The Plunder Board and being plundered

To all my fellow plunderer's, nobles, the traders, and the rest you lubbers. When your ship appears in the sights of any ambitious plunderer, prepare to be plundered. Unless you possess a written agreement with those plundering you, you have no cause to complain. A secret deal means nothing, a wink and handshake will not save you, as I live on the plunder board, so am I plundered. Either accept the risks or be a peaceful trainer. See you around.
