Toarobot18 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 It means your ship sinks, and is taken out of the game. It would be an option you would invoke if the other team was about to take possession of your vessel.

Toarobot18 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Fishers64 and Toa Onaku, you can consider yourselves officially admitted. As you are both fairly active members you can pick your own teams, unless you both want the same team. Then I'll randomly assign. Fishers64, if both teams are in favor of the concept, I will allow transfers of treasure between vessels. This would be the action for the round for both ships involved in the transfer, in other words, they could not also attack, move, hitch, repair, or mine treasure. Additionally, both ships would have to be in the same hex. Man of Miracles, every round, each player will send in their single choice of action to me via reply to my initial PM. All actions for a given round happen simultaneously, except for attacks, which are resolved first (this allows you to fire at ships that came in range at the end of the previous round, before they can get a chance to move out of range again).

Toarobot18 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) As you wish. Once you and Punished Snake decide on a design, we'll be all set, unless there are another two would-be players waiting in the wings... If anyone wants to make modifications to their design in light of what their team members chose, or discuss anything in the topic before the rounds begin, now is your chance. Next, each player will need to select the homebase hex that they wish their ship to start the game docked in (in response to the PMs I will send out shortly). Then I will publish the list of where each ship is starting the game. EDIT: Number 7 is already taken. You'll have to choose 5 or 6.

fishers64 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I see that you've assigned me the number 7. Very well then. One more question: My first mate has the ability to increase my movement by one hex every other round. Does that apply to the first round or the second?

Toarobot18 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 That was the only number left. You may choose, if you would like, but otherwise I will apply it to the first. The important thing is that there is a round in between, so if you wanted to, you could skip two rounds in a row sometime if you later decided you'd rather have it apply to even-numbered rounds instead of odd.

Toarobot18 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Yes, there is news. The Preparation By the forested cliffs of the northern shores, the captains of the Blue Team readied their vessels to set out to sea. Likewise, in the desert dunes of the south, the captains of the Red Team prepared their ships for the voyage. First mates were named, hulls were cleaned and stocked, guns were rolled aboard. Every crew member brought on his small set of possessions and then went to work. There were many things to be done before a ship could be launched, but the sailors did not grumble, for their thoughts were consumed with pictures of mystical bounty on far away islands and of glorious naval battles and victories.

Since no ship is in range of any enemy, nor damaged, nor docked at an island, the only sensible action for captains to choose is to "Move," and the game will not be won or lost based on movement this early. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could send in your actions with 24 hours if possible, and the sooner, the better.
