Simple feature where a player will flip a coin, this will be used for mini-game tie breakers or choosing which crew member takes the rowboat to what ever island.
You could get different skins and even a coin with both sides being heads. "heads I win, tails you win"
Never trust a pirate
I don't think it would be to hard to make and could make a few laughs.
@sailorkek Hah, that is a great idea! I would love to have a 'Pirates for all eternity' coin in game and play around with it. Got it IRL and looks so cool.
Maybe they could also add a small animation like this to use it while you wait on your ship for your mates to come with the treasure from the island.

An emote that throws out dice would be awesome too. I would create my own tortuga if I could
Some pirate codes explicitly forbade gambling amongst the crew. The charter of Captain Bartholomew Roberts ("Black Bart") from 1722 includes the line, "None shall game for money, either with dice or cards." One might imagine such rules intended to curb potential ill-will between crewmates.

banana beats wood
Wood beats cannonballs
Cannonballs beat bananas
Not sure how a banana beats wood but I think it'll loose to a cannonball so I'm going with it.
Love this suggestion. There was a post about it previously that had some great ideas as well. I like the idea of being able to flip it, and then hold it out in your hand to show which side it landed on. One side could be silver, the other gold so they're easily distinguishable. Maybe even give them a little reflection in hand like the floating treasure so they can be seen from anywhere on the ship.
@genuine-heather each captain can make any pirate codes he sees fit. But the world itself had gambling.

Obviously the world had gambling, or else pirate crews wouldn't have found it necessary to ban it. :) I was simply providing historical background information some people might find interesting and/or useful. I have no argument for or against the ability to throw dice in the game. More toys in the sandbox!
Here's another related tidbit: Captains rarely wrote the pirate code themselves. Usually the pirate code was written and agreed to by the whole crew. Pirate crews were very much democracies. Captains were elected into office by the crew, and could be removed just as easily. The only time the captain had complete authority was during battles or chases. So any prohibitions on gambling or other vices were self-imposed by the crew to promote the harmonious and efficient operation of the vessel.
