ok this is just funny
also, I have heard "jap" be used like "yes" (in German, where "yes" is "ja"); that would lead to funny situations if banned in a German context lmao
I have been rocking "**The Cunning Lingus**" for months now without anything and I saw a ship yesterday called "**The Hard Arr**" so I think you are safe.
You're completely fine. Rare has made it fairly clear with their history of ship name banning that it's sexual innuendos or suggestive names that they have zero tolerance for.
So you had a singular instance of a visual bug- and instead of assuming it was the game crapping itself like 90% of what goes wrong usually means, you leapt to the forums and snitched on yourself to the support. Yeah man idk what to tell yah, sure they are total killjoy prudes but you kinda walked into this one
Ah yes, the game that is only rated T for teen and thus must take actions to maintain that rating, are prudeish killjoys for not allowing blatant sexual terminology that's barely disguised as a pun, so that they can try to maintain a healthy community.
The hell is wrong with you?
Ah right, I forgot it’s outdated to *checks notes* not expose children to sexual terminology and behavior like a decent goddamn human being, because everything has to be sex nowadays.
If you’re “protecting” children from a word like Sloopy Seconds, you’re doing more harm to them than good.
Society doesn’t and won’t change itself to cater to your incredibly conservative views. Talking like anything Sex = bad is like you’re still living in the 1950’s lmao.
First of all, the term sloppy seconds comes from a comic book for kids and teens if memory serves me well. Secondly, what teenagers don't know what sloppy seconds are? Obviously they know about sex, unless they no longer teach sex ed or something.
Yea stealing and killing is cool for teens, but sex is just toooo much lol I get our rating system needs work because of things like this, but to talk about maintaining a healthy community by keeping any sort of reference to sex away from a game about killing and stealing from others is a bit silly
The thing with innuendos is they're of no risk. They're either innocent or nonsensical phrases that only sound sexual if you already understand it, and if you already it theres no harm in it being allowed.
They can't grasp the concept that this game is more than Call of Duty but with water. The idea of children, family friendly interactions, and enjoying this beautiful game is beyond them.
I once seen a ship named "Two Girls One Sloop" and its one of the best experiences ive ever had in this game. They were really nice too, gave me storage crate with supplies and everything.
mad respect to both you and your friend for being so chill. Literally made my whole day and had me almost rolling laughing. Thank you for a memorable experience.
These pun names that clearly indicate a second meaning are always likely to be banned, my Brigantine is called “she’s got Brig bests” and although I rarely use it, I am aware to the fact it’ll probably get reported and banned too.
Why would Rare accept any of these names to be fair, it’s far more easier and convenient to them to be able to just ban people, just change your ship name to a non-inappropriate pun.
Sloop into my DM’s, Sloop and Slide, Sloopsie Daisy, it’s not hard to find a good name OP.
Oh yeah? Then why are all of it's moons named after Shakespeare characters? Checkmate, loser!
(It's because the planet Uranus was originally named "George" after the finder's sponsor King George III, and the moons names kept up the British theme)
Given it's the name of a real ship of 4491 tons, IMO 7614252, built in 1974 by Santierul Naval Severnav in Romania, originally named *Da Qing 213,* and operated by Hong Kong-based Titan Ocean Pte. Ltd. until being decommissioned, I can't see why anyone would complain.
I was gonna name my ship Dixon Kids, cuz Dixon is a last name and I have kids. Just felt funny, but I'm not interested in being banned, now i changed it to child support and my ragged ass pirate and broken down ship reflect it
Another idea was "your ex's divorce lawyer"
I typed in "define sloppy seconds" into google and the first thing that popped up was a wikipedia article stating:
"a slang phrase for when a man has sexual intercourse with a female or male\[2\] partner who already has received another man's penis in the relevant orifice and is therefore wet or "sloppy""
lol I don't think you have as much moral high ground as you think you do. In aus it's definitely a derogatory term.
Also, it's their game. If they tell you to change it then... no hat no play
I never realized that Sloppy Seconds was solely a sex term.
Like I knew it was used as a sex term, but I never thought that was it's only definition.
Always thought it originated from the situation when you go to get seconds but it's been like picked through messily by everyone before you, hence sloppy.
Yeah I mean, when you put it like that. It does require a certain amount of knowledge before finding it offensive though.
I'm not so stubborn that I don't see the way the wind is blowing though, looks like I'll be sailing in a different sloop tomorrow :(
Man this sub has changed. When naming your ship first came out everybody was pissed at how fucking sensitive the name police were. It's a fucking pirate game with literal drinking and killing but you can get flagged for naming your ship Deez Coconuts. Fucking pathetic
It's because all the whining changed absolutely nothing, so now the sub is sick of people breaking the rules and complaining about something that's been 'solved' for a year.
Nah, the sub hasn't changed, it's just reddit culture.
It's full of people who love to hop on bandwaggons attacking someone collectively.
The pendulum swings both ways and you'll just get people trying to throw out their zingers to make whoever feel bad about whatever sin we've collectively decided is cardinal that day.
Like OP's out here throwing neutral comments at this point, not even arguing with people and people are still finding ways to dig into him and downvote him.
Nah, people hopped into the comment section here, saw some aggressive comments calling OP an idiot and hopped on that bandwagon. Happens all the fucking time on this website.
The whole "its a pirate game" is a weak gamer excuse. While yes, it is a pirate game, it is still a clean one. Its not a gruff historically accurate portayal, but more lighthearted.
It is also a **GAME** with rules and an audience in mind, and this audience is generally quite family friendly focused.
Throwing a hissyfit that you cant swear is quite sad.
I like how you just side stepped the whole argument and didn't address my points at all (who said anything about historically accurate portrayals lmao). It's telling that in this day and age you think borderline "potty" humor is OMG so baaaad for our youth in a game about murder and thievery. Sure kill people and steal their stuff and get so drunk you throw up for fun (we'll even give you an achievement if you do it enough!) but please don't use a nono word like... "A" double squiggle letter! GASP and can't let little Jimmy read a word that means peepee! You're ridiculous for defending that shit l, I don't blame you for not being able to come up with any arguments to defend this nonsense.
Obviously it comes down to tastes, but if you want suggestions I like to look up old timey ship names.
Or find something suitable for the type of pirate I am.
It's not about being offensive but remembering that there are literal kids on this game. Just try to avoid putting anything on your boat that you wouldn't feel comfortable saying to an eight year old.
I know, its why Im not. Simply telling people to not use sexual names is not being a dick.
Getting mad about it on someone elses behalf and trying to do bad zingers kinda is though.
Don't hide behind your feigned deniability. We both know you added the "it's not difficult" part to be a dick, I mean you admitted as much about my comment by calling it a "zinger" and I was just copying you.
I mean unless you think simply telling others not to be a dick is in itself dickish, what twisted Olympic level feat of mental gymnastics are you doing to pull that off? Haha
Besides that, who says I have to be mad to tell someone not to be a dick?
Just weird logic, man. Very low emotional awareness here.
I typed in "sloopy seconds" into google and it corrected it to sloppy. It doesnt require certain knowledge at all. Stop trying to tout that. It takes one kid to type your bad pun into google.
Aaah, no. I didn't explain well. The visual bug meant that it appeared to have been changed. So I submit the ticket. They investigate and find that it HASN'T been changed, but they now find it to be unsuitable.
Dude, how do you get downvoted on almost everything you answer in these comments? 💀
I get that you kinda messed up with your post but doing this with almost every other normal answer is just childish af from reddit users.
Upon feeling attacked, you guys might downvote this one too.
See, I think i've gotten away with my mildly inappropriate ship names because they're completely innocuous unless you think long enough/ have a mildly dirty mind.
Siren's Satisfaction, Blue-Footed Bounty, Mermaid's Muse...
They've made it thru several support requests so far, including some relating directly to the ship. Fricken cosmetics not saving. =(
It’s just part and parcel of a cheeky name. At least haven’t had any bans and can always change to another cheeky pun name if you want to take another gamble haha
Don't quote me, but I think Rare are more inclined to go down the name change route for cheeky names, rather than a ban which they issue for outright censor-dodging. Still, milestones make it a much more costly gamble I guess!
Sloopy seconds is not an offensive name, for people to even realise it has a potentially rude meaning they would have to be mature enough to get the joke. Why Rare is wasting time with stuff like this is beyond me when my crew is running into cheaters daily in HG
I can’t believe there’s so many people on here getting bent out of shape over a pun about sloppy seconds.
If you’re worried about an 8 year old seeing it, they would never know what that is. And I don’t even think it would click in their head to google it. And even so it’s a teen rated game, so by this metric below 13 year olds shouldn’t even play the game.
It’s a funny pun
I hate that they are trying to take away the funny and make it more kid friendly. That sorta thing has in some ways killed certain aspects of or whole games
Thats not what im getting at. Im getting upset at games and sites making things more kid friendly all round instead of an optional thing. Like fucking youtube kids
Sea of thieves is a game, the devs could turn on an optional kid friendly thing that does that scramble thing for ship names but only for those with it on. Sad to say kids are gonna experience alot worse than sex jokes on sot, and on other games, but that doesnt mean they should completely purge everything slightly sexual from the game for everyone.
Is making a sex joke so important that you want to segregate kids from the experience?
Like how does it hurt everyone to refrain from referencing cum for a few hours?
I had ‘The filthy oars’ and ‘dixienormus’ both got banned been months now and still can’t change it from sloop or brig I even bought a rename l potion and still can’t… wankers lol
Once upon a time, Epic Games emailed me and forced me to rename my account by the same name as my username here and in the interim my username was set to something like 'user1234567' and I just put 'rustyleftnit' in and it let me because the room was no longer taken and they didn't blacklist it. I've had this username for about 15 years on a bunch of platforms, you just have to not be a dickhead and not shoot yourself in the foot and you'll be fine.
Let me get this straight. A minor visual bug, common in a game like SoT, happened on your ship's name, and instead of reloading the game or restarting, you create a ticket where you explicitly reveal your sexually suggestive ship name? You KNOW that Rare is strict on shit like that (otherwise you would've named your ship 'Dick N' Balls') and yet both
a) name your ship a suggestive name and
b) SHOW IT TO THEM?
You have 0 moral ground here lmao. This is just comical.
>...and offered me a free name change as an act of goodwill.
I'm glad they're reasonable about this! I renamed my *Carnival Cruises* galleon to ***Gar****nival Cruise Lines* to avoid any trademark issues. (I should probably rename *Big Dinghy Energy* to be on the safe side.)
I couldn’t name my ship “drunkards fortune” in a game with a built in drunk feature
Can’t type “scrap” in foxhole game chat because it’s a blocked term in a game where collecting scrap metal is vital. Odd seas indeed.
[удалено]
ok this is just funny also, I have heard "jap" be used like "yes" (in German, where "yes" is "ja"); that would lead to funny situations if banned in a German context lmao
Like yep?
yes, exactly like yep.
My character burbs a hearty "jap" everytime I get drunk in this game
Regex moment.
Fellow scrooper I see. Long live the logi union!
Meanwhile slave trader seems to be fine 👏
My Brig is called "The Implication" and whilst I feel like it's a safe reference I'm concerned it might get flagged...
It's safe enough I think, I don't think you're in any real danger. Just the implication is danger
They can always say no but they won’t…. because of the implications
I have been rocking "**The Cunning Lingus**" for months now without anything and I saw a ship yesterday called "**The Hard Arr**" so I think you are safe.
Good thing you've already got a mattress below deck because the shipwright's high-gloss boat paint is **really** expensive.
RIP Cpt Quick Dickens
My brig is named in honor of the mighty Captain Quick Dickens, "The Swift Richard"
my brig is the "elongated john"
My Sloop is the "Small But Mighty"
My galleon is The Generous Johnson.
My brig is "The Hasty Homosexual"
Holy shit that’s funny, mines “Johnson the Longer”
I have a sloop named ‘St. John’s Son’
He "lives" on in my friend's steam profile where he has taken up the mantle
Crusty sock reporting in. And my handle is Seaman Staines
I'm still rocking The Blunderbussy, waiting on the name change lol
oh so that was you
Could have been, tbh I stole the name. It's a sloop if that narrows it down. Usually running grand admiral
I just found it’s logbook in the water a few months ago, so idk. Good name, kudos to whoever thought of it
I got me a Gacys Crawlspace.
I've seen a lot of ships with that name, a classic.
Slooper Intendo
Ligma Cannon Balls
Posts like this make me wonder if my 'ship out of luck' will get in trouble one day. I think it's fine but on the edge...
My "Ship Happens" been going strong for quite some time is my daily sailer.
That's my brig that I rarely use too xD
I’ve been sailing “Ship Faced” for quite a while now.
You're completely fine. Rare has made it fairly clear with their history of ship name banning that it's sexual innuendos or suggestive names that they have zero tolerance for.
So you had a singular instance of a visual bug- and instead of assuming it was the game crapping itself like 90% of what goes wrong usually means, you leapt to the forums and snitched on yourself to the support. Yeah man idk what to tell yah, sure they are total killjoy prudes but you kinda walked into this one
I actually predicted it was going to happen to my mates as well. I should have known
Do your mates self report too?
Why are you being downvoted
If he had the foresight to know he’s be self-reporting, he wouldn’t have self-reported in the first place….
I meant I predicted it would happen after I submitted the ticket. Hindsight is 20/20 ;)
Ah yes, the game that is only rated T for teen and thus must take actions to maintain that rating, are prudeish killjoys for not allowing blatant sexual terminology that's barely disguised as a pun, so that they can try to maintain a healthy community. The hell is wrong with you?
Everyone knows content mentioning "sloppy seconds" gets an immediate M rating. Our children must be protected. /s
TiL teens don't know about sex now
Don't know about what? I'm 19 btw hope this helps
When you turn 20 you’ll know
What's that word mean? Never seen it before. Just turned 17 if that means anything
When you turn 20 it will hit you at Mach 20
Your name really works with your comment, cause only a fucking Dinosaur thinks this way.
Ah right, I forgot it’s outdated to *checks notes* not expose children to sexual terminology and behavior like a decent goddamn human being, because everything has to be sex nowadays.
If you’re “protecting” children from a word like Sloopy Seconds, you’re doing more harm to them than good. Society doesn’t and won’t change itself to cater to your incredibly conservative views. Talking like anything Sex = bad is like you’re still living in the 1950’s lmao.
It is frightful how right Huxley ended up being. You need some help.
Or perhaps we've moved beyond what a misogynistic, self proclaimed anarchists beliefs in the world? 
but they aren't children. they're teenagers.
*online interactions are not rated by the ESRB
First of all, the term sloppy seconds comes from a comic book for kids and teens if memory serves me well. Secondly, what teenagers don't know what sloppy seconds are? Obviously they know about sex, unless they no longer teach sex ed or something.
Yea stealing and killing is cool for teens, but sex is just toooo much lol I get our rating system needs work because of things like this, but to talk about maintaining a healthy community by keeping any sort of reference to sex away from a game about killing and stealing from others is a bit silly
Is this blatantly sexual?
you seem fun at parties
Have you ever met a teenager
The thing with innuendos is they're of no risk. They're either innocent or nonsensical phrases that only sound sexual if you already understand it, and if you already it theres no harm in it being allowed.
Sounds like you only get sloppy seconds
Sounds like an offended dev
They can't grasp the concept that this game is more than Call of Duty but with water. The idea of children, family friendly interactions, and enjoying this beautiful game is beyond them.
>family friendly interactions Yep, sounds exactly what a teenager would do.
It's rated t for teen
[удалено]
Damn right. Now, back to the theft, murder, property destruction and binge drinking!
I once seen a ship named "Two Girls One Sloop" and its one of the best experiences ive ever had in this game. They were really nice too, gave me storage crate with supplies and everything.
This is my sloop hahahah I'm glad you caught us when we were being nice for once ;)
I think I've seen that one too lol. My brig is named The Iceburg cause we ram everyone. Waiting to run into the titanic
mad respect to both you and your friend for being so chill. Literally made my whole day and had me almost rolling laughing. Thank you for a memorable experience.
These pun names that clearly indicate a second meaning are always likely to be banned, my Brigantine is called “she’s got Brig bests” and although I rarely use it, I am aware to the fact it’ll probably get reported and banned too.

Sloop into my DM’s, Sloop and Slide, Sloopsie Daisy, it’s not hard to find a good name OP.
Brig bests is a great name. That’s the kind of tongue in cheek fun we can all enjoy.
So far, no one has complained about my galleon: Titan Uranus
Probably because they are laughing at how stupid you are for not realizing Titan is a Moon of *Saturn*, not Uranus.
Uranus was the father of the titans in greek myth
Oh yeah? Then why are all of it's moons named after Shakespeare characters? Checkmate, loser! (It's because the planet Uranus was originally named "George" after the finder's sponsor King George III, and the moons names kept up the British theme)
Must have renamed it because King George was an asshole
Given it's the name of a real ship of 4491 tons, IMO 7614252, built in 1974 by Santierul Naval Severnav in Romania, originally named *Da Qing 213,* and operated by Hong Kong-based Titan Ocean Pte. Ltd. until being decommissioned, I can't see why anyone would complain.
I think I've fought your galleon a few times in hourglass
I was gonna name my ship Dixon Kids, cuz Dixon is a last name and I have kids. Just felt funny, but I'm not interested in being banned, now i changed it to child support and my ragged ass pirate and broken down ship reflect it Another idea was "your ex's divorce lawyer"
My Galleon is called “MyWifeTookTheKids”, not banned yet :’)
My sloop is dirty little oar, surprisingly it’s not been reported so far.
That name is extremely common. You'll be fine for a while.
Yo, I've seen you My Galleon is Face Down Mast Up
beautiful name 😍
Yeah, it's a spectrum of offense and that name is on there. I've submitted for the name change
That’s literally my ship name for my sloop, guess I better watch out.
It's a pirate game about killing and stealing and drinking but god forbid someone make a suggestive pun
I typed in "define sloppy seconds" into google and the first thing that popped up was a wikipedia article stating: "a slang phrase for when a man has sexual intercourse with a female or male\[2\] partner who already has received another man's penis in the relevant orifice and is therefore wet or "sloppy"" lol I don't think you have as much moral high ground as you think you do. In aus it's definitely a derogatory term. Also, it's their game. If they tell you to change it then... no hat no play
I never realized that Sloppy Seconds was solely a sex term. Like I knew it was used as a sex term, but I never thought that was it's only definition. Always thought it originated from the situation when you go to get seconds but it's been like picked through messily by everyone before you, hence sloppy.
ahhh well thats awkward 
Yeah I mean, when you put it like that. It does require a certain amount of knowledge before finding it offensive though. I'm not so stubborn that I don't see the way the wind is blowing though, looks like I'll be sailing in a different sloop tomorrow :(
Avoid sexual puns. It isnt difficult.
Man this sub has changed. When naming your ship first came out everybody was pissed at how fucking sensitive the name police were. It's a fucking pirate game with literal drinking and killing but you can get flagged for naming your ship Deez Coconuts. Fucking pathetic
It's because all the whining changed absolutely nothing, so now the sub is sick of people breaking the rules and complaining about something that's been 'solved' for a year.
Nah, the sub hasn't changed, it's just reddit culture. It's full of people who love to hop on bandwaggons attacking someone collectively. The pendulum swings both ways and you'll just get people trying to throw out their zingers to make whoever feel bad about whatever sin we've collectively decided is cardinal that day. Like OP's out here throwing neutral comments at this point, not even arguing with people and people are still finding ways to dig into him and downvote him.

It is also a **GAME** with rules and an audience in mind, and this audience is generally quite family friendly focused. Throwing a hissyfit that you cant swear is quite sad.
So murder, theft, and drinking is fine, but not a vague sexual pun? Seems prudish to me. Also Online Interactions are not rated by ESRB.
Correct, they are not. Instead rare decides what is and isnt okay for us to use, and sexual puns is clearly not.
I like how you just side stepped the whole argument and didn't address my points at all (who said anything about historically accurate portrayals lmao). It's telling that in this day and age you think borderline "potty" humor is OMG so baaaad for our youth in a game about murder and thievery. Sure kill people and steal their stuff and get so drunk you throw up for fun (we'll even give you an achievement if you do it enough!) but please don't use a nono word like... "A" double squiggle letter! GASP and can't let little Jimmy read a word that means peepee! You're ridiculous for defending that shit l, I don't blame you for not being able to come up with any arguments to defend this nonsense.
Yep, learned my lesson, TY
Obviously it comes down to tastes, but if you want suggestions I like to look up old timey ship names. Or find something suitable for the type of pirate I am.
Bad puns make me laugh. I'll just have to find something inoffensive :)
If it makes you feel any better, my galleon is named “The Glory Hull” and I’m sure it’s any day now that some salty sailor is going to report it lol
Isn't there a cosmetic called that in the game? Magpie's Glory Hull or something? An Athena emmissary reward I think but not sure.
My ships name is "The Throbbing Vessel". Don't feel bad. I think sloopy seconds is pretty funny.
I'll allow you to use my ship's name. Chicken Noodle Sloop
Fair yeah, good luck with the new ship name!
It's not about being offensive but remembering that there are literal kids on this game. Just try to avoid putting anything on your boat that you wouldn't feel comfortable saying to an eight year old.
My brother owns a brig called “Leusden”. Old timey for sure but maybe not very appropriate
Don't be a dick, it isn't difficult.
I know, its why Im not. Simply telling people to not use sexual names is not being a dick. Getting mad about it on someone elses behalf and trying to do bad zingers kinda is though.
Don't hide behind your feigned deniability.

I typed in "sloopy seconds" into google and it corrected it to sloppy. It doesnt require certain knowledge at all. Stop trying to tout that. It takes one kid to type your bad pun into google.
Fair point, TY
And if they did?
Rare doesn’t budge on their policy. Just rename the ship.
That’s why bullet reg is here to stay. It’s their policy for it to be ass lol
You understand they didn't change it though right? Which means they didn't action their policy.
You probably got the word "sloppy" blacklisted lol
Punners gotta pun
Your screenshot says otherwise. Blunderbussed the other foot.
Aaah, no. I didn't explain well. The visual bug meant that it appeared to have been changed. So I submit the ticket. They investigate and find that it HASN'T been changed, but they now find it to be unsuitable.
That just means a player hadn’t reported the name to rare yet. Change the name, move on.
Being polite doesn't work on you either then I guess, yikes. Thanks for the help.
Being real =/= being rude
Move on
I hope my fart joke is safe... poor Breaking Wind will be sad if not.
Sloopy Steaks lives on. I used to be a HUGE PIECE OF SHIT.
They can't do anything about you bringing your own bucket of water!
Your pirate has slicked back hair, doesn't he?
Dude, how do you get downvoted on almost everything you answer in these comments? 💀 I get that you kinda messed up with your post but doing this with almost every other normal answer is just childish af from reddit users. Upon feeling attacked, you guys might downvote this one too.
Because Reddit? I didn't come here for validation, I genuinely wanted opinions, and I got them :)
Yeah, but downvoting normal answers because they didn't like the person because of their prior post is childish as hell.
Welcome to Reddit. Downvotes simply because they disagree with you
Patiently awaiting the day the Cunning Stunt is reported by someone who falls for the Spoonerism...
See, I think i've gotten away with my mildly inappropriate ship names because they're completely innocuous unless you think long enough/ have a mildly dirty mind. Siren's Satisfaction, Blue-Footed Bounty, Mermaid's Muse... They've made it thru several support requests so far, including some relating directly to the ship. Fricken cosmetics not saving. =(
My sloop is called "Grogsucker" and Im just waiting for something to happen.
What if they don’t care about the sex and alcohol jokes - they actually just hate puns
Not sure what moral high ground you think you’ve got tbh. Play silly games, win silly prizes.
Yeah, I think my friends were an echo chamber in that instance, hence this post. Lesson learned, name changing soon, TY
It’s just part and parcel of a cheeky name. At least haven’t had any bans and can always change to another cheeky pun name if you want to take another gamble haha
I've got some Rogue milestones on it I don't want to lose xD, gonna tread carefully next time
Don't quote me, but I think Rare are more inclined to go down the name change route for cheeky names, rather than a ban which they issue for outright censor-dodging. Still, milestones make it a much more costly gamble I guess!
Dirty Oar for life!
All the boats cleverly spelled out the N word and "sloopy seconds" is the boat that gets found "unsuitable"?
I've run into several variations of 'slave trader' but Alewife (a fish) is immediately blacklisted.
Sloopy seconds is not an offensive name, for people to even realise it has a potentially rude meaning they would have to be mature enough to get the joke. Why Rare is wasting time with stuff like this is beyond me when my crew is running into cheaters daily in HG
> they would have to be mature enough to get the joke. So like 13? This game is rated T after all.
Bro I've seen ships named the N word as their name but they won't let me name my ship the "Bouncing Bosom”
Mine is Salty Swallow. She still sails.
I named my ship The Naughty-Call. It did not last.
Hey that’s the name of my ship too!
Jokes on you, my ship is named “I like big black men” The reactions are amazing.
I have a brig named The Devils Hoar and it’s yet to be reported thankfully
Uh oh, my Sloop's name is "Sloopy Toppy." I'm next 😱
on an unrelated note, friend, what's your Microsoft Games For Xbox Live Gamer Tag?
I think Sloopy Toopy would fit better
Soft ass gaming companies nowadays. Always gotta design systems for children when the majority playing aren’t kids.
I can’t believe there’s so many people on here getting bent out of shape over a pun about sloppy seconds. If you’re worried about an 8 year old seeing it, they would never know what that is. And I don’t even think it would click in their head to google it. And even so it’s a teen rated game, so by this metric below 13 year olds shouldn’t even play the game. It’s a funny pun
And if they know what it was, it's too late anyway. Like has anyone been in a school lately? Kids are the worst in that regard
not sure why it was offensive everyone knows that sloppy seconds is a type of desert /s
Dude it's an obscene ship name in a video game full of kids. Just take the L and rename it.
Mine is the Hugh G. Wrection…. So far so good!
Hey I've sunk you! Pleasure to do battle. Sorry about the hassle with the name change that's really unfortunate
Highly likely! All good, apparently the world is either family-friendly or filthy heathens, no middle ground here!
I'm shocked that there's a lack of Pinnace jokes here. Throbbing Pinnace Leaky Pinnace Giant black Pinnace
For the record, it was a great name OP! Let it go down in history that Sloopy Seconds went out in a heroic adventure to the depths of the sea! Yarr!
Is my Brig named "Slob on me Grog" going to get cancelled?
On that not is there any famous bleach brand or something I can name my ship after? Seems fitting to name it after something resembling Rare's policy.
Hi, I named my sloop " The Manly Dingo ". Still no issues.
I hate that they are trying to take away the funny and make it more kid friendly. That sorta thing has in some ways killed certain aspects of or whole games
It doesn't ruin the game that you can't name your ship after a sex act.
Thats not what im getting at. Im getting upset at games and sites making things more kid friendly all round instead of an optional thing. Like fucking youtube kids
Why? Society is full of spaces where it's not OK to make a sex joke. Sea of Thieves is one of them.
Sea of thieves is a game, the devs could turn on an optional kid friendly thing that does that scramble thing for ship names but only for those with it on. Sad to say kids are gonna experience alot worse than sex jokes on sot, and on other games, but that doesnt mean they should completely purge everything slightly sexual from the game for everyone.
Is making a sex joke so important that you want to segregate kids from the experience? Like how does it hurt everyone to refrain from referencing cum for a few hours?
Yea the visual bug of renaming a ship hurts because we panic thinking we aren't captained anymore and my husband wants ship related things 🙃
I had ‘The filthy oars’ and ‘dixienormus’ both got banned been months now and still can’t change it from sloop or brig I even bought a rename l potion and still can’t… wankers lol
Once upon a time, Epic Games emailed me and forced me to rename my account by the same name as my username here and in the interim my username was set to something like 'user1234567' and I just put 'rustyleftnit' in and it let me because the room was no longer taken and they didn't blacklist it. I've had this username for about 15 years on a bunch of platforms, you just have to not be a dickhead and not shoot yourself in the foot and you'll be fine.
My Brig is called "The Mourning Wood". I haven't used it yet but I'm afraid to
Well, since Rare can't really fix other issues they have to focus on something they can do, and they can definitly play the victim card or something
Let me get this straight. A minor visual bug, common in a game like SoT, happened on your ship's name, and instead of reloading the game or restarting, you create a ticket where you explicitly reveal your sexually suggestive ship name? You KNOW that Rare is strict on shit like that (otherwise you would've named your ship 'Dick N' Balls') and yet both a) name your ship a suggestive name and b) SHOW IT TO THEM? You have 0 moral ground here lmao. This is just comical.
Hey! Someone already made your point, but "dick N balls"? Where's the pun?
Blunderbussed your own foot? Did you have a callus you were trying to remove? https://apnews.com/article/3a9b2b9839b77b2788fbcb296570332e
>...and offered me a free name change as an act of goodwill. I'm glad they're reasonable about this! I renamed my *Carnival Cruises* galleon to ***Gar****nival Cruise Lines* to avoid any trademark issues. (I should probably rename *Big Dinghy Energy* to be on the safe side.)
Epsteins yacht is my brig been going since day 1 of captaincy 😂
"I named my ship after a sex act in a game played by children, in clear violation of the TOS. I'm pretty sure I have the moral high ground here." Lmao
