  You are Player?
  I am Maximilian and I will be in charge of this lecture. Let's get started on this lecture right away.
  First of all, "Hostile Waters" and "Safe Waters"
  The seas of the world can be divided into "Hostile Waters" and "Safe Waters".
  You cannot be attacked by other Sailors in "Safe Waters", but there is the danger of attack on "Hostile Waters".
  But of course you can attack other ships in the "Hostile Waters".
  However, in that case your Notoriety will increase, a Bounty will be put on your head, and you will be targeted by other players.

• 9661
• You can attack other Players
  in Hostile Waters.

• 9662
• When you attack and cripple other players' ships
  or receive a tribute from them,
  your Notoriety will increase and a bountry
  will be placed on you.
  Also, your relationship with that player's Country
  of origin will worsen.

• 9663
• Instructor Maximilian
  Entering Hostile Waters causes a warning to be immediately issued.

• 9664
• When you go from safe waters to hostile waters,
  an alert is displayed.

• 9665
• In hostile waters,
  the skull mark is shown on the ocean map.

• 9666
• Instructor Maximilian
  Have you understood what I've told you so far about hostile waters?

• 9667
• How will you respond?

• 9668
• Yes

• 9669
• Could you say that again, please?

• 9670
• Instructor Maximilian
  I see... Very well, let me try again.
  This world is divided into "Safe Waters" and "Hostile Waters".
  In safe waters, you won't be attacked by other Voyagers, but in hostile waters you might be.
  Naturally, in dangerous waters, you'll also be able to attack other ships.
  However, in that case, your Notoriety will increase and a bounty may be placed on your head.

• 9671
• You can attack other Players
  in Hostile Waters.

• 9672
• When you attack and cripple other players' ships
  or receive a tribute from them,
  your Notoriety will increase and a bountry
  will be placed on you.
  Also, your relationship with that player's Country
  of origin will worsen.

• 9673
• Instructor Maximilian
  Entering Hostile Waters causes a warning to be immediately issued.

• 9674
• When you go from safe waters to hostile waters,
  an alert is displayed.

• 9675
• In hostile waters,
  the skull mark is shown on the ocean map.

• 9676
• Instructor Maximilian
  Have you understood what I've told you so far about hostile waters?

• 9677
• How will you respond?

• 9678
• Yes

• 9679
• Could you say that again, please?

• 9680
• Instructor Maximilian
  Excellent, let me move on to the next explanation. It concerns 3 topics: "Vs. battles", "Bounties" and "Tributes"...
  Which one would you like to hear about?

• 9681
• Which do you want to hear about?

• 9682
• Vs. battles

• 9683
• Bounties

• 9684
• Tributes

• 9685
• That's enough.

• 9686
• Instructor Maximilian
  "Vs. Battle", eh...?
  Well, there are two types of Vs. Battle. There are "Mock Battles" and "Real Battles". I'll start by explaining about Mock Battles.
  Mock Battles are battles that are conducted after both parties agree to participate. They can only be conducted in safe waters.
  Just as its name suggests nothing can be gained or lost from participating in a Mock Battle.
  However, Mock Battles are a great way to prepare for sudden attacks on you from unknown enemies or pirates.
  Remember, both parties must agree to begin a Mock Battle. If you want to participate in Mock Battles you should display your Mock Battle acceptance information.

• 9687
• A mock battle is a Vs. battle that can be held
  in Safe Waters. A mock battle can be carried out
  as long as both sides give permission.

• 9688
• To give permission, select "Set Status" from "Community"
  and put a check next to "Allow Mock Battle".

• 9689
• Instructor Maximilian
  "Bounties", eh...?
  A bounty will be put on the head of any Voyager that attacks another Voyager. This will occur whenever a Voyager attacks another Voyager in a Vs. battle and incapacitates a ship.
  In other words bounties show who is a ruffian and who lives by the law. When you have a bounty on your head you'll be hunted down by other Voyagers.
  Actually though, there are two types of bounties.
  There are "Privateers" who only attack people from other countries and "Pirates" who attack anyone regardless of their affiliation.
  Sailors with a bounty on their head will become targets for elimination and can be attacked by other sailors even in safe waters.
  If you fight against anyone with a bounty then your Notoriety or enmity level against other countries will not change even if you win.
  In fact, you will actually be rewarded depending on the strength and Notoriety of the wanted sailor you eliminate.
  It may be easy to become a pirate but you must realize what fate awaits you afterwards.

• 9690
• If someone attacks another seafarer and renders
  even one ship immobile or accepts tribute,
  they become a bounty and can be attacked
  in a Vs. battle even in Safe Waters.

• 9691
• When you attack a bounty,
  your Notoriety and hostility rating isn't affected.
  The reward depends on the strength of the opponent.

• 9692
• Instructor Maximilian
  ...I know I've been talking about hunting down the lawless out there a lot, but don't think it'll be easy to take down a pirate.
  I'm going to teach you what you need to know to prevent being attacked out on the water.
  You can search for other captains in the same waters as you by name.
  The names of any "Privateers" will appear in orange and "Pirates" will appear in red.
  If you have the "Lookout" skill then you can use that to see the names of ship captains that are far away from you as well.
  If you use these two techniques effectively you should be able to avoid a number of pirate attacks.

• 9693
• To find a bounty, select "Search"
  from the "Communications Buttons" and,
  by entering search conditions,
  you'll be able to find the names of bounties.

• 9694
• Also, by using the "Lookout" skill,
  you can learn the identity of sailors in far off ships.

• 9695
• Instructor Maximilian
  "Tribute Goods", eh...?
  This is one way to avoid fighting with pirates. If you are attacked by pirates you can give them tribute goods and avoid fighting them altogether.
  However, that's not all you'll have to give up. You'll also have to give them half of all the money you are holding at the time.
  Plus, if you're in a fleet every member of your fleet will also have to give up half of their money in the same way.
  Furthermore, depending on the size of the vessel that is attacking you only certain tribute goods will suffice. The bigger the vessel the better the tribute goods have to be.
  Anyway, when you're attacked by pirates it'll be up to you to determine whether to fight or try and escape by giving them tribute goods.
  That's what I want you to remember the most. When you're out there sailing you have to at least expect that much to happen.

• 9696
• If you're attacked by pirates,
  you can escape from the battle
  by using the item "fine tribute goods".

• 9697
• The "fine tribute goods" that can be used
  depends on the type of ship you're on.
  There are fine tribute goods for small ships,
  mid-size ships, and large ships.

• 9698
• When you use fine tribute goods,
  each member of the fleet loses half of his current gold.

• 9699
• Instructor Maximilian
  Really? Are you sure it's enough?

• 9700
• Which do you want to hear about?

• 9701
• It's enough.

• 9702
• Actually, I'm still not sure...

• 9703
• Instructor Maximilian
  Good. Then we can end our lecture here. So you already knew everything I had to say, eh?
  However! Don't forget the basics! Keep it simple and I'm sure you can become a great seafarer someday!

• 9704
• Instructor Maximilian
  Hey, Player! My lecture...
  it seems you've interrupted it. Well then, time to leave.
