It's easy to foul oneself when you are learning the game, but to the experienced player, fouling oneself is very embarrassing and, yes, makes you feel silly.
Or I guess you can look at it that way.
MOST people will look at it like:
I want to be Nelson. Oops...why can't my ships move?
I'll play something else.Then you lost a potential player because they do not have the patience.
You might as well use ship names like Blinky, Dumbo, and Charlie for all it matters.
I just find it amusing that the response to fouling is "Its embarrassing and makes you feel silly".
When several people I have played with so far are thinking they simply will not play at all because its annoying.
A hinderance to fun play.
