Yeah, they all suck.
Errm, well, it was worth a try :D

Up yours, bitch!
My word
Pathetic is indeed Mecha's word.
Where's that guy who always had that "puppeteer" line?
P.S. Isn't it sad that most players nowadays don't know what BLAK is?

Why would they most newer players have never even seen a BLAK member log-in.
Exactly.
Ya, that would go back almost 3 years at least.
Its an inherently tricky problem. The presence of a BLAK spoof guild largely precludes reviving the old order, while newer pirate organizations lack the ability -- or the will -- to escape the shadow of its legacy.
The fall of the old pirate organizations, and the constant splintering of the newer ones, has been the primary contributing factor in the decline of piracy in general. Sure, there's still plenty of piracy overall, but the profession (such as it is) really isn't what it once was. Its not that the traders have grown emboldened; its that pirates have grown soft. Without an established Order there is nothing to cultivate respect or fear, and nothing to set the wannabes apart from the true diehards.
BLAK may have been before my time, but it would seem that I have a firmer understanding of what it meant than any of the pirate guilds that have formed in the years since its collapse -- and I'm a goody-two-shoes lawman for God's sake.
You want BLAK to come back? Then you've got to find and organize the few pirates who still give a damn, and give a damn yourself. Fear and respect don't come from a clever guild tag; they're earned by reputation.
As someone who, off the record, enjoys piracy in VO, if only just as a foil to my own vice and virtue, I suggest that those of you who care get to work on it -- while there is still something left to save.

A lack of active players on one side or the other at any given time usually seems to be the biggest hurdle. Whenever one side gets some numbers, the other side dwindles. I'm beginning to think we're all just alts of eachother...

Woah, BLAK is old now.
Mind.
Blown.
Mind.
Blown.
The other night I was killing some dude over and over and he said to me "You're ok but someday I'll meet a member of BLAK"
BLAK is the new killing it?
No, BLAK is the new old. Whatever that means :D
Haha. If lecter is ecka then that explains a lot.
Don't make me say it.

Don't make you say what? You once were Itani and Serco at the same time, how fucked up are you?
More than you are aware.
I'll vouch for Mecha on that.
