Proposal: No shouting across the ocean, Neptune is sleeping

Reached Quorum 13-0 High Seas rules, it was decided were the drools, say farewell to them bye for they did not fly - Enacted by Chivalrybean

Reword the first paragraph in the rule Insult Swordfighting that currently reads

Any captain may challenge another captain to a swordfight, provided both captains aren’t currently in a swordfight already, by making a post to that effect.

to read

Any captain may challenge another captain to a swordfight, provided both captains aren’t currently in a swordfight already, by making a post to that effect. A captain at sea may only challenge a captain who is also at sea, and a captain in port may only challenge a captain at port at the same island. While participating in an insult swordfight, the participating captains may not change their location.

Add the following text to the second paragraph of the same rule

If a challenge captain changes their location before accepting a challenge, they have ignored the challenge and their flavor shall be set to “Sour”.

Append to the end of the same rule of the following text

The winner of an insult swordfight shall collect the reward reguardless of the location of all captains involved.

If the majority of comments for this proposal that have active FOR votes contain the words “High seas rules shall apply” add the following text to the end of the aformentioned rule

If an insult swordfight is taking place at sea, at minimum, the first sentance of a captain’s reply to an insult must rhyme with the last sentance of the previous captains insult.

for High seas rules shall apply.

In the third blockquote, you do mean “If the CHALLENGED captain changes their location”, yes?

@Lugosh

Precisely. That will hopefully be corrected when the rule is applied, if it passes.

for I love the reference to MI3, but the High seas rules will just have everyone ending their insults with words like ‘orange’ that are nearly impossible to rhyme with.

What about Door hinge? (MI4)

For those who may not know (many new people) you can change your High Seas Rules vote simply by voting again, without the words.
