User blog comment:John Foulroberts/Norrington's Spyglass Released & Other News/@comment-71.213.22.147-20130430224820

I decided i was going to be a gunner most of the weekend, as it didn't make sense to take my own ship out and just crowd the oceans more than they already were. They said everyone aboard would get credit. Had i known i had to be at the helm to get credit for ships sunk i would have taken my own ship. Imagine if we had all taken our own ships out for this contest, it would've been horrible. The oceans were already crowded with ships, it would have been 50 times worse. Every ocean would have been plum full, lag central. It doesn't make sense at all to think this contest required us to each take our own ship so we could be at the helm and get credit. I was in the top 20 on the leaderboards everyday of the contest, never went afk and gunned the whole time, which was around 17 hours per day. I deserved that spyglass as much as anyone and i feel cheated!
