Have any of you seen the ships with stupid names? Whole bunch of them. Looks like a toddler banged out the name of the ship.

What is up with all this?

I think they are ships put there by players so they could be sunk. They just seem to wait there waiting. If this is in fact what is happening I think it is cheating. Someone could create a few ships, log on to check the logs, and move in and attack the ship just when she is about to sink.

Discuss

if they log in to check the logs, then it can't be sunk

*pops bubble*

I was thinking that you had to make a move for the ship to reset the timer thingie.

PM me the names you're thinking of and I can take a look and/or remove the accounts.

If there are any inappropriate names as well, please let me know.

When moving today I noticed a ship called 'ClaudeP'. If this is the same user as I think it is, then they spam all over the net. Not sure why they would have a game account though.

ClaudeP used to have a much more "suggestive" name. They do (or used to) actually play, though.

Yip I remember that name also, and have had to delete their spam from another forum. But if they're here to play then that's fine. I might just take all their gold, :lol:.
