@joby I think you misunderstood my post. I wasn't trying to rear the rudder off the ship but instead keep it stuck in position like an anchor.

I don't think I misunderstood? It just didn't go the way you wanted exactly :)

You described tangling up the rudder to stop the ship from moving forward, but the rudder on a pirate ship only changes the direction the ship goes--its the rather large sails that propel the giant ship forward. there isn't a motor for you to jam.

So I figured, your character is strong, the wind is strong, you are pulling in opposite directions, but I'm pretty sure a ship's rudder isn't made to be strong enough to have an anchor suddenly attached to it and stuck in place lol

Hence, your character not knowing his own strength in that moment and instead of stopping my ship in its tracks--you took away my ability to steer the ship.

The giant grappling hook thing is just to pull our ships together--if you decide that thats how that happens.

Lemme know if I missed anything!

cheers!

What I'm trying to say is that the ship is tied up to a rock underwater so it doesn't move. It being tied up to the rudder shouldn't change that. It's like how you tie a dog's tail to a tree and the dog can't go anywhere. They can still move since the tail isn't what makes it move but they can't go anywhere since they're tied up. It's the same thing with the shape.

@Emperor Cross :vonflame:

-THE REWRITTEN SAGA-
Cover Story;
THE PREWRITTEN ADVENTURES OF THE UNWRITTEN
-PART ONE: SOMETHING IS FALLING BUT IT ISN'T THE SKY-

Jimmy Frayzah can be seen in an unknown alleyway of an unknown town on an even more unknown island. The young red haired man is facing an old brick wall with his black cargo pants partially down, at first glance one would assume the pirate captain is simply relieving himself out of view of passing locals but the way he keeps turning around with a grin on his face and his constant giggling tell a completely different story. It's almost as if he's doing something he's proud of and wants to be discovered.

“Heh-heh-heh. If only you knew the things that were coming your way old friend, if only you knew.”

As he zips up his pants and walks away from the scene, the bounty poster of 'Fallen Sky', and former Vice-Admiral, Shaarib is left in clear sight on the wall and completely drenched in the urine of the former Rear-Admiral 'Mad Red'.
