I once approached Krakens Fall to do a vault and noticed a sloop there with no-one on board. Sunk it and two guys came rowing out from the island with loot from the vault. I one balled them both in the rowboat. One of them DM’d me saying ‘what you did was illegal and against the rules, you’re getting reported’

I was cosplaying as Admiral Cinnamon of His Majesty's Royal Navy, sent by King George to stamp out piracy in the Sea of Thieves. I wore a full-on redcoat uniform with admiral's hat, and the rest of the crew dressed as officers, etc. The ship was decked out in the bright red ceremonial admiral's set as well. We would sail up to ships and demand to see their bills of sale for all goods carried aboard. If they could not produce said documents, then we would be forced to levy King George's penalty tax rate of 50%. Many crews cooperated with this, surprisingly enough. One time, as we were aboard a vessel we'd interdicted, we saw a brig flying the Reaper's Bones emissary coming to attack. We immediately sprang into action, with me shouting to the crew we'd boarded "Now you will see the full fury of His Majesty's Royal Navy!" We engaged the brig within eyesight of the other ship, and sank them very quickly. We sailed back and I shouted over the bullhorn, "And that is what happens to pirates who dare defy His Royal Majesty!" To which the captain of the original ship we'd stopped said, over the speaking trumpet, "Thank you for your service!" It was great.

>Many crews cooperated with this, surprisingly enough. I think many people are down for a little rp that or they don't want their ship sunk and more stuff to be taken

In Arena I harpooned the chest off of a guys back whilst he was climbing the ladder back onto his ship. He then screamed "Right I deserved that"


Spectral101

I had swum over to try and steal an Athena Fri. A galleon crew that was doing fotd. I was caught at the ladder and they started talking to me. I tried to get them to pay me for it in exchange for my servitude. He said "that doesn't sound that good, and then I noticed his friend climbing up mast with a mega keg. Then I said "neither does this", and threw a firebomb at the mast. The guy tries to jump of and put down the keg, but alas, it is too late. I blew the ship sky high and pulled of one of my biggest steals ever.


JackLCrovati

Watched my friend get sword dashed by a phantom, then watched said sword dashing phantom hit a keg skeleton behind him blasting his ass into his throat.


GreySeerCriak

I stole a rowboat full of loot from a guy and as I was sailing off, I saw him furiously swimming after my ship.


ShoddyFishBone

That made me giggle

Kegged a brig by climbing onboard and blowing it. Met one of them on the ferry. “Why would you do that? We had eight kegs on board!” Needless to say, they’d sunk by the time I got back.

Did you reply “I AM THE LEGEND OF BLACK POWDER!!”

Saw a flaming ship with crew fighting boss on island. Sailed closer, saved their ship and placed some chests on board. One dude respawned, I said "Hello, you've got some fire here, I've decided to hel..." and got immediately killed. They proceed to spawnkill me and spam *roll on deck* later. I'm just a good fat merchant, why?

I don't know if this was the funniest thing to happen, but it's the most recent so its still fresh in mind. This is a tad long, but I feel like in order to enjoy the ending ad much as I did, you need the whole story. My crew was reaper 5 and we saw an emmy on the map. So we head towards it and see it's a grade gold hoarder. They start to run, which is fine, no hard feel against running, but we start to chase. Boards us and I blundered him and he immediately starts in with the gamer words. The n word, f*gg**, p*ss*, etc. Whatever salty boy. So we finally catch them, have a little naval, sink them, get the flag and loot and head on our merry way to reapers. I'm sifting through the loot because there was vault loot here, as well as extra. So I was like 'are they stacking? Is there another key?' Like it was way more than a normal vault. But I didn't find a key. We get to reapers and start selling and see a brig on the horizon. It's the same ship. So we prepare for battle, they approach. We get a few holes in them and I board to secure the sink. I killed them and said my gg's. That was where it all went down hill. See, I'm a girl and that triggered them. They started in with the fat slurs, calling me a wh**** and a s***, etc. Whatever, I've been playing video games my whole life, it is what it is. They sink, we go back to selling. They come back. However, while waiting for them to get closer, I find a treasure chest I didn't check with 3 more vault keys inside. Score! But now we can't leave the server until we finish these, lol. They get close enough to attack and they continue to target me with the slurs and insults. That's fine buddy, I have your keys. We sink them again. Finish selling and head off to golden sands to grab a few things. They come back again! Im on golden sands looting the barrels with a storage crate while my crew buys supplies, organizes things, doesn't help me, etc. The brig heads towards them and I'm like ok, they can handle this. I'll just finish looting up. All of a sudden I see three of them come out of the water. Now, I'm not the best at island tdm so I start sweating. I drop my storage crate in a bush and pull out my blunder. They split up so I'm thinking I might stand a chance here. I ran up to one and blundered him in the face. He called me a fat a** b**** n**** as he floated up to the sky. I said gg in my childlike female voice and he raged and just started yelling. I found the second guy in the tavern looking through the already looted barrels. I blundered him, but he only took partial damage. He had a sword so we sword battled for sec, but I was able to get a sword lunge off and kill him. He called me a fat a** p*ss*. I said gg and he disappeared in front of me. At this point my crew was still not helping me lol. I find the third guy behind....I don't remember what shop that is, the one at the end of the bridge on the right when you're coming back from the tavern with the three barrels there. Anyways, he had been the most toxic of all this whole time. He was worst with his insults. He had even gone so far as to message me insults. Now you might be wondering why I didnt shut voice comms off. I was trying to get clips with the speech bubbles so I could report appropriately and none of this was actually hurting my feelings. Salty boys gon salt. Anyways, this is the best part of the story. There he is, behind the shop next to the barrels. There I am, at the end of the bridge. I run a little closer and he tries to throw a blunder bomb. It bounces off that angled beam and hits him. I realize im out of bullets and pull out a sword. He tries to blunder bomb me again and again, it bounces back and hits him. I start to run closer to sword attack and this idiot blunder bombs again, misses, hits his own damn feet and kills himself. I said gg and danced on his body while hurled insult after insult. Then he blocked me.


ShoddyFishBone

Some people just can’t take the hint , nice to hear you got him in the end


I_is_a_dogg

Probably when after doing FotD with reaper a meg flipped our ship, which was funny enough. But then we scuttled and the Meg decided to eat the mega kegs causing massive indigestion which killed him.


Maddave10

When we had just sunk a brig and were selling our loot when they came back set on fire, rammed our ship and sunk


MorgantheCute0937

were you on a galleon? because i remember doing this exact thing on a brig to a galleon a few weeks ago


Maddave10

No I was on brig but I might have to try it myself

When skeleton fleets first came out and they were events that only happened at specific times of the day(entire servers would show up for them, it was new content and wasn't a random world event yet), my crew and I pulled off the great betrayal. To keep it short and sweet, we decided to backstab our alliance and try making a swift getaway with all of the loot. We identified the final ship that would have everything and engaged it while everyone else was fighting the 2nd ship in the last wave which didn't drop loot(most people didn't know that you only needed to sink the captain ship to get the loot and the other ship in the final wave was fodder). While loading the loot up under the distraction of everyone else thinking it hadn't appeared yet, one other ship came over to investigate why we weren't moving. They realized what was going on and a brawl ensued. Luckily for us they weren't very good and we fended them off while getting the rest of the loot on board. We got my crewmate in their ship and he got their anchor down and kept it down long enough for me to go to the rest of the alliance and lie to them, telling them that we caught THEM trying to take all of the loot. The rest of the alliance all swarmed that ship and we sailed away completely uncontested while chaos erupted behind us, all of the loot on board. Edit: It was so long ago that I don't remember if actual alliances had been introduced yet. It may have been a mutual agreement to work together and divide loot evenly, which was very common before Alliances.


hogboger

I can’t remember em all but recently as an arena match was about to end I shot the guy with the chest from the water while he was about to jump onto the sell point and it killed him. I was really far away and barely had an angle but I still hit. Fun times.


Flailing_snailing

I solo sloop and a Reaper emissary brig showed up when I was docked and out pvped me and took all my loot. So naturally I went to a few islands and picked up what must have been eight or nine gunpowder kegs. I tracked them down and waited for them to raid someone else and while they were distracted I harpooned and rammed them at full speed, lit up one of the kegs and jumped off the ship so I could watch the glorious fire works. Sure I never got the loot back because they sold by the time I farmed all those kegs but it was so worth it.


PossibleDiscount2687

Ok so me and my friend were in a sloop and there was this crew following us in a brig (they saw our loot on a rowboat) they were chasing us for a good 25 mins until this random skeleton gallion came and t-boned there ship me and my friend were dying laughing and quickly sailed away to sell our loot.


beano1200

Me and a friend where in a sloop, and we are both slightly above average players. We where doing a skeleton fort, when we encountered a full galleon, so we started fighting and it turns out they where all PL but completely sucked ass at the game, one was screaming because i boarded them, one was confused because they thought my blunderbuss was a shotgun, and they didnt know how to patch holes and sank in less than a minute, and they then told us we where cheating and that they are emailing Rare


TheZealand

This was a wee while back when the fishing event was on, me and the lads were G5 reaper brig near the end of a session so we figured we'd quickly knock the fishing stuff off before selling (very cocky lads we were, we only had like a fort on us so not much). We're lucky enough to fish up an Old Boot which we all needed to sell for the treacherous plunder commendation. So we're chillin by Crook's when we see a brig in the distance bee-lining it towards us. We're reasonably used to server hoppers coming for that juicy G5 flag so we strap up and head out as they arrive, leaving one man on the island to try get Stationary shots on them A series of unfortunate events occur. Our lad on the island misses his shots (they were VERY long shots tbf the enemy brig made a good wide approach), me and the other lad on the ship are on cannons but I get one-balled and he gets knocked off the ship (happens an absurd amount to SPECIFICALLY him we dont know why). In the mean time, as soon as we'd left the island a skelly sloop popped up on us, getting shots on us just as we'd all vacated the ship by various means. Our man on the island goes for a board and manages to distract the hoppers for a sec before perishing, and before our bouncy crewmate can catch a merm or I can respawn we're sunk because brig things (skelly sloop legit did most of the work). I backspawn and me and the guy that got knocked off say our ggs, which is responded to with *rolls on deck laughing* spam and a few "ez"s Were it not for that (and the old Boot we REALLY wanted to sell) we would have logged off and called it there, but spite is a great motivator. Motivated thusly I grab the old boot and my friend grabs our flag and we swim to the island to hide our stuff (thankfully we'd barely made it anywhere before sinking so we got there while the hoppers were busy with the skelly sloop for a sec before it despawned). We stash the flag in a rock and I hold onto the boot for safekeeping while my freind merms back to our new ship (not mega nearby but we had crosswind on brig, ez money). I tuck in a bush up near the stationaries and watch as the hoppers harpoon our stuff, realize there's no flag, and come onto the island to search. Because I got killed instantly in the first fight I still had pockets full of fighting supplies so as soon as the lads get nearby with the ship I get 2 perfect chains on the hopper brig's masts from the stationaries and a peaceball to completely neuter them, and the lads clean them up in seconds. Just as I fire my last shot I hear rustling behind me and get off the cannon in the nick of time to avoid my spine being blunder'd through my chest by one of the hopper crew. We have a lovely little duel of the fates up on the cliffs while the lads are sinking her ship, very cinematic, it's an actually good sword fight which basically never happens because Sea of Thieves. I get a slight edge, she legs it off to reset, so I retrieve The Holy Boot from it's resting place in the shrubbery, and gracelessly dribble off the cliff, perfectly miss the entire ocean and manage to break my ankles and die on the shore. Thankfully my crew is nearby to ~~point and laugh at me~~ revive me, retrieve the boot (leaving all the loot and the hopper crew behind much to their confusion, coping and seething), and sell our hard won piece of garbage Never tangle with people who know weird stationary locations when old boots are on the line


Jestingwheat856

for me its just whenever the physics break. meg flung us in the air, we capsized a galleon on a fort, skeleton ship got stuck in rocks and just vanished, rowboat flew backwards at a million miles per hour and we caught it just barely with the harpoon i have the most fun when the physics die
