Proposal: Diggin’

reached a quorum, final vote 10-0—Yoda
I figure it shouldn’t be too much trouble to simply update the list of locations whenever a proposal creates a new location.
Also, all captains who were at Port are now locationless because there is no such location as Port.

Change the text in the rule Home Land to read

There exists two islands that all Captains may call home. Shuriken Island is home to Ninja Captains while Cutlass Island is home to Pirate Captains. A Captain may port at his home island or head out to sea or sail to a Treasure Island as a daily action. A Captain may never change their location to anywhere but Sea if their current location is not Sea. The location of every Captain shall be tracked on the GNDT in a section called “Location”. The possible locations are Home Land, Sea, or any treasure island listed in the rule Treasure Islands. While at their Home Land, a Captain can never be pillaged or pillage someone.

New captains start at Home Land.

To avoid lots of editing of the GNDT lists, maybe we can just make the Locations entry a text box.

Add a rule named Treasure Islands containing the following text

Listed below are possible Treasure Islands that a Captain or treasure may be located:

Add a sub-rule to the rule Treasure named “Treasure Hunting” containing the following text

To hunt for treasure, a Captain must have a Treasure Map and their location must be the Location listed on any treasure map they possess. While at a Treasure Island, if allowed by the rules, daily a Captain may hunt for treasure. To do so, the Captain rolls a DICE5 in the GNDT. If the result is a 1 or a 2, they have found the treasure and it shall be noted as described in the rules as owned by them.

I really wanted to the random pages in the wiki, playing off the spam, as a part of treasure hunting, but I could not think of a way that was not highly susceptible to cheating. Obviously, we can work on the honor system, but it was far too easy to cheat, so, best to keep and honest man honest, and with all these pirates, why try?

We can make rules for blocking treasure hunting (insult sword fights?), stealing maps, and stealing treasures.

Ninjas are discouraged from plundering, but maybe they can steal stuff sneakily?

for This shows problems. There are probably a few amendments that could be made to tighten it up a little, but I like this as a starting point.

Perhaps the sentences “A Captain may port at his home island or head out to sea or sail to a Treasure Island as a daily action. A Captain may never change their location to anywhere but Sea if their current location is not Sea.” to something like “A Captain may change eir location as a daily action. If eir location is not currently set to Sea, e may only change eir location to Sea.”

*shrug* That seems more concise to me, but maybe it would make it confusing?

Haha, man… not thinking straight tonight. What I meant to say was “This shows PROMISE.”

for It needs some tweaking, but it will work for now.

I wrote it at a late hour, and I’m prone to convolution at reasonable hours of the day, so, yeah. {:0)

for I was thinking of the same thing, a treasure-stealing mechanism.
