Thanks for all the fish and fair winds

As some of you may have noticed, I have withdrawn my crew, Rebel Uprising from the flag.
I'm afraid that I wasn't impressed with the lack of respect shown to other flag members' officers, myself included before and during the recent blockade defence. People that were promised nav places on brigs, frigs and sloops, most of them experienced navvers, Captains and officers, were either ignored or ordered to work as jobbers. This showed a lack of respect for their position and experience which I found unacceptable.
On that basis and that basis alone, I have decided to leave and form my own flag.

I would like to say I enjoyed my time with the flag and wish it all the best for the future.

So, for you this wasnt about defending NU and doing whatever needed to be done to defend Nu? If everybody naved, we wouldnt have had a ship on the board. We'd still be waiting on them to fill.
It was a busy time for all ,so you may not have been ignored. Also, some of us other flagmates had to act as "mere jobbers" but we were about winning a blockade. Theres no way to determine how many jobbers are gonna show up, so if you were promised a spot to nav, I'm sure it would have happened if we had a vast amount of jobbers.

Im offeneded that you think doing a duty station is beneath you and see not getting to do what you want is a lack of respect on our part.

I hope you find happiness and respect in your new flag,
