Him doing bad things doesn't mean he's wrong for pointing out when others are doing bad things. Now you're being silly.
Mad props to @Kresslack for taking it on the chin. It wasn't lacking before necessarily but I respect the man more today. Hope to see you back around.

Every additional ship adds an additional monster spawn. It encourages hunting as a group activity.
https://ada-young.appspot.com/pastebin/TgRRJk_d
Let me assuage a few fears by explaining how this works. The intermediate sea monster zone has a cool down per ship of about 10 minutes. It's per ship because if you and another person or ship are hunting in a zone, it'd be pretty unfair for anyone else wanting to hunt for your ship to control the are wide cool down. How this works is, sometime after you enter the zone, a monster spawns on an increased RNG following the cooldown. Could still be another 5-10 minutes because it's based on a chance to spawn.
So what we do is, one ship goes in, hunts the first sea monster alone and then another ship comes in and spawns a monster after the first ship is done. You're still fighting one monster per ship or one monster or 2=2. There's no increased benefit. Youre just increasing your chance to spawn them by having more people there and splitting your gold.
Lets be clear. It is impossible to do this alone so I am always splitting the gold. Also, people normally drag me out seamonster hunting because I'm lazy. I sure as shit don't like it enough to violate help multiplaying by using Alta. Almost always, Tianondria is captaining the other ship.
This isn't something that's too good to be true. If we're really turning it out, we make about 70-80k an hour total, meaning she and I are each getting about 35-40k a piece. That's a lot less than you can make hunting. Not to mention, most times we bring 2-3 other people which means we make like 15-20k an hour.
I do my best to report every ship bug that I see because I love seafaring. I play a bad character, but I put too much into this game to cheat at it. Please, leave me alone.
____ isn't a dick, that we know of.
Fresh to the game as I was, though not to IRE, before I even started playing I heard about how the cooldown bypass bug functioned and had the common sense to think it wasn't legit. That was just from asking an ooc friend about sailing because it seemed neat. As an experienced player, I don't know what mental gymnastics you are going through to acheive working as intended, but it is impressive to say the least.
Not everyone is gonna be shrubbed, and the game economy is going to take a good long while to recover from your unrepentant avarice and that of those like you. Everyone else has been relatively screwed by that. Meanwhile you post ranting about fairness and parity. Again, wtf.
You are angry? Seriously? We should be figuratively lynching you and those like you. Knock it off.
But you know what the great thing is? Now that the bug is fixed and the your lot is gonex we can hope to pick up the pieces. The gold will take a good long while to drain from the economy and some of it never will, but things will get better.
The 20th game anniversary provides a lot of means for the drain too, so that is nice. The extra gold is going to indirectly screw people out of some of the gold auctions, myself included.
So today, the world moves on without your recidivism, and that is awesome. Also you gave me material for something I am working on, and that happening is neat too.
Can't take the heat, keep your opinion and your trash talking out of the kitchen. Nobody even thought of you until you stepped in to do the same thing to people that you complain about having done to you - poke them.

And 'lo, on this day, did the Gods say unto Byakko:
I'm dying here. There's no way any of us will feel pity for you on some shit like this. I've put over 40 mill into one ship, and a lot of that was collaborative efforts, credits I bought myself or hours and hours of seamonster hunting. No one is gonna feel bad for you. The most I could generate is 100k an hour and that's with like 3 ships seamonster hunting simultaneously.
-----
I posted it after receiving multiple PMs from Byakko insisting that I should sympathize with her. As her friend I'm sad for her because I'm sure she has a lot of anger and regret but I do stand by my assertion that this was too good to be true as outlined in the help files. After multiple messages asking for my sympathy, this wasn't me poking at her so much as this was STOP, people don't feel bad for you because you benefited way beyond the pale. Also, you'll note that I admitted to using a fleet to hunt sea monsters and @Sarapis clicked like because it's not a bug, it's as intended.
I said please leave me alone because you're not actually responding to something that I said or giving an actual rebuttal, you're committing a character attack by accusing me of violating the rules and hoping that based on my reputation, the gods will banhammer me. Fortunately, that's not really how it works. Just like when new seafaring changes came out and I salvaged some long- derelict ships to test the changes, reported a slew of bugs immediately and went back to port. People were calling for my head, demanding that I be sh rubbed for griefing. If what I say is too mean or too far then say, you're being a dick. That's true and fair. Don't lie or stretch the truth hoping to get my character shrubbed. That should be harassment @Nicola
I wouldn't get too comfortable with thinking that just because Sarapis liked your post, you're safe though. The activity that got people shrubbed just recently, was apparently bugged at one point and the response was "working as intended." Clearly it's not. A good chunk, if not most, of the people who are leafy right now, don't feel like they were cheating. Some of them still don't.
I'm willing to bet they're investigating more than just gains from ship trades. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're looking at all kinds of gains, for any weird numbers. I'd be more surprised if we didn't see a few more random shrubbings in the next few days. I don't think the coast is completely clear yet.
I still stand by that if you don't want someone taking a swing at your neck, you shouldn't stick it out there. I'm rough around the edges, this I know (talk to me in discord and find out why), but I don't cry victim crap like "please leave me alone" if someone takes a jab at me.
On-topic: I'll admit that I was worried the administration had gone soft on cheaters. That fear was completely crushed when Sarapis came in and handled biz. It was awesome to behold, even though the reason for it sucks. I cheered from my desk. #faithrestored
Also Sartan going off on the early morning crusaders was incredible.

It isnt cool
Of which I declare official renouncement. Did not see eye-to-eye, but now think you're a solid guy. +1
"He is an avatar of Artemis. The bestial form of the Avatar of Nature's Wrath towers overhead, the commanding figure unapologetically dominating the area. Obscured by a constantly-changing maelstrom of Nature's Cataclysms, the one constant is the chilling, primal howl emanating from the being; an enraged coalescence of the sum of Nature's fury united in preternatural ferocity."

Think along the lines of "natural disasters" or similar.
