Talk:Kraken

Suggested changes

Under "The Kraken" this sentence contains duplication: "Pirates can pick up pick up chests, eggs, and ink by navigating their rowboats over these treasure spots."

Under "Lifeboats" is the first occurrence of the term "lifeboat", so it should be wikilinked to the Lifeboat article. (Wikipedia policy would be to wikilink the first occurrence in text, skipping the one in the section heading, and I think that's the best way to do it here.)

Under "Rowboat Classes", there's a paragraph that reads:

As indicated in the table above, some rowboats are restricted from carrying certain types of treasure at all. For example, the Harpoon boat can carry ink, but not treasure chests.

There are only two examples, so it would be more useful to spell them out (for people who are intimidated by the chart). I would change the second sentence to: "Specifically, the Harpoon boat can carry ink, but not treasure chests, and the Powder boat cannot carry either."

Under "Special Shots", the chart entry for the powder keg states: "Anything running over a powder keg, including tentacles or rowboats will be blown up and sunk." As a minor point, there should be a comma after "rowboats". Substantively, the way real-life powder behaves is that a powder keg can explode only once, so that once a rowboat or tentacle triggers it, it's not there any more. If that's the way they work in YPP (I haven't done a KH yet), it might be useful to spell that out. In some games there are some types of hazards that persist even after claiming one victim.
