You hit the enemy fleet pretty well sailors! The submarine and the destroyer went down, you put the battleship out of the fight and caused damage to the cruiser and the carrier.
All of you have been credited in the comments, I hope to see you back in the next battle!
Best regards,
Maarten
Aiming Phase closed, you can no more fire!
So I thought something up today. It's something between the game of battleships and a betting scratch card. I have no clue if it's fun but if it works I'll improve it over time.
This game is made up of two phases:
Aiming phase
I post an article with the "battlemap" (for now just an empty 10x10) and the including ships with their bounties. I placed ships somewhere on this map. Everyone gets 3 coordinates to pick which they can comment under the channel to try and hit my ships.
Damage assessment phase
The next day I will update the article to the DA phase. Here I will show the map with the ships and the shells that hit these ships. Every hit will be paid out to the ones who gave correct coordinates. If a ship is sunk the bounty of the ship will be shared among the people that hit it. After that the game is over and a new scenario will start.
So much for the tutorial here is Scenario 1:
Bounties:
Hit = 50CC
Carrier sunk = 1000CC + Endorsements
Battleship = 1000CC
Cruiser = 1000CC
Submarine = 1000CC
Destroyer = 1000CC
Good luck sailors, comment your 3 coordinates now!

You spotted the submarine but you failed to hit it before it submerged. You'll succeed another time you think as your blue ship dematerialises into the timestream.
OMG, I love your replies

You spotted the destroyer but it outmanouvres all your shots. The sailors on your shrug as "FOR HELVEDE" sounds from the bridge.

You come across an old looking tall-ship, when you get close you hear singing and the ships starts sailing alongside you. You get to the deck of your ship where all your sailors are already gathered at the railing. To your surprise the crew of the other ship is an exact copy of your own. The captain of the other ship shouts across the water and introduces himself as Shantyl0w. He tells you warships are not welcome in this waters and that you have to turn around. This is the last communication you have with the crew of the other ship, they continue singing their song that you now recognize as "what should we do with the drunken sailor". You don't change course and it somehow keeps sailing alongside you even when there is no wind. The first time you heard the song it was enjoyable, after 5 times it became old and after 248 times it has driven you mad. You order your gunners to shoot at the ship but the shells phase right through it. You have been cursed.
hahahaha
Can we reload?
Nope, in scenario 2 you will be able to aim again

You see the submarine on your sonar, you drop 3 deptcharges and hear a loud boom. Congratulations, your bounty of 1150CC will be transferred to you once you return to port.

You manage to hit the destroyer on the bridge, however it seems to have a secondary set of controls and it limbs away. When the sun is about to set you spot a large ship on the horizon, the battleship. You hit it once on a deckgun and then disengage before it can return fire on you. Congratulations, your bounty of 600CC will be transferred to you once you return to port.

You're not just captain Jack, you are captain "whiskey" Jack and you surely live up to your name. Your gunners probably could have hit that battleship a lot better if your orders weren't some drunken mumbling but they do manage to hit it once on the stern. Congratulations, your bounty of 50CC will be transferred to you once you return to port.

Hi Babe.
The tourists aboard your partyboat are not sure why they are sailing amongst a navy fleet. Their captain seems to be preoccupied with picking up chicks. During the ordeal 3 champagne corks get launched from your boat but they just end up in empty ocean.
Im shooting blanks??? 🙁

You spot the cruiser and you shoot your guns at it. Two guns fire, one hits but the third is jammed. After your chief engineer gives the firing mechanism a few good kicks there is a sound of a balloon snapping and a clown gets slung at high velocity from the barrel. You are still observing the cruiser with your binoculars when you see the clown landing softly on its deck with an opened umbrella. Congratulations, your bounty of 50CC will be transferred to you once you return to port.

The carrier was secretly transferring you, a super monkey soldier experiment, when it got into a storm. You broke free, went up to the deck, tore the canopy of a fighter aircraft and sat down. You try to start the plane and start flicking switches at random until you hear a loud metallic sound under you. A few tries later you take off with your plane from the carrier, you haven't even cleared it fully when the bomb you dropped explodes in the middle of the ship. I'll guess we'll grant you 50 bananas if you join our war effort.

You spot the battleship and whilst its turning all its cannons towards you you manage to hit it once in the super structure. The structure collapses and buries two guns. Congratulations, your bounty of 50CC will be transferred to you once you return to port.
D3, F8, I5.
You spot the destroyer limping home. You decide to be humane and force them to surrender. You order to put a warning shot across the bow. Your gunner hasn't taken the wind direction into account causing the warning shot to penetrate the destroyers ammunition storage, oops. Congratulations, your bounty of 600CC will be transferred to you once you return to port.
H9, C5, C7
You encounter several ships, but non of them feel threatened by your small sailship and your thrown onions.
Damn! Feels like the Battle of Blackwater Bay all over again...

You spot a perescope just above the surface of the water and you give the order to shoot. A cheer goes up, a direct hit! However when you come closer you notice a lot of wreckage in the water, you hit a piece of the already destroyed submarine. However you manage to salvage a few torpedos which you are rewarded 100cc for.
