Double post because holy shit.
Holy shit I don't know who else watched Pace's stream last night but it was some of the most entertaining twitch content I've ever seen
I tune in and he starts swimming toward a galleon in the Devils Roar and its apparent they that have hot mics. He tried hiding but they keep finding him. He easily outplays them and kills them and via their hot mics its becoming clear they are fairly new to the game and.... seemingly stoned. They are just laughing over their mics at trying to find this stowaway. At one point Pace eats up all their food and can no longer heal and eventually dies. At one point they called them hackers for sneaking on the boat without them seeing.
When he respawns back on his ship which was in the region the plan was to go over and sink them. However they found a rowboat on an island and decide to try the sneak again since they may have been doing a DR Athena Voyage. They rowboat over and manage to sneak aboard and tuck at the captains wheel. The newbies are clueless. So clueless that it actually hinders Pace's crew ability to stay hidden. They sail straight into a Volcano and the back of the ship catches fire. Pace is yelling (in private chat) for these guys to put out the fire on their own ship as tt slowly encroaches on the wheel. Eventually the fire did make it to the wheel so they make jump to the crows nest. They stay tucked there as these guys (once again, on hot mics) talk about making out under the deck and other hilarious stoned banter.
Eventually they sail to morrows peak as it erupts. They sail away from it and get caught by a skeleton galleon. At this point their boat is getting all sorts of fucked by volcano bombs and skeleton ships. Pace and crew are nervously sitting in the crowd nest dreading getting hit by the volcano or skeleton snipe. This crew is so inept they run out of supplies fighting the ship and resort to sailing to Roaring Traders and offloading their loot to get a new boat and come back.
The crew had loot in the crows nest so as they were climbing up paces crew had to jump off. Luckily you can climb onto a rock at the back of roaring traders... where they find a way too obvious to be accidental dick imprint in the rock. There's a clip of it being revealed by the moonlight which is perfect.

Eventually the crew comes back with a fresh galleon and picks up their loot. Pace's crew SOMEHOW manages to get back on board unseen. They sail for ancient spire to sell but there's a sloop there. This crew engages the sloop and kegs them. In the chaos paces crew decides to reveal themselves, kill them, and take their loot to sell at Ancient Spire. As they were fighting the hot mics picked up OMG the hackers are back!
However after fighting them and realizing how new and clueless they are they reach a ceasefire to explain to them how they snuck on their ship and stayed hidden throughout all that. They even proved it by referencing their hot mic moments like when they joked about making out below deck.
The guys were mind blown how these guys (they called them ninjas) were able to stay hidden on their boat for so long. Paces crew explains tucking and tells them to watch out for it in the future. They start referring to him as coach as he coaches them through attacking the sloop that is there.
The original goal was to steal their loot but these guys were so new and in such good spirits They let them sell their loot. One of pace's crew that died earlier manages to actually some save the day as a sloop was coming around for another pass. Pace's crewmate rammed them and parked right next to the newbie crew to pick up his friends.
This game is incredible
