Exactly! I have only done two pushes, both of a guildmate. There is just one pirate who is not in my guild I would even remotely consider pushing, and then ONLY because he is a very good friend of mine. There is just no reason to push a strange pirate. It's not a prank. You don't know if that other pirate finds being pushed funny. If said pirate woke up mid push you might find yourself reported, and with good reason.

Last night while I was pushing Sven, a couple random pirates happened on me. I don't remember the guild name but it was one I'd never seen before. They watched me for a minute then said "Good to know." And turned to go. I made it a point to stop and tell them "We only push guildmembers!"

In my opinion the only okay people to push are your guild, if you are a DW or of a guild which engages in this sort of random silliness, or a very good friend. Never push a random pirate! EVER!


Note, my 8 year old niece just looks at me when I explained pushing random pirates and says, "That's like pushing someone into the pool!" You tell em!!
