Yer an evil, wicked man Cap, to be foisting off another SvS so soon.

But I'll be there. I'll be "out" quick, but I'll be there.

Rules for tonight's guild night game!

There will be 2 Captains, one French, the other Spanish.
They will select their teams and go to their respective islands.
Once there, each person will be sailing their own ship. The Captain can assign who sails which type of ship, but each team MUST HAVE at least one Sloop, one Galleon, and one Frigate. After that, it's up to the Captain to decide.

Once the fleets are ready to sail:
I will line each team up. You will be facing each other broadsides.
Once you are in position, NO SAILING! You can turn in place to shoot, but no dropping of sails unless you are the one trying to break through the enemy lines.

One team will 'dare' a single ship from the other team to come across. That ship then drops sails and goes straight at the opposing line. The object is to 'break through' or sail past the enemy line. You must sail somewhere BETWEEN the enemy ships, not around them. If the ship gets past the line, I will call CEASE FIRE.

The team doing the daring tries to sink the approaching ship before they get past. But, they are not allowed to sail to do it, only turn in place.
If the Dared ship gets sunk, they are out of the round. If they make it through, they are allowed to repair, and return to their own line.

The ONLY ships that are allowed to do repairs are the ones who have successfully broken through the enemy lines. NO ONE ELSE is allowed to repair! (This means, if your ship gets damaged while defending your line, so what. You cannot repair.)

Now the other team gets to dare someone to come across.

A single round is until all of one teams ships are sunk, or 5 dares each team, whichever comes first.

I expect the first round to be a little rocky, until everyone figures it out, but I think we can do a few rounds of this during the evening.

So then it's alright for Rover to shoot back as he or she passes the line?

Rover can shoot all she/he wants. Even before crossing the line.


Actually, I was going to space the lines just far enough away that the lines could barely shoot each other.

[Kid Heartbreaker]

Hope I can make some part of this tonight. We have a Weblo Scout meeting to build the boys the Pine Wood Derby cars they will race. My son wants his to look like a Lamborghini! That should test out my band saw skills for sure.

[Crazypirate]

[Basil Dreadflint]

This Wednesday:

Ship Tag!

Look here tomorrow for the rules! (Sorry, but RL has me a little busy this weekend, don't have a lot of time.)

[Basil Dreadflint]

Rules are going to be simple.

Everyone but me will be sailing either a Frigate or a Galleon. I will be in a Sloop.

You will all set sail from PR. Your ships MUST stay in a limited area of the sea, from PR to Devil's Anvil. No circling the islands, or going out of bounds. It's sort of a triangle shaped area, if you look at the map.

I will chase the ships. TAG is by bumping or ramming one. Once rammed, the ship that I hit becomes a chaser, too. That person can continue to sail whatever ship they were in, or choose to shift to a sloop.

We continue to CATCH all the other ships, until there is only one uncaught ship remaining. They are the winner.

We probably can run a few rounds of this during the evening.
