I personally had a great time leading pirate content with one of the largest pirate fleets we've had in awhile, and we were able to have fun while respecting our fishing agreements 100%. Even though DBRB and others cried so much to Riyott he had to leave his IRL Friends and rush home to try and ban me on mumble, once everyone in the channel explained I, and the others did nothing wrong, he left satisfied that the pirates, once again, were on the right side of justice.

C'mon bud, give us the juicy details! People having fun will attract new players!

e: I can't believe people texted Riyott, and that he went home.

Here's a few snaps I took the other day.

Well,

Tonight I was prompted to begin getting active again after being encouraged by Dirty and others, so I decided to take a pirate fleet out.

Now, I know the rule that our fishing pact has is as follows:

quote:

Don't attack greens at schools of fish if they are fishing with other Goons. Also don't be dicks and hang around just outside of view range waiting for them to return. (yes people have done this too)

If you see Greens fishing and there's no Goons fishing the same spot, feel free to push their poo poo in.

That is straight off of our "diplomat's" post about it.

So we went looking for targets in spots close to our continent. On the way, we picked up a couple of green fishing boats not allied to us, and blew them up and got packs, we saw an allied one (in the strategic sense not fishing pact sense) and let it go, of course.

Then came fishing spot number one. Must have had, I don't know, four green fishing boats. We thoroughly checked, and made sure no goons were present so we wouldn't be loving other goons. Once we were sure, we blew them all up and got more packs in 5 minutes than a group would fishing for two hours. Towards the end of killing greens, a goon boat showed up (presumably to fish) so we promptly left. On our way to the second spot, fishing goons began to sperg and froth hard, invading our channel, despite having done nothing wrong.

I guess when they wrote the rules, they never expected us to actually follow them. In any case, DBRB and a few others began spamming Riyott like CRAZY on his mobile IRC to come on mumble and ban me for violating our fishing pact. Of course, when he got in, he found out I didn't, and the other 30 in the channel, even some more level headed fishing goons, agreed with that.

Anyway, we found a second fishing spot, again, after searching for a few minutes, no goons. So we pushed more green guild poo poo in. Sunk all their boats, took their fish. Sunk all the boats around them. Sunk all the boats going from the spot and shore. We probably collected ~500g in fish when it was all said and done.

Despite all of this though, fishing goons were really upset. We didn't know why, they wrote the agreement, and we followed it to the letter. In any event, I came back to the game, we had a GREAT time, huge, unnecessary drama was had, and a bunch of pirates got a bunch of gold in their pockets, that involved having a lot of fun and not clicking the equivalent of a quick time event for fifteen minutes.

I guess when it comes right down to it -- I was wrong all about fishing. Fishing IS a lot of fun, it's quick and easy when you let people fill their expensive fishing boats full of marlin and just let you glide on in and liberate them.

//edit I don't get it, people were complaining for two pages about me not being around to provide content, I log in, make content, many goons have a great time, and some of those same people are still butthurt. :iiam:

It's really dumb that you've got something that is intended to be a high-risk/high-reward activity and people are furious when someone injects the risk back into it. Yes, it turns out that the most lucrative activity in the game that also puts you into a position to be easily murdered might require a little bit of thought to not get all your poo poo stolen.

That was the entire story of wushu. A pvp game where you had to check a box that says you are ok with pvp every time you log in.

There were poo poo fits everywhere even from goons. I'm glade archeage is the same that goons still throw poo poo fits.

With Goonsquad's numbers why the gently caress aren't you guys cockblocking other guilds from the kraken? It takes like 2 minutes and 2 galleon deaths to entirely gently caress an attempt. The huge West faction alliance on Ollo despawns everything if they find out that my guild is bringing even 15 people because that's enough to take a lightly-manned galleon and start feeding ships to the Kraken.

The main eastern guild that does it, Forestcrow, can right now put roughly the same number of dudes on the field as us and vastly outskill/outgear most of our guys. We ruined their attempts for a few nights working with other guilds, but quite frankly, they were determined to get it done, and many goons go to the point where wasting their entire night not doing something fun and getting nothing out of it made camping kraken not worth it. The poopsock of some of the Aranzeb guilds cannot be underestimated.

Wicked, with only 130 members total and an average of 60-70 online managed to contest it long enough to get a seat at the Kraken table. It takes very very little to gently caress a kraken attempt.

Yeah, I know that all too well. It's been impossible for my guild to get a kill past the server's first due to a massive server imbalance and a bunch of green guilds that gently caress us over out of spite for not being invited to our kill.

The kraken is a dumb experience if you go to kill it for loot. It is an ok experience if you go there to gently caress over people.

Sitting there waiting to gently caress over something or get your chance at it is just not fun and dumb as all hell. Anyone who suggests doing this at the kraken has poo brains.

To be fair I would probably loving jump for joy if it was removed. Theres a lot of fun PvP that happens due to that fight, but the amount of wipes and sitting on your rear end waiting for the reds to just loving attack already is the most annoying thing.

Goons bailing on those Kraken ops when we did was the smartest thing we could have done. Wicked wanted us to poopsock and camp the kraken for days on end and gently caress that poo poo, I play this game for fun and that's not fun.

I wouldn't have minded camping it, but we weren't the guild there to kill the Kraken, Wicked was. We were just defending them basically, and while destroying FC junks was fun, after six hours it got kind of old. If were the guild contesting the Kraken, I maybe would have cared a bit more. Unless I'm mistaken, we didn't even have an arrangement for taking turns with Wicked at the time so they probably would have wanted us to do the same thing the next time.

Haha gently caress, 6 hours? On Ollo after one or two wipes attempts are usually called off. I couldn't even imagine 6 hours of that.

And when it came down to Auroria, somehow it was arranged that Wicked was getting the first castle for our side, instead of us. The "alliance" began to stink. It's why when Wicked got into a twist about goons making a deal for Freedick with Forestcrow, we didn't hesitate.
