The year is 1681. You are either a pirate, mercenary, or merchant who travels by seas to make your living. You battle the armada and krakens somewhat regularly, and have seen some of the strangest things known to mankind. You will face victories, such as victory in battle, untold riches discovered, and becoming captain of a large crew, but there will also be hardships, including war, disease, and even death. Starvation is always a possibility as well. Will you rule the ocean until your demise? Or will you meet an untimely fate lost at sea? |
Everyone has a max of 15 health points (HP), but start with only ten after being on a particularly long expedition. Keep track of health at bottom of each post. Reach 0 and you die.(Taken from Between Two Rivers)

I (NightWing) will announce when each time phase begins at top of post.
Dawn. Initiates at first light. When you wake up if you were sleeping (not including naps). Signals beginning of new day, as well as the time when updates (who died? Who survived?) are posted.
Morning. After dawn, before noon. When most start to work. Also when breakfast is typically eaten.
Noon. Lunch!
Afternoon. Peak time for traders. End is when dinner/supper is eaten.
Night. Bedtime, unless you're a night owl. Only time you're allowed to go to sleep for anything longer than a nap, in which case you are sleeping and vulnerable until dawn.
Midnight. Most are asleep at this time. Perfect for stargazing, though.
Aaand back to dawn.
