Damn, some people just don't get the message (Referring to brig)

    I see so many posts on these forum about the brig being abused and too many people complaining on these threads when they get sent there; the brig is being used how it is meant to be used, as a way to tell someone to GET OFF YOUR SHIP. I'm going to assume that if you're locked in the brig for "No reason" the crew you joined probably doesn't want you on their boat, and for a good reason; they could be waiting for one of their friends to join or they could be trying to get a higher ranked player, maybe even, they don't want YOU to get the loot that THEY earned Cough Cough the person I met two nights ago. There's no need to complain when you get put in the brig, it's not going to change anything, especially when that crew sends you multiple messages asking you to leave, again cough cough the person I met two nights ago. By staying in the brig to "Prove a point" what you're really doing is inhibiting the crew you're on to receive another helpful player or perhaps let the friend who's been waiting for half an hour to join their lobby, for the final time cough cough the person I met two nights ago. So until they come out with an option to set your crew to invite only, don't act surprised if you're put in the brig when you're solo-queuing; you're unwanted, unnecessary and being a waste of space.

    BOTTOM LINE: If you're put into the brig, you've been put there because that crew doesn't want you on their ship.

    Have a good day/night :)

    In response to the above:

    If someone brigs you without talking to you first, just sit in the brig. Play music. You still share equal parts of the loot. Eventually they will quit. <3

    @platypuserotica Sigh I don't think you're understanding what I'm getting at: if someone puts you in the brig, they want you to leave; by staying in the brig you're just being a pest.

    @Spunkus-Skunkus Oh no I get what you are talking about entirely. I am simply offering a different point of view. If someone brigs me without so much as attempting to talk to me, why the hell should I be courteous to them? If you ask me politely to leave as you have a friend joining, I graciously will do so. If you immediately brig me, I will haunt you till you server hop.

    @spunkus-skunkus This is embarrassing but I thought you and @PlatypusErotica were the same person for the longest time. This thread just blew my mind.

    Nah, I don’t think you’re getting it. If you’re going to be rude enough to bring somebody who just turned up without talking to them first, then they’re entitled to sit and wait until you do so.

    Use your words.

    @platypuserotica Well then my quarrel is not with you; I thank you for being chivalrous to the people who have a legitimate reason for wanting you to leave. If someone is being rude then you shouldn't be courteous to them, but if they're being kind and respectfully asking you to leave then I feel as if it's players' obligation to find another crew.

    @spunkus-skunkus hmmm but it all it takes is a polite meassge, too many people are rude AF and they brigg them straight away which is harsh in my eyes.

    Pretty much this. Send me to the Brig? Fine, I will play music and let YOU do all the hard work and still earn cash being AFK!

    That I can join your ship while you wait for a 4th really aint my problem, its the developers.

    @spunkus-skunkus Oh absolutely. Courtesy would require saying "Hey, this is why we want you to leave." rather than throwing them in the brig. As Hannibal referred to them, "free range rude" is my diet.

    @spunkus-skunkus I've been put in the brig (in the first minute of the game), this guy threw me vomit THEN asked me to leave (by PM). I saw that they had treasures so I replied something along "sure I'll leave but I'll take that gold first".
    So mighty briggers of the sea, be nice, kindly ask to leave before putting in the brig and everything will be fine, otherwise you'll pay for me for to leave.

    Funny I think the same about your thinking mate :-)

  • kierynhigh

    @spunkus-skunkus This overlooks the simple fact that every player on a ship has the same right to be there. You cant choose which team you randomly spawn into. If somebody says "hey, my friend accidentally disconnect or is trying to join can you leave?" I'll leave I don't want to be where I'm not wanted. On the other hand if you brig me as I spawn into the game unsure of the situation yeah I'm staying and collecting all the rewards satisfied that someone who was too rude to even talk to me first is doing the work.

    @platypuserotica excalty if they are polite i will leave. I had one little [Mod Edited] send me a message saying....leave now i have your IP and i'll DDOS you ...me? i stay there an hour out of spite lol

    I think this is more a miscommunication rather than a disagreement. Spunkus has agreed that if people are rude and I believe most people would consider insta-brigging rude, that you have every right to sit in the brig.

    However if they ask you politely to leave and explain why, common courtesy would suggest you assent.

    If I have misunderstood Spunkus' meaning, I apologize.

    Earlier today I was brigged instantly. I sat in there till they all left the server. If you can't talk, type. If you can't type, use gestures. TRY to communicate and I will be courteous and polite. Brig me instantly, I'll sit in your brig and enjoy your loot and companionship.

    How about you gather your crew before you spawn onto a boat so you don’t have to be a tool to single players looking for a game

  • kierynhigh

    @platypuserotica I agree with this but I also feel like it is not their fault they happened to beat your friend to a game. I think the true polite thing to do would be for the other people to leave the game and invite their friend because they should understand that you have the same right to play that they do.

  • PlatypusErotica
    Founder

    @kierynhigh True, but if I join a crew that has three people, it is less inconvenient for me to leave than to force them to do so to join their friend. While it is not my fault that I was randomly joined to their game and it is not strictly my responsibility to fix that, at the end of the day I just prefer to be the nice guy and back out. IF they are courteous. :)

  • Goblobsters

    I have left everytime anyone has asked to make room for a mate. But if some jerk just brigs me i am going to stay in there and play music in game and through my mic until the log out.

    Being polite is a chore but its free. If someone wants to be rude thats fine, I like being rude too.

    @Spunkus-Skunkus This happened to me about 8 times yesterday joined a crew got put in the brig I was talking to them asking why? even used text chat in case they didn't have mic's and got no reply so I just went and made a coffee......till they left then I left.

    The Brig is not to be used as a reserved slot! their is a maga (griefing) thread that states that this is abusing a game mechanic and is not what the brig was attended for and could be considered griefing which is a bannable offence.

    For the record only 1 crew I joined out of the 8 nicely asked me to leave and I did! the others used the brig and silence which is rude!

  • Kashaarafall

    @spunkus-skunkus So the person who joined to the play the game, that got no say so because of a voting to prison system is rude because they joined and ended up on the same ship as a bunch of kids or immature adults? You know, it is a bit easier to say "We're waiting for someone, could you please leave?" It works! Trust me. When you put someone in prison without so much as saying hello first and proceed to bombard them with insults or serenade them with the music of the seas. Well, then why wouldn't they stay?

  • kierynhigh

    @platypuserotica Again I would do the same thing. It's less of an inconvenience for them but not for me. If it's not my responsibility to fix the problem and its also not theirs. (This we agree on.) Then the next step is it is their responsibility to figure out how to play with their friend. I know we are on the same page and probably both agree that they need to have some way to do friends only crew options but I don't see it being fair to feel that you own some ship that anyone can spawn into.

  • PlatypusErotica
    Founder

    @kierynhigh Absolutely on the same page. They have said that they are working on 'private' crews, so you could have a friends only Galleon for instance, but that it did not make it in for launch. I suspect it will be one of the first updates. :)

    Actually, when the brig feature was first implemented back in the alpha it was to prevent people from trolling your crew. Examples of this being, dropping anchor for no reason, firing off all your cannonballs just because they can, throwing treasure off your boat, all just to impede your journey. It had nothing to do with not wanting to have someone on your boat.

    @spunkus-skunkus sagte in Damn, some people just don't get the message (Referring to brig):

    It´s NOT!!!!
    The brig is brought into the game for people who grief you like throwing your treasures into the water or sailing into rocks on purpose, etc.

    You´re clearly ABUSING this mechanic and should be reported for it, since it´s clearly griefplay!

    If you want someone to leave because you´re waiting on a friend, just be polite and ask them. I´m 100% sure that most people will leave and wish you a good journey.

    If you keep brigging without a single nice message, you deserve all the people who stay there and block the slot against your friend and collect his share of your loot.

    What your saying about the reason for the brig is completely wrong. It's the people that hop in your crew throw your chests or whatever else you have off the boat, wreck the ship whenever possible or consistently drop the anchor. If your gonna wait for a friend then wait for them. Don't put people in the brig without even saying a word to them. They spent time waiting to join the game and if you do this to them your just wasting their time. Think about the person in the brig. How do they feel about being thrown in that box with no explanation or anything? It's happened to me numerous times. Not once was I given a reason before being sent there. Only once out of probably 50 or more times it's happened has anyone even gave a reason afterwards. So all in all your the one that didn't get the message. By doing this you are breaking the pirate code and should be punished. Don't start a game til your actually ready.

  • Genral Disaray

    As soon as Rare add the private slot feature the brigg will cease getting abused (in most part). It's not meant for forcing a player to leave a game! It's there for ingame punishment against people that troll etc.

    @spunkus-skunkus No need to be a [Mod Edited] about it. The game is an online pvp game so if people get salty because you're on their ship then [Mod Edited] what they say. It's a game you bunch of [Mod Edited]. Don't like it? Don't play the game then. SIMPLE! Plus I've had better games with randm people than I have my own friends so just stop being a [Mod Edited] and play the game
