Pirate title vs reputation

Pirates lie and deceive. I feel a title that says they are a liar would prevent that pirate from being able to lie or deceive. There are stories from pirates in the past flying friendly flags until they got close enough to rob them. That wouldn’t have worked in real life if they had the word liar written all over them.

They game is about decisions you make. Word of advice never trust anyone and set rules. Always be keeping an eye on everybody and everything. Never let anyone get to close. If you accept their friendliness and let them come up to you With a keg that is a you problem. I’m assuming you trusted the wrong person and got sank.

I like this idea. It has a Dark souls-esce feel with how "helpful hints" would be posted and then voted. Like I really like this idea. I do feel it should be unlocked only if you are a pirate legend or some type of threshold. This way the title makes some sense unless you are thinking of just doing one word type titles. This is a great community idea and brings out the fact you depend on the SoT's community to play and live this game.

@grezar777 people shouldn’t need hints in this game. Make a decision of character use your gut instinct. Then don’t trust anyone. After that decision is made keep an eye on them. Anytime someone says they are friendly I still keep my distance.

Another issue is people shouldn’t be able to decide your title. Anytime people have an option at a survey they never feel the need unless they are unhappy. Most titles would be based off of anger.

I can’t remember the saying it goes something like “keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer”

I want mine to read Blind swashbuckler.

@doctorfork it’s a game called sea of thieves based around pirating. You need a title on a player to tell you that? pirates do have reputations. I’m sure the name summit and pace may ring a bell. Giving someone an unchangeable title damns them to play the game that style for life. A tattoo or a mark would be a better idea cuz u can hide it. The name of the pirate was infamous not the appearance. So you get a million votes saying ur a liar. You have to get a million good votes for Neutral or it resets? Just like fast food restaurants people don’t take the survey when they have a good experience they expect it. People are mainly going to vote out of anger and get bad titles like liar. And then you got people who will give you bad titles on purpose. Because you don’t trust people and are afraid to take chances you want titles to say if you should trust them or not.

@doctorfork I edited my last post to include the game is a pirate game called sea of thieves. You need a title to tell you that? Make good judgment and let your skill do the talking. If it gets to a point where you get tricked cuz someone lied then learn from it and don’t let it happen again. Also the higher hopes you have I can’t tell you how many people in this game I’ve killed whether I went after them or they came at me called me a cheater, hacker, and spammed my inbox with vulgar language. You can’t judge people by 1 session encounter. Some days I fish, some days I help new players out, other I sink ships. I have even snuck on ships and forced my treasure on them. And then the one time you decide to sink someone and take their treasure they call you a griefer.

This wouldnt help me old son, at the minute it says pirate legend above my head..... now the reason it says that is cos i put it there.... now the reason i put it there was in the hope that any potential enemies would take a butchers at it and think 'art a c##k linnet, this fellas experienced, best be careful'.... now the reason i want them to think that is because if i had a truthful statement above my head it would probably read ' this bloke is on an athena and hes really rubbish at pvp so rob him blind!!!'...... i hope that conveys what im trying to say accordingly.

@nikjw thanks for the laugh enjoyed the comment
