Sink the Ship WR

Post it to youtube, even if it was a category here it needs to be on youtube or something first. As for getting it posted here it's not currently a category, we'd need to decide when time starts, what the rules would be etc. We'd also need to decide if it's worth running. Surely scuttling is the same speed everytime, or once the ship's at max holes it can only sink at a capped speed, so if you had 3 or so megakegs on a sloop there likely wouldn't be much variation. Link the video in this forum anyway though. I'd like to see it.

I agree with Toast. Until recently, because of the all the amazing runners in this community, there weren't many speedrun videos on YouTube. One of the first that was posted was actually a ship sink speedrun. I don't know if its still up or if you anyone has seen it but it definitely existed. It was lost in all of the "most treasure on a boat in a single full server with 5 galleons 20 pirates their mothers and the mother's butlers with 16 camels and a rolex" runs.

The issues I had then with the video and the issues I have now are as follows:

  • The hole limit on each ship is capped.
  • The sink speed of the ships are all capped.

Now, to watch the content would be great. Id like to see creative ways people can come up with to sink their own ships. I would absolutely watch a channel devoted to that, but I unfortunate don't believe its a viable run.

Hmm... maybe a run where you use buckets to sink your boat.... That could be a time-able thing.

The great thing is we can make this up however we want. We can change rules when a problem occurs. We can create and even abandon categories entirely. I LOVE the bell run idea, I like the idea of staying alive in the red sea, although I would think that's probably got a time cap on it as well, may be worth testing.

Annnnyyywaysssss... I love this, keep sailing, keep thinking.
