<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 11267746, member: 76316&quot;]Sigh...I had such sweet hopes.</p><p>Anyway...Pirates frequently used all-black flags, which served as a warning to other ships before an attack. These flags signaled that the pirates intended to attack but would allow the crew a chance to surrender and live if they cooperated (giving &quot;quarter&quot;). If the ship did not surrender, the pirates would then hoist a red flag, indicating that no quarter would be given and no mercy would be shown. (This is another AI response).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
