Instead of dice a players action points are based on the time the previous player made their post with the exception of the first player move where the action points are based on the "Game Open" posting.

It takes 1 action point to go from area to area inside a zone.

It takes 3 action points to use the "sea lane" shortcut between zones.

It takes 5 action points to go between zones over land.

It takes 5 action points to blockade a area from other pirates for one turn.

The time of the previous persons post will tell you how many action points you have. Each number in the previous persons post is like a die roll. You get the total of the "minutes" as your die roll normally. You may add a number from the "hours" die roll as long as your die roll total is 10 or less. The maximum number of action points per turn is 15.

Using this post as an example:

The time of my original post was 9:28 am so I get 10 action points (2 + 8 = 10). Since my total is 10 or less I am able to look at the "hours" to see if I can add any more to that total. In this case my total would exceed the maximum allowed (9 hours + my initial total of 10 = 19) so I can not add the hours to my total. For this turn I have 10 action points to play with.

To create another example: if the post was made at 12:55 pm my first total is 10 like the previous example (5 + 5 = 10). Looking at the hours I see I can add both the 1 and the 2 to my total so my action points would be 1 + 2 + 5 + 5 = 13 action points. Since the total does not exceed 15 I would have 13 action points to play with during my turn.

If... you are a player who discovers that even after adding the "hours die roll" to your total you have less than 7 action points then you get 7 actions points for that turn. Seven action points is the absolute minimum number of action points per turn per player.
