Pep!Pep! & future is now (Day 2)

[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 3pm PST/6pm 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. ]

[Duality in turn has found an eye patch. we're all serious here]

This seems... light hearted.

[Squeezing a stuffed parrot. Wtf is a pirate, you guys.]

Ehn, I ain't clear on the tastes on display here. . . but I s'pose it's all straightforward enough?

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.

So we can guess six spots for treasure each round...

So our odds of finding treasure are a little under half and a little better than finding a trap, huh? That's not too bad.

[ not sure if he trusts the traps to be lighthearted like the host claims but

what choice do they have? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[nutsandrevolts]

We could just start at the top and work our way 'cross.

[considering the map while also wielding a water pistol for some reason]

Hmmmm to spread out our guesses or to aim them in clusters... as the game goes on we might be able to get a sense from our initial successes--or failures--on how the map is organized. Some people would put boobytraps near treasures, others would put treasures in proximity to each other, and of course a combination of those strategies is viable too since the map's not that big...

A warning whistle resounds again and your ship will once again begin to navigate its way all on its own. Where to now…?
