 * The captain has to convince (at least) three crew members to vote for his distribution, but 777 can't be divided by 4.
@@ Line 49: / Line 65: @@
 * If, at the start of a new group, the crew lets the captain walk the plank, they will be six left to split 777 gold, so on average each of the six crew members will get 129.5 dubloons. The captain can use this to his advantage, by offering more than 129.5 dubloons to three, or more, crew members and keeping the rest for himself. On the other hand, the crew members might not want to let the captain have a too large share, because this is a test where we compare the total booty per player, so if he gets too greedy they might let him walk the plank anyway. The same reasoning goes for lower numbers of pirates, the captain can divide 777 with the number of crew members to see how much he needs to offer them to make it interesting to get a distribution accepted.

 * Each crew member should be assigned between 0 and 777 gold coins.  Afterwards, the captain uses the "finalize" option. At that moment, a colored message in the group chat appears that the distribution is final and every crew member can see the share offered to them in their own test menu.
 * Once the distribution has been announced, the pirates (crew and captain!) decide if they can accept the distribution.
-* If the captain can secure an absolute majority (51% or more) to accept their distribution suggestion, the round ends and the booty is divided according to the distribution. Voting for or against the share distribution is done in the player's test menu. The captain must vote (presumably in favor) if they want to count as part of the majority.
+* If the captain can secure an absolute majority (51% or more) to accept their distribution suggestion, the round ends and the booty is divided according to the distribution. Voting for or against the share distribution is done in the player's test menu. The captain's vote does not have to be part of the majority of favorable votes; the captain can vote against but if a majority still votes in favor, the distribution is still accepted. Normally the captain votes in favor of his/her own distribution, but there have been situations where the captain has changed to 'against'.
 * If a majority votes against it, the captain walks the plank (with 0 coins) to the sharks, a new captain is randomly appointed and the procedure starts over. Voting is over as soon as an absolute majority is reached or the time limit runs out. The player can change their vote as often as they want while voting is open.
 * If there is a tie, one randomly selected group member is walking the plank (that could also be the captain). Note that all pirates need to vote and there needs to be an equal number of Accept and Reject votes, thus this is only applicable with an even number of pirates.
