A co-op soundtrack...

  • As we were attempting to do accommodations at an active fort, we were thrilled to see another galleon rolling up. Surely they would help us!

    So, as they sail closer, I decide to utilize my fancy new speaking trumpet and serenade them with a friendly "welcome to the fort" song.

    And what better than the Styx, "Come Sail Away"?

    I guess they were not amused. They fired, a battle ensued, they sank, we continued to blow up skellies.

    Then they returned. So, once again, I figured music soothes the soul. They clearly weren't fans of classic rock, so I threw on some Brittney Spears. This also was not to their liking.

    I do find it ironic that, as they were once again disappearing beneath the waves, we were belting with Brit "oops, I did it again."

    Back to the skellies. Until a sloop rolls up. We invite him to hang out, get some accommodations, and enjoy the sweet sounds of the Styx. He was overjoyed! He even kept watch for the tasteless galleon.

    After we were done, we grabbed the stronghold skull and chest for ourselves, loaded up his sloop with the rest (which he was beyond surprised and grateful for... he was fantastic) and went our merry ways.

    We could have been wary and fired on the sloop from the get go, but we didn't. And we all got an awesome experience from it.

    Lesson being.... not everyone enjoys the music. But there are many that do. Don't lose hope in finding them!

    Oh, and if the galleon had returned....I was totally ready to Rick Roll them!

  • @pink-geek-chic Great tale! I have come across a few crews now using the speaking trumpet to play music. Recently I encountered a duo at an outpost using it to have a mini dance disco with our own crew. It was a lot of fun!

    Our own crew have also used it as we were entering a fort where another galleon was parked. We played the song "Why can't we be friends" as we entered and the other galleon crew just lost it. They laughed so much that they decided to be friendly and split the loot rather than kill us like they intended. Was an awesome experience since fort encounters are rarely friendly.

  • Nice use of the trumpet, I love Styx, would have worked on me and I'm an awful person, music soothes the savage beast and all that

  • that's brilliant. :D

  • Two thumbs up for this tale! 👍👍

    They clearly weren't fans of classic rock...

    Please, just because some many people don't like Styx does NOT mean they aren't fans of classic rock. I am stuck in the 70's and 80's but I am yet to hear one song by Styx that I like. I even search the song you mentioned on YouTube.
    I have always hung with different circles of friends where we're always playing music yet I don't know of any Styx fan on a personal level. Nup nobody.
    Sorry Styx fans but that's our verdict. I can feel your dagger eyes now. lol :o)

    I am the most placid pirate on the seas but...

    so I threw on some Brittney Spears.

    That s**t will get you sunk and repeatedly spawn killed for as long as you're on the server!!! lol Same with Rick AspirinDamaged.

    How you can confuse any of these with classic rock is beyond logic.
    Sorry, I usually agree with you on these forums but you need a good dose of Zeppelin, Sabbath and AccaDacca. Stat!

    P.S. Maybe your alleged attackers simply scuttled when they got within hearing range of your broadcast. lol

  • @admiral-rrrsole lol...I was mearly being farcical. Of course a dislike of Styx is not a dislike of classic rock...I was simply being silly. As I was when I started playing Brittany Spears. I would never seriously subject people to that!

    I try!

  • Never heard of Styx. Listening to it now... 😅

  • @pink-geek-chic

    Hahahaha awesome story! I imagine so much the scene if someone would have played some music, especially oops I did it again! I would have laughed so much.

    I'm definitely going to have to test this tonight! Kind of going to play the final countdown while chasing a little sloop!
