90% of my crashes have been cause by JAVA AND ITUNES UPDATES. It doesn't happen anymore, thankfully.

I suppress most updates until I'm good and ready to be secure again, MS added the terrible 15 minute countdown some years ago, and it's been the bane of my existence ever since.

You start studying the movements of birds to find where enemy ships are...

And succeed.

Explain faster, please. This could be more important than the drumbeats.

It's just conjecture right now, and it might be coincidence. Birds seem to follow ships, much like dolphins in water. If this is true, seeing birds flying in circles could mean a ship is approaching. I need to test more though.

Qwerty said that he knows how the birds' flocking works and all that. Maybe he could shed some light on this?

Wow you might be onto something, especially if they use the birds as tests for the AI planes.

That moment when you flare a pyramidion's balloon, and it continues through to hit the front weapon on the Goldfish directly behind it, as well as its hull, setting everything on fire.

For reference: http://www.twitch.tv/qwerty2jam/b/417985294
15m05s in, i fire a flare from the Not My Fault into both ships. I didn't even realize it at the time, but my god do I feel like a badass now.

That moment when you tell your slightly nooby teammates a 15-30 second battle plan, including which ships to hit first, and which to stay away from.

Then your Gunner just says "cool."

And you look off your port side and see a friendly Spire rushing his Heavy Carronade at the enemy Galleon's broadside. 


That moment when you jump on top of the main engine of a Goldfish for sh*ts and giggles and fall off the ship while still on top on the engine.

That moment when you try to jump back on the railing and your screen turns normal again.

That moment when your game crashes and your computer turns off 15 minutes before the tournament final.

Because of a Windows update.

That seems familiar...

That moment when you forget about windows update, and your entire computer begins an update cycle in the middle of a match...

(My computer is fast once it's up, but painfully slow at bootup!)

That moment when you think your ship can fit through that hole... And you're wrong.

That moment when you're about to epically ram an enemy and the match ends.

That moment when you're hiding in the clouds with two allied Junkers, only to find out your allies are flying Goldfish and are on the other side of the map.
