Results!

Well, this one ended with a bang…
Once again, a huge thank you to everyone taking part in the battle, or helping to enforce the rules. We had a turnout of over 25 people in one indiaman, galleon, schooner, two submarines, and eventually one short-lived dhow. The battle, like the last time, was decided way into the second half of the battle.

Winners (based on who went out last):

1. The Royal Narwhal – xMadBoltx (Captain), Nationalistic, xMadMonkeyx, Dark_101, ArcherSquid
2. The Teletub (I’m not typing out the whole name, cba) – AdmiralTrench (Captain), Riverwood202, CottageCooper, Kepopie, Joe_danger_2003, Savagewolf_ (from another ship)
3. The Flounder – Bazurka (Captain), CaptainReef, several more BE members
4. The Wicked Wolf – Savagewolf (Captain), Jack5112, shozzey69
5. DimondKnight’s Ship – dimondKnight998 (Captain), SPOOKYPLANT_, plus others
6. Jammin’s Ship – Jammin_Mas (Captain) – Entered the battle 1 hour in but only lasted around 7 minutes, poor lil’ ship 🙁

Important notice regarding the winners:
The final two ships left, the Teletub, and the Royal Narwhal would have probably ended the match in a draw. While both ships sustained a lot of damage, and frequently had cannons knocked out, they were both still moving. Unfortunately, within the last 10 minutes of the battle a player from BE named spookymryellow2  managed to get on board the Teletub and set off at least 8 TNT on the main deck, destroying a large portion of the ship and disabling her completely (I am aware that this player acted out of their own accord, and not as instructed by BE). As such the Royal Narwhal was declared the winner, however they were not the ones to deal the final blow to the Teletub. Spookymryellow2 will not be allowed to participate in the next ship battle.

Other rankings, based on my observations:

• Most damage received as % of the ship (excluding the TNT incident) – The Wicked Wolf
• Most damage dealt as % of the ship – Teletub
• Most damage repaired as % of the ship – The Royal Narwhal 
• Most ships sunk/disabled – Draw between Teletub and The Royal Narwhal (credited with disabling/sinking 2 ships each)
• Most player kills – Teletub
• First ship sunk (not just disabled) in a ship battle so far – Flounder (you put up a good fight guys!)

Damage Report:

Once again, if a ship was receiving a lot of damage, and has been stationary for a while, I would give the crew 60 seconds to trey and get the ship moving again or I deemed them out of the battle. As an additional rule in the last 15 minutes, all submarines were no longer allowed to submerge and stay underwater for long periods of time, as both subs were stationary for up to 10 minutes at a time repairing while being immune to the remaining ship (I wanted to get things moving again).

• The Royal Narwhal – Received moderate damage throughout the battle, suffering most of the damage on one side of the submarine. She lost her horn for a brief period, and ended up surviving the battle heavily damaged and partially repaired. Her crew often took her underwater to repair her, out of the range of the cannons. After coming last in the previous ship battle, she redeemed herself this time, good job lads!
• Teletub – Received moderate damage within the fist 20 minutes of the battle, and needed a lot of repairs to the front and port (left) side. Her cannons were being knocked out frequently, and she suffered a lot of frontal damage when coming under fire from the Royal Narwhal and the Flounder at the same time. She was critically damaged when a player got on board and placed TNT on her main deck, blowing up the main deck, all remaining cannons, taking out two masts (detaching the wool from the ship), and leaving a huge hole at the front and side of the ship. She surrendered within 30 seconds.
• Flounder – Received minor damage in the first half, but later received critical damage within the last 15 minutes and was sunk by fire mostly from the Royal Narhwal. She is officially the first ship to be sunk by cannon fire during a battle, as all previous ships were always disables rather than sunk. Her design was very unique, featuring a detachable top part, and being circular in design. Her wreck now lies on the seafloor, and with permission from its owners, I would like to keep her there as a memorial 🙂 @bazurka
• The Wicked Wolf – A worthy successor to the Lone Ship. Once again, this small ship entered armoured only with wooden planks, with a few cannons, and a crew of 4. She put up a good fight for the first 25 minutes of the battle, was but eventually battered by both the Teletub and Royal Narwhal, leading to her crew being unable to fix her in time. Once out of the battle, she was once again hastily repaired and taken back to port, ready for another battle.
• DimondKnight’s Ship – Received heavy damage within the first 30 minutes of the battle. By dimensions, this was the largest ship in the battle, but being armoured with only wood, she could not hold up under sustained fire from the Teletub. Once she started to engage the Teletub, she quickly had two of her masts detached, leaving her stranded. A few volleys from the Teletub killed most of her crew, and she was eventually fully disabled.
• Jammin’s Ship – Entered 1 hour into the battle (rare exception), but after only 4 cannonball hits from the Teletub, she was was heavily damaged. However, she did manage to to some decent damage to the Teletub within its 5 minute lifespan.

Next ship battle: 7pm UK time/2pm EST (one hour earlier than before), next Saturday – I may not make it that day in which case The_Network will probably moderate the battle
The next ship battle will be ships only – no submarines. I will host a submarine-only battle the following Saturday.

The last one was a big success, lets do it again!

When – 6:00pm GMT, 2:00pm Eastern Time (same as last week)

Where – The Freeport, Coordinates: x: -6000 y: 100 z: 3800 (same as last week). /warp event will be set there on Thursday evening for people to start preparing ships

Rules (short and sweet this time):

• NO BOARDING. That includes the use of enderpearls, and /top under enemy ships
• No explosives such as TNT, or TNT cannon shot
• Stay on your ship the best you can – avoid swimming around and shooting from the water
• Spectators: stay out of the way or you will be shot

Armour:
Anything you want, don’t bring anything you can’t afford to lose

Weapons:
Anything you want. Bows are allowed, and so are potions. Don’t bring anything you can’t afford to lose

Projectiles/cannons:
Any type of cannon. COBBLESTONE AND MELON SEEDS ONLY. Bring your own gunpowder and cobblestone

Ship types:
Any

Crews:
Any size

Teams (new rule!):
Teams are any ships that want to work together to win (such as the three narwhal subs last time). To make it more fair, here are some new rules concerning ‘teaming up’:

• A maximum of 3 ships per team
• The only exception to that rule is using 3 Indiamen or 3 Manowars – this will not be allowed! (you can have 2, plus one other ship)
• Ships must announce that they are working together before the battle
• Last team standing wins – if two ships of the same team are left, they both win (unless you want to challenge each other)

How to take part:
No sign-up required, just come along! If you want to build a ship at the battle locations, give me a message in-game and I’ll teleport you over there.

Spectators:
No ‘spectator ships’ allowed, sorry. Stay in a vanilla boat, then the fighting ships will know not to shoot at you!

I hope to see you all there again!

Results

A big thank you for everyone taking part, this was the largest turnout for a ship battle ever! Without further adim here are the results for the 1 hour and 40 minute battle:

Winners (based on who went out last):

1. RSS xXx_Teletubbie_Trash_Heap_2000_xXx – Gruusha/Jmoo (Captain), Minister_Moo, LlewyMudlark, Riverwood202, Nahadoth, Joe_danger_2003, JUSAplayer1, reesepatterson04
2. Bananawhal – Most of BE (If someone could send me a list of the crew that would be fab)
3. Red Narwhal – Bazurka (Captain), CaptainReef
4. Lone Ship – Lone crew members +romich
5. The Royal Narwhal – xMadBoltx (Captain), Snapcrackplays

It was a very close fight until the very end, and the last two narwhal ships took a beating before they were both disabled. It was really close!

Other rankings, based on my observations:

• Most damage received as % of the ship – Bananawhal
• Most damage dealt as % of the ship – Teletubbie
• Most damage repaired as % of the ship – Lone Ship (repaired the ship twice, before finally being disabled)
• Most ships sunk/disabled – Teletubbie (4 ships disabled)
• Most player kills – Draw between Teletubbie and Bananwhal, you both nailed everyone, and I stopped counting half way though haha

Damage Report:

If a ship was receiving a lot of damage, and has been stationary for a while, I would give the crew 60 seconds to try and get the ship moving again by any means, or I deemed them out of the battle. Once the time was up and only the Teletubbie and Bananawhal were left, they were both given 60 seconds to get their ship moving, only being allowed to place signs, but not allowing any other blocks placed or broken. The Teletubbie was moving, but the Bananawhal was out of action.

• Teletubbie – Received some damage in the first half of the battle, but received heavy damage in the last 30 minute. Ended up losing a mast, all of her original cannons (parts were salvaged and used to make new cannons), and most of her starboard (right side) armor. Went from an indiaman to a manowar due to the amount of damage received
• Bananawhal – Received minimal damage in the first half of the battle, but received heavy damage in the last 30 minutes. Her roof was shot to bits, but her crew kept her going by submerging her and repairing what they could. The final moment of the battle saw her using hastily built cannons on her roof, however she was unable to move one the time was up, so she came a close seconds. Her wreck is on display at the Freeport (battle location)
• Red Narwhal – received minimal damage in te first half of the battle, but received heavy damage in the seconds half. She kept up a good fight with the Teletubbie, taking her 1 on 1 and knocking out many of her cannons. However , she was heavily punished when the cannons were repaired and as a last ditch effort, her crew of two surrendered.
• Lone Ship – Received heavy damage throughout the battle, and was almost out at one point, but her crew fixed her up swiftly. While the Teletubble and the Royal Narwhal were duelling in the first half of the battle, the Lone Ship was taking on the other two ships. Having lost her mast, and many holes in her sides, she almost went out after 40 minutes, but in the last seconds her crew got her moving again, and she ran off to conduct repairs. It was only in the seconds half where she was in the crossfire between the Bananawhal and the Teletubbie, she took so much damage that her crew could not fix her up in time and she was declared out of the battle.
• The royal Narwhal – received heavy damage in the first half of the battle, disabling her within the first 30 minutes. A legendary ship, but luck was not her side this time. In the opening minutes of the battle, she fired the first shots at the Teletubbie, and dealt moderate damage, but she was quickly overwhelmed and subsequently disabled.

Next ship battle: 8pm UK time/3pm EST (same time), Saturday 4th November (next Saturday) – I hope to see you there! I’ll make another post soon.

Please post any screenshots down below, mine are on their way!

Results!

A big thank you for everyone taking part, this was the largest turnout for a ship battle ever (at least 25 people taking part and a further 10 spectating)! Without further ado, here are the results for the 1 hour and 40 minute battle:

Winners (based on who went out last):

1. RSS xXx_Teletubbie_Trash_Heap_2000_xXx (Winners) – Gruusha/Jmoo (Captain), Minister_Moo, LlewyMudlark, Riverwood202, Nahadoth, Joe_danger_2003, JUSAplayer1 (at the end), reesepatterson04 (at the end)
2. Bananawhal (Disabled) – Most of BE in the end (If someone could send me a list of the crew, or the real name of teh sub that would be fab)
3. Red Narwhal (Disabled and Surrendered) – Bazurka (Captain), CaptainReef
4. Lone Ship (Disabled) – Lone crew members +romich
5. The Royal Narwhal (Disabled and Surrendered)- xMadBoltx (Captain), Snapcrackplays

It was a very close fight until the very end, and the last two narwhal ships took a beating from the Teletubbie (I’m not writing out the full name again) before they were both disabled. It was really close!

Other rankings, based on my observations:

• Most damage received as % of the ship – Bananawhal
• Most damage dealt as % of the ship – Teletubbie 
• Most damage repaired as % of the ship – Lone Ship (repaired the ship fully twice during the battle)
• Most ships sunk/disabled – Teletubbie (4 ships disabled)
• Most player kills – Draw between Teletubbie and Bananawhal (you two basically nailed everyone, I stopped counting half way though haha)

Out of all 5 ships that took part, all three BE ships were subs, the Lone Ship was a brig (and made fully out of wood and wool!), and the Teletubbie was an indiaman

Damage Report:

• Teletubbie – Minimal damage in the first half of the battle, heavy damage received in the last 30 minutes of the battle
  • Whilst fighting the two remaining BE subs, at one point all of the 31 cannons on board the Teletubbie were disabled, along with losing most of her armor on the starboard side, and losing a mast toward the end. At the end of the battle, she went from a 2900 block indiaman, to a 2300 block manowar, due to the amount of armor and cannon blown up.
• Bananawhal – Minimal damage in the first half of the battle, was receiving sustained heavy damage in the second half from the Teletubbie
  • Recieved a lot of damage throughout the battle, yet her crew remained calm, lowered her underwater, and tried to repair her each time. Had most of her cannons knocked out quickly, and was fighting with hastily placed cannons on the roof until the very end of the match, when it turned out she was incapable of moving. Her wreck is now on display at the Freeport.
• Red Narwhal – Minimal damage in the first half of the battle, heavy damage in the second half.
  • Crewed for the most part by only two people, she did surprisingly well. When she received heavy damage, her captain decided to ram her into the Teletubbie as the Teletubbie’s cannons could not fire downward. However, she received a quick knock out when then Teletubbie untangled herself and shot broadsides into her, disabling her swiftly until her crew surrendered.
• Lone Ship – Heavy damage in throughout the whole battle, but was constantly being repaired by her crew
  • While the Teletubbie and the Royal Narwhal  were dueling in the first half of the battle, the Lone Ship was taking on the other two ships. Having lost her mast, and many holes in her sides, she almost went out after 40 minutes, but in the last seconds her crew got her moving again, and ran off to conduct repairs. It was only in the second half, where she was in the crossfire between the Bananawhal and the Teletubbie, she took so much damage that her crew could not fix her up, and she was declared out of the battle.
• The Royal Narwhal – Heavy damage in the first half of the battle and subsequently put of out action within 40 minutes
  • The one and only legendary ship, but luck was not on her side this time. After dealing some accurate blows to the Teletubbie within the first opening minutes, she was quickly overwhelmed and put out of action with sustained fire.

Next Ship Battle – Same time as this week, 8pm UK time, 3pm EST, Saturday 4th November. I will be making a separate post about this soon.
