The Pathfinder Truce

    I noticed a sloop sailing towards Golden Sands last night. It appeared that the captain didn't know they were being followed because the sail was not set to full billow, and I was gaining fast. The plan was to sneak up & ambush because, pirate stuff. He saw me & turned to fight.

    As we prepared to cross paths for a broadside, I noticed he had the Noble Pathfinder sail like me. I guess he noticed too because he yelled out "Pathfinder truce!"

    No shots were fired.

    We both anchored and spent some time playing music, drinking grog, swapped supplies & sailed off in different directions.

    @oneeyed-w1lliam Awesome story! And proof once again that the most versitile tool we have on the seas is communication!

    Ahh yes, if more encounters like this existed.

    Agreed. They have been quite uncommon as of late. Perhaps these few encounters may serve as inspiration to many new pirates who have joined us. :)

    Indeed it is.

    I like it if things turn out this way, even when you have fought and then someone yells over parlay and people stop fighting for whatever reason and raise the tankard, play a Song and dance together.

    PvP is important, socialisation and beeing friendly is also!
    We need a good balance in the Sea of Thieves of competition and socialisation.
    When things are obvious, no matter of everyone friendly/passive or everyone hostile and SoS (shoot/sink on sight) then there is no unpredictability and uncertainty about other players anymore.
    And that would be bad.
    I like it if things can change, no matter if in the heat of a battle or someone suddenly attacking his alliance and betraying.
    All aspects are good to have.
