Revision as of 19:55, 7 January 2008 by imported>Flargen(remove needs spading (to move to the result pages); adding a NeedsConfirm regarding the alleged unsolved puzzle in the ocean)
It has been hinted that there is at least one unsolved/unnoticed puzzle in the ocean. Ideas and clues are currently sparse, so we could use more minds and adventurers working on this. See the talk page (last handful of sections) for details.
You hand the Meat over to the navigator, who hands it over to the quartermaster, who hands it over to an accounts payable rep, who hands it over to the grog purchasing agent, the food acquisition specialist, and the convenience store clerk, and soon the ship is fully outfitted for a voyage.
The navigator squints at you and asks "That's that, then. To what coordinates would you like to sail in search of booty, Cap'm?"
Longitude: (1-242)
Latitude: (1-100)
Set Sail!
Results
"Aye aye, Cap'm!" says the navigator, and there is a bustle of activity as the ship leaves port -- sails are unfurled, masts are hoisted, pulleys are winched, all that kind of shippy stuff. Pretty soon, you've lost sight of land, and open sea lies... um... open before you as you sail towards your destination.
Choosing invalid coordinates results in the following message:
The navigator sighs. "Those aren't valid coordinates, Cap'm. Care to try again?"
The Kingdom of Loathing is present on this map, largely occupying an 11x11 region beginning at the coordinates (11,11). Several coordinates in this region contain ocean, resulting in the area resembling that portrayed on the Main Map. Attempting to search one of these locations would give the following message:
The navigator says "Sorry, Cap'm, but we can't sail to those coordinates, because that's where the mainland is, and we've pretty much plundered the mainland dry. Perhaps a more exotic locale is in order?"
References
The name of the adventure is similar to "Set an open course for the virgin sea", a lyric from the song "Come Sail Away" by Styx.
The treasure-crane (used to find chests, rainbow pearls, and stone triangles/spheres) is probably based on the identical device in the GameCube game The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
