WTF, over?

What did they do, take them to their destination and get paid by them?

Sell them on the slave market?

Dump them overboard?

I can see stealing cars, electronics, weapons, even some raw materials. But people?

Something needs altering here.

Why?

Selling people for ransom is quite popular in some areas. Just read the news.

Laughing I am sitting here laughing, with visions of two shady figures waddling trough the dark foggy night in the London docklands.
Their coat pockets weighed down with YOUR iron ore!!!!

The Bobby : "Sir Stickymonk, can you describe the missing merchandise?"

Hahaha Laughing Wink

Well, I have a very good imagination...
and I can imagine some pirates leading 1500 people to a kind of hostage camp they built before Laughing .
And 300,000t of iron... hmmm... hard to think of this but maybe somehow they got it off the ship and distribute it by old cars and trucks.

But please, can anybody explain what happened to me one hour ago:
The Hightech pirates visited my very large crude carrier and stole (!) more about 400,000t of crude oil and 50,000t of gas!!
Seems like they are equipped with a fleet of supertankers hiding somewhere near Jamaica (where I was robbed). Shocked

It's strange in the first place that you loaded crude oil and gas in the same tanker. Wink

These pirates are getting more advanced by the minute.

this is just a game...people with 300000tons iron ore need probably 1500 passengers to discharge the vessel.... Laughing
but in fact piracy is a dangerous threat in these days in very much parts of this crazy world.you can say, in all poor areas and all areas with war and warlords,with a lot of weapons,you can have this piracy trouble.there is a weekly piracy report in the internet.
