A: No. But keep in mind that it might give that player a reason to make you Walk the Plank, or be given the Shackles…

Q: Can the Captain be made to Walk The Plank?
A: Well, if the Captain’s Hat is in play (i.e. if there is a player designated the Captain) then that person is the one who gets to decide who Walks The Plank, so the only way the Captain could be made to Walk The Plank is if they voluntarily walk off it themselves, essentially.
Q: Can the Captain choose who gets the Shackles if another player draws them? Can the Captain move the Shackles?
A: No, and No. If the Captain themselves draws the Shackles, they can decide who will get them instead, but once they have been assigned to a person, or if they were drawn by another person in the first place, the Captain does not affect them.
You might be confusing this with the Captain’s influence over who must Walk The Plank. No matter who plays Walk The Plank, the Captain (if the Captain’s Hat is in play) gets to decide who loses all their cards.
Q: Can you make yourself Walk the Plank?
…for example, if you want to avoid making someone else win with your last card, which happens to be a Goal?
A: Yes. It says choose a player, which means you can choose any player, including yourself – unless the Captain says otherwise!
