267 SubTender_Taigei Members 553 posts 8,586 battles Report post #5 Posted September 19, 2016 I believe that the reason why the flag is red and white is because 2 black and white pirate flags already exist in the game, and some diversity goes a long way in this community. No need to have 3 similar flags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,361 [REVY] Royeaux Members 9,649 posts 7,316 battles Report post #7 Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) The red flag flown by naval vessels in wartime meant a fight to the finish. Among pirates, flying a red flag signaled "no quarter" to any ship’s crew that resisted, but guaranteed the safety of all aboard if the ship surrendered without a fight. Some pirates in the 18th century have flown red variations of the traditional pirate flag, the Jolly Roger. Edited September 19, 2016 by Sventex 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

162 SG_ONeill Alpha Tester 922 posts 5,325 battles Report post #13 Posted September 19, 2016 That flag represents Blackbeard's cousin, Redbeard. He wasn't a successful pirate though because he forced his crew to wear red shirts. Also, credits already counts as booty so it would be redundant to say "booty booty" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

East coasters are too uptight in the way they fasten their jibs mate. The more important question is obviously, "Why is all the rum gone?" More importantly is askin' - why is there no rum keg in the flag? Edited September 19, 2016 by Chain_shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
