      I mean one of those, according to Grey, leads to the other in 4/5 scenarios. The weight those scenarios are in question, maybe you are confident that you can take on the pirates because you have more real guns, maybe you are looking at the first chance to jump ship to join the pirates. Maybe you are delusional enough to fight more often than surrender when you have a weaker crew.

    @Sewblon 2 года назад +44

    What I took from this and the quartermaster's edition is that the imperial and merchant ship crews do not own their ship's cargo. So they have no built in incentive to defend it. But the pirates get to keep the booty that they steal. So they have a built in incentive to go after it. But the pirates don't have many ports to go to for repairs or surgeons to go to when they get hurt. So they have a built in disincentive to actually fight for their plunder. So peaceful surrender is the dominant strategy, unless the empire and the investors impose pretty stiff penalties on people who surrender and/or great rewards on those who choose to fight the pirates. Rewards are costly. So penalties are going to be the dominant strategy for the empire "Defend my cargo or be hung once we get back to port." But private investors don't have the authority to issue criminal punishments. So you would expect them to give greater monetary incentives to fight, because all they can do if you surrender is fire you.

    The pirate captain method of 'rules' Grey mentions were most often used by a pirate named Edward Low who was notorious for savagely torturing his victims, sometimes for fun, and was considered one of the most bloodthirsty pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy. Each pirate crew drew up their own version of the rules amongst thenselves before setting sail, but a lot of the 'rules' were very similar in general.

Piracy these days is considered a crime against all of civilization, and some nations claim the authority to prosecute any act of piracy on the high seas. Even back in the "golden age," being captured more or less meant hanging for the amusement of the locals.

      @@yi8036 While the UK certainly had many, many capital crimes on the books, it seems that the death penalty wasn't actually carried out as often as that suggests. For example, from 1770-1830 only about 20% of the 35,000 death sentences handed down were actually executed. But even after significant capital punishment reform began in the 1830s, "piracy with violence" (which was written such that just about any forceful act of piracy could count) remained a capital offense. In fact, it was tied with treason as the last civilian capital offense in the UK to have its penalty reduced to life imprisonment.

      @@jdotoz I think the question id like to ask is why so few of those death sentences were executed, because my guess runs a lot closer to "died in prison from bad conditions first" than anyone being released. And of course piracy is a crime against nations. Pirates were nationless. Privateers were mercinaries, controlable, but pirates were not. Not saying piracy was GOOD, but it's... A pretty understandable alternative when you look at the options sometimes.

      When a dictator is coming up against, let us say, the conclusion of his term of office, it might be best all around if he has the option to embezzle a modest but comfortable retirement fund and retire somewhere scenic in the French countryside. Some will always drag things out until they've done the full Mussolini, but an alternative to a short drop with a sudden stop gives an incentive not to drag out the violence into the "to the last bullet" stage of the fighting.

      that doesnt sound very wise, cause then you end up deserting and joining the enemy because you fear them less
