If you're looking for feedback on your work, the best thing to do is to post your work directly in the forum, as you have -- but before submitting. That way you can respond to any feedback easily.

For requesting votes, the place to go is this thread.

I've repurposed this thread as a starting point for all your flags and sails you'd like feedback on, not just this one.

That is indeed the correct thread for appeals. Please follow the directions in the first post, and request review of your rejected designs there.

As this isn't an appeal for a rejected flag but (I think?) a request for feedback on a new, revised submission, I've moved it out of the Appeals thread.

What I'd really like to do is come up with a way to get pirates involved in every port battle, regardless of who the attacker and defender are. I can think of some trivial ways to do that, but they don't have the 'jackals waiting to pull down the weaker combatant' visceral feel I'd like to get from this.

We're talking about a more explicit, unavoidable decay towards map victory currently. I'll let you know when we've made some decisions.

We will be making some configuration changes during Friday’s 1:30a – 3:30a PST maintenance window. Changes include the following:

1) The addition of special celebration goodies (more information on that come Friday afternoon)
2) Minor adjustments to starting conquest point values to fix a bug we created in Beta
3) It will be more difficult to push starting ports into contention than other ports

We will share additional information as we move closer to the Friday morning maintenance window.

Best,
Aether

You can attach client logs with the manage attachments button on the reply page. My initial guess is that you have a sound crash that we're looking into. Turn your sound all the way down to zero and see if this helps.

Details on how and where to get log files is in this post: http://www.burningsea.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9456

Ah. Let me point out that we don't think the system as it is working how we'd like. Risk/Reward is one aspect of that which we're addressing in 1.2.

I'm sorry I read your initial post wrong - yeah for potbsupdate.exe you will need to go to the support site from here: http://www.gamearena.com.au/pirates/

So you checked and there are no client logs? Even if the game is crashing on startup it tends to get to the point where it will create a log.

When you get the application error what is the faulting application and what is the fault bucket?
