Not complainting, do whatever you want. Just took as an example how POB's causes problems and -force- other people to play how you want them to play, which is powergaming. Trusting people not to powertrip is silly, if it can be abused - it will be abused, and only persons to blame is those who created such system to begin with. Failing to recognize how features they implement will be damaging to everyone.
This is not how roleplay should be done. Or any person who's aware of the game environment, not just his own should behave.
And, Jack, I'm fully aware that you didn't build that base to screw pirates over intentionally. But you see, even with good intentions, when system is flawed, problems arises. One cannot expect other to always think of others.
