So I spent the evening goofing off, hunting mermaid statues cause fishing is dull, but they have neat stuff. Did a couple of messages in a bottle. Anywho, I had a bunch of balls, cursed and regular and wanted to be sure someone got them. Don't ask me why, I just did.
So I found a Galleon at Galleon's Grave. I put up my white flag and spammed, We're Friendly, Truce, Mercy.
They hauled aft outta there! I finished pulling up my sails. Figured they'd freak out more if I tried to chase them down. Maybe they'd come around. They did. Then the genius at the wheel managed to wedge them between the Island and the dock.
I lol'd and was about to ask if I could somehow help, when they opened fire. I took the shots and tried to textchat "want supplies?" Buuuut they kept shooting. I could have opened fire back. They weren't going anywhere. I scuttled cause I was done for a bit. I tried to textchat again, but they started shooting at me more. I swam around the corner so I could again tell them what was gonna be in the barrels. Kept shooting, one guy swam out to try to finish me off.
I swam towards my merperson and killed a shark, grabbed the meat and noticed the swimmer was still coming after me. I took my merm back to my boat so I could go sell the shark meat. I was going to go taunt them, but I meassaged the swimmer and explained their mistake. They had gotten out of the corner or scuttled by the time I got back, looks like the did pick up the cursed balls tho. I lol'd.
Moral of the story:
Sometimes (not very often I understand,) people are just trying to be nice.
Also don't sell your Merperson Jewels to the Goldhoarders.
