Alright sailor, this is the final part of the guide. Everything before this was the fun storytelling about maps, magnets, ships, and treasure. Part 3 is where we explain the actual danger, because too many sea dogs wander into storms thinking they are invincible. Before I go any further, my lawyer has demanded another mandatory statement. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. THIS IS NOT PERMISSION. THIS IS A GENERAL EXPLANATION OF PEER TO PEER TECH AND COPYRIGHT NOTICES. IF YOU BREAK REAL LAWS, THAT IS YOUR CHOICE, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, AND I WILL PRETEND I NEVER HEARD YOUR NAME.

Now let us talk about how the King’s Navy reacts when they notice unusual activity from your ship. In reality, they do not roll up with cannons or chains. They do not drag you off in irons or storm your cabin. What they typically do is send a letter. It is essentially a formal warning. It is like a red wax notice nailed to your mast that says, "We saw that. Knock it off." It is more annoying than terrifying.

I have been on these metaphorical seas my entire life, and the worst thing I ever received was one of these letters. It did not sink my ship or send me into a panic, it just irritated me. These warnings are meant to scare off newcomers and remind old sailors to keep their heads down. But do not be stupid. If you ignore warnings and continue to act like a noisy idiot, the Navy may escalate, and that is how sailors end up in rusty cages. Not because they were brave, but because they lacked basic sense.

Sea Etiquette

Now we talk etiquette, because far too many sailors behave like barnacle brained disasters in these tales. These rules keep the sea flowing smoothly and save you from avoidable trouble. Think of them as the basic manners of the seven seas, the things every half decent sailor should know before they embarrass themselves in front of the whole fleet.

• Do not hit and run on every map. Seed a little and keep the current healthy.
• Do not rename your treasure into nonsense no one can understand.
• Do not grab maps that look cursed or suspicious in size or title.
• Do not open random executable files pretending to be treasure. That is how ships get cursed.
• Do not brag about your loot in public where every watcher in the town square can hear you.
• Keep your client updated so your sails catch the wind properly.
• Know the difference between a .torrent scroll and a magnet beacon so you do not confuse your own ship.

If you follow that etiquette, even in stories, you avoid most storms. Most disasters come from clicking cursed objects or ignoring the first warning nailed to your mast. If the King sends a notice, take the hint. Do not break real laws. Do not get cocky. And do not come crying to me when they hang you up in a cage by the docks for everyone to stare at.

This is the end of the guide, sailor. These seas are wild and unpredictable, and your fate on them is entirely your responsibility. SAIL STRAIGHT, SAIL TRUE, AND KEEP YER SHIP STEADY.
