Am I a good captain?

  • I met some funny kids in open crew

    At first I captained but got really tired at the kids mucking about and being passive,

    So I told the new pirate legend to captain, always pushing the responsibility to him to annoy him.

    I placed bananas on our stove, when it caught fire, I blamed them and got them to send someone innocent to JAIL.

    I hollered all manner of pirate curses and gibberish, laughing like a madman during tense situations (such as PvP or Megalodon, Storms, volcanos to add more stress.

    I turned our ship to crash into rocks, only to blame "the captain" for all of it and that we had to SEND HIM TO JAIL

    He finally cracked after about 2 hours of my nonsense and said "captains orders, steer the ship". He suggested I am the more experienced, that I should lead.

    I laughed and thought, "these kids are getting smart". But instead, I changed out of my fancy outfit and title and wore raggedy clothes to counter this.

    We ended up PUTTING HIM IN THE BRIG for being a smart alec and he kept complaining non stop to our amusement.

    We let him out only when he declares, " I am a pirate legend, I will steer the ship" 30 times.

    So he begrudgingly assumed the captain position again.

    After a few adventures and defeating a reaper brig we decided to end the day with fishing, we caught a variety of different fish.

    Just when they thought I was done, being all peaceful with the fishing, I burnt a rare fish and convinced the crew that someone burnt the fish and MUST BE SENT TO THE BRIG, AGAIN

    That particular pirate, the smart one, the one i call "the captain" was my favourite among the bunch. I kept picking on him that he ended up adopting my pirating/captaining style. HAHAHA

    I couldn't stop laughing that day. I am normally a tamed order of soul's pirate. ( I never attack unprovoked and aim for alliances).

    It was all playful banter, and they'd laugh when I screwed up too. It made us a stronger crew.

    As much as I am a natural captain, I really prefer support roles on sails & repairs. I am just glad he learnt to captain and now sends me and others to jail for any lame reason. HAHAHA

    Tell me about your stories in the replies!

  • Some pirates, just want to watch the banana burn.

  • hahaha! indeed. Do you want to go to the brig? hahaha!

  • I'm sorry but this kind of game play is why I don't sail on open crews. It would drive me insane

  • @captain-fob4141
    Hahaha it ain't all that bad, i met really good people in open crew.

    You might be missing out on some of the funniest situations and personality dynamics with randoms. But i guess you can find partners on other platforms to do your own matchmaking.

    I always open crew because it is exciting (minus the few griefers who join just to set your ship on fire)

  • @machikane and have your fun, but frankly this sounds like griefing to me and I just personally wouldn't enjoy it.

    But as long as you and the people you play with enjoy it, that is what matters.

  • @captain-fob4141 Yeah, It may sound like griefing but we were incredibly productive that day.

    I took that opportunity to roleplay an unfair captain, who passes all the work and jails everybody.

    Also, its just my opinion but i prefer meeting players with character, not the typical "gain money" and "attack for no reason over and over again", or the overly serious supposed "adult" being toxic in a funny looking kids pirate game with a cartoon aesthetic which I find kind of soulless. I guess I took that initiative in being what I want to see in others and it worked.

    Yeah, the crew enjoyed it and had a good laugh throughout it all.

    It just tops regular gameplay for me, so much fun🤣

  • @machikane that's all that matters really,
    I enjoy roll playing in accordance with a strict code of engagement with specific rules on who to attack and when.

  • @machikane

    It's good to hear these kinds of stories, and I respect you because I'm also an Order of Souls pirate and I'm mostly neutral, though I got to satisfy my urge to randomly sink a ship, though for that I mostly target Reapers because I hate them with a passion and I half, and I also like to do alliances.

    May the Pirate Lord guide you to fortune!
