I started the night in Matthew Town, talking to the Harbor Master about my recently acquired ‘Arcadia’ Mastercraft Xebec. We were comparing the qualities of the Huge xebec with those of the smaller ‘Algiers’ Refit Polacre I’d been sailing for the last week or so. Sailing alone through the red, my inexperience cost me time and time again as I was forced repeatedly to disengage and retreat from fights that, based on everything I’ve seen and read so far, I should have been able to win. The only good point had been that most times I was able to break off from the fight and escape with my ship and its fittings intact. Other times, though… not so much.

But I belong to the Nine Winds. A pirate society that is populated with experienced, knowledgeable captains, quite a few of whom are well-known and respected PvPers on the Antigua server. One of our leaders, Captain Charissa de Mornay, is so feared that after having fallen asleep at the keyboard in the middle of a PvP zone, her ‘Mediator’ Mastercraft Cutter sat for nearly three hours unmolested by enemies who know just how dangerous she can be and likely assumed that she was playing possum.
