Not offended at all. I don't even like playing with the Pirates.

My point is that just because you can do something (like being allways the first to pick the Pirates) doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. I'm sure there are other players who would like to play with the Pirates and I think it would be nice from you to give them a chance.

There are plenty of things everybody can do but that are not fair to the rest of the players, like joining all the games and then dropping off them after a couple of turns, or form a big alliance of 4 or 5 races and wipe out one by one the rest of scattered races, etc... That's all possible, but spoils the game.

And finally, I think you would also enjoy playing other races. If you don't know how to play with them, there're plenty of guides around.

there is a simple principle here - whoever got up first put on his slippers (Russian proverb). I can't forbid you to take the pirate race first , but if you consider yourself offended, I'm ready to play less for your pleasure
