When the feature becomes available (if it does) to allow advertising in the taverns and for payments to be transferred, I will be asking lower prices for my services. Since I have to take or use payment at the time of deal making, I will specify which voodoo cards to use and on which of my ships and fleets to use them. My prices are fair for the results that I can deliver. A more worthy cause or one that will give me the highest reward with the lowest risk will cost you less. I will only take missions that I believe in. Keep in mind that revenge and vengeance are somewhat different in purpose and intensity. I will not willingly pursue revenge but I will exact vengeance on your behalf. Before I accept your mission, I must verify that it is justified. If you claim to have been bullied, be ready for me to prove or disprove your claim. If you attempt to employ my services under false pretenses, it will come back to haunt you.

Or in other words, self righteous, noble, blah, blah Witch Doictor for hire?

I think I'll hire you guys..

Feel kinda bad you two aren't getting any business

What makes you think I would use negative voodoo on anyone? Well, I guess I would but as it happens, I actually have something to lose by taking action unlike a certain Witch Doctor that we all know. I have fleets and therefore vulnerabilities. I do have a certain code of ethics. Self righteous? Maybe. Let me look up the definition.


self-righteous
self-right·eous [self-rahy-chuhs, self-]
adjective

confident of one's own righteousness, especially when smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others.

Wow! You nailed it spot-on. I am an extreme example of this and not ashamed at all. It's right to be right not just to think you are. That is why I am willing to point out my flaws and mistakes. This trait is neither.

I will leave special titles for others, Witch Doctor.

The rare voodoo I seek is not destructive in nature.

An all out brawl between the mercenary, the witch doctor, and the noble privateer. Who will come out on top in this new, but risky business? Next time on HIRED GUNS- SHOWDOWN

I can answer that. None would win. I could more easily defeat an entire guild than do enough damage to the Witch Doctor to make such a mission worth taking. I would be the biggest loser because I have the most to lose and fame is the least of my concerns. I don't even try for the leader board.

I hope that all players and guilds feel that things are going as they should and will not need to call on me. The only reason I am willing to help is to defend or avenge the weak from the mighty. Part of my efforts will be counseling the parties on how to interact. Even a pirate should understand that if a merchant makes no progress, he will stop being a good source of gold, fame, and ships for the pirate. There are responsibilities on both sides. A demonstration may be used to get through to one who will not listen to reason. I have had great success in solving disputes in the past. I have also taken great losses to reach the proper ending. I measure my successes by the amount of tension removed in the relationship between conflicting parties, not by what tangible items I gain or lose from the efforts.

Note:
This is not directed at any one player.

Play with honor, even if you are a pirate. You're just doing your "job" so why are they all calling you a bad guy? If you need to be taught the answer then I will "instruct" you.
