Pirates IRC

Sounds like a great addition to the game, just thinking out laud here:

1 What does "Both ships must be sailing and near each other" mean, like the surrounding 8 cells of ship?
2 If the chase is limited to say 10 mins, how often can a ship change direction/speed?
3 How will the chase end if ship 1 goes to opposite direction then ship 2, timeout / cell spaceing?
4 If one ships wants to board and the other attack, which will be the "winning vote"?
5 Does attack hinder a boarding after a while?

I got probably 100 more questions, but i'll wait for your reply before asking more.


GREAT game

1 Distance is TBD. currently !p work or !p lookout will find nearby ships and this will be used to start a battle
2 TBD
3 the chase phase will end with ship2 hidden for a short time from ship1
4 the faster ship will be able to close-in and board
5 attack will hurt pirates and can help in the boarding
