War Declaration accepted

[Gentle]

To all corsairs:
From: Gentle - Pirate King of the OPG and Elder of the Council of Corsairs.

Hermanos. I thank all of the corsairs for their messages of support for the decision to take to task the traitos in our midst. It saddens me that offers of a diplomatic resoltion were at ALL stages dismissed by the HAF whos ignorance is testament to their inability to be a part of our culture, warfare and ideology. Please accept my gratitude for the offers of help in defending our homeworld in this unsettled time and be assured that we were strong against those who oppose our way of life before these 'HAF' turned up. Consider that nothing has actually been removed from our defensive arrangement since the HAF added no value anyway.

It is apparaent from their limited communication ability that they still hold OPG solely responsible fro their state of affairs which once again shows their disregard and lack of understanding for the council as a whole. it was a joint decision by the council to take this action. If OPG are to be the scapegoats for the HAF then so be it we have very very broad shoulders.

I would reiterate that If HAF wish to remain corsairs they will DISBAND with immediate effect and return to corsair life as independant corsairs and attach themselves to factions while they become familiar with our customs and beleifs and our way of life. i doubt they will listen to the wishes of the corsairs who have defended crete for so many years. Their arrogance is even more legendary than my own. Unlike me however it is the only thing they seem to be notable for and I do occasionally listen.

Be not concerned by the howling wolves who sing their stupid songs in this communication. The likes of the outcasts and bounty hunters will be dealt with as usual by the loyal forces who have always defended our home. Regardless of the status of the HAF.

Gentle.
