[Light]

Wow... I think your ideas are the best Phill...

[Captain Jack]

Nice ideas Phil Keep it up

[Plubius]

Saved a drowning sailor (+ Fame)
Rescued ship wrecked merchant (+money)
Got in a bar fight with a town official (- Fame)
Dock crews worked faster than usual in loading your ship (+turns) the opposite (Dock crews worked slower than usual in loading your ship, -turns)

[Captain Jack]

I got to love all the ideas, keep it up

[Cdv]

Bump. Just wondering, what ever happened to these ideas?

[Blackwave]

Right.. Those are great suggestions! Random events... Nice

[Painmaster]

saved the captain/admiral/head merchant of a sunken ship/fleet(+1 random officer)
Sirens lure your crew to their doom(-crew)
The wind suddenly and mysteriously just stops(drastic increase of travel times)
Cargo was misloaded and caused your ship to tip over(loss of cargo+level on ship)

While sailing, you find an uncharted island(offer player chance to explore it)
1.upon exploration,you find a vast reserve of gold(+lots of money)
2.the natives attack!!(high loss of crew)
3.You discover a new creature(+lots of fame)

You should also have certain events be truly random, while some events are more likely than others to happen in certain places or at certain times.

Random Events is a good idea, but this needs some serious work.

Vote to move to Discussion

-1 Disapprove

Personally don’t think that the concept in general is all that beneficial to the game
Agreed for discussion.

I think this could be fun and would help as an engagement mechanism for new players in particular. I would like this one moved to discussion for further effort.
