are we insane?
In only the best ways possible...
...though, of course, you're just a faker. A real goblin player is supposed to post in the form of (an off-rhyme) song, where at least half the lyrics would either irk PETA or violate the Geneva Conventions!

Buggy wuggy, creepy crawler,
Cutey sluggy bites a brawler.
Skitter, jitter, hurry scurry,
In a fit of buggy fury.
Shower folk in worms exotic
In a joke so arthropodic.
Ha! The bigguns leapin' so
When 'ere comes a Reepazo!"
Ranzak fell and fights no more
Zarongel bless his nasty little soul. He is survived by his Pirate parrot, Cap'n Bloodfeathers.
...Too bad, since Ranzak could at least be built for a decent flat Survival bonus. I hope your team is rocking both of those Worn Leather Caps or there can be even nastier troubles ahead....

I don't know if it's worth noting we play with the house rules that if we fail a scenario we lose a number of cards equal to the number of open locations at random from our decks (immediately after scenario, pre-rebuilding) - gives us some incentive to take risks, as you know if you purposefully throw a scenario you'll randomly lose that one vital piece of loot from your deck)
Also replacement characters keep the same number of feats but have to build their deck up from appropriate picks from the box -i.e. current set-2 (and aren't allowed to swap with other party members before the next game). We feel that's enough of a punishment, without leaving a character permanently down on feats (or having to replay to catch up).
Oh and dead characters are dead, no re-picking the same character later (or variants for those that have them - not that that applies to any of the goblins unless I've missed it)

You pick wrong goblins, silly longshank
Tup burn them all, make walk the plank
You think you has tough goblin crew?
You wait til Tup come after you.

Goblins need no longshanks crew.
Goblin pirates know what to do!
In goblin crew, no breaking ranks:
Make traitor goblins walk the plank.
Drive the ship through storm and fog,
When we get hungry, kill a dog.
What if there’s no dog for meal?
Get Ranzak's club and find a seal.
Eager Ranzak has one leg,
He crushes longshanks under peg.
He stabs you, hooks you in the eye,
Takes your booty when you die!
Sneaky goblin dressed in clothes -
Where is Tup? Nobody knows.
He creeps upon you in the dark,
Lights you on fire for a lark.
When fog is far too thick to see,
Look in cabin for Zibini.
She has a glass ball, shiny and blue;
Finds treasure for goblins to take from you.
Chuffy's knife is sharp and fast.
Sticks in your ribs - you breathe your last.
He pulls it out, you fall to deck,
He kicks your head and breaks your neck.
Reta sits up in crow’s nest,
Her arrows stick in eyes and chests.
If longshanks run from her attack,
Then Reta shoots them in the back.
Ship is dirty? Where is Ak?
We whip the runt upon the back!
We beat him, bite him in the neck.
If he still lives, he cleans the deck!
With Plarg’s skull held within her hand
Ekkie raids from ship to land.
Ekkie takes what Ekkie wants,
She eats your kittens, then she taunts!
If lots of longshanks in your crew,
Reepazo has a job to do.
With lots of friends, she has a trick,
A swarm of bugs to make you sick.
With sharp knife and witty rhyme,
Poog is best at any time.
Zarongel tell Poog what to do,
He takes your stuff and kills you, too.
If longshanks crew puts up a fight,
Mogmurch knows how to do it right.
Build a bomb and craft a potion,
Blow longshanks ship up on the ocean!
Board their ship and burn the sail,
Fire makes the longshanks wail.
Take the booty back on board,
Put trinkets in our shiny hoard.
When your ship the goblins find,
Goblins board it any time.
Longshanks crews no more than pests!
Goblin pirates are the best!
(I had to make sure that the obligatory "offend PITA" segments were included.)

Hey, quit writing goblin songs and go work more on those harrower characters! We've been waiting like 6 months on them! :-P
We're wrapping up S&S right now. We used a 1/2 goblin crew: Mogmurch & Ak (me) and Oloch and Alahazra (my teammate).
I'm the more experienced PACG player, so I'm using the more colorful Goblins.
Now all I can picture is an epic goblin rap battle.
Will take on all challengers.

That.s because you never even dare imagine what an epic goblin french rap is, Mike, if I may. :-)
I'm doing a solo campaign with Ranzak, Ak, Poog and Chuffy, and am about to finish deck 2.
Ranzak absolutely destroys boon heavy locations. I've had him burn through all ten cards of a location deck, amass a load of blessings and allies, plow through the henchman and close the location, all on the first explore of the first round. He's got killer Fortitude, and give him a boost to Wisdom for a great survival roll even though he only rolls a d4. Since most ships have the option to use a survival check to defeat, Ranzak is my prime ship-wrecker :)
Ak is basically invulnerable (and my all time favorite character to play). Anytime a failed check would cause him to take damage, I just make sure I recharge his whole hand, even if it doesn't lead to a passed check. You can't discard if you have no cards! And once you get the power that adds +2 to combat checks for each card recharged, he can stand toe to toe with many monsters. Bump his hand size up, and he gets beefier still!
Poog ensures that the group is always healthy. And I mean ALWAYS. The other goblins will drop blessings on every single one of Poog's checks, and whenever they do, boom - shuffle two cards back into their deck. Even better when they have a blessing that matches the top blessing discard. He's also my go to when I need a high wisdom score.
Chuffy evades anyone he doesn't like, can reroll his checks against banes, and can tack on an extra D6 if he's alone, which is what he likes anyway. His dex: melee skill is killer, and you can safely dump all those skill bonuses into dex as well, making him devastating with a cutlass or acidic whip!
I was struggling a little bit with three characters, but rounding the group out with Poog now makes me feel overpowered, to be honest.
