[CLOSED] Win Wednesday - Obsidian Eye of Reach and Drum giveaway!

Board one with a chest of sorrows while attacking the other. Then collect the chest to sink the next ship!

I like to circle around a rock until they get caught on them and then just go to town with the cannons. No. 2 is the ole explodey barrel. I would like to try a chest of sorrow... if I ever run into one during the event.

I enjoy bailing buckets of water from our ship onto the skelly ships. My favorite though is seeing Meg join in and take a bite out of a skelly as we pummel them both with cannon fire.

The best way to sink those skellies is to put a sorrow chest on their ship
that's it problem solved

Hello, Skellys,look at your crew, now back at mine,now back at your crew, now back at mine. Sadly,they are not us,but if they stopped using cursed cannon balls and switched to gunpowder kegs, they could be like us. Look down,back up,where are you? You're on a brigantine with the capitan your crew could have. What's in your hand,back at me. I have it,it's an accommodation with your name on it. Look again, the accommodation is now a pistol. Anything is possible when you sail with my crew and not a skelly. I'm on a sloop.

But serious mode. Sloop. No gunpowder. Pure sword and board for one crew while the other sails repairs shoots. Fastest way? No. But the most thrilling. Makes for an epic pirates tale the next day at work.

get another crew and see who can survive the longest while bailing water onto the skelly ship. whoever gets the last bucket on the ship without having to respawn gets a skull chest to that person.

A gunpowder barrel in the lower deck is always a fun one.

Board and powder them to pieces!^^

Board them. Take their supplies, and attack them so they can’t repair.

Typically in a Brig - send boarder, put a couple cannon shots below waterline and he protects those while we ram and pin the ship so that we can bucket directly over to their deck.

Need the obsidian EoR and Drum, and even at $100+ on eBay I've been tempted just to have more of the full set. I have the pre-order clothing and equipment set, the Chips Ahoy promo items, and the Midnight Blunderbuss. Missed the Ebon flintlock Mixer stream, and don't get to attend E3 for these two lovely in game models. I'm a collector and hope eventually there's a way to obtain the entire set and this giveaway could help!

First, give the skeletons a false sense of security by fully stocking your supply barrels then sink within the first two minutes of battle.
Return to the scene in your new replacement ship with the default amount of supplies.
Gather up the kazillion gunpowder kegs you brought to the party in your first attempt, which are still floating at that memorable place you sank.

Throw all caution to the wind by sailing right up to each Skeleton ship, close enough to exchange paint and board it with a gunpowder keg.
Make a bee-line to the lowest level, the hull, as your helmsman turns away from the ship.
This is a vital step as the blast will also damage your vessel if you remain too close.
Detonate the gunpowder and prevent the skeletons from repairing the damage it caused.

Throw in some low-level cannon shots both above and below the waterline.
Rinse and repeat.

Sit back and hope they have a competition asking of our "favourite way of taking down the mighty skeleton ships" where they will offer awesome looking prizes (perhaps something that would match my Black Dog pre-order clothing). lol grovel grovel :o)
