- These messages can also be sent by some other officer in your crew
- while you are off the vessel (although currently a bug means that
- if you board some _other_ vessel then these messages for the vessel
- you come back to may not be properly recorded).
-
- The program will notice that a pirate is on board if you give them
- a stationing order or they abandon a duty station (in circumstances
- where the game reports this in the log, which doesn't seem to be
- all the time), and from many of the other messages that occur.
-
- Matching for ship patterns in /a and /d commands picks the first
- of the following which applies and is not contradicted by any
- name or partial name specified in the command:
- - The ship we think the person telling us is on board
- - The ship we think we are on board
- - Any other ship we know about, if at least a something was
- specified, and provided that is not ambiguous
- - The specific ship name if it is completely specified,
- possibly recording this as a new ship
+ If you don't specify a ship, it will assume that it's the ship that
+ you (or the officer speaking) are on board. (For full details of
+ the matching algorithm, see below.) If more than one ship is being
+ managed with yoweb-scrape, any user who wishes to issue these
+ commands should say:
+ /a relevant fish: executiveofficer
+ so that everyone else's yoweb-scrape knows which ship they're on
+ and thus which ship their /a commands refer to.
