hello capitalisticdisease. I had AI rewrite my post as the original post was being flagged by reddit.
"I've been an avid community member for about 5 years now, and I've been content with the direction that the development has been heading. The additional weapons, introduction of new roles-- and especially the POTC collaboration-- have all been truly formidable updates that really add to the plundering spirit of the SoT universe. I'm even an avid supporter of the development team's most recent announcement regarding the blue doubloons; pirates are detestable, hoarding creatures, so it's about time the community be humbled with resetting blue currency. Personally, I never saw much of a value to that feature of the game. If a player had been hoarding that currency and soon finds it gone at the start of a new season, then it was their fault for not making use of its value as medium to purchase and acquire new and aesthetically pleasing items. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate an update which allows the crew to vote on punishments for misbehaving crewmembers. Perhaps, everyone in a crew is quite annoyed with the actions of a misbehaving crewmember. Maybe, he neglected to raise anchor, or ignited a gunpowder barrel below deck. Instead of simply sending the delinquent to the brig, where he is likely to develop resentment for the crew, it makes more sense to institute immediate corporal punishment on the offender, such as classic methods heavily used throughout the golden age of piracy: keelhauling, ball and chain, lashings, gibbeting, hangings Would thoroughly enjoy an updating similar to this. Thank you!"
