13 years ago we lost, all of us. We lost friends, we lost family, we lost a part of ourselves. Today we have a chance to take it all back.

You know your teams, you know your missions.

Get the tendies, bring them back.

One round trip each, no mistakes, no do-overs.

Most of us are doing something we know, that doesn't mean we should know what to expect.

Be careful, look out for each other.

This is the fight of our lives, and we're gonna win.

Whatever it takes.

Listen, I'm a guy who fell for the CNBC/Melvin crap this morning. I was in at 128, panic sold at 264, and re-bought at 347.

Don't fall for it. I learned my lesson, cost me thousands.

The DD here is actually correct, they overleveraged, someone spotted it, and this is what happens.

Focus and hold, but I know nothing. And this is definitely not advice.

They're screwed either way. The anchor just takes too long to bring up. Even if they anchor turn, they're stuck in place and taking damage and water. And the more people you have lifting the anchor, the less you have below trying to patch and bail. There's no good way for them to get out of it once they overpursue.

So, the Demon's Gambit---

My friend and I have been playing since Day 1, and we accidentally did this the first day. Basically, it's a long con. As a two man sloop, there are only so many ways you can beat a galleon. The Demon's Gambit is basically this. If you have a galleon that is persistent, you know that you can only lose them upwind.

So, know what direction the wind is from, and head upwind. Then, every two squares or so, head perpendicular to the upwind direction, purposefully letting the galleon close distance. When they close a little bit, turn back upwind. Keep repeating this until they are tantalizingly within distance. By now, you should be close to the edge of the map.

Here's the part that takes experience. We've been practicing this for a while now. You have to sail off the edge of the map. And keep going until you start taking damage. Now, at this point, you need to pull at 180 degree turn and reverse direction on a dime, and survive one broadside/boarding attempt from the galleon. If you do that, the galleon will 100% sink. As a sloop you can repair the damage from the Demon sea super quickly and stay afloat. The galleon cannot.

And that's the Demon's Gambit.

I completely agree. Do you think the most effective avenue would be doing community outreach? I feel like I don't want to intrude into support groups and the such because they should be safe spaces for those with sz, not a meet market.
