I enjoyed the quest. The part where you have to encourage the NPC's to make noise was probably for me the most difficult, it was hard to see the other NPC's with the window minimized and a lot easier with a maximized window.
I also had some trouble getting the 2nd battleship window to close to return to the ship to assign crew, but that may have been my mouse acting up and double clicking on a single click.
Overall though, I enjoyed this quest, it was not too hard but did have some challenging parts, and it was fun.
I would like to be able to play battlefish more after the quest.
I found Peekaboo, the invisipenguin after the quest too.
Thanks for a fun quest. Hi.

I found the quest quite enjoyable. I'm hoping the whole thing about penguins being eaten/enslaved by seals and polar bears might set them up to be more sympathetic in the future, with maybe quests about going after Pescaling directly as he's the problem. I liked playing battlefish, except the AI seemed to be losing on purpose: it would forget about any ship that just had one square left. This seems like it's artifically dumber than any player would be, and not really a challenging opponent. That said, this became a necessity to get a fighting chance in the final battle, but in the first game, the seal you're playing should be a bit smarter.
It seems like a lot more quests recently are designed not to require items from the far reaches of the world. I'm hesitant to call this a good thing, though, as if there's a new reason why we can't use outside items in each new quest, it would start to seem contrived on a story-level.

Hello there Story House here,
I managed to complete Some Like It Cold and it was a lot of fun, it's been a long time since I've done a quest and decided to take a break from grinding levels to do it. It was a lot of fun, I agree with Transcendent that the part where you had to make everyone make a lot of noise was difficult, but it paid of in the end. :)
I also really REALLY liked how you allowed us to get tons more exp from the Penguin Tome for doing the quest early. After all the exp from the quest and the tome, I only got one Crafting level up! Ha ha, when it hit 71, I cringed because it was no longer a multiple of 5, so you got me to train Crafting to 75. A much needed thing. I know it's weird, but a good weird. :P
I hope you make more non-combat quests for players like me.
Thanks for the Stories! ^_^

I am disappointed with this quest for several reasons. I am going to explain those reasons via very inaccurately worded, yet accurately described situations from the quest.
*Ping and Pong, when you're human*
Ping - "lul so ges wut" Me - "wut" Ping - "i new u wer human" Me - "DAFUQ??" Ping - "ya so lol" Me - "n e ways, i ned u 2 do a concert" Pong - "k get us costumez"
*Getting the costume*
Guard - "noo dunt nock me outt!"
*Back to Ping and Pong*
Me - "lul so ges wut" Pong - "wut" Me - "u need 2 do dis so I can invade a walrus camp and rescue a secret agent." Pong - "k."
*In the POW camp*
Teddy - "HEY BRO IMA CLOWN! oh also larry went insane and is now a penguin" Me - "LOLOL nice joke bro" Teddy - "no seriuslee go look" Me - "WUT. LARRY U NO BETTAH" Larry - "LOL NOPE! NOW GET ME MAH BABY!!!" Me - "k"
And this is my rant for how far I've gotten. Oh, also, I HATE the puzzle of spamclicking on three different people. I mean, it wouldn't be AS bad if it weren't for the fact that with EVERY SINGLE CLICK I get a message of me saying "ROCK ON BRO" "KEEP IT UP TEDDY!" "YOU CAN DO BETTER!!", therefore flooding my chatbox so I can't read any of my clan's messages. And before anyone mentions I can turn public off, it still rids the messages from the top of my box, and eventually most of my messages.
Oh and there's a typo in every other conversation. I at least want that fixed :c
