FUNNY AND EPIC STORY OF A LEGENDARY BATTLE FOR THE AGES:
In POTCO, I was ADDICTED to SvS. It was my favorite thing to do. Back in the old days of SvS, around maybe when it first came out, I got some friends together on Abassa and I launched my War Sloop. We were having a lot of fun just destroying everyone for about an hour, the teams were pretty even. There were a couple of really strong ships on our team, as well as their team. Our bounty got way up there at one point. We had been out for maybe 2 hours by now, and the ship was completely full. The ship was set to public at this point in time, both sides were filled with fury gunners. It was a very fun time. But after we were sinking everything, people on the other team started to leave. After about 5 minutes of just destroying the other team that only had noobs left on it, we were about to pack up for the day and pass the bounty we had onto someone else.
So here we are, in the middle battleground area in between the 2 SvS islands, about to let this medium-class ship kill us, when all of a sudden, a TON of ships launched from the opposing island. A few war sloops and a war frigate. One of the War Sloops was very notorious, though I forget the name of it now since it was so long ago but I remember seeing that ship and thinking to myself "Uh oh."
So at this point in time, I was just meeting up in the middle with this noob ship. ALL OF THE SHIPS THAT JUST LAUNCHED started CHARGING at us. The War Sloop I was worried about starting shooting a ton of fury shots at us, so it was clear that it was a full crew. I quickly turned myself around and bolted as fast as I could out of there because we had already taken some damage from the noob ship and some of the fury shots hit us. The chase of a lifetime was officially on.
I quickly sail out of there into the non SvS waters with my crew, and I look behind us and the entire team was after us. Seriously. There had to be at least 6 or 7 of them tailing me. The War Frigate was able to get some hits on us using the front cannons, but he started falling behind a bit because, well, war frigate vs war sloop in terms of speed. But the War Sloops were keeping up. I tried angling a bit to give my crew a chance to fire, and we got some good damage on them but they also caught up and got some good damage on us. I tried outrunning them again but they kept catching up and dealing good damage on us. We ended up nearly sinking the strongest one, but we had to run before we had the chance to sink it because we were near red health. I was yelling REPAIR, REPAIR!! PLEASE REPAIR!!! A few of them did, a few stayed on the cannons still trying to hit the enemy ships. We ended up going into uncharted waters, they were still on our tail the entire time xD I was telling my crew "Hey we should see how long we can last just letting them chase us around the entire map" and they all agreed on it for the laughs. I told them to stop repairing too, just to see how long we could last. ALL OF THEM CHASED US AROUND THE ENTIRE OCEAN FOR A GOOD 45 MINUTES. Me and my crew were just sitting there laughing and clapping. I actually ended up opening another window with another account while I was sailing in a straight line on my other screen, I put the two windows next to each other and I joined the other team on my other account just to see what they were saying "I wish I had done this sooner but it's okay because man were they frustrated." In the team chat they were just saying things like "SOMEONE GET HIM" and "I GIVE UP" and "OMG I'M SO DONE WITH THIS WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET HIM FOR AN HOUR NOW" and a couple of the slower ships just gave up so at this point we just had a couple of War Sloops chasing us.
I had a brilliant idea because we were wanting a conclusion to this epic chase. I had all of the crew members leave except for a few people, and they went to my team's island and launched their light sloops. I lured the war sloops back to our island where the light sloops had lined up like an army. When I got back there, every light sloop unleashed a ton of fury shots onto the war sloops and with combined firepower, we sunk most of them (They ended up sinking me right away though, but they were so focused on me that the light sloops tore through their defenses). I docked after that, and everyone launched their light sloops and we had an armed and dangerous light sloop army for the rest of the night. (And it went well, too).
That was the most amazing, exciting and fun SvS experience that I got to have with some awesome people. I hope you enjoyed my story, it took a while to type
P.S. Come SvS with me sometime, savvy?
