Oh, I see. Nice! It would be cool to have a different size of cannon on deck.

No. I just find it striking that one day you posted about how you had the ship
for sale in .market.buy-sell-trade, and the next you posted in .pirate about
how you combined two Armada Flagships (and just happened to include an ad for
the ship as well). It's not hard to extrapolate that you might then post in a
couple of days to .build about how you made the cannons (still including the
ad), and then to .fun.gaming about how it would be a great ship for Evil
Stevie's Pirate game (still including the ad), thereby proliferating your ad
throughout Lugnet, in inappropriate groups, for no other real reason than
advertisement.
I think that custom sets are a great idea, and I fully support you in your
endeavors (and, in fact, I think it's quite a handsome vessel). I greatly
mislike sale flogs outside of the .market groups, though, and would like to see
them quashed.
As I said in a roundabout way to Larry, I'm not directly accusing you of
flogging (nor should my scenario about further posting above be taken to mean
that I necessarily believe that was your plan of action). Just starting a
discussion.
