We TOOK DOWN a SERVER ALLIANCE full of BRIGS (Sea of Thieves)

so how does forcing people off their ships do anything?

Ohh they are hungarians i can tell… im sorry we hungarians are usually not like that. Ggs tho sir

lucky i never mean to make alliances but its nice

Good to see the legendary tales of Wiggy Stonks continues!

It’s Flam’s server too, legend

In my former experience with alliance servers, the server is "spiked" by having at least 20 people join simultaneously. Then everyone votes up the same emissary. If they then see five boats on the emissary table, they choose to meet up at an island to make sure the five ships are from the alliance. If they fail to have five members join on the same server, then they try again. Rinse and repeat until a server is established.
I was on "professional" and one official (literally endorsed by Rare) alliances though. I don't know how others do it. If they do bully people off of the server, that's pretty crappy. I did join one server once (outside of alliance, in standard play) where a ship came up to us asking to join their alliance to make that server an alliance server, but my crew and I turned them down. They were cool with it. We didn't mess with them, and they didn't mess with us.

I'm not arguing for or against server alliances, though. I stopped using them within a few months of joining them, because they were extremely boring. Sometimes you get crewed up with cool people who just wanted to chill in their favorite game after a long work day, but most of the time it's just people who want to grind; or swabbies who want to hit PL in three days without risk. And the server admins want you to stay on task. Do your voyages and nothing else. You're not even allowed to spend a little time shopping for cosmetics with all of the free money and renown you're getting. No shenanigans. No wandering about. If you're on a LotV brig, then you need to be doing Veil after Veil after Veil after Veil, ad nauseum. Super boring, imo.

I'm not at all against people finding their way on to an alliance server and fighting it. I had such occurrences during my alliance days. It actually broke up the monotony of the alliance grind. The people I enjoyed playing alliance with were people who were actually good at the game. They were down for a fight. It seems that's what we have here in this video; although it seems these guys aren't actually too good at the game until they switched out for people who are. Most likely the Discord mods, as – in my experience – they were the ones who were actually good at the game. =p
It seems most of the guys in this video were the types of people I didn't like playing with; the people who used alliance to circumvent the entire point of the game, and are therefore bad at it.

My main point is that there is a misunderstanding in how alliance servers function. They don't all bully people off to establish a server for themselves. The alliance servers I used to frequent put forth their own honest effort in establishing a server without bending others to their will. Having abandoned alliances, though, I would say they're still probably fine, I guess. All you're really getting is meaningless gold and renown. But you will NEVER, NEVER NEVER EVER, get good at SoT by restricting yourself to alliance servers. Hitbo and Green proved this and more in this video.

This video was absolutely amazing!

Seeing them go for the fotd stack over yoinking the chest of fortune from the fof really hurt me (unless you already have the commodation than I understand it)

Sea of thieves may have the bullying guys, but not too long ago I met 2 sloops who we allianced and stacked 2 forts of the damns. Some people are nice and just looking for a good day while others bully people off to have one.

Me and my friend where going into server, and we saw fof into sky. We went there, 3 brigs in alliance, and one sloop. We sink them all, finish the fof, sinked them again and sell everything. We didint believe we could do that with a sloop, but we did. The most epic insane battle ever.

Now need to go against full alliance of gallons

Love you Hitbo. But I think @ 1:34:00 you are kinda making an argument FOR server alliances. Hear me out…
Yes it is weak when they do it. But it gives players like you an opportunity to go in and tear them up too. Honestly I think it should all be fair. They can create server alliances. You can come in and wreck them!

Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this vid! Makes me wanna install this game again!

Dude that tdm was a bloodbath. That was so fun to watch

In my early sot days around 100 hours probably less I was doing my first steal and we got sunk but I was alive and fighting off a gally crew of pirate legends for this Athena chest it was a tdm bloodbath and I was coming out on top. I have no clue how my team mate either found another sloop but he invited these random people to a party with us and they came and saved me and it one was the best times I’ve had. Count that as inorganic if you want but my crew mates met them and convinced them to save me at the fort and we hung out on that session for hours after

1:46:33 I felt that excitement GOT EM’

35:50 Hitbo almost kegs himself with the keg he left at 9:00

I don’t think Alliances are bad, per se, but there should be a cap on the number of ships in an Alliance or a reduction in the shared renown to make Alliance servers a little less rewarding than they currently are. Also, being mad at someone for fighting your Alliance Server is real petty. 1 ship vs 3 is stacked in their favor every time. 1 vs 5 is insane, and if you’re losing, even against really solid players, that is kinda on you at that point.

It's really funny, that we couldn't sunk you this log.

Green “no GGs, get out of here” 😂 we love you Greeeeeeeeeen you absolute legend!!!

21:08 those dudes are hungarian LOL! I may even know them.

Edit: they were all hungarians. From the biggest hungarian server. Its basicly a kindergarten full of 12 yo kids and 40+ megalomaniac moderators. Its great you messed their server up. I plan on doing so too

as a person who goes to these organized alliances like every once a month ish (and was one of the people on this alliance) i don’t think it’s that bad to have them sometimes, it is 100% tedious but in 6-8 hours i can make 4-5 million gold with some cosmetics costing such a ridiculous amount i simply don’t play the game enough to get them. when i was really into SoT i could spend 10 hours on a duo sloop and only make like a million, which was more fun but like i said neither am i willing or can spend that much time on SoT. some things you said are definitely true tho. first is why streamsnipe? probably out of desperation for the couple hours of stacked loot, doesn’t make much sense to me honestly. the moderator who organized it came into our voice channel and started screaming that a big english streamer hopped into our alliance and to get ready to fight. another thing is people who exclusively play these, they are pretty sad, not sure how you find your gold going up more exciting than what happened here. i think that’s i? there’s probably of your points i missed but lmk.

What cannons did he use? 🧐

1:30:58 when that one boi swords his own teammate bruh lol
