So I was sailing around wondering what to do, I had just completed a fort and then it hit me...
I had 4 nuclear bombs in my crowsnest (yes, I took the gunpowder from the fort), and a level 4 emissary. I didn't plan on losing the emissary anytime soon, so I thought about throwing them out, but then I thought about how I might get some reputation and a little more gold (I was pretty low), and thought 'Why not?' and headed straight for the nearest outpost.
Turns out I went a little off course and was pretty close to reapers hideout. That wouldn't have been bad if it weren't for the reaper who was there. And going in my direction eventually they turned and got close enough for a broadside, and it looked like they were about to.
I checked the map to make sure I was going the right way, and heard a cutlass sound behind me. I looked around and saw him, and we just stood there staring for like 5 seconds and he said "Hello." I was still frozen with fear, and also just accepting fate, and then he said "You want to join an alliance?"
I accepted his offer, and went to sell the gunpowder, before I got to the outpost I saw the words 'Chest of legends sold', but you see it was 5 CHESTS OF LEGENDS, I knew about there friend who had been at the FoTD for a while but JESUS, 5?! After I sold my gunpowder, nature was calling, and I was gone for about 10 seconds, and I was already at +100,000 of what I had after doing the fort.
And it ended with about 800,000 gold, and a helluva lot more rep in all companies (excluding reapers).
Bonus story: (same session) I went to Castaway Isle for no reason than besides to hopefully get out of range for getting a voyage to Old Faithful I ended up getting one, got rid of the voyage and near instantly heard "Hello friend." The person boarded my ship (we'll call him PL) he asked me what I was doing on the seas, and seemed like a nice guy, then he asked me if I wanted to learn a lesson I said "Let me guess." and before I could finish he said that he didn't want to but had to kill me because I had an emissary up, he also told me a few other things while my soul was being taken by the ferryman, so I just waited for his friend to sink my ship.
When I spawned on the other island I thought what can I do though? And eventually just shut off SoT for the day, because I had already done a lot.
