New league suggestion. (Pirate league)

so you want Dvelve, just in a different setting.

@topic: This would also be a huuuge chance for GGG to push and optimize (or even start with) the guild- and/or party-system.

It would be cool if guilds could form crews and work together on their guild-ship.

For solo players or players without a huge guild there could be roles like a freelancer that can be hired as a part-time or temporary crew member, as a scout on the islands etc.

Maybe GGG could give us Sailor-, Explorer-, Scout-, Canoneer-, Navigator-Skills and so on, so that each player can specialize in a role and there will be synergies between players, guilds and parties?

Well anything would be an improvement on the throbbing testicle league.

Joking aside this doesn't sound half bad, which is exactly why GGG wont do it.

Ship-to-ship combat!

Landing on undiscovered islands and dispossessing their inhabitants of loot - so colonialistic and patriarchal! *gasps in geopolitics*

You and about 20 other exiles are in luck. You commandeer a galley together and sail off the Twilight Strand.

Although you are a motley mixed lot, it serves you well to cooperate to meet your needs.

Land Ho! But wait, it's only Oriath. Far too scurvy and wretched to put up much of a fight against the Oriathan Coast Guard, you play nice and just stop to resupply and sell some ill-gotten wares.

Same with Ngamakanui. Pickin' a fight with the Karui Merchant Marine would be bitin' off a wee bit more hardtack than ye can chew with yer bleedin gums. Re-provision here and clear off.

Ah, but other leaky tubs full o' scurvy Exiles like yerself abound in the high seas.

Broadside 'em and board 'em and battle cutlass to Cospri's to see who will rule the waves. Meantime, take captives with valuable skills and scuttle the shipworm-ridden flotsam they came in on.

As a pirate, you've got no boss. Ergo, no boss fights. But one. The sea, she hungers. Even without Tsoagoth reachin' up with his long pincers and takin' his tithe from the tides. You can lose everything in a bad blow. And then yer washin' up on the Shite Shore again with naught but a belaying pin and a tale few would believe.

I would like to counter with a ninja league, because ninjas are cooler than pirates.

PIRATES Vs NINJAS - DISCUSS!

No dice, mate, Pirates are waaay cooler.
On point - CANNONS. 'Nuff said.

Are we finally going to be able to use them fishing rods?
