So, for the third year in a row, I participated in
battleshipex! I also volunteered for a mod team role and was the First Made (assistant captain/mod) of my team, Pear, with my friend Leaf captaining! I had an absolute blast playing, our team was amazingly positive and excited, and I completely outdid myself this year! I made so many things, and my team was so great! I love everyone in this bar!
(I wish I could say I looked forward to participating and modding next year, but unfortunately, things that happened in mod chat during and especially after the game really soured my experience, and I do not see myself going back next year. In the grand tradition of schisms, I plan on making my own insteadwith blackjack and hookers.)
2023 post, 2024 post
Here's everything I made in a chonky table:
(wc is word count, wc equiv is how many points of boss hp the work chunked off, tags is how many tags I claimed for the board phases)
In the past year(s), I've gone off M/M, which shows; this year was mostly gen art for the bosses and F/F and F/M OW porn for the boards. (What can I say? Titcubines are very inspiring.) I wrote 30.8k for Battleship! That's more than I wrote all last year! I made gifts for 22 separate people! And apart from one work, all my board fics were maximally tag efficient, giving me a board phase tag efficiency of 97% for works with words! (I did also make a board art for the first time, so technically I have over 100% tag efficiency? xD)
For some year on year stats:
So my increase in battleship power from 2023 was some wordcount increase, but a lot of tag efficiency increase, which makes sense. I made fewer boss points this year, but tbh that's just because I didn't feel like I had to carry the rest of the team on my back through the boss phases and everyone else murdered it too fast. I do think that if the boss falls on a weekend, I could get to past 15k per boss. (This year I did 11.7k on boss 2 and 6.3k on boss 1.)
For me, I find that OW porn is the easiest thing to start with to hit the bonkers necessary Battleship tag combos. I also tracked my top tags! Including the tags for the anon period rare tag bingo works (which also counted for Team Pear's bonus board), I made 306 tag claims:
(read: there were three tags that EP claimed 6 times over EP's works)
Here's the tags:
6 times each: Lactation, Pregnancy, Wedding Night
5 times each: Breast Expansion, Breeding Kink, Clothed Sex, Cunnilingus, First Time, Squirting
4 times each: Ambiguous/Open Ending, Bad Sex, Forced Marriage, Forced to Penetrate, Meet-ugly, Morning Sex, Outdoor Sex, Public Sex
3 times each: Anal Sex, Boob Groping, Dubious Consent, Fingerfucking, Fpreg | Female/Female Pregnancy, Missionary Sex, Non-Consensual Body Modification, Nose Kisses, Objectification, Pegging, PIV sex, Second Marriage, Secretly a Virgin, Trying to Conceive
So, yeah. I wrote a lot of concubines breasting boobily into porny scenarios! Any exchange or event can be Tit for Tat if you believe in boobs hard enough!
Mostly I'm just upset about the mod chat thing for souring what should've been Best Battleship Ever. At least I still have Team Pear and Leaf, the best team and the best captain ♥
