how does the wife react to this when she finds out?
i suggest add some domestic problems.
problems that only rubies can solve


I actually think that is a good idea. It certainly makes sense.
however as this is mostly for going after warships, I don't think it improves the card.

Interesting to think of that cards could have minor side affects besides their intended use.
I would say why not. If anyone else thinks that it should have that side affect I will consider adding it.

The strongest effect of this will be the confuse effect. Simply because it is NOT confuse, and therefore will stack with it. Combine this card with an ordinary confuse with "avenge" against a solitary player, and he'll have a REALLY hard time.

Also, I think we should stay away from killing crew.

Let's talk as to why. Would love to hear the arguments against this

Admins once said that they don't want to kill crew also as it was mentioned confuse effect making it little OP if both confuses are possible either make it that regular cofuse isn't castable or discard confuse from this card

[Haron]

I said that effect would make it powerful. Not necessarily TOO powerful. That's a matter of price :-)

I will say the CJ has confirmed the possibility of Killing Crew in the future. Not just with Voodoo, but with Ship Specialization.

Ship Abilities.

In short, we will create a shortlist of possible ship abilities. Here are some examples:
-Grape Shot (Kills ship crew during battle)

I for one am an advocate of such an effect, WITH limits. Never being able to kill the entire crew and leaving the ship still sail-able.

Just my two cents... more on that later perhaps

[Sebena]

I have nothing aggainst killing crew I need to use those lazy bastards who drink in tavern because I can't find enough captains... I am just on the -1 side because of confuse part... with this raiding and taking ships will be just war of voodoo and not art of planning and preparing.

I am against card recipe concept. I will agree to it if there is a card like Gris Gris created for it or there is a witch cauldron that you can build to mix those cards and create new ones.
