woe is me!

I have just spent the last two nights trying to get back home after using all my torps, successfully sinking a medium merchant, and then evading the swarm of destroyers intent on paying me back. At last! I thought, I have DONE it; racked up a kill, me and the crew are on our way UP!.

Hmm, coming out of the game tonight, it caught my notice that the ship I sunk, is a neutral,

Does that mean I will not get ANY sort of renown for the kill, and that we will be sneered at, have backs turned on us, and laughed out of port? Oh, the disappointment, the shame, humiliation; what a dumbkopf I am. No wonder the crew stop talking and look away when I come by. I may as well end it all and start all over again on rowing boats - that's all I am good for

Heheehee. I once in my haste sank a whole convoy of neutral tankers. Needless, to say the German ambassador in Brazil got a good dressing down that night.

Yup, they don't count toward renown. I think it negatively impacts it.

Yup, negative renown. Ergo - the BdU will take some of your hard earned points back.

She-Wolf · 03-04-07, 03:52 PM

oh fish hooks! That's it then, I am going to shoot me and start again. Hmph grumble grumble grumble......

Yep, it's worse than none; you will LOSE renown, and be publicly reprimanded. Your fellow Kaleuns, however, will console you with "Don't worry, it happens to the best of us."

The bad news is, they will probably continue with "You know, if you'd like to talk about it, I know a place..."

She-Wolf · 03-04-07, 04:44 PM

well.. start agin. Wiser next time

bigboywooly · 03-04-07, 04:48 PM

No need to start again Gracie

Uncle Karl wont hold it against you
Your crew have experience now and its a shame to can them because of 1 neutral

Wait till you sink a couple of your own

Then its time to hide
