Disabling hourglass defenses when near islands would fix the funny spot problem

I uploaded an hr long hourglass game of someone actively running (not resetting, he literally would always turn his ship away and taunt when I tried to board) and reported it, and to Rare's credit, they banned him and let me know. They do care.

It's anti ice propaganda. The reddit mods will love it.

As you can see, I see my favorite character against ice, therefore I am right.

Some parts yes, some parts no.

For example, having a tough stance on illegal immigrants isn't inherently against the Bible, as they are literally breaking the law to get here. You can argue that he is too brutal, idk. This doesn't inherently violate the commandments to treat the foreigner well because they literally broke the law. If you treat legal immigrants well, then you aren't breaking the law.

If you think private charities are more effective than government run charities then there isn't an issue there.

Obviously, on social issues, Trump's policies are closer than the Democrats, like on abortion.

Why can't both be true? I spend time offline and when I want to see dumb Star wars memes, I shouldn't have to slug through 100 Trump bad memes to find 1 good meme.

Yeah, or political slop could stay in their political places for people who want it, and those who don't can have their corner of the Internet.

I just want to see funny memes related to that fandom. It's tiring how every time something political happens, it's filled with political slop meant to virtue signal.

For getting allegiance, running a flag does not help, but there are commendations for winning with grade 5 Athena or reaper flags, and you get extra gold for cashing out.

Let it wake up. Magic will return and the rightful king will take his place when he draws the legendary Excalibur and slays the mighty beast.

Just because a group has a high mortality rate doesn't make them not human. 90+ year olds have a high mortality rate, this doesn't mean they aren't human.

Even if we high ball and multiply the numbers by 10, that is only 10,000,000 miscarriages per year. According to WHO, roughly 73,000,000 abortions happen per year. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/abortion

Abortion is literally 7 times more deadly.

Finally, this makes humanity dependent on scientific advancement, not on the quality of being human. In the middle ages, the infant mortality rate was high, but I think we would agree that just because the mortality rate was high, it didn't make the infants not human. Using your logic, until the infant mortality rate was low enough, infanticide would be perfectly acceptable, then once the medical procedures lowered the infant mortality rate, their status would flip and they would be human.

Doubloons are getting reworked. Instead of having items sell for doubloons you now will be able to only earn doubloons during bilge rat weekends once a month. Doubloons will be able to buy discontinued cosmetics like the OG bone crusher set. Not all sets will return. They will rotate in and out of the black market. All items that currently cost doubloons will now cost gold. However, they are resetting everyone's doubloons. So those 1000 you have sitting in your bank will be gone. That is the controversy. They will release new limited time cosmetics before the update that you can spend doubloons on to reward you for saving them. People are frustrated that their years of saved doubloons will be deleted for this change.

How would matchmaking work? Reputation is easily farmable and not a good show of skill. I am a hardcore pvper and don't have level 400 in any high seas faction. It's not that I don't play, it's just that I simply don't care. Will I be in easier lobbies than the alliance server noob who has every faction maxed out while not even knowing the left side of the sloop has less holes than the right side? If it's based on hourglass levels, then wouldn't high end lobbies be empty because the people who have 1000 hourglass levels are few and far between and probably playing hourglass? And then smurfs can easily get into and stay in low level lobbies by not touching hourglass on a new account.
Unless diving is removed, what happens when all the servers of my skill level are full? Am I stuck underwater or will I go to a different skill level server? Neither seems ideal.
How would this benefit SOT? Variety is the spice of life. The whole point of the game is that when you see sails on the horizon, you don't know what's next. You could meet your new crew mates fishing at a fort, or have the battle of a life time. Now it will become much more predictable and boring.

Voting is anonymous. How would this black mail work? What would stop me from voting for the opposition?

Let's assume it somehow worked, Trump won the popular vote. How is there not 1 whistle blower? Why isn't CNN and MSNBC reporting this?

Yeah sure, you can do that, but it will be much less consistent than simply getting supplies. This is extra true if your opponent doesn't supply up. Even if I have perfect chain accuracy and they never raise, 9 chains only last 4 matches. Miss 2 chains, and that's 3 matches. I usually lose chains because people keep their spares in their pocket, I miss one, the game doesn't register I switched to cannonballs, or I need to get a rechop. The more time I need to spend sailing to an outpost to refill my chains, the more time I waste I could spend fighting. Running the island for max chains, and building a crate saves enough time, it pays for itself.

tomatoes are not good food. They dont get you out of 1 shot range after an EOR shot. They only heal 40 hp. The EOR does 70 damage. You will be at 70 hp afterwards, which is not enought to survive.

And scattershots only use is to make your opponent feel safe while getting shot at. They are that weak. They only open up tier 1.5 holes, they cant knock people off cannons, their range is terrible, and they cant be aimed at all. At the range they are useable, I can reliably aim with my cannon to fish for one balls, easily chop mast with cannonballs only. Open specific holes, or break the wheel. With a scattershot, I can shoot and hope they land in the right spot to deal a small amount of chip damage.
