Pirate Treason Meeeeyyyyhuuuhhh

It was a dark stormy night, rain lashing down, waves crashing against the ship as it bobbed around in the sea. Voices, the sound of a gunshot and a splash were heard. A sudden crack of thunder lit up the scene, the face of the person on the ship was visible. DrSyrrist was holding his still smoking musket as the body fell from the plank and hit the water. As the waves rolled towards me I saw the body, it was SexyTyzzan and he had been brutally murdered by his own crew. Was this an act of treason he was killed for? I decided to head to port to ask around, to uncover the truth.

My investigation started in the place known as the Game Forum, it was quiet. I guess nobody had heard the news yet. Whispers started, people were giving their respectful RIPs for Tyzzan. One of the pirates, a so-called Gentleman of Fortune, made a comment. It was at this time I was visited by an apparition, a ghost. Tyzzan had returned! He spoke at length to me and told me all about his death at the hands of his own people.

The story starts a couple of weeks ago when GCC from The Legends took back California Bullet Factory, he needed a crew to look after this property so approached Tyzzan for assistance. Tyzzan spoke to his Crew Council and agreed to help, with Gentlemen of Fortune looking after it for GCC with the crew getting bullets as part of the deal and the money going to GCC. Tyzzan then went off sailing and on his return found out that Gentlemen of Fortune had reneged on the deal and GCC had received nothing from them. Tyzzan then spoke to his crew bosses and was accused of caring more about GCC than about his own crew. It soon became clear that GoF were keeping the Bullet Factory as their own property. Because Tyzzan did not agree with this, being a man of honor, he was hardkicked and killed.

It was at this time one of the pirates, namely Blackberry, started getting rather vocal about things verbally attacking any friends of Tyzzan with some of the insults hitting way below the belt, For a crew who are supposedly respected and honorable this actions must have been rather an embaressment. I was expecting them to do what they previously did to Toscy who was hardkicked and killed for making Game Forum comments. But no action was taken, and the onslaught of abuse continued. Eventually the situation was eased by some other crew members, who called Blackberry back to the ship and asked him to calm down and issued apologies for his actions.

I have heard that Gentlemen of Fortune live by a code but it does not appear to include honor. Although backstabbing and killing crewmates, going back on a deal and stealing properties are exactly what I would expect from pirates. I would ask Eternal Labyrinth what they think about this, being a so-called allied crew, but none of them have been seen since Gentlemen of Fortune funded two shooters to wipe them out in order to take control of their Bullet Factories. Ironically, using EL's own bullets to kill them.

And what now? Well Tyzzan was again shot by DrSyrrist after being hitlisted. Will he take revenge for these disrespectful actions? Well, you will just have to wait and see. And as for Gentlemen of Fortune, im sure they have now made many powerful enemies. I look forward to seeing how the crew shapes up now, but I predict stormy weather on the horizon.
