sensitIV & ☆ZRAEL (Day 1)

[idolpro]

[ Standing on the deck of a grand galleon rocking in the midst of clear, turquoise waves. In front of your boat is an island--deserted, of course--and next to the steering wheel you'll find two large chests, one filled with bags of gold and the other filled with dark, round, innocuous looking balls, as well as two maps--one clearly depicting the uncharted island in front of you, and the other--a treasure island. And apparently just for shits and giggles, there's a pile of pirate-themed accessories in your unit color(s) you can put on--eye patches, plastic swords and water pistols, fake stuffed parrots, bandanas, a Captain's hat--even a peg-leg or two.

Your phones chime and instructions to choose where to hide both the treasure and traps on your island based on your map appears. ]

[ Players, note that you have until 6pm PST/9PM EST to make sure your unit's card is completely filled out and ready to go! Feel free to thread out burying the treasure, just selecting the spots, or fighting over the accessories, whatever floats your literal boat. ]

We can just more or less divide up the number of treasures and booby traps to put down among us, right?

[That said, he's already beginning to input his own picks on the map.]

I tried to choose some nice spots...

Izanagi, do you want to wear one of the hats? It'd look really nice on you, wouldn't it?

ROUND 1

[idolpro]

A warning whistle resounds from the boat signaling game start, and the ship pulls away from the shore. It steers itself to a new island--one that looks just like the one on the bottom map/grid. Your phone updates with new instructions now:

Avast! Find as much booty as ye can while avoidin' the traps set by other scallywags. Six be the magic number o' plots ye can search each time.

Maybe we should try all four of the corners and get them out of the way? Each "piece" is just one tile, so unless our opponent set them down in a specific pattern, there's only so much we can calculate.

Re: RESULTS

Despite your best efforts, nothing was found at spaces E5, H8, and D5.

Your search of spaces H2 yields treasure! You currently have 1 POINT!

Arrgh! You thought you'd found treasure, but alas! It's a BOOBY TRAP at B2 & B8!

• DRUNK GOGGLES! Avast, sailor, just how much rum have you been drinking? (You're drunk.)
  
• FOOL'S GOLD! Aye, not all that glitters is gold--sometimes it's just a blast of glitter headed straight at you.

[ wrinkles her nose, sitting... down. oh no ]

It was really smart of them to only use a few corners...

[ is probably what she says. it's a little bit slurred. ]

[He is. So sparkly.

After the initial surprise of getting hit by glitter, he contents himself with the idea of running around spreading glitter to his unitmates and returns to studying the map.]

Alright, that's one treasure... want to check around the left side corners some more? Like C3 and C7. Maybe some more around the bottom right, too... F7?
