Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 On warships, the spirits were very carefully controlled and meted out - extremely carefully. Only in the last stages of a successful mutiny or if the ship was sinking would you see the sailors break into the spirit room and start getting drunk. While there may have been a small degree of drunkenness here and there, those found drunk on duty were usually subject to punishment. Having a "drunk" crew just didn't happen unless the Captain had been deposed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigand Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Having a "drunk" crew just didn't happen unless the Captain had been deposed. Or it had to be on pirate ships. There are some references to pirates on trial saying that free access to rum and/or gin was more or less what made them join a pirate crew. source: The Liverpool Privateers by Gomer Williams (1897). ~Brigand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be copied straight into the code of conduct for Naval Action! :-) ~Brigand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may have been more loose with the grog while others not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nornica Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I never play this game sober.So for me, drunk crew ability/skill/penalty is pretty useless.And thats one of the reasons why i wont and cant sail with the Navy xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-KM- Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I had one the other night - didn't end well .. Are you sure it was not a case of a drunk captain and not the crew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
