Q. Hey, how do I sign up?
A. If you're in the house, you're signed up. If you're not in the house, make your way to the location depending on your ocean:




{{QA|Hi, how do I play?|Please see the Booty or No Booty/rules page for information on playing the game.

Q. Why does Nobooty have a white name?
A. Nobooty has a white name because he is a special event character. He is not an OM, nor can he magic up items.


Q. Is Nobooty real?
A. Yes, Nobooty is real. He is Piplicus on Midnight, and Piplicus on Midnight is the only character he has good standings/experience on.


Q. Why does Nobooty talk so well?
A. Nobooty is a supporter of the Campaign for Literacy on all oceans, and encourages you to capitalise your I's and remember your semicolons. It's good for you!


Q. How much money do I need to have on hand?
A. You should bring on hand as much PoE as you are willing to bet. Bids in doubloons and items will not be accepted. Generally, offers under about 30,000 PoE don't get far (that is NOT to say you must have 30,000 PoE, more that you need to bid high to have a good chance).


Q. What's a golden ticket?
A. They are gold/gold ribbons that are awarded in special contests, and you can use them to get into the hot seat.


Q. How do I get a golden ticket?
A. There are golden tickets handed out in tournaments, special events, and contests on the day. There may even be more tickets!


Q. I don't have a golden ticket. Can I still play?
A. Yes, but you need to bid money.


Q. I don't have a golden ticket OR money. What do I do?
A. Sadly, that means that you cannot play the main game. However, you can still watch the game for fun, or win a surPRIZE.


Q. Ooh, what are surPRIZES?
A. They are wrapped presents that contain, well, prizes! They range from furniture to money to trinkets, pets, and even golden tickets! Every so often, there will be a contest for winning one.


Q. What's the Switcheroo?
A. At the end of the game, the player may or may not be allowed to switch boxes. This mechanism is how we decide if they're allowed to swap or not.
