Why did I just remember this?
Many years ago, I played a game called HyperHull, in which the players roleplayed pirates who had to work together in a massively collaborative way in order to build ships, then larger ships, and larger ships still to create an armada sworn to defeat the Five Hypermenaces (Ninja Doctors, Ninja Chefs, n1nj4 h4x0r5, Ninja Robots, and Generation Ninja).
I dunno why it suddenly came to mind.
