Please include your name, flag name, ocean and 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize preferences. Ships can be delivered to any colonized island, supplies will be on board these ships unless you specify a different location. - The new schedule for island openings will be posted on the 19th. - If not all islands are chosen, we may or may not choose islands to open ourselves. We'll make a decision on this at the time if it happens. Determination of winners will be decided with this order of preference: - Number of rounds won - Total points won in all rounds - Each ocean is tallied separately, so there will be a determination of winners on each of the oceans. Volunteers Needed: During the actual blockade we'll need the round scores to be posted to the forums here. If you're interested in helping just make a note here in the thread of what ocean you'll keep an eye out for. The schedule of island openings will be as follows: (schedule will be amended if necessary) 1/13: The Great 24 hour Ocean Blockades 1/20: <break> 1/27: Paihia Island (Hunter Outpost) 2/3: Opal 2/10: <break> 2/17: Sage Medium 2/24: Hunter - First Large 3/3: Cobalt 3/10: Hunter - Medium 3/17: Sage Outpost 3/24: Viridian 3/31: <break> 4/7: Hunter - Second Large or Second Medium Edit: Rearranged prizes for better comprehension Edit: Added specifics for Cobalt island openings (whoops!)

Does the winning flag get all of these prizes or just one? Also if a flag does not have an island what would happen with the 500k worth of charm would it go to the second flag that had an island, if they dont have an isle then third and so on? ---------------------------------------- Triggster.

I assumed they had first choice of each of them prizes. >_>
If the first, second and third flag chooses not to open an island then I guess so? ---------------------------------------- Triggster. On all oceans, but mainly Viridian. Captain of Trigonometry. Lord and former royal of RiddleMakers. |

Yeah, I forgot that we just opened the other one this past weekend which hasn't been updated on the YPPedia yet.
If you own an island, charm is trees, fountains, statues or any other item from the game which can be added to the island. They have to be tasteful which is why they need to be approved by me. |

Maybe with a shoppe as a prize on hunter, we'll see some actual competition on Hunter this time. Can the shoppe be of any type the winner chooses, or is the choice limited? ---------------------------------------- Twisted (Hunter Ocean) |

Yeah gotta say it looks like Midnight's getting jipped a bit this time around. I mean shops are all nice and dandy and so is a GF or charm but it honestly pales in comparasion to figuring out which island gets to open up in my mind at least. ---------------------------------------- --Ploute Crazy Oeddies Toga Emporium, Cnossos, Midnight Ocean Captain of Running Wild Awesome Avatar done by GypsyGinger of Midnight |

Maybe allow the flag to nominate an outpost for upgrading and opening as a medium, if it's of suitable physical size? Lots of big outposts out there that could easily bear the weight: Kashgar, Albatross, Kakraphoon... ---------------------------------------- Ruthven, FO Yarr Talk, Cerulean Despard, SO Fer Crown and Fortune, Emerald |

Would removal of ruins (or whatever standing buildings that aren't shoppes are called) fall into this category as well? |

*shrug*. There's a medium island out there just waiting for someone to drop and pave it. If there's actually someone wanting to develop and Island from the get-go. And any follow-ups to this probably belong on Midnight Parley :) |

So what's going to happen, will it be changed to a large or outpost or will it just be Hook Shelf as the only option? |

To maximize wrongness, could you add Merchant Galleons to the list of ships that can be taken in? |

Because I can't edit stuff... It's too bad NF isn't around anymore. They could have tried to win this, gotten the 500k charm prize, then try to take someone's island to charmify it. |

Awesome. Now the Eye can get a tree for their islands. Or Fate's thingamy. (Too lazy to look right now) Islands might open, and someone's gonna get a Shipyard on a ringer island. Let's be a little realistic, those prizes aren't anything to go into awe over on Hunter. Believe me, I like the island opening idea, if three islands are opened, huzzah. (Which leads to question 1 in a minute) But the biggest contenders already have islands, and unless they don't plan on entering at all, won't benefit from another opening and therefore won't. On that same point, if The Eye decides trading off for another large is in their best interest, and they do, then I guess a bit of ocean stagnation goes down. And yeah, I realize the point of cutters and sloops only is to give everyone a chance. 'kay. Simple If on Hunter, Flag A wins, and chooses to open a large, and Flag B opens, do they get a choice of opening a second large? (as the prizes are listed in a fashion that leads me to believe it's possible). Sorry if that's been answered previously, I read the thread and didn't really notice it.

Three cheers for NO island opening on Midnight. We don't need another one to open. We didn't even need the last one that opened. Oh -- and good work on choosing the settings! ---------------------------------------- Chrisspy |
