  • alt text

    Forth of July is right around the corner! Come join us at Shark Bait Cove on July 4th around 12pm(CDT) and have an explosive time! We'll have grog, bananas, music, dancing, and best of all cannons! All you need to bring is as many gun powder barrels as you can carry (safely of course) and place them in the middle of Shark Bait Cove! Once the sun goes down... BOOM!!

    Join us for a Sea of Thieves 4th of July!

    Sweet!

    Have to try and show up.

  • @coralstar51199 Great idea, i will see if i can find anyone celebrating there.

  • Cool. I'll try to be there and bring some fireworks.

  • If you need a bouncer let me know

  • @coralstar51199
    I would love to do this, how do
    I know if I have joined the right server

  • Watch out for go skeletons.

  • This is fantastic!

    See, this is the joy of an open sandbox and community based game. Fantastic ideas like this being brought to fruition by an engaged community!

    Thank you!

    Happy sailing!

  • Love this! Everyone should just do this on any server you are on.
    But why Shark bait cove? We should put gun powder on the surrounding boulders and cliffs of plunder outpost, and then we can light them up via eye of reach.

  • @d-jaguar Oooooh the outposts is a good idea... if everyone knew to light up the outposts this day it would be awesome!

    There are some good spots on pretty much all the outposts... the high mountainous rocks of Plunder to the shipwreck on Galleons Grave.

  • @musicmee I love Galleons Grave! The wild has dark skies. It may make for a better background!

  • I will try it, this is a great ideia. If we dont join the same server we do it on our own. In this way maybe more people can join.

  • Are we bringing tea to ceremonially throw into the sea?

  • @carl2468

    No other way than to sail over and check. Though if enough people join in on the idea, it won't matter, as there'll be some people there regardless.

  • @reedski I laughed so hard that my family had to find out what caused it.

    Now I'll have to find an active skeleton fort!

    I was thinking Shark Bait Cove because it is at the edge of the map, away from other pirates who do not want to take part. Also, if we do it at outposts, we will be blocking the flow of "traffic" for pirates who want to do trading companies. Its going to be very explosive, so I was thinking Shark Bait Cove would be "safer".

  • @knifelife If you do not find anyone there, you might be on a different server than me and my crew. But don't worry! Anyone can try to gather players on the seas and do it anywhere you like! :)

  • @reedski Nope, just lots of grog! Lol xD

  • Splendid idea!

    Just remember - for example, if you spawn in The Wilds, there may be pirates celebrating in the lower half of the map, as new crews typically spawn further away from others.

    Happy sailing, and may the winds be at your backs on the 4th of July!

  • I'm all for celebrating getting rid of those annoying colonial types! ;P Will sail down.

    Fair winds all.

  • @coralstar51199 we should do biggest explosion challenge between boats and people get to judge ill donate a skull fort and some chests if someone helps

  • You gotta fight for your right to party.

  • I'll have to be there a bit after sunset but I'll be blasting the red kegs and firing the arms. Cannons up! Even the kraken and the megladons will flee in fear of the thunder!

    Oooh yes, with it basically traveling all the way up to the broken ship wreck above, which a ton up there as the finale! That'd be sweet!

  • @coralstar51199 Not American, but go for it, and have a good time!

  • Only way to make it better would be if a few people brought chests of 1000 grogs as well!

    Wouldn't Ancient Spire or Galleons Grave be better? You can fill up the whole area with gunpowder up to the mountain/galleon...would look great

  • Good luck. Too bad you can't pick what server to join.

    The great 'shark cove' massacre. I can see it now. #youtube

  • I wanted to test the idea out.
    I exploded the barrels all the way up Key Haul Fort and it looked great.

    Sailed across the sea picking up barrels from the three forts on the way to Galleons Grave. There weren't enough barrels to lead them all the way down the path. I thought it was enough to have them at the top with a small trail.
    Sadly, I sailed my ship to the other side of the island from the port, and waited for dusk before firing my sniper at the galleon on top. I never saw the explosion. I fired myself on to the galleon, and there were no barrels left.
    This may not work as planned. Anyone have any success?

  • @coralstar51199 I’m not American but this sounds fun, but being British maybe I should bring crates of tea :P

  • Great idea!

    ~All day/night, across all servers...different crews at meeting up at Plunder Outpost, or Shark Bait Cove.
    (With Plunder Outpost, you don't have to worry about the Skeletons...)

    Bring Grog, Treasure, and Barrels.

    Happy 4th!

  • Come to Shark Bait Cove now! We are about to begin!

  • This event is finally over! However, if you and your crew went ahead and did this on another server and recorded it, please send me the video so I can add it to my YouTube video! :D

    Send video links and files here to CoralStarTaylor@yahoo.com

    Thank you to everyone who took part in this event!
