I would like to suggest that the book Higher Daddy, Higher be changed from providing 6 energy every 10 minutes to 5 energy every 8 minutes.
It’s supposed to provide +20% energy regeneration but having increments of 6 energy is insanely frustrating when trying to do things like use a refill or FHC and having to wait for it to get back around to an even number or waste energy by using a refill when not at 0 energy.
Im not eloquent, maybe someone else that has used this book can add their opinions.
We weren’t the strongest or the biggest team. We didn’t have the most elimination experience. What we did have was an amazing crew of Sea Men. Anyone that’s been at the bottom knows how difficult it is to sustain pushes over an extended period of time. Shout out to our entire council and all of the helpers for all of your work motivating the team, handing out supplies, running pushes, and doing whatever was needed to support our efforts. Thank you to the team for everything. Every member that made hits and contributed - you were amazing.
A special thanks to those of you who stepped up and helped with all the pushes at all hours of the night without being on the leadership team - Amran123, RogueSubmarine, WiseTheRumGone, and many more. You showed the true spirit of the team and the help you provided kept us alive when others thought we didn’t stand a chance.
September 13th at 22:00 was the last time we had any substantial amount of tickets. It’s now 4+ days later and we’ve not only survived for that many ticks but we’ve managed to take down other teams with us. We wouldn’t be where we are without our allies though - big thanks to Illuminati and GOAT - they were the only ones honest to us from the beginning, even after our team flipped on them initially.
Thank you Snowball, Jynnx, and yes, even Acock. Their initial work getting things set up and moving along was a necessity to bring our team together.
The BIGGEST thanks to mucho though. This guy barely slept, worked his butt off for our team, struggled with tons of messages about how we should do x, y, or z, and hung in there through it all. Im so happy we were able to work together, he is genuinely a good guy and made elim fun throughout all the stress and drama.
Good luck to the rest of the teams! Looking forward to seeing Illuminati and GOAT as the final 2 duking it out.
This is impressive! I only played poker for the honor for poker score, this is definitely not something I’d have the patience to learn or do. Great work!
Illuminati was a bunch of beasts but they had great direction from the entire leadership team. Congrats to everyone! Excellent work this year. So glad we can go back to holding hands again xD

Again, I was asleep when all of that happened. I didn’t even see the poll. I only asked for server ownership to be transferred when Snowball decided to step down due to his health issues.
You were nominated as A leader. Not the supreme dictator. It’s a team effort and you just couldn’t seem to understand that. I’m not even sure if you left or got kicked from the server but you’re welcome to rejoin it if you’re planning on continuing participating through elim.
I'm going to break down acock's story and provide some insight -
Nominated leader of Sea men this year by majority of votes.Took a joint roll with Snowball as he was second.
Snowball fell ill on Day1, Bones was the third most voted and i invited her to help. Unfortunately i could not fully trust Bones due to her defensive replies of illum. So i kept her out of the plans until it was in motion.
Yes, acock and snowball were "nominated" leads. I joined the team on day 2 and offered my help. At that point, Acock had also brought in Jynnx (his spouse) and mucho. Mucho supported me being added as a lead and I was brought on board. Except acock and Snowball were not sharing information with all of the leaders. All five of us discussed working with Illuminati and it was agreed we would pursue that. Meanwhile, I had no idea that acock had other plans. My "defensive replies" were because that was the alliance we agreed to pursue. I wanted our team to have a fighting chance, I laid out different options for the end game, and any time I asked questions to see if acock had plans, he straight up ignored me or deflected.
So, yes myself and other teams orchestrated a plan to take out the hugely stacked illuminati. Attempt to cut the head off the snake and bring elimination back a balance for other teams to have a fighting chance. And our best chance at a win. It was always risky but it was either yay or nay.
This was your opinion of our best chance for a win. Any other options that were suggested, you immediately discounted as being the wrong choice.
With a combined effort we all started hitting Illuminati bringing there tickets down. Sea men, Dongs, Short bus, lettuce, Pandemic, Cereal killers and Chicken nuggets. In which time i developed a migraine from staring at screens for 2days. Logged off for approx 3 hours. Logged back on to find Short bus and lettuce had turned.
If only someone had warned you that they were going to flip. Oh wait, I did.
However, Mucho then broke at this first struggle and the sight of us being zeroed. And bombarded negativity how Bones should take full leadership to sever ties with illuminati and become puppets again in hope for a place anywhere but a win.
I wanted to remain as we were, working on short bus at the ticks and steal tickets from illuminati until i rethought a new strategy. Bones wasn't having any of it and logged off for the night.
This wasn't the first struggle, the first struggle was you removing me as a leader for absolutely no reason besides the fact that there wasn't enough room on the team for you, your ego, and everyone else. That caused tension within the team and our allies stopped trusting us. I logged off for the night because it was night time and I needed sleep. It wasn't about me not having any of it, it was about the 3 hours of sleep I got the night before and the fact that you don't listen to anyone's opinions that differ from yours.
So i PM'd Snowball, told him the situation and that demotion needs to happen from the leader channel as i can't lead with the current manipulation. I put a poll on the sea men forums to let the guys decide who became leader and which way we wanted to go. Snowball then asked me to remove my poll and he would demote Mucho and Bones from the leader channel so we can move on.
I was clearly winning the poll with 82% of votes to remain as lead and fight on against illuminati despite losing a few lives hoping an opportunity presented itself. (i had a plan to try get other teams to flip)
After agreeing to Snowball on removing the poll and doing so i shortly had all my roles removed from discord.
A poll in the middle of elimination to decide who would lead is a bit of a joke. Congrats on your 82% though, i'm sure your version of events on the poll was just as honest as your version of events here.
Wish the best of luck to Sea men members for supporting me. We really were doing great.
And fair play to all the other teams who had the balls to fight against Torn's most stacked Elimination team. (hopefully ched changes things next year).
Edit: The mistake i made here was letting others in the leader channel to use them for discord tech as i'm not familiar with bots. As leader i should of owned the server. My f**k up there.
We are still going to do great and now our leadership team can work together and be honest about what is happening and where we stand. I appreciate that you tried to do your best, but I think you executed it poorly and putting the blame on mucho and I is laughable. The mistake you made wasn't letting others in the leader channel, it was your failure to communicate.
To all the Sea Men reading this, thanks for sticking with us. We're going to fight until the end and if we go down, we go down together. I'm too tired to make a good se(a)men joke so just pretend one is there.
