I think Flint's plan also hinged on the Man 'o War not being a normal Man 'o War, but instead being the Urca, which I assume would have had at least a couple of the guns removed to make room or weight available for gold? As I recall, he was decided at the last moment the ship they wound up attacking was the Urca, and was pretty obviously proven wrong on that as well. Might the plan have worked against the real Urca?

No, the whole thing with him announcing he was carrying Tobacco was him gambling that the ship was looking for the Urca and that he was therefore right about it being around. He wanted to take on a real Man 'o War and it was a really dumb idea.

That's right, I forgot about the tobacco ploy. That. . . was a dumb move, attacking the other ship. Made for a drat good moment though!

Vane also looks weird as gently caress. It's like every day was chest and back day and he kept forgetting about working on his legs.

edit: he's a very pretty boy, to be fair.

Apparently his workout routine is running a half marathon daily, stopping along the way to periodically do a fuckton of pull-ups, and it kind of shows; someone posted an article about it a while back.
