That Piracy Thing I've Mumbled About - Ayzek - 12-08-2017
Timeline of (relevant) things that happened:
INDEED. Rather than just saying "there's pirates there, let's go fuk 'em up", I've given them a FACE. The piracy is only part of the problem/a symptom though, the result of a-totally-not-a-civil-war in Gable.
Rewaka swears the situation is under control and is refusing foreign assistance, but its obvious it's not and there's reports of more atrocities that may or may not be genocide, but whatever it is we should definitely not it genocide because genocide is a strong word that may or may not demand that we do something about it. But Rewaka is definitely not behind it, for realsies.
What are we actually RPing, you ask?
Anti-piracy operations are a cover for Lanlanian imperialism elsewhere in the world. Mainly, our navies actually going out and doing something. I don't know (or really care about, frankly) about your guy's navies, but the HLE is trying to get into the swing of exercising its and asserting key concept it cares about (laws of the sea, in this case). I suppose participating would give you nerds something to do, even if it's only slapping around poor people with AKs and RPGs on rotting motorboats and rusting fishing trawlers (why do you hate poor people?).
Additionally, we may discuss doing something about Gable. Its president doesn't want us to, but the country and people are not a good shape.
Also, I will be doing something with an island elsewhere in the world, but that's not relevant here.

Gable is not a decent name.

Do you distinguish between true piracy and mercenary type privateering?
RE: That Piracy Thing I've Mumbled About - Ayzek - 12-09-2017
Short answer: I am 100% certain your privateers are pirates if they're attacking a vessel flying the flag of a state your privateers' flag state isn't at war with.
Longer answer: If your mercenaries engage in privateering while flying the flag of and being registered in Taeunas, Taeunas is waging war on the victim state. If your mercenaries engage in privateering flying the flag of and are registered in the hiring state, then that state is waging war on the victim state. If your mercenaries are flying no flag and are not registered in any state, they are not protected under international law and may legally be boarded, searched, and seized and/or sunk by any state.
If there's a in-game history of mysterious ships doing that last one, there's problems systems in place to combat funny business (eg., the no-flag state deciding to fly a flag it's not registered under when approached by a navy ship).
The best, legally way for the red branch to operate would be to register under the hiring state and fly its flag while on a contract. So long as they're flying a flag and following international law (eg., attack only vessels their flag state is at war with), they wouldn't run into any problems.

Singan would participate in this anti-piracy operation, assuming that would be cool. The area is a major concern for Singan considering trade routes >_>
