The pink little fairy had been waiting for that perfect moment to strike all day. Celebi was feared in the seas as the shipmaster who would always strike at the perfect moment - and today was no exception.
"Fire at B20! The salvage is mine, now!" said Celebi.
As the cannons fired, Celebi tidied up the cargo bay to make some space for the new spoils. In the distance, the shots struck Blastoise's ship. It cracked and fell apart and sank down into the deep blue - Mora the Celebi had claimed the first ship in the Fog Of War.

So I've just realised I allowed some players to shoot where they shouldn't have shot. Since it was only Day 1 and all shots have been carried out (and the invalid shots hit nothing), I won't be doing anything about it for Day 1. However, I will be much stricter and slower processing shots in the future to prevent such things happening again.
??? attempted to buy Ricochet – INVALID: Not enough gold.
??? bought Nuclear Core II and now has 0 gold.
??? discarded Close Quarters to keep Nuclear Core II.
??? bought a Whirling Cannonball and now has 6000 gold.
??? bought a Hazardous Cannonball and now has 1000 gold.
??? seered somebody. It was successful.

Machamp finished his morning flexes and surveyed the fog before him. It was still as foggy as ever, his eyes could confirm that much. He couldn't see any ships, but knew no one would fire until someone else did. "Time to get this ball rolling," he mumbled.
"Fire at D14!"
His muscle-clad ears listened for the results of his shot... but all they heard was another plop.
Machamp The Champion used ##FIRE: D14. It hit nothing but water.
