Is it normal or does it randomly 'stink' to have the pirates nab you back-to-back? I don't have Hostage Negotiation because I'm going to get trap detection. However, I tried to move from Delhi to NY and got caught by pirates. No problem, that happens sometimes, but immediately tried to travel to NY again and got caught by pirates AGAIN. That's the first time for either of my agents to get nabbed like that in the 3 to 4 years I've been playing.

My 3rd try got me to NY, but I've spent 12 cases and made 1 move.

I understand the chances you take not having Hostage Negotiation and I don't have a problem with it. However, the 'double-whammy' is a little ridiculous, don't you think?

Honestly,the chances of being caught even once is rare:I've travelled 3 times a day and have not met the pirates at all!I believe the chance of running into pirates is about 1/5.

The chance to have that happen is much reduced. It's rare but it'll happen occasionally.

Thanks, Y'all!

I had to post the question, both in frustration and curiosity.

I also knew that I would be educated and comforted by y'all's answers. That's one of the many reasons I still thoroughly enjoy this game.

Thanks, again.
