I was in Stormy D'Berry form, when a guy offered to help me. He helped for a while. We crewed up with several other pirates who were unknown to me, as well as Amelia Treasurehawk from Pixie Piratez. The "helpful" guy took us to an EITC flag ship. We all died rapidly--except for the helpful guy who was not even hurt according to the crew health bars. He did not come over to tonic us or finish off the EITC. It was very peculiar.
Of course I had to reply to him.
Later the guy showed up again and claimed to "really" be working with the EITC. How bizarre!
