The Concept
The black spot would be a curse which befalls a player - but the conditions as to why I am still pondering. When cursed, the player will have a time limit, such as 2 in-game days, to reap a number of 'souls' (which remains undecided) for Davy Jones. If they player fails to collect these souls in time then they will be attacked by 'The Flying Dutchman' - or a skeleton ship would do until they make the Dutchman, if they even intend to. If they defeat, or outrun the Dutchman, then the Kraken will be unleashed upon them. Once they have defeated the Kraken the black spot will be removed from that player.
What Are These Souls?
The two main types of souls would be:
- Skeleton Captains.
- Other Players.
Each skeleton captain will be worth a single soul, whereas players would be worth more; possibly 5?
Why I Think his Should be Added
I feel like this would add a nice and interesting mechanic to the game to break things up a little and entice players to occasionally engage in more PvP than normal. This would add a little more of a dynamic feel to the game and make the seas more perilous and unpredictable. I feel it would also be a very fun and engaging experience to be cursed and live to tell the tale.
This would be a good opportunity to reward players with commendations or new skins for surviving the black spot.
