Nothing in Piratecraft is "supposed" to be, even fighting. If we would want to give a main point to Piratecraft as server, that would be sailing ships at the least, but not killing.

They see it as a social experiment about the human nature. Can men live togheter without harming each other?

The ggbrother's school, as his military example was called, consisted in infiltrating enemiy bases without being noticed.

HaloBearer was the first test for the Juice Pirates. A test for their buildings, a test for their skills and more importantly, a test for their patriotism and love for their Homesea.

The conflict started the 21st of may when MasterM1214 got killed in his house (he was the only crew member who managed to slowly forge an enchanted armor). HaloBearer98 organized punitive expeditions every day in full enchanted diamond armors with Nasher9898 and the rest of his crew. His explicit aim was to bend the Apple crew. It was a matter of time to see who of the Juice Pirates would stand getting killed, robbed, sieged multiple times per week and who instead would fall to the raiders. Apple did not want softies in his crew. Not a step back, never, ever. Shame and mud to whoever begs for a break. No treaties or agreements with raiders. No half measures. Some Apple players abandoned the server because of the unsustainable pirate life. Those who kept resisting instead, become tough. Tough and tenacious. | ||
Apple was present at almost every siege, to make his comrades feel they were not alone. ggbrother was studying the Defenders "[[Crown Castle]]" which was at the opposite side of the world and the Juice towns were improving their structures against sieges. The crew raised each other's morale and overcame difficult times togheter. The importance of collectivity was understood: a single twig can be easily broken, but a bunch of twigs is very, very difficult to break all togheter. | Apple was present at almost every siege, to make his comrades feel they were not alone. ggbrother was studying the Defenders "[[Crown Castle]]" which was at the opposite side of the world and the Juice towns were improving their structures against sieges.

HaloBearer wanted AppleJK to surrender, but that was not happening. With GriefPrevention, resistance is always possible. The Juice Pirates experience shall be an example to whoever feels too weak to stand the evil. A combination of several events turned the table in favor of Apple. The crew managed to finish some fast underground xp farms in the same period when [[M4RT3S]] joined the crew. He was an experienced classic fighter, a swordsman. He revolutioned the ggbrother school by farming at spawners and forging superarmors. This new (but at the same time old, classic) military approach was the new way to respond to The Defenders oppression, even though the production of armor was extremely slow. | HaloBearer wanted AppleJK to surrender, but that was not happening.

At the same time, HaloBearer98 got publicly issued for retaking under Endorien control the historical town of Whiteridge. Overwhelmed by problems, he quit the invasion and removed the rivalry with Apple, then slowly faded out of the server due to personal complications. | ||

In February 2017 the captain, AppleJK, mysteriously disappeared. The crew managed at first to advance in its building projects, but issues regarding friendly fire and killing between crewmates were creating high tension and continuous debates. MarcoHero, Batteria_ and francociccio tried to manage the situation with an iron fist. The crew needed guidelines and firm decisions, like Apple used to do. The future was not certain and several people were beginning to prefer external individual bases instead of town communities. After two months of turmoil and indecision, a fraction of the Juice Pirates left the crew and started its own. <br /> | In February 2017 the captain, AppleJK, mysteriously disappeared.
