This thread is mainly for Godsy who has been apalled at the legendary status of such a horrible player (understandable) and the newer members of PirateCraft who weren’t around to see the banned player HardTimez and what he did to the server. In this post I wan’t to clarify who he actually was and what he did to impact PirateCraft that we all remember for him for. Or at least what I do.
Many now associate/confuse him with the title of Pirate Lord. HardTimez was far from that. He was a conglomerate of sea scum and barnacles that latched onto the hull of PirateCraft; that is until Godsy scraped him off like the piece of filth he was. HardTimez was a disgusting, ruthless, individual who hacked because he lacked skill in PvP combat and adored negative attention. On top of that he was rude as well as abusive towards players and staff alike just to feed into his own ego. It’s now about a year since he has been banned (celebrate) if i’m not mistaken and his name has been coming up in the topic of PirateCraft history.
Why do people still say his name if he was so bad? Why do they mention him at all in the server’s history? Why is he mythologized? I believe it is not what he did, but what the server did in response to him that is remembered and revered most. Many crews before his terror weren’t close, allies were far and few between. Every crew cared about their own individual destinies and wouldn’t be bothered with others unless they got in their way. HardTimez changed all that. His brutal massacres in PvP using hacks and his assaults in chat created a common enemy that was realized by many. This is how the League of Nations, what was then the Allied, came about; one of the largest and greatest alliances created in PirateCraft history initially to combat HardTimez and his outlaws as well as help each other recover from the attacks. Numerous other players and crews banded together and fought side by side for one of the first times in PirateCraft History to put an end his filth and fear during the Outlaw War. After HardTimez eventually was banned and the pirates beaten back (at least for a small while) crews began building without fear, and with newfound friends, created some of the most amazing builds and settlements still present today. They began to recover overtime, still maintaining the closeness and connectivity with allies brought upon them in the time of war. Now many of these nations strive to make PirateCraft the best community it can be, helping deckies, contributing to forums and build projects, even just obeying the rules of PirateCraft and leaving their mark with a base or a crew of their own.
HardTimez dealt out the worst, being the worst himself, but simultaneously brought the best out of every other crew in PirateCraft. HardTimez shouldn’t be remembered as a Pirate Lord, but as the catalyst that brought us as a community closer together. He should also stand as a reminder to us all that the good will always triumph over evil. Let us look to other’s to claim the title Pirate Lord, as they are more deserving than the honorary Pirate “Lard” HardTimez.
I hope I explained this well enough for people to make sense of it and didn’t step on any toes in the process as this is a very sensitive topic. Any of the older players, feel free to explain/leave your input as well as correct any errors that I may have made. Now hopefully HardTimez can be properly understood as to what role he played in this server’s history; the one that many miss label.
Hard was a unstoppable pirate master. But he was not that rude or horrible at all. He made like barely any disrespect slurs in chat and didn’t abuse hes strength unlike the many players today. Now, you cannot argue with this, if he did have abusive and disrespectful chat slurs he would be banned immediately. I’m sure many people have experience of being banned from harassment or disrespect. Hardtimez may of not been the most honorable pirate but he knew loyalty and generosity. Lets not forget, the famous Verussia wouldn’t be a thing without Hardtimez and his 0utlaws. He saved Verussia at a very desperate time when ChickenRex and some other reckless player besieged its first and only city. Also, he did not use hacks while saving us. I think HardTimez had a good run and should be remembered as the Pirate Lord of the seas. He did much better than many other hackers including the Hattawi and he didn’t only use hacks.

@NickyB_123 Spot on, good post.
One massive positive out of bringing back an old name, is that people are wanting to create a place to store the servers vast history, this is why I created the wiki http://wiki.piratemc.com/ anyone can edit and make pages, and its already filled with some wonderful history of the server!
Hardtimez even had his own page! http://wiki.piratemc.com/Hardtimez
I hope no witch-hunts come from this, this post is very informative of a players name im sick of hearing praised.
Here is his punishment log http://bans.piratemc.com/index.php?action=viewplayer&player=HardTimez&server=0 and yes he stole my skin, he tried to pass it off that he originated with it, after playing months with another skin.
I will take away that people do want a history to be kept, I will re-open the thread for the Museum, and it will stay as just that, I can put it at the cove, and sub-claim it for players to manage an in-game history of what they want.
