Last night was a crazy night, which I'll post about later, but tonight ended in a very funny way, too.
Had a brig going with two friends to try out the vaults. We hit L5 gold hoarders pretty fast, well before the vault itself. After doing the vault, there was a sunken ship right next to the island, so we got that. Then a skeleton sloop pulled up right next to us. As we're grabbing the loot from the sloop, server merge. We merge into a server with a L5 reaper galleon, that's now coming right at us. We get to Golden Sands, get everything sold, and lower right as they get there. They're kind of mad, but peel off because there are two other GH emissaries on the map, and an empty ship is a good waste of resources.
We go sell some fish we had for Sea Dogs rep, sink a skeleton galleon, and the golden reaper bounty spawns almost right next to us. We say fuck it and grab it. We only have a few thousand worth of loot and have made a shit ton already, so if we can't get it back to turn in, oh well. The reapers have obviously been successful in their dunks of other ships, and even though they are on the east of the map, they start racing towards reapers outpost. We get there and sell the reapers chest and the captains skull from the skeleton ship, while our third sails our ship away. The reaper ship is pretty pissed, as this is the second time we've sold before they can get to us. So they start chasing us.
Since we're done playing and really don't care, we just start throwing the stuff we do have overboard, then vote to scuttle right as they get to up on us. They were very upset. I laughed. I got blunderbussed in the face. I laugh again. I take a small amount of pleasure in knowing they either got nothing, or spent a stupid amount of time trying to pick stuff up that wasn't worth much.
