Skallagrim pretty much explicitly stated himself that ships were complete fluff only a short while into the OOC, I'm not entirely sure why Boerd's character was accepted at all considering it's his only way of fighting. 

Regardless, if you want to retire your fucking character, retire it. Don't force some stupid-ass victory which quite obviously negates two months of posting of what Fury does using some borderline meta-gaming ballshit understand Boerd?
