So my dear friend Black Henry, I see that you have a pretty clear picture of the crucial points.
But we are few and so are you, and if any of mine or your ships are sunk or captured then that territory becomes open water or at least more open to sailing safely across her.
Exactly that was our thinking. If both of us are trying to cover the entire stretch of water from Florida to Port-of-Spain, our scarce forces will be thinned out, chances of finding a prize slim and chances of actually capturing the prize even slimmer...
And yes, any agreement that we may decide upon, is of course temporary, and then we can think about it again, whether we want to extend it, modify/improve it or abandon it. So anyway, the idea we had, is to divide the Seas of the West Indies in such a way as to take advantage of the already existing French and English settlements in that area. (They can be quite useful for hiding as well as for reconnaissance.) That would mean that we sail the waters between
Fort St.Augustin and Nassau, you then take care of the stretch between
Crooked Island and St.Kitts, we then again roam the waters from
Virgin Island to Antigua, followed by another Swashbuckler zone from
Goudeloupe to Port-of-Spain.
At the borders of these zones we could cooperate and split the proceedings 50-50. What do you say?
Fighting actively against the Undead may indeed be a bit beyond our power, and they are quite far away. But I talked to the King of England and he agreed to dispatch a Flotilla of Warships and check out how strongly they are defended. If perhaps the Crown of France has a few Ships to spare as well that could join this mission? (Judging by
your bad accent, we reckon you may have tight bonds with the "Frogs"?) Which leads us directly to your other crucial point: yes, we are indeed loyal to the Crown of England. However, the King is far away and his word does not count that much anymore, when it finally reaches these islands here at the end of the world...

But nevertheless, in order to not annoy our benefactor too much, we refrain from molesting English ships and settlements. (They are quite poor anyways...) And we would be willing to also keep our hands off French ships and settlements, if you do the same with the "Lobsters"...
Aye, I guess that's enough to think over for now,
Have another round!
