Proposal: And you little dog Toto, too!

Reword the rule Battles to read as follows.

As a daily action, a Captain who is at Sea may Attack another Captain who is at Sea, by making a blog post stating the action. The attack is resolved by making a comment in the GNDT of “DICEX DICEY”, where X is one more than the size of the Attacking Captain’s Army, and Y one more than the size of the Attacked Captain’s Army. If a Captain’s Sickness is set to Scurvy, eir Army size shall be counted as two-thirds of its actual size recorded in the GNDT, rounded down. Should the first DICE roll be strictly greater than the second, then the Attack is successful, and the Attacking Captain may plunder 2DICE10 gold from the other Captain, whose Flavour is set to Bitter. If the first roll is more at least double the second roll and the defending Captain owns a treasure, then the attacking captain may take one treasure at random. To choose a treasure, the attacking Captain shall roll DICET where T is the number of treasures the the defending captain holds and alphabetically count to T and take that treasure. (Example: If the defender has treasures A B and C and the roll is 3, e shall take treasure C) Otherwise the Attacked Captain has fended off the attack, and the Attacking Captain loses half of the first DICE roll, rounded up, from the size of eir Army, and eir Flavour is set to Bitter. No single Captain may Attack the same Captain more than once in a week.

I think we need more resolution of who makes the dice rolls. If two people do it and have different outcomes, there could be ambiguity. imperial

I agree with alethiophile about dice roll resolution, however I do like the Treasure stealing factor introduced.  imperial

Oh and something else: perhaps somebody should propose that Treasure Maps can also be sold or plundered.

And can be bought at the port where they are sold.

I made no changes to the dice rolling rules, I kept all that the same. I just added the bit about the results, and made the last line more clear.
