Since I noticed some ppl have problems to understand how this event works, here are some examples which will show you that this thing isn't complicated as u think.
Abut Plundering
In the Image 1 we see a medium pirate ship anchored at town A. It is ship that belongs to clan KiLa, and we know it's a medium ship by the number of his white sails. (1 sail = small ship, 2 sails = medium ship, 3 sails = large ship). Coming from the town/island B, is medium merchant ship. It carries goods (TC) shown by the $ icon.
Merchant ships move at the beginning of the turn, before players, by
one space, going from one town to another and then returning back. They follow this travel pattern until they are sunk. Upon that, another merchant ship will spawn on random location, starting his travel back and forward.
Since, it is KiLa's turn to play he can chose to do next things:
- Stay anchored on the town A and just wait for the merchant to come to him and sunk him for TC
- Move toward merchant so he can collect TC quicker
Lets, say he chooses to go for the merchant.
Since KiLa has medium ship, its speed is 2 so he can go either 1 space, or 2 spaces. And since he has a medium pirate ship, he can attack medium and small merchants.
On Image 2 we can see that KiLa moved 2 spaces, and that he is now just one space close to the merchant ship. He still can't plunder the ship since u need to occupied same spot as merchant to do that. But, that is not a problem, since next turn merchant will come to him! :]
So, next turn, merchant ship goes one more spot and encounter the KiLa. When it's KiLa turn to play again they can execute the plundering! Merchant is sunk, and KiLa is 10 K Tc richer.
Merchant ship is removed from the map, but next turn, another one will spawn somewhere and start to carry goods from some other town, back and forward.
Notice: After executing plunder KiLa still can move, back to town A, or forward to town/island B, at speed 2 (one, or two spaces)
And this is how u plunder merchant ships!

About Fighting
In the Image 1 we can see this situation:
KiLa is on their way to town A, but ghoulish Jolly Roger ship is on their tail (presented with the J icon and brown ship)!
It is Jolly Roger's turn to play, and we can see that they have a large pirate ship, with sped 1. Since only one spot is between Jolly and KiLa, we know that Jolly can move on the same spot as KiLa and attack them!
And that is exactly what Jolly Roger do! Upon coming into same spot as KiLa, Jolly decides to attack and try to sunk KiLa ship, they also want to get the TC that KiLa collected so far (it is 10 K, from previous example).
So, now we go in the Toribash game to resolve this fight between two ships/clans.
As we know, KiLa has a medium ship, and that means they have 3 crew members, while Jolly have large ship and 4 crew members.
Since KiLa is defending they can chose the mod of the game that will be used during the whole fight. Let's say they chose aikido. So now one clan member from the KiLa and one clan member from the Jolly Roger enter the room and fight one game of aikido!
The winner, stays in the room, the loser is out of the fight, and then next player enters the room to fight the one that have win previous game.
Clan/ship that loses whole figh is the one that have lost all his crew members in the fight.
Look the images below and see the resolve.
As you can see, all KiLa crew members lost their fights, and by that they have lost clan war and their ship!
Final resolve look like this:
So, KiLa's ship is sunken, they are out of the event, but thay can return if they chose to buy another ship and continue the quest.
Jolly Roger won, and they have 70% of the KiLa's earnings in the event. 70% of 10 K TC is 7 K. That amount of TC will Jolly Roger gain.
Jolly Rogers's crew members are replenished after this (although we see they lost one crew member, they go back to 4 after the fight)
Notice: Since some clan members can't come that day on event because real life obligations, or GMT, it is possible that another clan member ''substitute''(play role) of the missing clan member.
And this is how you fight.
