Last night we were doing our usual fishing raid with about 15 PRX. We're at a sailfish spawn just off the coast of Yny, so somewhat valuable, we just chummed and could probably get a good 3 trips with our ~5 fishing boats. Then our scout says that there's a red cutter and a clipper together off the horizon, we tell the other fishermen to ruck up and get ready to fight. A minute later this clipper with ~20 LazyGamer members comes barreling into our fishing raid, we drop our fish and engage, most of the other boats just take off, but us, MH and Conquistadors are down to fight.
They crash through our raid and try to take a few boats but aren't successful, we then chase them around the fishing hole for a few minutes to pick off stragglers, try to get their anchor down and board. We are doing well against them but can't quite board them and then 12 OPP (red western guild) members join LazyGamers and bring the fight to their side. Eventually it's just PRX tangling with them, we don't have enough to make a successful board and defeat them, and they don't leave the ship to wipe us in the ocean. So we're just spawning clippers, chasing them and enduring cannon fire and killing anyone who falls off the boat. Our strategy was to kill stragglers then stop their reinforcements, it doesn't work. I then make the call to bring them closer to Yny to hopefully even the numbers so we try baiting them back. It doesn't work.
We then head back to where they are and they've found an unguilded Eastern cutter that they've taken over. We charge at it and it's at half health and I take the wheel. We load up the cannons and begin to engage in a slugfest with it that we are destined to lose, so I bait them back to the fishing hole where I'm hoping 50 death law are at by now. When we get to the hole there's only a few fishing boats and fishermen and I drag the enemy boat right into the middle and we attack. The other easterns runs and we aren't able to win there either, so I pull them toward Caernord's dock to look for reinforcements there. Halfway there I send a message to the owner letting him know his ship is safe, he's really grateful. We give it back to him and he despawns it, and the LazyGamer ship hits the coast. We tangle with them on the coast but Halcy starts and they port over there and wreck us apparently, I went to bed.
This isn't too special a story but man was it fun. This game has a ton of issues and the cheats are frustrating, but there's never going to be another game where this stuff goes on every day.
