Are you lookin’ for an adventure? A taste o’ the seafarin’ life? A chance for loot ‘n’ booty? Yes? Well then, you’ve come to the right place! This is Fog of War 2 and I will be your host, bbninjas! This game is a team-based RPG-like adaption of the classic boardgame, Battleship, designed by BigfootAUS over a year ago. Each player will captain a single ship and will be slotted randomly into a 4-player team. Your objective is survival - to eliminate all the other teams.

Features:
- Lots of cannonballs, gunpowder and mayhem.
- A wide variety of Abilities, Items, Gold, Environmental Hazards, Environmental Conditions and Random Events.
- Day and Night Phases, where shooting occurs throughout the Day and mysterious market merchandise becomes available at Night.
- Teams that work together to survive and communicate amongst each other in QuickTopics.
How To Play:
- To win this game, you must sink opposing players’ ships by shooting them. More information about this in the “Commands & How To Use Them” section.
- You begin the game with 2 Abilities, no Items and 5000 gold.
- This game runs in phases. The Day Phase will initially last 5 days, while the Night Phase will initially last 3 days.
- By default, each player can attempt to shoot once per Day Phase and not all during the Night Phase.
- Abilities and Items can be activated during both the Day and Night Phase. (More specific instructions for use will accompany these.)
- After commands are posted in-thread by players, the host will post the results of those commands in-thread and also update the grid-map with the result. This process will happen at least once each Day Phase, more depending on the host’s availability.
- All actions are processed in the order that they are posted in. (See Example 2.)
- On the grid-map, “O” marks missed coordinates and “X” marks coordinates that were players’ ships. “E” denotes coordinates that were Environmental Hazards.
- If a player moves their ship after being damaged or otherwise revealed on the grid-map, their ship will become invisible. Player’s ships can be re-revealed on the grid-map by being hit again.
- Collision events (moving your ship onto the same coordinates as another ship) damages all ships involved in that collision on that coordinate. You will not be bumped off that coordinate, however.
- If a player successfully sinks a ship (that is, landing the last shot required to sink the ship), that player will salvage a default of 50% of the gold and Items from that ship (rounded down). (See Example 1.)
- If I give the a-okay during a particular Day Phase, players may post “##DAYEND” in thread. If the majority of all players post #DAYEND, then the day ends!
Abilities and Items:
- There will be gameplay events that allow you to purchase new Abilities and Items.
- If you purchase an Ability and end up with more than 2 Abilities, you must discard Abilities until you have only 2 Abilities.
- If you have more Items than you're allowed to hold, you must discard Items until you have the maximum amount of Items you're allowed to hold.
- If you have more gold than you're allowed to hold, you must discard gold until you have the maximum amount of gold you're allowed to hold.
Examples:
Example 1: Player 1 destroys Player 2's ship. Player 2 had 3417 gold and 5 Items. Player 1 salvages 1708 gold and 2 random Items from Player 2's ship. Player 2 is eliminated.
Example 2: Player 1 and Player 2 both want to shoot Player 3's ship. Player 1 shoots Player 3's ship and hits, with Player 2 shooting Player 3's ship on a neighbouring coordinate immediately after Player 1 posts his shooting command. However, Player 3 has an Ability that lets it move after getting shot. This Ability would be activated after being shot by Player 1, meaning Player 2's shot would miss.
