That would not be a bad idea Skirata if we got on better than we do.
But to be fair we all excel with our own crews, each one gelling and sailing with its own techniques and skill set. Events are not about splitting crew unity, nor about creating elite pirates via the use of streamline communications over people who effectively have non, its a fun event that shouldn't cause this much grief.
I guess this is giving those who dont svs as regular as the svs guilds a sense of the divide we have here and if we cannot agree on a common mode of communication - and I strongly suggest that it IS the method as provided to us IN GAME by Disney then the events put on WILL NOT be fair and WILL NOT be supported by all, causing fractions in the BRETHREN.

When Davy Burnrat put his question to the court on wednesday night it was a valid question and remains unresolved.

In this case I too, coming from the perspective of the 'under dog' sought the reassurance from the court with regard to an issue which is right there in the protocol and rules of Disney as a big 'no no' so why this is even considered ok in ANY event is beyond me.
BUT
As a court we have to decide on whether its fair for those of us who are not prepared to break with Disney rules and protocol (whether that be for security reasons or for moral reasons) to be OBLIGED to, in order to keep up in these events add a talk programme, which as Roxanna has pointed out is entered into at our own risks.

Even in Eva jewel's post she points out that you CAN BE BANNED but has chosen to disregard the information as she is reassured by operator and superviser that no one has been banned for doing it, this is flouting the good nature of Disney with regard to a rule which was confirmed. I am not going to flout any such rule.


The SVS Team event in NO WAY reflected how we sail normally in svs. In real pirate times a captain was NOT isolated from communicating with his crew: nor in the DISNEY game Pirates Of The Caribbean are we expected to not have crew talk. But the very fact that we were on tuesday night throws light on an issue that DOES need to be addressed.
Or it will jeopardise the integrity of the unity in the Brethren Court.

That is not to say that this issue cannot be overcome, I know it can but I can assure you there will be others, question is will the non svs guilds be as dedicated to talking through these issues before they get bored and stop attending the court sessions, I for one would hate to see that happen but with constant unrest like this - and I really do feel we walked STRAIGHT into this one I wouldnt blame anyone for saying this is getting to be too regular a theme in the court and bowing out.
All bickering aside, I think we can be sure to look upon one thing as a positive from this, this fact is out in the open now and we can as a the Brethren Court and as SVSers see what we are facing day to day and address common concerns.

I hope for swift resolve.
