I didn't spend as much time on SvS this weekend as I would have liked. In part due to the weather failing to cooperate (I was hoping for rain) and in part because I kept getting booted from the busier servers (which is where you have the highest marginal propensity to acquire a big, nasty, fury flinging crew).
What I did determine through totally un-scientific research and observation was that some people don't have the first clue how to SvS.
Time and time again I was on ships with captains who drove straight into the enemy's island oblivious to who was behind them, what was in front, or the ring of red ships around the middle of their compass. Then, incredulously, they would label the enemy combatants as cheaters and glitchers - only to do the same stupid thing over, and over, and over.
The definition of insanity according to some is exercising the same conduct repeatedly, but each time expecting a different outcome.
If so, insanity - thy name is POTCO!
I do agree with Edward - a better understanding of the rules would have been nice. The scoring should have been set up to equally reward the pirate on the cannon as much as the one at the wheel. It would have been easier to put together crews if that little <GIGANTIC> point had been clarified.
Sill - when I wasn't cursing my internet provider, or seriously questioning the cognitive ability of our country's future it was fun. I haven't had that many targets to shoot at since the SvS first started.
The Codgers (that's old people for you whipper-snappers) didn't do too bad.
