What do you mean by the above statement? How do you determine the play value
of any set? I guess I am not understanding what you mean, please explain.

I have the crew from the ship the Dirty Whore, from the movie Cabin Boy in
mind. You know the one starring Chris Elliot. Funny, surreal movie that
contains a ship full of dirty, seedy mariners at odds with a smarmy, effete
prep school boy who is unwittingly a passenger on the ship. If you have not
seen the movie you should. Any how the freighter with a hydroplane and maybe
even a dive suit or two would be their mode of transportation. Their base
could be an atoll or dead volcano crater out at sea.
