Postgame report
In this game:
- Abilities are available.
- Items are available. (Items are consumed upon use unless otherwise specified.)
- Gold is available.
- Environmental Hazards are present.
- Environmental Conditions are present.
- Random Events may occur.
- Day/Night Phases end at the time specified by the Game Master. (This rule may change as the game progresses.)
- You will begin the game with up to 2 Abilities, no Items, and 5000 gold.
- Abilities and Items may overrule any other rules.
- Commands must be posted in this thread unless an Ability or Item specifies otherwise.
How To Play:
- This game runs in phases. The Day Phase lasts for roughly 5 days, while the Night Phase lasts for roughly 3 days.
- To win this game, you must sink other players' ships by shooting them. More information in the “Commands & How To Use Them” section.
- By default, each player can only shoot once per Day Phase and not at all during a Night Phase.
- Abilities and Items can be used in both the Day Phase and the Night Phase. (They will typically have specific instructions regarding their usage as well.)
- After players post their commands, the Game Master will post the results of those commands in the thread and also update the grid-map in the OP to display that result. This process may take a while, but will happen at least once each Day Phase. "O" will be marked on missed coordinates. "X" will be marked on hit coordinates that were players' ships. "E" will be marked on hit coordinates that were Environmental Hazards.
- All actions are processed by the Game Master in the order that they are posted in. (See Example 2)
- If a player moves their ship after being damaged or otherwise revealed on the grid-map, their ship will become invisible. Players' ships can be re-revealed on the grid-map by being hit again.
- Collision events (moving your ship on to the same coordinates as another ship) damages all ships involved in that collision on that coordinate. You won't be bumped off that coordinate though.
- If a player successfully sinks a ship (landing the last shot required to sink the ship), that player receives 50% of the gold and Items from that ship (rounded down). (See Example 1)
Abilities and Items:
- There will be gameplay events that allow you to purchase new Abilities and Items.
- If you purchase an Ability and end up with more than 2 Abilities, you must discard Abilities until you have only 2 Abilities.
- If you have more Items than you're allowed to hold, you must discard Items until you have the maximum amount of Items you're allowed to hold.
- If you have more gold than you're allowed to hold, you must discard gold until you have the maximum amount of gold you're allowed to hold.
Examples:
Example 1: Player 1 destroys Player 2's ship. Player 2 had 3417 gold and 5 Items. Player 1 salvages 1708 gold and 2 random Items from Player 2's ship. Player 2 is eliminated.
Example 2: Player 1 and Player 2 both want to shoot Player 3's ship. Player 1 shoots Player 3's ship and hits, with Player 2 shooting Player 3's ship on a neighbouring coordinate immediately after Player 1 posts his shooting command. However, Player 3 has an Ability that lets it move after getting shot. This Ability would be activated after being shot by Player 1, meaning Player 2's shot would miss.

- Players may NOT undo any commands once they've been posted.
