Hot Potato

Hot Potato is a treasure event, where a randomly chosen pirate accidentally sets an exploding cannonball alight. Crew members must pass the cannonball from pirate to pirate, until an invisible timer expires. The pirate holding the cannonball at this moment is then thrown overboard. If the pirate thrown overboard was a human, the pirate who threw the cannonball to that player will become a ghost.
Pirates may throw the cannonball to any other crew member, except the pirate that threw the cannonball to them (no backsies!).
The amount of time before the cannonball explodes is random, and is longer if the 'Longer Timers' option is enabled in the options menu.
==Strategies==
The timer is a random amount between 20 and 35 seconds. If you have longer timers enabled, there is an extra 20 seconds.
