Sea of Griefing

Sea of Griefing

There are many things that some would consider "griefing" in Sea of Thieves.. Tucking on another crew just to heist their Fort of Fortune, to some, would rate among those things.

But it isn't always all that simple. As a matter of fact, all I was trying to do is go on a Tall Tale when I was attacked by a Reaper Emissary! So I figured it was only fair for me to start tucking on them in order to steal their Athena.

That's right, my friends, this is my first SOLO FoF Heist! I hope you guys can take away some tips from my first attempt at Solo Slooping in the face of overwhelming odds in PvP. Enjoy!

I don’t know why, but the storytelling makes it 10 times better. Keep on going!

Those two guys were the perfect example of "you can throw a punch, but you can't take any". They thought they were tough when initially attacking, but when someone actually griefed back, they completely fell apart. It was like watching Dumb and Dumber: Sea of Thieves Edition.

[Hatfright]

Knowing russians (as one myself), they probably were calling you slurs. Good job teaching em a lesson!

I've never played sea of thieves and thought the game was boring based off the little game play i saw before watching. But am so glad I did because This looked fun as hell. I think am a try sea of thieves out, Cheers cliff!

"What about merch-"
"...THREE. kinds of people."

I love the part where Cliff said “it’s griefin’ time” and griefed over everyone. Truly of the videos of all time.

This game, while having its fun moments, is way too aggravating for me and I get wayyy to worked up about it, due for the amount of time you sometimes have to put into this game, only for someone to come along and foil your plans. It’s very hard for me to stay calm in the game and i wind up choking so I had to stop playing.

[communistcommissar]

I love how you try to introduce new players to this game, the amount of people who joined the game because of one of your videos is incredible.

[HybridCasts]

It wasn't DEAF EARS!! hahahahaha I answered you! Eventually came to help! Think about how much more dull this would have been if I did join you earlier hahaha Amazing job man! Happy I could finally watch the tale you've been telling around the tavern!

Griefing is when you're going after somebody knowing that they have nothing to lose and you have nothing to gain from it other than their misery.
Ie. when you're sinking that sloop for the third time while they're doing their tall tale and you know they're doing a tall tail

[caelmarquard]

Average reaper: stacks capstan and chases tall tale sloop instead of going for fort of fortune...

[simearsov]

I love how you did the "I am not in danger, I am the danger" when those idiots were chasing you. Also, thanks for the subtitles, great editing and a nice tale, this is what I would consider a perfect YT video.

Cliff, you’ve been the inspiration of my sea of thieves journey and I really love you content. Keep up the good work

I just had a god-tier solo run. I started up SoT for the first time by myself, just planning on messing around and not doing anything special. Once I had gotten my bearings about me, I observed a world event in play, so I began to sail towards figuring something interesting would transpire. I noticed a ship there and prepared myself for diplomacy as I neared, but then suddenly the ship sunk out of nowhere. No players around or anything, so I quickly sailed over to see if there was any loot. There was a whole Ghost Ship event full pile just sitting there I could steal and sell with literally no effort. After I had finished that at Golden Sands, I noticed what I would later discover as a Fort of Fortune spawn in the sky. Not knowing what it actually was, I nonchalantly sailed over, once again not expecting anything out of it other that chaos and likely getting unceremoniously killed by some random player. I got there and...no one was there. I had never done a fort before, so I began the very tedious process of killing the endless wave of skeletons and getting blown up tens of times. It didn't matter, since my patience was steady and my ship remained steadily afloat nearby. After I had made significant process I noticed a sloop ride up directly to the island. I figured they were coming to kill me and that was it. I attempted to hide in a barrel but a gunpowder skeleton quickly exterminated me before I got very far there. By the time I respawned I fully expected my ship to be sunk, but when I got back on...there was no damage. I hopped back to the fort to see that they were gone. It was almost like I had imagined the whole thing. I later saw them sailing past the island, so I figured they were going to wait till I finished the fort and then snag the loot. Since I wasn't expecting anything out of the voyage and I already had been rewarded with a free ghost ship pile of loot already, I just decided to continue anyways and get the experience. Well lo and behold, an ancient skeleton spawns, giving me easy coins, and I continue to finish the fort with no players in sight for the rest of the time. I opened the vault up, gathered all the loot, sailed to the nearby Reaper's Hideout, sold it all, including a very nice Chest of Legends and Fortune, and nothing. No players at all. And the whole time I wasn't exactly being fast. It was my first solo expedition and by far the most successful and lucky run I've ever had lol

"And then my enemies sink themselves"
Rofl i cannot believe they embarrassed themselves without your help

[KENAXION]

I love that you so readily admit you're not good at PvP in every video, and yet continue to make them all the same. I suck at PvP myself, and I've been playing since launch. I get so embarrassed any time I die, or get sunk

One example of what I'd call griefing: Friend and I were doing part two of Pirate's Life, we were underwater and had just been introduced to the Kraken, then we were attacked by some mermaid NPCs. At the same time, some players showed up also and started attacking us. Fine, whatever. After a bit, we finished beating the mermaids and moved on to the next part of the quest to open a large door. From here on, those players continued to kill us, wait for us to respawn, and kill us again. We thought maybe they are trying to do the quest, so we took a 10 minute break on the respawn ship. After respawning, there they were just waiting for us so they could kill us again. There was no loot to gain or anything, they apparently just enjoyed impeding our progress. When your joy comes in this form, I call it griefing (and a very poor personality trait, I'll add).

I just found your channel and damn your really under rated man, your content is god tier.

[BushWhacker]

my favorite part of this video is when cliff says " this needs cliffing " and cliffs all over the place

I’ve been trying to share this story since it happened

So we had just done a fof (Fort of Fortune), everything was loaded, time to go to the reapers hideout to sell. We were a Rank 5 Reapers so we really wanted to sell. We started going there when a ship rolled up behind us. They started firing, so we ran because we had kegs and couldn’t risk a hit. We go in a really long chase going all the way from the left of the map, to the right. We were really tense the whole time, several boarding attempts from both sides, always stopped. We start to say, we gotta wrap this up. So I decide to do something. I jumped off my ship with a ancient black powder keg, light it, they try to shoot me in the water, I go under the boat, then BOOM! I blow up the mast, kill both of them and myself, and almost sink the ship. They get back, raise the mast, but we now have a massive lead. We accidentally go into the storm, then we look back. ANOTHER SLOOP ATTACKS them!! They sink!! 200, 000 gold sold!!!
