"Will you hold onto your box till the end? Will you buckle? Will you regret accepting half a million pieces of eight as your rival walks away with a bundle of squawking devotion in their shoulder? Will you be our most famous player ever? This is Booty or No Booty!"
Contents
Behavior
These are the key rules to keeping this game fun and exciting. No:
- Shouting, spamming or, swearing
- Dockpressing or jobbing for a blockade
- Walking onto the stage or making a big scene
- MAKING FAKE BIDS
- Giving Nobooty many annoying tells
- Trying to hearty many random people
Once you enter the house you are required to follow the rules. If you break any rule above you will be kick out and not let in to any Booty or No Booty events ever again. Booty or No Booty is a privilege not a right.
Booty or No Booty is meant to be fun. These rules are just enforced to keep the atmosphere fun. Those who don't follow the rules don't deserve to the fun.
Pre-Event
Location/Where
One hour before the game starts, an Oceanmaster or oceanmaster alt will send out a /broadcast across the ocean. This will typically point out when an episode of Booty or No Booty starting, what can be won. On the more heavily-populated oceans, a location will NOT be given. To enter the event, you must come here (which you evidently already have done!), and go to one of the following locations:
- On the Midnight Ocean: Thousand Caves of Doriath, Islay of Luthien
- On the CobaltOcean : Estate of Intoxication, Kirin Island
- On the Viridian Ocean: Sin City, Olive Island
- On the Sage Sage Ocean: The Great Estate, Admiral Island
- One the Hunter Hunter: Tortilla Villas, Chachapoya Island
The host of the event is Nobooty.
Remember, the event doesn't start until an hour after the broadcast. You may want to head off and play poker, or even loan a poker table for the duration of the waiting period.
Between 5 and 15 minutes before the scheduled event time, a golden ticket may be give out. Nobooty won't be telling how or when, so please don't ask!
Golden ticket lottery
At the start of the event Nobooty will everyone if they would like to trade their golden ticket in for a chance in the hot seat. If you have one with your name on it or doesn't have anyone's name one it you may trade it in. After everyone who want to trade theirs in has done so, those who traded their ticket in will get to choose a box. From order from who submitted their tickets first to last. Here is what they contain and what to do with them:
| Contents | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Bandana | You have not won | Nothing |
| Bid ticket | You have not won | Nothing |
| Greeting card | If it says to shout 'BOOTY', you will be in the hot seat | Wait until Nobooty asks for you to shout out 'BOOTY!' |
| If it says that you've won a refund, you get a refund | Wait until Nobooty asks for you to shout 'NO BOOTY!', and then wait until Nobooty trade requests you for the card in exchange for another golden ticket. | |
| Other gift | You haven't won, but you won a consolation prize! | It depends. Listen to what Nobooty says. |
The winner will then be invited onto the stage. Everyone else is now a normal spectator and may bid and try to win a surPRIZE and the main game is about to begin!

- Now we continue on to the switcheroo
- Any time Nobooty could do a surPRIZE
surPRIZES
During random parts of the main game, every so often there is a break. They may be during a round, during the bidding, or just between rounds. They will happen when Nobooty decides, so do not ask for a surPRIZE, otherwise Nobooty will purposefully push the time back.
Typically, 5 or 6 (or maybe more) boxes of an random color will be on the board. A task will be declared, such as answering a trivia question, or doing something. The winner of the task (which may not actually be the first one to answer) gets to pick a box and win the contents. Occasionally, extra twists may occur, such as gambling the contents of the box or opting for a blind sum of PoE.
Prizes from this section may range from trinkets to clothes to weapons (sword, mug, bludgeon) or even something very rare. Who knows? Probably not even Nobooty knows.
Bidding
After the end of every round, there will be a chance to buy the chosen box from the current player. This is done in two parts:
- Wave 1
Wave 1 is a test round. When Nobooty says so, you should /tell him how much PoE you would be willing to pay to buy that box. BIDS ARE IN PoE ONLY; ANY OTHER FORMS OF BARTERING TENDER WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
At the end of about 30 seconds, time will be up. The highest bid in that round will be announced and the bidding will proceed to wave 2.
- Wave 2
The second wave is the actual wave of bidding. Wave one bidding is to help you figure out what other players are going to bid and what you should bid.
Each second wave will have a bidding threshold. Bids that come over this, or very close to it, should be sent in a /pay to Nobooty. Bids under that should still come as a /tell. All /paid bids that were not the top bid WILL be returned.
After the time is up, the highest bid is determined, the offer made to the contestant.Once an offer has been made, the player can do one of two things:
- Say booty: They receieve the PoE offered, leave the game, and the box passes on to the successful bidder.
- Say no booty: The game continues as normal
Switcheroo
After the sixth round of bidding, the player currently in the hot seat will be asked if they would like to open one of two special boxes, usually with a name like "Artemis" or "Demeter", or even "Brigands" & "Barbarians" (most commonly something piratey). One invites the player to swap their box for the other remaining one if they wish. The other has no effect.
If the player is allowed the swap and chooses it, they win the contents of the remaining box. Otherwise, they win the contents of the box that was picked at the start of the game.
