The Challenge: Make an 80 point fleet based entirely on an assigned theme.
Rules:
-Only one fleet will be allowed per player.
-Assume regular Pirates rules for gameplay. There can be fleets of multiple nationalities.
-Ban List: Nothing is banned, including the Sleigh and Captain Whitebeard.
-Return to Savage Shores (RtSS) game pieces are allowed.
-Custom game pieces are allowed, as long as they were created before the announcement of this Fleet Challenge and they have finished artwork. (ex: no customs that don’t have art; digital-only art is okay if the game piece doesn’t have a physical version yet)
-Fleets must be fully legal for a game of Pirates CSG, but gameplay usefulness is not important. Embodying the theme is more important than winning games. Feel free to make your fleet coherent, but theme is king.THEMES!
BEAUTY, CHAOS, GREED, EVIL, DECEPTION, GLORY, THERMAL, SURVIVAL, EXPLORATORY, WRATH, WEATHER, ELEMENTAL (ex: fire/water/air/earth), REBEL
-More themes can be used if we get more entrantsJudging:
-The fleet with the strongest representation of their theme is the winner! How “good” the fleet might perform in a game is NOT the criteria! This is all about the theme and how well the fleet captures the idea of their theme.
-All of the fleets will be put to a community-wide poll, and whichever fleet gets the highest number of votes will be the winner. If there is a tie, another poll with only the tied fleets will be run; if there is still a tie after that, my vote will be the tiebreaker.
-Voters must review all fleets submitted for the challenge.More Stuff:
-If you want to participate in this challenge, reply to this thread saying so. I will use RNG to randomly assign you a theme.
-Post a link to your fleet in this thread or in the #fleet-discussions channel of the Discord server. Using PSMList is encouraged but not required.
-Fleet descriptions are encouraged – how does your fleet exemplify your theme?
-Edits after posting are okay if there are rules issues or other serious problems, but try to avoid any drastic changes.
-When your fleet is ready to be submitted, post a link to it here in this thread. You can use clever/”punny” fleet names if you want, but try to include the theme title. (ex: The GREED Fleet, etc.)
-Fleets are not meant to be pitted against other fleets submitted for the challenge for the purposes of the judging/scoring process. (no point in making a counter fleet to one someone else already submitted)
-Please post any questions you have in this thread.Prizes:
-I expect to send the winner a prize, but I don’t yet know what it will be. Ideally it will be a Rise of Atlantis Mega Pack, but TBD.
-Bragging rights.
-The opportunity to create the next Fleet Challenge.Deadlines:
-Submit your fleet no later than 11:59 PST on May 31st (5/31/2025).
-I plan to start the poll on June 1st and run it for 1 week, with a winner announced on June 8th.
-Reminder: The new time deadline for a fleet challenge from the day it is announced to the day a winner is determined is 2 months. The maximum amount of time between challenges will be 1 month – if the winner of a challenge does not start a new one within 1 month of winning the previous one, I or someone I appoint will start a new challenge. This means we will have at least 4 fleet challenges per year, with no year+ hiatuses.The winner of The Themes Fleet Challenge will receive a Rise of Atlantis Mega Pack! 🥳
One week remaining until the submission deadline!
