshoot with date and posted both here and in my capt logs.
IMPORTANT THIS REWARD IS ISSUED TO PLAYER WHO TAGG+KILL Nellemus , 'Nellemus' is not included.
Also this dont count for BC, ESF, EPF or arranged fights events.
P.s. Please dont trash talk here no reason, if you wanna prove something prove it on seas.
p.s. For all those who will QQ - like you are fast, you escape, you use pegasus feathers. Its just proof how pathetic BH-ers are they and that they only can qq and trash talk.
If I am fast-its part of game If I escape fights - its part of game, its me trying survive If I use pegasus feathers - its part of game, same like most of you use blue flags, ESBT, Liner tickets etc.
There are no excuses either get me or QQ.
Enjoy and have fun. This is great game. It is reason lot of us are here for 8+ years...
funny enough i sill have you registered from last time. After our last battle (which we didn't get to resolve) i took a hiatus from hunting to work on various skills before the buff ended but then you ended your event. Soooo, i guess you'll be seeing me sometime very soon so we can settle our 'unfinished business' hehe...
@Katanauwo who said that "What he exploits is the setting that a person being meleed cannot surge herself (which I think should be instead allowed, but let koei sort this out)"
What do you mean by "the person being meleed cannot surge herself"? Maybe some players don't know how to surge themselved in melee. Explain your humanly-devised reasoning.
Wow you can't even follow you own rules! You said until feb 1st, today is jan 31st. Feb 1 means up to and including that day. It's obvious you afraid of getting sunk so you "quit while you're ahead"

During the fight he ran out of ammo and being a 'good sport' l wanted to give him a fighting chance. But instead of rearming and continuing the fight he just logged out.

Nothing wrong with a good fair fight. Battle it out!

Yours,
Flo!
I don't have time to waste chasing cowards all over the world,
After this many years he is still performing this stunt.
And when he could not get number advantage, he would feather away. This is just his narcissistic stunt to feed his own ego.
And he does not need many. Most of the time nelle traps other respondents in 2v1 situation with his alt. And in rare case it was a 1v2 he would try sailing out, or if failed he would feather away.
