Beforehand
Around an hour before the game begins an Ocean Master or Ocean Master alt will make an ocean-wide broadcast. On the larger oceans this doesn't give a location to ensure you have read these rules!

 * Midnight: Thousand Caves of Doriath:
 * Cobalt: Estate of Intoxication:
 * Viridian: Sin City:
 * Sage: The Great Estate:
 * Hunter: Tortilla Villas:

Golden Ticket Lottery
Before the main game starts Nobooty will ask for Golden ticket holders who wish to trade their tickets for a chance in the hot seat to come forwards and trade him. They will then pick a number and be given a box. If that box contains


 * A bandana or bid ticket - you haven't won.
 * A card with Booty on it - you get the hot seat, wait until Nobooty tells you to shout Booty.
 * A card with No Booty on it - you get a refund, wait until Nobooty tells you to shout No Booty then return the card in exchange for another ticket.
 * Anything else - Consolation prize, wait for details from Nobooty

The winner will then be asked to step onto the stage and the game will commence with everyone else as audience members who may bid and win surPRIZES

The Game
Being based on the game show Deal or No Deal, Booty or No Booty follows a similar format, except the audience replaces the banker.

Prizes
There are 22 different prizes in Booty or No Booty, the last contestant will always go away with one of them.

On stage there are four sorts of box:
 * Two Switcheroo boxes
 * The surPRIZE boxes awarded by Nobooty to members of the audience.
 * 22 boxes containing the one each of the above prizes randomly labled 1-22.
 * 22 differently boxes each labled with one of the prizes, these boxes are used to show which prizes are left ans therfore may be in the contestant's box.(Shown above)

There is only one of each prize, the contestant’s aim is to pick a high prize as their box, and them eliminate low value boxes.

The spectator/banker's aim is to try and buy the contestant's box from him for less that it is worth.

Box Elimination
The number of different prizes that could be in the contestant's chosen box has to be narrowed down. This is done by getting the contestant to pick a box. Nobooty hands him the box and the contestant reads out the prize inside and Nobooty removes it from the list of possible prizes.

Bidding
After each set of eliminations there is a round of bidding.

After the boxes have been chosen and opened Nobooty asks the audience to send him their first offers for the hot seat via /tell (Note that all bids should be in Poe, any as doubloons or items will not be counted. This is to avoid disputes over value.) Nobooty then announces the highest bid and asks for final bids. These are binding. Do not bid if you don't have/aren't willing to pay the amount. Bids higher than the first round highest are usually asked to be sent by /pay and all unsuccessful /pay bids will be returned. The highest bid from the second round will be announced and the contestant will be asked the infamous question: 'Booty or No Booty?'


 * If they choose 'Booty' then they receive the money from the highest bidder and the bidder gets the hot seat.


 * If they shout 'No Booty then' the highest bidder gets their Poe back and the game resumes.

surPRIZES

At various points throughout the game Nobooty will hold mini-competitions for the audience the winner getting to choose a present with a mystery prize inside.
