Most embarassing stories from the game

[Tuefenhandel]

So, I was sailing along one day - completely full of myself: the prototypical 10 foot tall / bulletproof perception (huge chip on my shoulder). This is the result of having gone AGES since being sunk. The ship is open to the public, so I have a full compliment of gunners blazing away at a Behemoth - which is closing in on the port side of my War Galleon.

Apparently I hadn't been paying enough attention to the forums, as I was completely unaware that Behemoth's had recently been upgraded to include explosive shot.

So, here I am giving out pointers to the assembled masses that make up my crew like a hybrid of Admiral Nelson at Trafalgar and Socrates. Completely infallible.

Then, in total disbelief, I see one tiny shot strike my impervious craft and I have the slightest smidgeon of red hull indicator left. Indignantly, I remain engaged, absolutely sure that my sheer awesomeness will keep us afloat and victorious.

The double helping of humility I was served in Jail was mighty tasty.

Not to mention the 'mea culpa' I had to extend to the crew.
