Fighting is RP, If someone is exploiting and not letting their ships get sunk tell Guru or Me. 
If you have any questions ask in the RP control center and someone will respond, don't post here or I'll tell the staff to remove your post so that all can see the rules, we can change rules any time, we just need to agree on it, Leaders of Nations will post their HQ's on the islands shown, go to planning topic so we can figure who is heads of those nations. 

And don't forget the pirates, they start out with a man o war, fully loaded and equipped, they can steal cargo, hold ransoms and look for treasure, I hope you all will Love this RP, Guru is our Rep, ask him anything and He can help. Enjoy!
