Last night was one of the best nights of gaming I've had in ages. Absolutely mental, we didn't get a single thing done that we set out to do but had an absolute blast. This game is brilliant
Not everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff.
I wish I'd thought to capture the moment my firebomb inadvertently set off two gunpowder barrels on that skele ship. It knocked me for six, but I landed on the plank
After sinking the skelly fleet, the alliance trust was tested when at a skull fort, both our docked ships were kegged by a sneaky ass sloop. The fuckers had stockpiled gunpowder barrels behind some satellite rocks, swam over, hobbled us but sunk our new friends. Must have chased them around the fort waters for twenty minutes before our brig comrades arrived and loaded the Fellatio with the plunder from our previous battle, just bobbing in the sea.
The late hour made an outpost seem the sensible destination, so left the fort to the griefing sloop...
There is a sweet post script to the midnight cut and run!
After the celebrations in the Tavern and with everyone going I decided to sail the Galleon back on a one way ramming mission.
Setting off, I could see their ship but the skull cloud was gone - they were off.
Following with full sail, the gods intervened. In the distance there was the sloop snared by a Kraken.
Giving valuable time to catch up saw me on them in minutes. Dropping the anchor at a safe distance I happily rained fire bombs on their stricken sloop while the beastie bashed them to the deep.
Took me what seemed an age getting all that loot on board, and the old bum twitched thinking they would return in a fresh ship but it appears Karma is still a bitch.
Top lols, cheers chaps.

I was fucking knackered today. At 11:30 I stated my intention to go to bed, didn't get there until 12:55. What a game!
The above haul was the second of the evening too, after Hair, Shakey and I had managed to man a Galleon with only three seamen and pick up nice wee trove.
After we'd sold it all and sunk our ship, Hair spotted an enemy Galleon at a nearby island. All he had was a gunpowder barrel and a mind so altered by his own Legend status that his amazing plan was to swim to the island with his crew mates as bait for the sharks and blow up the ship. You can push a pirate too far though.
haha. great shot, and no doubt well deserved!
I've been playing a bit of this last few days, but just with my daughter. I'm on the PC, she's on xbox, and we just shout at each other from different rooms on what to do and where to go.
She's only 8 so it's played as more 'happy pirate family' where we just sail around and her main aim is to buy clothes for the pet monkey...danger and combat is of less interest. It is putting me in the mood for a slightly more grown up adventures, but then by the time they're in bed, then in terms of my pirate energy - that ship has sailed.
So if you're playing early doors and see me on, i'm not being rude if i don't invite/join you
