Yes. For those for you set up with that capability...go ahead and do that.

And...I stopped by the PO yesterday and picked up nine of the flat design medium flat rate priority boxes...so y'all can send your booty to me in whatever you want. Just know, as you're picking items from the treasure hoard, that all your items need to fit inside that box for return. Otherwise (here we go again) I'll be contacting you to find out which of your items you want to leave here for ME to enjoy!  :pirate: 
 
that would probably be a good reason as to use the same box to send it to you in, as you will be shipping it out in, and also everyone should take in the consideration if all of your booty doesn't fit into one box, said pirate will have to pay additional shipping to receive the rest of their booty , I mean that was probably obvious but hey just throwing it out there
 
We are officially at sea! So yo ho ho and all that jazz.


And what do we find, not even a day out of port?  A light merchantman...limping along, heavy in the water (means a full hold...a little physics there). Do ya see her colors, Smee?  What's that, a British Jack! Excellent! Bring us around Gramps...let's just have a look at 'er.

Aye! She's a worthy enough prize, Smee! Let's warm the boyos up to their stations and see how they fare in trading a little round ball with 'er! Hard a'port, Gramps! Let's just make a little run across her stern and rake her a bit...just to show her we mean business...that'll get her knickers in a shiver! Starboard guns...load 'em and be ready there, men! You on the Port battery...be loaded and ready when we come about.

Ahhh! Look at her! She's coming around...dropping more sail...opening her ports...why Smee! I do believe she'll try to defend her honor!

Starboard guns...fire as yer guns bear! At yer will!

-----------------------------

And so it was, after a brief skirmish, that the first prize of the voyage was won.

Booty was taken, prisoners... there were none.

Evidence...Davy Jones don't do no CSI!

-----------------------------

So crew names were put in a hat and drawn by the Cap't. The number in parenthesis after your name is your draw order.

You are now free to puck your prize...in order please. No crowding there! Yes, let's be orderly about it.

As soon as number one (Gravel) picks his prize by posting the choice here...number two (PozzSka) can go ahead and post his choice, etc., etc., etc. Anyone screws up and tries to crowd ahead goes to the end of the line!

I will duck back in from time to time and put an X in front of items that have been picked, but pay attention and don't pick something someone before you has picked (DUH!)

There ya be! Your pick order is below. The list of prizes (booty donated by a brother of sterling character) is below that.

You may now begin picking your prizes...in order...and they will be added to your later picks and sent with your main box.

I know which ones I want but will they still be there when it's my turn??? hahaha we are picking publicly right? so I'll know when it's my turn?
 
Yes...in public...here...as soon as the guy in front of you picks. The order is the number BEHIND your name. You are number 4. I am number 3. PozzSka is number 2. Gravel is number 1...etc. So as soon as the three of us post here, you get to go. It really is pretty basic.

Gravel! Where ye be me'lad?
 
I figured the "turn" number was either to the right or someone had a counting problem  :shock: 
 
Yup. Number to the right is the draw order for this early round. It will change, or be added to, for subsequent rounds.

Here's the whole thing again.

I'll add notes as we go through this round to sort of walk the slower blokes through it.  lol

There - all noted, smart as paint we are.


How 'bout some of you other ruffians PM the next guys down the list and jog 'em a bit...so's to wake 'em up? Let 'em know weez playin' 'the game'!

I'm going to out in a bit for an errand and will let things play out a bit...see if the rest of the bunch can follow along without being herded like a bunch a cats.
 
Ahoy Mateys! That was a very generous BoB pirate that shared his treasure to this unruly bunch of scallywags. I will make sure to hoist me mug of ale to him tonight!
 
Sorry I am a late riser, seems it be my turn to dip into the treasures...
I choose X, for x marks the spot!
 
Sorry, just woke up, and am still not quite awake.....need more caffeine! (took 4 tries to type more)

C it is then, for my love of the Sea! May as well try an aro.
 
THERE ya go! Well and rightly done.

And...I might note...a brave choice she be!

--------------------


Now let's move on to our next contestant...Mr. Mozjo!

Be ye here me lad?
 
*climbs crowsnest, yawns, looks through spyglass, and splutters in wonder and disbelief*

Hellfire and brimstone! Tack the sails, bosun Spud15 and first mate d4klutz, it looks like our vessel be sailin' straight into the Maelstrom of Tonquin! Batten those hatches, boy-ohs, and let's pray all aboard have cast-iron stomachs to match our sea-legs! Our only hope is those mad dogs ahead of us in the prow take the brunt of her for us...
 
Also, a hearty huzzah for whoever carried this payload into our weighting arms. There's no charity like that given a'fore the Jolly Roger has even been raised!
