Results!

Very smooth going battle throughout, high turnout, good use of strategies, lots of ships, no crash or drama, pretty much a perfect battle.

Next Battle:

Doing a mini fleet battle next week Saturday 8th September at 8:00pm GMT – same time as usual. The basis of that battle is that any team can have up to 5 ships competing (rather than 1 per team). Its just for some fun, and will be a little more chaotic 🙂

More info will follow shortly, gunpowder and projectiles will be provided. Ships used for this battle can be used again, but please bring any additional ships you want to use. Ty

 

Points:

1st place Scuabtuinne and Shrek’s Hand get 30 points, 3rd place Berlusconi get 10. Full points table is in group description above.

These points will be handed out to the ships, not the crews. So if you want your ship to get lots of points, be sure to use it again or modify it. You may re-name your ship, but I encourage you to stick with a name to avoid confusion.

AppleJK reminded me during a conversation a few weeks ago that the active crew list needs updating. So I’ve prepared a new list in time for new year 2017.

First off, I’d like to make some points clear:

1. This is based off data from the 28th and 29th December 2016. It is entirely possible that people have changed crews, come back from inactivity or founded new crews in the meantime.
2. The crews are ranked alphabetically (omitting “The” from the title). The listed players are all the crew members who have been active in the past 30 days. They are listed chronologically with the active crew leaders at the beginning. Anyone who hasn’t been active in that time frame is not included. That includes crew leaders.
3. The crew names are spelt as they are in-game, including typos and spacing issues. I might have typed some of the player names wrong, but please don’t rip my head off because of that. I can’t help it if someone named themselves something untypable like xXxn3P4HanTeeM7824xXx…
4. There are a LOT of crews I don’t know anything about. Feel free to post more information below!

So, on to the list!
