WWLXII: Dead Men Do Tell Tales

[Brinniel]

It was th' crack 'o dawn 'n th' corsair ship Grey Gaurhoth stood ready to set sail. Cap'n Black Death Brinn was th' first to come on deck; she examined her ship, admirin' its beauty. It had be too long since Brinn had last sailed 'n she was anxious to return to th' sea as she waited fer her crew to arrive.

It wasn't long before her first matey Shark Tooth Shasta appeared. Th' pair greeted each other wit' a brief "Arrrr," 'n Shasta took his position at Cap'n Brinn's side. Th' next to arrive was th' quartermaster Lommy th' Infected.
"You aren't infected wit' anythin' contagious, be ye?" Cap'n Brinn asked before she stepped on deck.
"Uhhh...nay," Lommy replied wit' hesitation.
"Very well then. Welcome aboard," Cap'n Brinn said wit' a grunt.

Th' Bosun Slippery McCabbie Dagger made his appearance plenty early, ready to yell at some scurvy dogs. Almost-Blind Nerwen, th' sea artist, stumbled aboard, her tattered eye patch askew to reveal an empty eye socket. As she approached th' cap'n, Brinn could see her remainin' eye was slightly milky.
"Don't worry," Nerwen reassured. "I don't need sight to navigate 'tis ship. I be knowin' th' seven seas like th' back 'o me hand."
Th' pilot Gangrenous Inziladun Jones followed Nerwen, hobblin' on a newly fitted peg leg.
"What happened?" Black Death Brinn asked, pointin' at th' peg leg.
"What do ye think happened?" Inziladun Jones answered bitterly.

Puffy Shirt Rikae, th' cabin boy (or rather, cabin girl), eagerly hopped on deck. "Here I be cap'n, ready to serve," she said.
"Hmm...you look a wee bit barnacle-covered to be cabin boy. What's ye age?" Cap'n Brinn asked curiously.
"Umm...thirteen?" came th' reply.
"Hmph, well ye better lay off th' spiced rum then lassie, because ye certainly don't look thirteen. Be off on then." 'N Puffy Shirt Rikae scurried away.
Next, Snifflin' Mac Sparrow, th' ship cooper, walked on deck too busy wit' his nose buried in a hankie to greet th' rest 'o th' crew. He walked past Brinn, mutterin' somethin' she could not understand, as his words were muffled by th' hankie.

Th' surgeon High-Pitched Annu brought her own saw onto th' ship.
"Ahoy cap'n," she squeaked. "Are me services needed yet?"
"Nay," Black Death Brinn replied. Glancin' over at th' crew, she continued, "but I'm sure it won't be long before I'm gunna."
Th' solo carpenter Legless Sally Dawkins followed Annu carryin' a similar saw. She stepped on deck wit' an unusual grace considerin' she had no legs.

Th' gunner Boromir th' Malformed arrived wit' a great scowl on his malformed face.
"Where's th' other gunner?" Cap'n Brinn asked.
Boromir shrugged, "I dunno. Probably off smokin' his pipe somewhere I'll bet, that swab." Boromir gave a growl, then went on to his business.
Th' piper Poop Deck Kath stepped on th' poop deck, her pipe in hand. She was followed by Whinin' Eomer Bonny who was busy explainin' to Kath how he came by his violin.

Th' strikers Dancin' Mira Blythe 'n Ham-Hands Izzy already proved to do their jobs well as they brought wit' them a collection 'o dead turtles, birds, 'n plants. They dropped their hunt in front 'o Black Death Brinn wit' a great grin on their faces. As th' strikers walked off, th' cooks approached th' ship. Stutterin' Wilwa Scab 'n Short Ruth Mithril came to greet th' cap'n only to find a supply 'o in dead thin's thrusted in their faces.
"Better be off th' galley wit' ye," Cap'n Brinn grunted. "Me hearties gunna be plenty famished by supper 'n thar be a lot 'o grub to be fixed."

Th' powder monkeys were th' last to arrive. First came Cowerin' Gwath Dagger 'n behind him was Lil' Green th' Staggerin' Drunk, who almost staggered off th' plankway. They were followed by Stinkin' Eön Bloodbeard, who was lookin' rather lost.
"What be ye supposed to be doin'?" inquired Cap'n Brinn.
"Umm...I'm not sure," Eön Bloodbeard replied wit' a shrug.
"Well then, ye can join th' powder monkeys. Now ye be off!"

Cap'n Black Death Brinn looked around her ship to find a full crew. "Well, looks like everyone's here," she stated. "Forward ho we go."
But as they began to brin' up th' plankway, Nogrod th' Fashionably Late came runnin'. "Belay!" he cried out. "Wait fer me!" Pantin', he only barely made his way onboard.
"Fashionably late," Cap'n Brinn grumbled. "More like regrettably late. Consider yourself lucky if I'm generous be all I can take to spare ye from a lashin', ye hear?" she shouted at him.

'N now wit' all twenty-one hands on deck, they were ready to be off. Th' crew went to their posts 'n th' Grey Gaurhoth began to make its way off th' Haven 'o Umbar. As they guided th' ship in direction 'o th' sea, th' corsairs 'o course sang their favourite song:

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and in flame and ignite.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villians and knaves.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.


The game has not started yet. No posting please.

Two weeks later....

Th' Grey Gaurhoth had sailed far 'n by now th' crew was well into their routine. Th' sea was calm, 'n so far thar had be no storms. Th' stench 'o sweat, dead rats, 'n other unpleasant thin's I'd rather not describe had already set in throughout th' ship. Th' corsairs were in jolly spirits as they sang 'n danced 'n drank their grog. They were well on course as they headed towards unknown lands to pillage 'n plunder; th' crew was rather anxious to find themselves some loot.

Unbeknownst to them, thar was a storm a' brewin'. Hidden away below in th' lowest level 'o th' ship, four corsairs discussed their dissatisfaction wit' how th' ship was bein' run. They wanted change 'n they wanted thin's to be run their way. 'N these corsairs would stop at nothin' to get what they wanted. Huddled together, th' four aggressors plotted 'n schemed. T'night they would take action. T'night thin's would finally change fer th' better.

Fer th' rest 'o th' crew, they had no idea what was in store fer them. Fer many 'o them, these aggressors' schemes would see them to Davy Jones.

Night has begun. Aggressors start plotting. Everyone else remain silent.

[Brinniel]

Th' crew rose early th' next mornin', expectin' a typical mornin' at sea. But th' fates would have it otherwise. On top 'o th' deck, they discovered their cap'n, or rather what remained 'o her. Poor Black Death Brinn had finally reached th' end 'o her luck. Th' encounter she had last nightfall was unfortunate 'n all thar was left to show was her head on a pike. Tacked on her forehead was a note which read, 'Tis be our ship now. Ye be threatened. Do not cross us or ye shall have a black spot on ye. 'An 'tis warnin' was followed wit':

We murder, we slaughter, we mangle and maul.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We torment and butcher and watch our prey fall.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a cutthroat’s life for me.
We abuse and harass, we smash and stab.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Destroy and dispatch anyone we can grab.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a cutthroat’s life for me.
We stifle and smother, we entice then stamp out.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We’ll do everyone in, we're evil no doubt.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're cold-blooded killers, we're baddies and foes.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We're bloodthirsty werewolves, we're every gull’s woe.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're vicious and savage and don’t show compassion,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
But even as hoodlums, we’ll do it in fashion,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a cutthroat’s life for me.

"Oh no, they ruined our song," complained th' musicians Whinin' Eomer 'n Poop Deck Kath.
"Well now what be we supposed to do?" th' quartermaster Lommy th' Infected asked Shark Tooth Shasta.
"What be ye askin' me fer?" replied th' first matey. "I'm not th'- wait....shiver me timbers, I be now, aren't I?"
Everyone rolled their eyes at th' slow one.

Luckily, poor Shark Tooth Shasta didn't have to make any decisions as Black Death Brinn had not yet said her final words.
"Well, what ye all be waitin' fer?" said th' head on th' pike. "Avenge me, ye scurvy dogs!"

Followin' th' cap'n's orders, th' crew got busy. Th' days to come would certainly not be easy.

Day 1 has begun. Ye scallywags may now discuss.

[McCaber]

Aye then, it seems clear to me. When th' Captain meets Davy Jones, the First Mate gets the plunder, is the code of the seas. Now we've got a man with a motive and an opportunity. What more do ye need fer a verdict?

[Inziladun]

Yar. Loyalty be th' question here. What's the Cap'n done to deserve th' likes o' that? We has traitors in our midst. Them dogs be too treacherous even for pirates, says I. To th' sharks with th' lot o' em!

[Nerwen]

We has traitors in our midst. Them dogs be too treacherous even for pirates, says I. To th' sharks with th' lot o' em!

An' how will ye be knowin' which o' the crew be guilty, ye fool of a gangrenous bilge rat?

(I'd roll me eyes, but... ye know how 'tis...)

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Aye then, it seems clear to me. When th' Captain meets Davy Jones, the First Mate gets the plunder, is the code of the seas. Now we've got a man with a motive and an opportunity. What more do ye need fer a verdict?

Arr. Never were there a more generous, beautiful, wild, free Cap'n as our Black Death Brinn, and for any lubber who thinks I had a hand 'n her trip to Davy Jones... bah, say I! Rubbish!

[Kath]

I must send me apologies, but I'll be in me cabin for a few hours yet ... apparently attempting to learn how to speak in pirate. All I seem to manage is vaguely west country! :D (RL: I'm out til 6.)

[Thinlómien]

@#¤%&!! I should've ben Lommy the Language-Handcap'd, not Lommy the Infected, fer me pirate English sucks. I can only say YARR! but then again, that might be just enough. ;) I'll be observin' ye others carefully 'n' copyin' yer style. :D

What else? I have no bloody stinking infected idea who the baddies are, but we're here to discover it, nay? So, lemme start with me notes: McCaber - awful quick t' lick Shasta's [insert a censorship worthy word here]. Inziladun - awful quick t' start throwing people off board. Nerwen - awful quick t' condemn Inzie. Shasta - awful quick t' defend himself. Kath - awful quick t' be off. Suspicious lot, eh? Oh, forgot one: Lommy - awful quick t' draw conclusions. :p

But speak, ye silent 'uns! Yer quartermaster commands ye to.

[A Little Green]

But speak, ye silent 'uns! Yer quartermaster commands ye to.Aye! What d'ye want me t' say? Th' ones that be guilty o' th' murder o' me cap'n oughta walk th' plank 'n' get acquainted with th' sharks!

[Nogrod]

Oh you language-abusin', tongue-festering, stutterin' exploiters of linguistic decency! You should all kiss the gunner's daughter! Now!

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Oh you language-abusin', tongue-festering, stutterin' exploiters of linguistic decency! You should all kiss the gunner's daughter! Now!

Yar, be this a comely lass Nogrod?

[Nerwen]

Be it quartermaster ye be orderin' to kiss th' gunner's daughter, ye swab? Ye'll keep a civil tongue in yer head when speakin' to yer betters, or I'll ha' it out wi' ye meself. I be still a fair hand wi' a dagger, even if me deadlights be not what they were.

Arr, this be a rum start. Who be Cap'n now? Be it Shark Tooth... or be it still Black Death? Be the head still livin'?

EDIT:X'd with Eomer.

[Boromir88]

Be it quartermaster ye be orderin' to kiss th' gunner's daughter, ye swab? Ye'll keep a civil tongue in yer head when speakin' to yer betters, or I'll ha' it out wi' ye meself. I be still a fair hand wi' a dagger, even if me deadlights be not what they were.~Nerwen
Betters huh? Ye best be watchin' who ye ar' talkin' to, ye haf-blind rapscallion. Aye, 'specially when we gunners can blast a' 8 inch hole in yer belly Gar.

But speak, ye silent 'uns! Yer quartermaster commands ye to.~Lommy
Ye be might' quick complainin' about yer weak pirate speak.

Arr, whar is the rum? A pence for a' old man Cap'n?

[Eönwë]

Yar indeed, me mateys (ar not, as the case meh' be). Tis crew be fallin' t' shambles ahlre'dy.

We shud be workin' together, nah tryin' ta kill t'others so quick.



PS. I be learnin' t' speak t' pirate way. It be takin' plenty o' time fer me t' get used t' writin' tis way.

[Eönwë]

Aye, 'specially when we gunners can blast a' 8 inch hole in yer belly Gar.
Arr! But ye may be not gettin' t' powder if me, slasher n' t' drunk na' be givin' ye some.

[Nerwen]

Betters huh? Ye best be watchin' who ye ar' talkin' to, ye haf-blind rapscallion. Aye, 'specially when we gunners can blast a' 8 inch hole in yer belly Gar.

Arr, ye be steerin' near the wind, ye malformed bilge-rat. I'll warrant I could take ye on, an' see the colour o' yer insides, blind or no.

'Tis a scurvy lay o' ye to be mockin' a respected sea artist wha' had lost more'n half her eyesight keepin' ships on course for the benefit o' dogs like ye.

Edit: X'd with Eönwë (twice).

[Brinniel]

Who be Cap'n now? Be it Shark Tooth... or be it still Black Death? Be the head still livin'?

I may be dead, but so long as I be shoutin', I be givin' th' orders. But me first matey can represent me physical form as it seems me body has be fed to th' fishes...

[Macalaure]

Ihr Landratten und Pfeffersäcke! Der Käpt'n is' tot un' was muss ich hier seh'n? 'N Hauf'n Möchtegern-Piraten die sich komische Worte um die Ohren hau'n. Wenn der alte Störtebeker noch am Leben wär, der würd' euch hier ma' zeigen wo's lang geht!

Was'n los? Was schaut ihr mich alle so an? Arrr, ok... I'll join in yar silly language...


When th' Captain meets Davy Jones, the First Mate gets the plunder, is the code of the seas.

That's not how it goes among us Likedeelers. Equal share for ev'ryone! Maybe both the Bos'n and the First Mate shall walk th' plank?


@#¤%&!! I should've ben Lommy the Language-Handcap'd, not Lommy the Infected, fer me pirate English sucks. I can only say YARR! but then again, that might be just enough. ;) I'll be observin' ye others carefully 'n' copyin' yer style. :D

Aye that.

[Inziladun]

An' how will ye be knowin' which o' the crew be guilty, ye fool of a gangrenous bilge rat?

(I'd roll me eyes, but... ye know how 'tis...)

Well o' course we don't be knowin' who th' guilty 'uns be just yet, but sniffin' out them bilge rats be now our task. O' course, there may be one or two o' ye who be approvin' o' the fate o' the Cap'n, thinkin' th' traitors'll be rewardin' ye. Looks like th' sharks be gettin' their fill for awhile.
I don't be knowin' the stinkin' curs just yet.
Shasta ha' the' most ta gain from Cap'n Brinn's demise, but doin' somethin' like that....he'd a had ta know we'd look to him straight off.
Quartermaster Lommy's come out givin' orders! Tryin' ta organize th' crew agin the threat, or feelin' us out fer words ta help th' cause o' her nerarious mates?
Ah, ye scurvy dogs. This lot'll take time ta' sort out.

[Rikae]

Arr! Mebbe you scrappy landlubbers could start talkn' about what we be tryin' t' do here, instead a' fightin' amongst yerselves, ye pack of pox-infested swine!

I be a' thinkin' fer instance, that even though th' cap'n (or somebody) sez tha we won't learn th' alignment o' the scurvy dog we force to walk the plank each day, there's one man among us who be th' exception to that rule, if yer catch my drift.

Now, on t' more pressin' matters. Why is the rum gone?

[Rikae]

Mac, I be willin' an' able t' translate fer ye, ef y' like. Here be a sample o' me work:

Ihr Landratten und Pfeffersäcke! Der Käpt'n is' tot un' was muss ich hier seh'n? 'N Hauf'n Möchtegern-Piraten die sich komische Worte um die Ohren hau'n. Wenn der alte Störtebeker noch am Leben wär, der würd' euch hier ma' zeigen wo's lang geht!

Was'n los? Was schaut ihr mich alle so an? Arrr, ok...

Ye landlubber n' peppersacks (?)! Yer cap'n be dead n' what do I see here? I'm a mutineer I'm a mutineer I'm a mutineer that be confusin' yer ears w' me stranga words! When th' old cap'n were still alive, he (she) would show ye that I'm a mutineer! String me up!

Wha' be this? Why be ye lookin' at me like that? Arr, ok... (I'm a mutineer)

[Nerwen]

I be a' thinkin' fer instance, that even though th' cap'n (or somebody) sez tha we won't learn th' alignment o' the scurvy dog we force to walk the plank each day, there's one man among us who be th' exception to that rule, if yer catch my drift.

Nay, ye'd best be explainin' yerself. I've heard now't o' that.

Now, on t' more pressin' matters. Why is the rum gone?

Rum? What need ha' a wee young lass like ye for rum?

[Nerwen]

Be Snifflin' Mac Sparrow confessin'?

[Rikae]

Nay, ye'd best be explainin' yerself. I've heard now't o' that.

It's right thar in th' contract, me hearty,ef ye got' th' eyes t' see . Ye just ha' t' think on it apiece.


Rum? What need ha' a wee young lass like ye for rum?


I may be a lass, but wee I ain't.

Be Snifflin' Mac Sparrow confessin'?

So it seems. What do ya have to say fer yerself, Snifflin' Mac?

[Mithalwen]

My mind is being gnawed by the cankering tooth of mystery. There is much to do today for a piratical maid-of-all -work in the galley so I do not have longto decipher the ramblings of my crewmates. few though they have been thus far. I shall see what may be done ere I go - or it will be nowt but ships' biscuit for supper...

[Kath]

Just have to say, I'm quite proud I understood three quarters of what Mac said! Even with Rikae's 'translation'.

I'd say I'm here and reading but, well, what is there to read? I'm kinda hoping all this fun pirate talk doesn't mean that's all we get on Day 1. Ooh get me, don't I sound like Nog! *shoots self*

Anyway, basically, I'm around.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Arrr, avast, ye layabouts! It'll be gruel fer the lot o' ye if'n ye don't find the scurvy curs what did this ter Cap'n Brinn!

[Inziladun]

Looks like much o' th' crew still be hidin' in their beds. T'will be a bad business if we don't get one o' the dogs today.
Yar, I be thinkin' thar not be much t' go on right now. Guessin's not th' best way t' go, but could be all we c'n do if things dun't change.

[Rikae]

Enough chat. Somebody needs to get things rolling around here, says I.

++Inziladun

In th' interests of commencing with th' vengeance.

[Mithalwen]

Seems I must vote before some have spoken. Nogrod worries me with his obsession with the lash. And Lommie is quite bossy too hmm .

Actually I really don't feel confident voting today on this turn out

[Mirandir]

Avest me hearties and...such things. I'm going out again but I'll be back (hopefully) in a few hours.

[Annunfuiniel]

Shiver My Timbers, shiver My Soul/Yo Ho He Ho/There are men whos hearts as black as coal

And they sailed there ship across the ocean blue/A Blood thirsty captain and a cut throat crew./Its a darker tale as was ever told/Of a lust for treasure and a love of gold.../

Shiver My Timbers, Shiver my sides/Yo ho he ho/
There are hungers as strong as the winds and tides/Yo ho he ho/

And those bucaneers drowned there sins in rum,/The devil himself would have to call em scum!/Every man on board would have killed his mate for a bag of ginnys or a piece of eight, a piece of eight, a piece of eight…

Thar be a lot o' sense in those lyrics, aye! Fer th' grim fate o' our good ol' cap'n seems t' be havin' made ye all addled. Me saw be ready fer I deem 't be needed in nay time... Alas, if ye be dancin' with Jack Ketch o' walkin' the plank, me art be o' no use t' ye...

So, upon whom t' place th' Black Spot? Me mateys, I be havin' no clue...

[Boromir88]

Arr! What be we goin' t' do about the ghosts?

An' whar is that daft squiffy Nogrod? This be most unusual. An' whar be the res' of ye swine? Get t' work! Just because the Cap'n be dead does not mean ye can a'oid yer duties.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Yar! I be needing to vote afore the main action is happening, I declare. Well, I'm at least going to aid in the inquisition by getting folk to start flinging more substantial verbal potshots.

I'm not sure about keeping Nogrod alive - this daughter of his interests me, naturally, so I'm wondering how she'll react to a slaughter that way.

Others have not caught my eye but let's choose one of them. Arr, how about Mirandir? What does 'avest' mean anyway?

++MIRANDIR

[Nogrod]

Blistering barnacles!

Oh you bunch o' scoundrels, jellyfish, troglodytes, toffee-noses, toads ,
carpet-sellers, iconoclasts, ectoplasms and freshwater swabs...

*Wait... a wee bit wrong genre*

Let's pick the guns matey if this ain't endin' soon!


But yeah. Fun but just too laborous for someone whose command of English is not even near the native-level. Sorry to spoil the party but I'm going to turn into a more commnish mode of speech - some "oh you scurvy dogs!" surely be included.

So what? Macalaure made a confession in German? He should know that quite many of us could read his text... A joke then, but from which alignment? I'd say cobbler's alignment at the moment.

And Rikae voted for Inziladun for no notified reason whatsoever (well, vengeance, but for what?)

Otherwise... well nothing's being actually said. Fun, right. But not too helpful.

I'm beginning to sound like me... *shoots self - following Kath's example*

[A Little Green]

Arr, whar is the rum?
Now, on t' more pressin' matters. Why is the rum gone?*burp*

Seriously, though, we need t' get serious wi' this if we want t' find th' scum that killed th' cap'n. Th' problem wi' th' likes o' me be that I don't know where t' start th' serious talk. Th' sole thing that comes to me mind is that I don't be likin' th' amount of sailors hidin' in their bunks. Whar be Sally? Izzy? Wilwa? Or me powder monkey -comrade Gwathy?

Arr! What be we goin' t' do about the ghosts?(Ye love th' word 'arr', don't ye?) Dunno if thar be much we can do about those. 'Tis a bit disturbin' that we don't be knowin' whether or not we made th' righ' person walk th' plank -'n' we won't be knowin' how many mutineers we still have amongst us either.


x-ed wi' th' fashionably late

[Annunfuiniel]

I be a' thinkin' fer instance, that even though th' cap'n (or somebody) sez tha we won't learn th' alignment o' the scurvy dog we force to walk the plank each day, there's one man among us who be th' exception to that rule, if yer catch my drift.

Ye be talkin' 'bout th' 'venger?

[Thinlómien]

This game's givin me more headache than me infection ever does - why dun ye mateys speak? 'Tis just all jolly ol' pirate talk and banterin 'round. Not good fer meh, 'tis already soon midnight here in me time zoney. (Th' deadline be 7am so dun expect me t' post anywhere neer it.)

You should all kiss the gunner's daughter!Which un o' us? :Merisu:

Tryin' ta organize th' crew agin the threat, or feelin' us out fer words ta help th' cause o' her nerarious mates? Yer all me shipmates, remember. ;)


Arr! Mebbe you scrappy landlubbers could start talkn' about what we be tryin' t' do here, instead a' fightin' amongst yerselves, ye pack of pox-infested swine!Hey, 'tis me who's th' Infected 'un, not th' others! :smokin:

An' is it just me and me non-existent skills in German, or does Rikae's translation seem a bit rot'n? Like, seems she invent'd a few o' "I'm a mutineer"s there, right-o?

Seriously, though, we need t' get serious wi' this if we want t' find th' scum that killed th' cap'n. Th' problem wi' th' likes o' me be that I don't know where t' start th' serious talk.Aye! Arr! I can only start blamin' those who've ben 'round but haven't started talkin seriously - which's half o' th' crew!


edit: xed with Annu Olutkannu

[Thinlómien]

Just one more pointey fer ye t' consider - what abou' th' dead who do tell tales? Is there somethin special we have t' take into accountey considerin it? Well at least we have to be careful about th' dead talking 'cos they may be evil just as well as others and th' thing that's worryin me fer the moment is that we won' learn whether the guys we make walk the plank are evil or not so we're gonna be unable to draw any conclusions about stuff and we of course can't trust th' ghosts anymore than th' living - I tell ye, this is gonna be hard. Givin me headache, like I says already.

Ye love th' word 'arr', don't ye?~Greenie
Arr, I do. Arr, as long as th' dogs continue to clam up faster than a dead man, I be continuin' to say arr, until me am ou' o' the grumpy mood. Luckily, if ye start talkin' me will be out o' 'tis quickly.

++Nogrod

He be catchin' my suspicion, with Mac's "confession." Could be fo' laughs, but 'tis hardly somethin' t' joke about.

Me be quite a'right with Eomer, Rikae, Mith, an' Nerwen. E'eryone else be inconcluse.

[A Little Green]

Which un o' us?Me, o' course. Ye be infected, ye know. No un wants t' kiss an infected un. :Merisu:

[Nogrod]

Agrees with the gunner's daughter... Kiss her! :)

Hah Boro mate, whassup?

You'd be the cobbler then (you wouldn't try that as innocent or as a baddie I think - surely not as an innocent)?

Fine and dandy. We'll see about it sooner or later.

But I do not like the votes this far, none of them. Early (?) in the Day and basically just banter behind us... and all that. Yes and agreed. But even voting at this time should be based on something that could be shared and discussed. Only Boro states a reason - even if it's a bit odd (c'mon, I don't understand German! Well, a few words but that's it).

Now we just have to face their votes, and let me bet none of those voters will be lynched toDay. So the safest possible option. Let me guess more: the one lynched toDay will be someone who has actually tried to do something and has been around also later this Day (or then we'll go for the submarines, but my trust for that happy decision is faint indeed).

[Boromir88]

Hah Boro mate, whassup?~Nogrod
Ye determined mightee fas' that I be the cobbler...quickly dismissin' the rest of th' choices. Whassup, with ye matey?

[Nogrod]

Ye determined mightee fas' that I be the cobbler...quickly dismissin' the rest of th' choices. Whassup, with ye matey?

(you wouldn't try that as innocent or as a baddie I think - surely not as an innocent)I'd say you were a lot faster - you also didn't just speculate but actually voted which is a bit more hasty; at least when it seems you were not in a hurry to get away not being able to come back any more... Hmm...

[Gwathagor]

Or me powder monkey -comrade Gwathy?



I'll have ye know I killed the last no-good, scurvy sea-dog that called me such.

[Boromir88]

I'd say you were a lot faster - you also didn't just speculate but actually voted which is a bit more hasty; at least when it seems you were not in a hurry to get away not being able to come back any more... Hmm...~Nogrod
Thar be retractables, ye should know how me enjoy them. 'Tis a dirty habit of mine. Aye, if yer infected daughter be har she would say "Pirate Boro's 'ote won't stick." Ye be not aware o' 'tis by now?

[Kath]

So the deadline for me ... 5am! Yeah, I'll be voting early. :D Going to see if there is anything worth translating in this madness with which to form a vote.

[satansaloser2005]

Ahoy there, me mateys! To the depths with those of ye what killed the cap'n, and the rest of us shall celebrate ye death with rum and cake and rum and meat and rum and....and pies....and rum cakes....rum meat....and rum pies and....and some rum, because we best not be forgettin' the rum!

Never mind me absence so far t'day, I been makin' meself a new pair o' legs! Fine ones too, as ye all will see tomorro' when I finish them....if those traiterous, coward-hearted, yeasty codpieces don't carve them all up funny in th' night!

And belay all this funny talk. Let's get down t' some lynching, avenge th' capn's demise and make the next d'mise one d'yours! (See, I be a classy pirate and speak that pretty French tongue.....they be th' ones what thought of 'parley' ye know, and I won't be giving quarter to none of ye feckless ingrates what insults me fancy pirate tongue, so ye know in advance....)

Ye determined mightee fas' that I be the cobbler...quickly dismissin' the rest of th' choices. Whassup, with ye matey?

Are ye sayin' that ye ain't a cobbler, but something that be more sinister? If that be th' case, then to th' locker with ye!

(And we best be remembering that there be two cobblers in this game, so mighty duels between two of our crew may be just two show-offs shooting wet powder!)

I'll have ye know I killed the last no-good, scurvy sea-dog that called me such.

Good thing I ain't one of them no-good kinds then, ain't it, Bilge Rat Gwathie-poo?:Merisu: (And I think I may be walkin' the plank for that later, so if I be missing another limb come morn, ye all know who to blame)


I see th' landlubber Annu, the girly maggot, has been making holes in me -which is to say Cap'n Brinn's- ship with his fancy doctor tools, throwing them about an' th' like. I best be sanding the deck a bit so it'll be easier to clean up the blood after the end of th' Day's killin'.


(Okay, Sally with her legs here now. Wow, that's super fun! Anyway, I've a board meeting to attend in a few minutes so I'll be gone for several hours, but should be back plenty of time before deadline. If for some awful reason my internet doesn't work I'll at least drive down the street and try to pop off a vote before Nightfall. Love reading all your posts; they're hilarious!)


ETA: x'd with that pipe smoker....erm, player, Kath:p

[Kath]

McCaber - hey it's reasoning! :D So Shasta there.

Nerwen - fair point, need to think about who you're attacking.

Shasta - defending already! Suspicious there. :p

Lommy - should be lynched for the [insert censorship worthy word] bit ... I spent ages working out what it might be! Has some very good points about the dead.

Nog - this is where I'm slightly confused. He says Mac made a confession, knowing many of us (which makes it sound like he's including himself) could read it ... I could read a bit of it and I don't think he confessed. Thus the confusion. Oh ... apparently does not understand German. Well that makes a little more sense, still think it makes Boro's vote understandable though.

Eomer - votes Mira randomly.

Boro - thinks Nog is too quiet. Votes Nog. Consistent I suppose! But actually votes Nog for the Mac thing, so I kinda agree.

Eonwe - 'we should be working together' ... well, yes, thanks Captain Obvious.

Mac - even with my limited understanding of German I am pretty sure that he did not 'confess' there in anyway. I got about three-quarters of it and while I doubt I'd know the words for Cobbler or whatever it was Rikae said I still don't think he said them! I only make this a point because of Nog picking up on it. Ah it was mutineer.

Rikae - votes Inzil to get the ball rolling.

Mith - suspects Nog and Lommy.

sally - pokes Boro a bit.

Sooooo . . . nothing at all on Annu, Mira, Greenie and Inzil.

Barely a thing on most of the rest to be honest though!

I'm going to vote:

++EONWE

For being Captain Obvious. There were a couple of others who were making the same old points but his seemed particularly pithy.

[Eönwë]

time zoney.
I be laughin' at tis.

rum and cake and rum and meat and rum and....and pies....and rum cakes....rum meat....and rum pies and....and some rum, because we best not be forgettin' the rum!
T' best food (When t' cake's na' mago'y, an' t' meat's good). Arr, mateys!


Well, we best be gettin' t'work 'ere.

I think tha' th' biggest problem'll be findin' ou' who's an aggressor when tey're dead. Tey can still mess wi' ye then, even if tey can't kill ye.

An' why ye be worryin' bout' t'avenger, Rikae? We don' wan' them t' reveal so early so we sh'd stop talkin' about tis afore t' aggressors find out sum'tin' useful.

[Eönwë]

People be confusin'. It be hard t' choose who t' vote.

edit: an' why be it so quiet?

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Nawt s'hard, given this 'un's co-consipiratorial tendencies. Arrr, Shark Tooth's had some good hard book larnin!

++Boromir

[Eönwë]

I need t' go now, so I be votin':

++Rikae

She seems t' be actin' too helpful, an' she be drawin' te much attention te t'ranger, an' she be changin Mac's words. 'Tat last 'un could a joke but we have nuthin' else to go on (It be Day 1 an' we know nuthin' yet). An' even so, tere's t'other points.

It be gettin' late in me time zone, so I be gone now.

[Inziladun]

Enough chat. Somebody needs to get things rolling around here, says I.

++Inziladun

In th' interests of commencing with th' vengeance.

Don't rightly know whar that be comin' from. Vengeance fer what, I be wondrin'?

Actually I really don't feel confident voting today on this turn out

Aye. I'm gunna give it a bit more time t' see who else be givin' their thoughts, n' t' look over what's been said.
Kath's list be lookin' sensible, I'm thinkin'.

[Eönwë]

Arr! A final post. I be writin' a list if I still be livin' tomorrow.

[Boromir88]

It may seem bleak t' not know the true identity o' those we do sink t'Davy Jone's locker. but, remember the warwol'es be in the same boat. They be not knowin' who they sink, unless they go after the person a second time. That means we have a known innocent, who can't 'ote, but can still cause trouble for the wol'es. If ye be killed, yer duty is not done, attempt t' ruffle th' wol'es fur as much as possible. Ha'ing a wolf kill ali'e an' talkin' th' next day will be 'ery useful, an' we should use that knowledge t' our ad'antage, aye.

Arr! Me could ha'e ne'er seen Shasta's 'ote coming! :rolleyes:

[Gwathagor]

Eonwe - 'we should be working together' ... well, yes, thanks Captain Obvious.

[...]

I'm going to vote:

++EONWE

For being Captain Obvious. There were a couple of others who were making the same old points but his seemed particularly pithy.

No 'ard feelins to me pal Eonwe, but I've been noticin' in past games that he mostly tends to repeat what his mates 'ave already been sayin'. It don't matter much whether he be sound or rotten, he surely wears his Captain Obvious hat and sails in his Captain Obvious ship.

Don't rightly know whar that be comin' from. Vengeance fer what, I be wondrin'?


I know ye ain't askin' my opinion, mate, but the way I figure it, Rikae is mostly tryin' to get things movin'. Stir the kettle and make the scum rise to the top, if ye catch me drift. I wouldn't take her vote too hard, bucko. And that there vengeance of which she be speakin' so glibly is (this pirate assumes) vengeance for our captain's death. Ye'd best be speakin' up and correctin' the error of me ways, Rikae, if I've got the wrong idea.

It may seem bleak t' not know the true identity o' those we do sink t'Davy Jone's locker. but, remember the warwol'es be in the same boat. They be not knowin' who they sink, unless they go after the person a second time. That means we have a known innocent, who can't 'ote, but can still cause trouble for the wol'es. If ye be killed, yer duty is not done, attempt t' ruffle th' wol'es fur as much as possible. Ha'ing a wolf kill ali'e an' talkin' th' next day will be 'ery useful, an' we should use that knowledge t' our ad'antage, aye.


Oh, aye, Boro. And what'll be even greater fun will be trying to sift between more 'n one gifted reveal - when it comes to such things. About as much fun as a cat o' nine tails, arr, and by which I mean none at all. It will right hard to guess which bucko be tellin' the truth without we be wastin' a day by killin' 'em a second time.

[Nogrod]

I think tha' th' biggest problem'll be findin' ou' who's an aggressor when tey're dead. Tey can still mess wi' ye then, even if tey can't kill ye.Right so. But also, you'll see those innocents (ordinaries at least) killed be fading away from the thread sooner or later and those who are baddies hanging around persistently. Easy? :) But there is truth in that.

Also Boro speaks wisely. Those killed during the Nights are "known innocents", although they might be cobblers and thus listening to them would be hazardous... But anyway, I'd trust a person killed by Night a bit more than someone else just for the reason that person is not a wolf. With the reservations already mentioned.

And I would peg those Night-killed to take their time to share their thoguhts with us on the Days to come and not just fade away. You'd be helpful.

[A Little Green]

I'll have ye know I killed the last no-good, scurvy sea-dog that called me such.D'ye reckon I be frightened? I be no dog, I be th' famous Lil' Green the Staggerin' Drunk, an' ye deserve t' be called Gwathy just fer callin' me dog!

I be uneasy 'bout that ol' Shark Tooth - he seems to be fishin' fer an easy lynch of a potentially dangerous sailor. I be goin' to me bunk soon, an' will snore o'er th' decision time. I ain't sure o' who t' vote, but it'll probably be fer ol' Shasty fer th' thingy I just mentioned - unless there'll be a better un emergin' in a minute.


EDIT: x-ed wi' Noggy

[A Little Green]

Crap - I'd have hoped t' find a few opinions afore handin' o'er me vote, but no can do. I be goin' t' sleep away me drunkenness now. G'night! *hiccups*

++ Shark Tooth Shasty

[Rikae]

T' clear things up - I was just pullin' Mac's leg there, an' that's a fact. The second sentence just called the lot o' us wannabe pirates slingin' strange talk around each other's ears, and the third said some Likedealer cap'n would be a tellin' us all whar to go, ef he war livin'. Now,that them be fightin' words, but it ain't a confession.

:smokin:

[Thinlómien]

I'm finally back here but I should be in bed already, so don't expect much from me!

Aye, if yer infected daughter be har she would say "Pirate Boro's 'ote won't stick." I would, aye, but I'd also say tha' I dun like it. ;)

Mates, by th' way, ye should be invisible. *coughNogrodcough*

Kath's makin almost suspiciously lot o' sense. But I like that.

I have absolutely no idea who t' vote. *shrugs* Mehbe I'll make a lit o' sorts.

[Thinlómien]

-Legless Sally Dawkins ~ Carpenter
Seems like her normal self, I got an innocent gut-feel.

-Puffy Shirt Rikae ~ Cabin Boy
Jokin' a bit weirdly bu that ain't proof o' anythin.

-Pirate Lommy the Infected ~ Quartermaster
That's me.

-Gangrenous Inziladun Jones ~ Pilot
Sorta slippin under me radar, but he does kinda make sense, so I mehbe like 'im.

-Pirate Boromir the Malformed ~ Gunner
Does not give me any vibes yet. :p Means I gotta wait a Day or two to judge better.

-Stutterin’ Wilwa Scab ~ Cook
No posts, no rum, no nuthin.

-Shark Tooth Shasta ~ First mate
Looks like his normal self however he could be just hidin behind th' easy tactics of accusin Boro like he always does.

-High-Pitched Annu ~ Surgeon
Givin 'er the newbie benefit o' doubt fer toDay.

-Whinin’ Eomer Bonny ~ Musician (Pur-loined Violin)
Has not made me suspicious yet ergo I'm confused.

-Snifflin’ Mac Sparrow ~ Cooper
Weirdly silent and unconstructive, I says.

-Almost-Blind Nerwen ~ Navigator/Sea Artist
A funny 'un, no doubt.

-Lil' Green the Staggering Drunk ~ Powder Monkey
Could we lynch 'her just be'cos she never gets lynch'd on Day1? ;)

-Poop Deck Kath ~ Musician (Pipe)
She's okay, she makes sense.

-Cowerin' Gwath Slasher ~ Powder Monkey
Not much substance, yarr.

-Pirate Nogrod the Fashionably Late ~ Gunner
Sorta abnormally banterish, me thinks.

-Slippery McCabbie Dagger ~ Boatswain
Slippery indeed.

-Dancin' Mira Blythe ~ Striker
Didn't give much o' an impression on me.

-Ham-Hands Izzy ~ Striker
Hasn't posted, eh?

-Short Ruth Mithril ~ Cook
Kinda silent and refrained. Weird.

-Stinkin' Eön Bloodbeard ~ Powder Monkey
Seems ok enuff.

Hmmm I'll be thinkin fer a while n then I'll be votin - dunno who, but possibly someun whose contributions dun exactly impress me. Me suspicions are ridiculously vague, after all. We'll see.

[Nogrod]

By the way... things being as they are - and the baddies having such an advance with us not being able to deduce anything from the lynches - the baddies would probably like to help lynching the vocal and generally trusted people (those you would trust to actually help you if you had an idea s/he is an innocent) in this one and to make the Night-kills on those who are not too active or would not make a big difference in helping you out (just follow others' ideas) etc.

Now why? Because we can trust somewhat those who are killed by Night but we can't trust those lynched by Day as we have no clue of their alignment.

So let's not aid them baddies...

Good to see you Rikae coming clear with that one! I understood the land-rats and peppersacks from the beginning and then thought you were actually translating it (we - me, Greenie and Lommy - were reading the thread in a hurry) - and as Kath made a note about understanding a lot and referring to your translation, I just thought it was about correct and made the comment on Mac making a revelation. Now I see it wasn't - and looking more closely to it even I can understand it wasn't.

But what is interesting to me is Boro's happiness to stick to that as I think I said Mac wouldn't do that kind of thing as he would know many of us (many of us - not including me that is) could understand German and therefore it looked cobblerish as most to me...

[Thinlómien]

++McCaber

I dun like it tha' someun has had a chance to post bu' has only posted banter. Grant'd, tha' goes for a good lot o' people - like Mira, Sally n Shasta - bu' I feel the best voting good ol' Cabbie. Cos you know, Sally gives an innocent feel after all, I dun want t' vote Mira on Day1 again (I think I did it quite recently) n I'm too much o' a coward to enjoy th' sorta a responsible position that'd come wi' castin another vote fer Shasta as me vote is after all a lot o' a shot in th' dark. I hope ye mateseys can make more sense o' this mess in these last hours befer th' nightfall. Me's comfortable wi' a silly safe vote like this - n sorry to make un as I be disaprovin o' those in general, bu' there's really precious lil' t' go on - n goes directly to me bunk. Good night!

[Macalaure]

Arr! What's all that talkin' 'bout me confessin' about? I be no confessin' nothin'. I be complainin' about ye scallywags!

Rikae be joking, of course, 'n while Nerwen be pickin' it up suspiciously, she don't do nothin' with it, so I'll let her get away. The suspicious one be Nogrod, who makes up a barrel o' nonsense and calls me the joker in th' game. Then he puts me into one boat with th' cobblers. Jumpin' on some vaguely floatin' suspicion and tryin' to start a band... arr... ship? of people pickin' up th' suspicion without thought and then givin' convenient votes.
Just 'cause Rikae cleared things up now doesn't make Nog's behavyurr less suspicious.

c'mon, I don't understand German!

Yet quick ye are to draw conclusions. Yer daughter speaks no more German than ye, yet she has more sense behind her eye-patch.


some Likedealer cap'n

Arrrr!! Get yeself some Wikipedia, ye scurvy dog!


Just one more pointey fer ye t' consider - what abou' th' dead who do tell tales?

Dead gifteds who will share their knowledge with us. Dead cobblers who will try to pretend just that. Dead mutineers who will continue to help their mates by influencing the living. Dead ordinary pirates who will be lost. The living tryin' to read some sense into the mess. Hope we won't be forced to lynch somebody twice to get some knowledge at some time.


Ther's a whole lotta freebooters on th' ship tha won' say nothin' but pirate squabblin'. Mac Sparrow dusn' like that. How yer gonna get some decent plunder with such seafolk?

[Gwathagor]

Kath's makin almost suspiciously lot o' sense. But I like that.


Avast - come about now, what do ye mean by that?

[Rikae]

Hope we won't be forced to lynch somebody twice to get some knowledge at some time.

I have a feelin' (in me wooden leg) that tha's gonna be exactly what we'll have to do, if we wanna get out o' this alive. I'm just hopin' that we do it once, at the right time, an' make it count.

[wilwarin538]

I be present....readin quick, then will cast me vote....arghh

[Boromir88]

But what is interesting to me is Boro's happiness to stick to that as I think I said Mac wouldn't do that kind of thing as he would know many of us (many of us - not including me that is) could understand German and therefore it looked cobblerish as most to me...~Nogrod
Ye be the one who called it a confession, not me. An' 'onestly what do ye expect t' be saying at 40 posts into this curse, no one war sayin' nothing, e'eryone be clammed up. 'Tis be why me feel good about Eomer and Rikae, least they be tryin' to give this ship a kick start. Fo' good or ill, me yet can not tell, but they aint actin' like they being dragged through tar.

Whar is the fire, Nogrod? Whar is the passion in yer belly? I look toward mates like ye, an' tp, an' Agan, an' Mith, t' get me rarin' fer battle, an' so far ye haven't deli'ered. O' course, some o' those matees war only on last 'oyages, but I see a lot o' fightin' from ye Nogrod, an' not a lot o' whippin' th' silents into shape. Ye say ye suspect the wol'es will want to lynch the vocal, but don't proceed to suspect anyone who is not talkin' an' say I be stickin to yer comments a'out Mac. I see I only mentioned it once, and it war a long time ago, at a point o' th' day war thar was a lot of dreg talk.

Edit: Thar be some cross-postin' about time

[Gwathagor]

Hope we won't be forced to lynch somebody twice to get some knowledge at some time.

Dependin' on how the wind be settin' and dependin' on the knowledge at stake, that thar second lynch might be worthwhile. Dependin', mind ye.

EDIT: Cross with Rikae, Wilwa, and Boro

[wilwarin538]

k, attempted a quick skim through cause my eyes won't stay open and I can barely understand anyone....so, my vote's random, completely, I have no suspicion for anyone as of yet:

I have a feelin' (in me wooden leg) that tha's gonna be exactly what we'll have to do, if we wanna get out o' this alive. I'm just hopin' that we do it once, at the right time, an' make it count.~Rikae
We ha'e an accord. Howe'er do we gun for a rat ob'iously makin' trouble, or someone who be a 'lil more sneaky about it? Cause we do not want to waste it on one o' the cobblers, an' me bet the cobblers would be lookin' to be sent t' Davey Jones' locker twice, if ye know what me mean.

[Nogrod]

Whar is the fire, Nogrod? Whar is the passion in yer belly?Lost. I've had time to look at this thread about a half an hour in total toDay (and all this nonsense - even if funny - doesn't help forming opinions) - and lately I have been writing Arda Soccer results - and now it's 5AM and I need to go to sleep. Sorry mates. Bad day for werewolfing.

But I need to vote as well... and give it some thought before doing it.

[Rikae]

We ha'e an accord. Howe'er do we gun for a rat ob'iously makin' trouble, or someone who be a 'lil more sneaky about it? Cause we do not want to waste it on one o' the cobblers, an' me bet the cobblers would be lookin' to be sent t' Davey Jones' locker twice, if ye know what me mean.

We best wait n' see. I be thinkin' it might help us if we have, fer instance, two ghosts claimin' t' be t' seer - or mebbe some other, unforeseen circumstances. At some point, if we're lucky, some solid information'll be all we need to catch us some mutineers.

[Nogrod]

I don't think we need to speculate on that Boro. Like Rikae said we'll see about that. It's interesting you're calling for debate but can only give us that? :)

Anyways. We need to leave Boro - among some others for the baddies to kill so we can trust them as ghosts or then wonder why they're still alive on Day4 or something... and then make them mutineers walk the plank if needs be.

So I will make my choice on these premises toDay. Someone says that's suitable for me... well be my guests. It will be maddening and pointless for many Days as we will learn nothing from anything that is done. The only minor opportunity is to listen to those who are killed by Night and thinking about why they were killed (as there is no voting trace to be read or anything like that), but even those can be them bloody cobblers - and the baddies will think it through as well...

I don't like to surrender without a fight but our future is gloomy at best with these settings. What way do we have to catch anyone unless they really make epic fails or we somehow get enough of them with luck in the first Days so that we'll have the advance in numbers in the longer run?

But we shall fight those vermins anyway, whatever the odds be! Arm the guns! And aim steadily!

Arrr! Are ye be foolin' me? One vote for each? Are we going to ensure that the mutineers get the most possible voting power? :rolleyes:Exactly my words... but who's to throw the second stone? (Those votes in are the safest there are, remember that later)

Okay, I'll take a look back and vote in - hopefully - a half an hour (it's getting early already in here).

And where's everyone when decisions should be made?

Oh you cowards! I wouldn't sign anyone of you to my ship if I ever had one! :D

[Macalaure]

More innocent than guilty:

Rikae - very Rikae-ish so far, hard to explain
Lommy - I usually have a good read on her, and so far I like what I see
Inziladun
Boro - same opinion on Nogrod as me, which doesn't mean much, but is enough to put him on this list for toDay
Eomer
Kath
Lil' Green
Eonwe


Clueless:

Sally
Wilwa
Annu
Nerwen - I don't pretend anymore that I could ever get a clue about her
Gwath - he's contributing? On Day 1? :eek:
Mirandir
Izzy
Mith


More guilty than innocent:

Nogrod - see above
Shasta - don't like his vote
McCaber

[Macalaure]

Let's cast a second stone, shall we? :)

++Nogrod

[Rikae]

Wha's this? Nogrod is suspectin' Mac because I made a joke nobody understood, Mac suspectin' Nog because of that... ye gods.

It be déjà vu all over again, scalliwags.

I suggest that we lynch one o' them scurvy dogs that be not contributin' instead o' th' loudmouths like Nogrod here. Yarr, he might be mutinous, an' he might not, but he's more likely to slip up, wi' all th' tongue-waggin' he's wont t' do.

[Nogrod]

Thank's Mac, once again. Don't you ever learn? :p

You just ripped me off for new choices as I think I need to cast another as well. So great timing f(r)iend! :rolleyes:

Okay, I'll send my post I was making first and come back to this then...

[Nogrod]

Here would be the easy-going ones... (numbers being the number of posts - and Izzy has not posted but I'd give her the benefit of doubt at least now as it's possible she doesn't just know the game is on)

Mithalwen 2
Annunfuiniel 2
Eomer of the Rohirrim 2
wilwarin538 2
Mirandir 1
McCaber 1
satansaloser2005 1

I hate it everytime someone who would actually play gets lynched and those not interested (or ready to make an effort) get by Day1's.

Mith seemed to be in a rush even if I felt some bad vibes with her from a long time.

Annu is new to the game if veteran to the 'Downs and I'd give her my benefit of doubt as well.

Eomer has been just downright calculating and should be hanged for that - and for his general "get away from Day1 problems by just not posting" -attitude. But I'm also knowledgeable that he can be of help later - even if we really should lynch him a couple of times just to force him to play also on Day1 - and we could start on this Day...

wilwa... well, not too good either. Underlining that her vote was random, completely random even - and saying she'd be better on Day2! What better way for a baddie to skip the scrutiny and the chance of getting lynched on Day1 which is - to be sure - the saddest result for a baddie in a team.

Mira has one post worth nothing. Out for a "few hours" eight hours ago? Okay, that might be for real as she would probably not have said that were she a wolf trying to avoid attention and then break her promise in that obvious way (so a bored ordo who doesn't give the heck to this?).

McCaber sent the first post of the Day and never returned... Suspicious but maybe even too obvious? Anyway I don't like it.

Sally made one as well. Just as crazy as she is. I may feel a bit more relaxed with her than with some others as she actually seemed to be in a hurry.

[Inziladun]

Right. Thar's still not much t' go on, to my way o' thinkin'. I be goin' t' th' bunk right soon, so's a vote has t' come now.
McCaber popped in at th' day's dawnin' n' right away condemned ol' Shasta fer bein' the second in command n' standin' ta' benefit th' most from the poor Cap'n's head bein' detached. He's not been seen since to offer anythin' more.
A thin case may be, but thin's all I see t' work w' now.

++ McCaber

Edit-x'd with Nogrod and Rikae

[Macalaure]

Sally, Boro, Annu, Nerwen, Gwath, Nogrod, Caber, Mira, Izzy, and Mith, 10 people, are still left to vote, yet less than 10 posts in the last half hour, and less than one more half hour left.

Last minute frenzy of barely explained votes, or half a ship of non-voters - which is it going to be? ;)

[Nogrod]

It be déjà vu all over again, scalliwags.Hah, exactly.

But where is everyone?

From my list I suspect the most Mith and Eomer (and outside of it Boro and... surprise: Mac!), but those I would leave to the baddies to confirm us as non-baddies with their death and thence being able to be helpful.

I need to check the other low-posters as well it seems...

[Annunfuiniel]

-High-Pitched Annu ~ Surgeon
Givin 'er the newbie benefit o' doubt fer toDay.

Why thanke' o ye Infected 'un. :p But I ortin' t' be votin' fer ye fer callin' me Olutkannu (tho it rhymes)!

Arrr, this be mighty hard! None o' ye be havin' spake anythin' useful while I be in me bed. Said a lot but nay much, if ye catch me drift.

Me gut feelin's that thar be somethin' "funny" in th' way Boro and Nog be attackin' one another... But ev'n more worryin' be th' thin' with th' 'otes a-scatterin'!


Boro -> Nogrod
Shasta -> Boro
Little Green -> Shasta

An' whom might Nogrod be voting? If it'll be Lil, thar seems to be a patt'rn... or nay. :rolleyes:

[Nogrod]

Last minute frenzy of barely explained votes, or half a ship of non-voters - which is it going to be? ;)I might call you a hypocrit but I won't... If you're a baddie your timing is perfect and your "moral highground" as good as Mr. W's... But as I don't know I will restrain myself from that verdict. :rolleyes:

[Boromir88]

Lost. I've had time to look at this thread about a half an hour in total toDay (and all this nonsense - even if funny - doesn't help forming opinions) - and lately I have been writing Arda Soccer results - and now it's 5AM and I need to go to sleep. Sorry mates. Bad day for werewolfing.~Nogrod
Well ye best start lookin' fo' it, because if ye be true, we will be needin' ye spirit befo'e th' end.

I said my 'ote would not stick, but ye be on a short leash, mate.

--Nogrod

I would, aye, but I'd also say tha' I dun like it. ~Lommy
'Tis may not get answered 'til morrow, by why that be?

[Macalaure]

I might call you a hypocrit but I won't.
Care to explain? Because I didn't give a lot of explanation in my vote post? I think I stated my opinion before.

[Nogrod]

Oh my. It's fifteen to the deadline (isn't it?). So I seem to be stuck on this to the bloody end.

McCaber is the easy one to pick and possibly a good one to try (he's not too helpful), but is it too easy to have chances of succeeding?

wilwa I'm afraid we get wrong even if I hate the way she posted (double confirming the randomness of her vote).

I might go for Mith or Eomer but somehow dislike the idea. Let it just be known I have bad feelings about them (I have such a lot of things to do I'm probably not going to hang around too much after I'm dead).

[Boromir88]

Wilwa made her inability to be here today known in ad'ance, doesn't mean she is innocent, but fo' that me belie'e she be awarded another day.

An' granted me thinks the last two times me defended McCaber he turned out baddie, but his randomness, an' light activity that re'eals nothin' does not make him look wol'ish. It's when he be makin' an attempt to be more acti'e an' post more when ye need to watch him closely.

Edit: I be crossin' with Nog and Mac an' I will prolly be goin' in an' out of pirate talk as the deadline approaches, my apologies Cap'n

[Nogrod]

Care to explain?At this moment when frantically trying to make a judgement? No. If what was there after that sentence is not enouigh I need to explain it to you later - if it's something you're actually curious about and not just the wolf you are trying to play this game that is...

[Nogrod]

No one else around but me, Boro and Mac (and Annu & Rikae a time ago?

Any fresh ideas?

[Annunfuiniel]

Aggh! Nothin' tangible still, an' th' Day be wanin'....

But thar seems be some conspiracy goin' on with Boro retracting 'is 'ote on Nog after Mac's second vote on him (Nogrod that is)...

Boro or Nog, Nog or Boro or......more RUMMMM!!!

++Nogrod

Still huntin' fer more clues though...

[Boromir88]

Arr...

++Shasta

Returnin' the deed first mate...an' I would personally like to see what Lommy tries to do wit' us an' all 'tis power. :p

[Nogrod]

++Nogrod

Still huntin' fer more clues though...You're so wrong which is sad, but it's your call. Fair enough.

[satansaloser2005]

Well, I be not understandin' all this German malarkey (is malarkey a pirate-ish word? I'm not entirely sure) but I's being serious earlier about them scurvy dogs Nog and Boro. But this....

sally - pokes Boro a bit.

....isn't really all that accurate, me hearties. Well, 'tis, but I was being serious about two of them possibly being cobblers. Then again, we best not be worrying about cobblers at this point, or else we all be sleeping with the fishes (now I'm a pirate who's in the mob?) before too long. So I be putting them two under my wood pile for a bit, at least I think.


I also be noticing this by our Little Green Alcoholic.

I be uneasy 'bout that ol' Shark Tooth - he seems to be fishin' fer an easy lynch of a potentially dangerous sailor. I be goin' to me bunk soon, an' will snore o'er th' decision time. I ain't sure o' who t' vote, but it'll probably be fer ol' Shasty fer th' thingy I just mentioned - unless there'll be a better un emergin' in a minute.

I be gettin' a bit of funny feelings from that there Shasta too, but I don't think it be a hunch worth following with a lynch.



The sands in me hour glass tell me it be nearly Nightfall, so I best stop flapping me lips and get to voting. Here be my feeling on all ye people. Avast!


-Legless Sally Dawkins ~ Carpenter
Arrrr, that be me, mateys. I be chopping wood but not chopping off the cap'n's head. Be ye all warned, for I won't be helpin' ya if ye kill me.

-Puffy Shirt Rikae ~ Cabin Boy
Seems decent enough, at least as much as a cabin boy can wearing a shirt like that.

-Pirate Lommy the Infected ~ Quartermaster
Strangely aggressive, or at least seems so to me. Bad luck having a woman on board anyway, especially an infected one.

-Gangrenous Inziladun Jones ~ Pilot
Another infected crewmember. Also getting a bad vibe from this'un, but not as much.

-Pirate Boromir the Malformed ~ Gunner
Possibly one of our co-conspirators, but I can build me a sturdy box around th' guns and he'll be harmless.

-Stutterin’ Wilwa Scab ~ Cook
Has she even been here?

-Shark Tooth Shasta ~ First mate
Power-hungry son of a sea w(hor[s]e)

-High-Pitched Annu ~ Surgeon
He be trying to help me with me legs, but it could just to get me on his side, so I be keeping an eye on him.

-Whinin’ Eomer Bonny ~ Musician (Pur-loined Violin)
Nothing to say about this laddie.

-Snifflin’ Mac Sparrow ~ Cooper
A bit of a weird blighter. May be evil, but after all the talk of his not-confession toDay I'll cut him a break because we need to be concentrating on more than just one o' us.

-Almost-Blind Nerwen ~ Navigator/Sea Artist
Don't think she'd have the vision (literally and figuratively) to cut off Capn' Black Death Brinn's head.

-Lil' Green the Staggering Drunk ~ Powder Monkey
Staggering drunk and perhaps a bit of a landlubber, but leaving her for now.

-Poop Deck Kath ~ Musician (Pipe)
Strange smell coming from this one, but then again....look at her title. ;)

-Cowerin' Gwath Slasher ~ Powder Monkey
Gwathie-powder monkey. Nothing on him, except that I like to rib him.

-Pirate Nogrod the Fashionably Late ~ Gunner
Fashionably late, so I don't think he was up cutting up the cap'n. Maybe trying to lead a mutiny though, so keep your eye(s) on him.

-Slippery McCabbie Dagger ~ Boatswain
Slippery indeed, but evil? Not sure, me hearties.

-Dancin' Mira Blythe ~ Striker
Nothing.

-Ham-Hands Izzy ~ Striker
See Mira.

-Short Ruth Mithril ~ Cook
She best be not poisoning our grub, for right now I think she be innocent.

-Stinkin' Eön Bloodbeard ~ Powder Monkey
Steve, the stinking ingrate. I think he's okay for now.


(Posting this now, sorry for having such a long post right before DL. I'll check the vote count and be back in a second.)


ETA: I forgot to put in my thoughts about Mac, or they were deleted or something. Sorry for the confusion, but they're back in now.

[Rikae]

I think I'll go wi' what I said b'fore, an' weed out them that don't speak their mind, lackin' anythin' better t' go on at th' time being. At th' very least, it forces th' mutineers to kill somone with more of a trail.

--Inziladun

++McCaber

[Gwathagor]

Yikes, I don't have much time to vote. I thought DL was later.

[Macalaure]

Alright, with Boro's retraction there really isn't a chance of lynching Nogrod anymore, so I might as well drop it.

--Nogrod

I don't suspect Sally. I think Rikae and Lommy are innocent. Inziladun looks a bit worse after his vote, but I won't vote for him toDay. Boro looks innocent. Wilwa deserves a close look tomorrow. Shasta looks bad but would be an easy pick. Annu is new. I don't have a good feeling about lynching Eomer. I don't have anything to go after Nerwen. Same with Little Green, Kath, Gwath. McCaber is another easy pick. Mirandir and Izzy haven't really spoken yet, and I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt for now. I don't like voting Mith for no reason. I have a bad feeling about lynching Eonwe.

So there.

edit: crossed since I don't know where... :eek:

[Nogrod]

I have two, McCaber has and Shasta... The usual suspects that is? :rolleyes:

From those I'd pick

++ McCaber

just for being a bad sport (and hopefully an evil person trying to sneak through this Day).

EDit: X'd with a few...

[satansaloser2005]

++Shasta


Strikes me funny.


(Now I'm going to go format my other post 'cause it looks bloody awful)


I don't think we should go for that there Nogrod toDay. Just sayin', me mateys.



ETA: Oh dear, mass crossing. I think I'll leave me vote though.

[Macalaure]

Heck.

++Nogrod, again

[Gwathagor]

Aaaah, um,

++Wilwa

Poetic irony. Best I can do.

EDIT: Oh CRAP it isn't bolded!

[Macalaure]

*is underwhelmed*

[satansaloser2005]

Oh for the love of Jack Sparrow....

*headdecks*

ETA: Gwath, your vote's not bolded, dear.

[Brinniel]

Belay that talk! 'Tis deadline.

I need to count the tally to be sure, but I believe it is McCaber who is to be sent to Davy Jones' locker.

EDIT: Indeed it is McCaber who has the black spot. His role was....well, I'm not gonna tell you that! :p

Narration should come sometime tonight, probably sooner than later since I'm tired.

P.S. Gwath's vote doesn't count since it was not bolded.

[Brinniel]

Th' Grey Gaurhoth's first day without a (livin') cap'n was a chaotic one. Bein' th' rude band 'o pirates they were, they all took th' time to accuse, insult, 'n threaten one another. Shark Tooth Shasta made an attempt to take charge 'n keep th' ship organised. But all he got in turn were pointed fin'ers.
"Obviously he be our culprit," Slippery McCabbie was th' first to state. "Bein' next in line, he must've offed our cap'n to pillage th' position."
"Arrr, that be a ridiculous theory," replied Shark Tooth Shasta. But it seemed several others agreed wit' Slippery McCabbie.
"Off to Davy Jones he be," cried Sally Dawkins.

But as th' day continued on, th' crew decided that Slippery McCabbie's sudden silence after his first accusation was most disconcertin'.
"His name explains it all. He be too quick to point his fin'er, then he goes to hide like a coward," said Lommy th' Infected. "These be not th' actions 'o a loyal hand. We ought to strin' him up!"
Several others grunted in agreement 'n th' decision was made.

Puffy Shirt Rikae 'n Nogrod th' Fashionably Late grabbed hold 'o their bosun 'n Inziladun Jones threw th' hempen halter around his neck. Luckily fer poor McCabbie Dagger, his death was a quick one as th' rope immediately snapped his neck wit' a loud crack. But 'o course, like Cap'n Brinn, death would not be th' end 'o him.
"Now what be ye swabs goin' to do?" he asked, still hangin' from th' hempen halter. "I told ye lot I be innocent, but ye had to be off murderin' me anyway."
"Ye may be dead, but whar's th' proof ye're innocent?" Boromir th' Malformed replied. "We can't just take ye word fer it."
"No we can't," agreed Cowerin' Gwath. "But how be we to be knowin' when we've caught our mutineers?"
"I suppose we'll be knowin' once thar be no more deaths at nightfall," answered Mac Sparrow. "Surely these aggressors won't stop wit' our cap'n. All 'o us may have to sleep wit' one eye open t'night."
"Well that won't be easy," sighed Almost-Blind Nerwen adjustin' her tattered eyepatch.

Leavin' th' corpse 'o Slippery McCabbie hangin' next to th' head 'o their cap'n to rot, th' crew 'o th' Grey Gaurhoth settled in fer what would be a long nightfall.
"If they think t'night's goin' to be rough, they have no idea what's comin' fer them in th' days to follow," commented Black Death Brinn to her dead companion. "Be interestin'... Begad, me nose itches. Whar's a hand when ye need one?"

Night 2 has begun. Aggressors plot away. Spy, choose who ye be watchin'. Protector, stand ye guard. Avenger, choose ye duel partner.

[Brinniel]

As th' rest 'o th' crew soundly slept, Lil' Green th' Staggerin' Drunk tiptoed her way into th' galley to find herself some spiced rum. After th' long day, she was not nearly as drunk as she need be 'n bein' sober was just no fun.
"Now whar be that rum?" she mumbled to herself as she sifted through th' galley's supply.
"Lookin' fer 'tis?" said a voice from behind.
Lil' Green turned around to find a shadowed figure leanin' over a barrel 'o rum. Her eyes lit up seein' her much-needed rum.
"Ooh," she started towards th' figure reachin' fer th' barrel. "Gimme some."
"Okay." th' figure let out a large grin.

Then from out 'o th' shadows, more figures appeared. Grabbin' Lil' Green by th' hair, th' aggressors pulled her below just underneath th' openin' 'o th' barrel.
"Get th' funnel," an aggressor demanded.
A funnel was shoved in Lil' Green's mouth 'n th' rum was poured. At first, Lil' Green eagerly gulped below th' rum, but when she could drink no more (which was quite a lot) th' rum still kept comin'. Them eager gulps soon became frantic gurgles. Poor Lil' Green struggled 'n fought against her aggressors, but they were too strong. They cackled 'n jeered as they emptied th' entire contents 'o th' barrel into th' wee powder monkey's mouth.

Th' next mornin' th' crew awoke to a scream comin' from th' galley. All hands came runnin' only to find a very upset Stutterin' Wilwa Scab.
"What be th' matter?" asked Poop Deck Kath.
"Th-th-th' rum be g-gone," th' cook sobbed.
"Oh no," Eön Bloodbeard cried.
"That's not possible," replied an angry Short Ruth Mith. "Thar was a whole barrel here last nightfall."
"Then whar has all th' rum gone?" asked Ham-Hands Izzy.
"I'll bet I be knowin' who drank it," said High-Pitched Annu. "It was that staggerin' drunk Lil' Green. Whar be she anyway?"

Th' crew looked around only to realise Lil' Green was not standin' among them. But it did not take long to find her. Just behind th' empty barrel lay th' body 'o Lil' Green lookin' green as her name.
"Looks like she got a wee bit carried away last night," noted Dancin' Mira.
"I doubt that," said Eomer Bonny. "Looks more like th' aggressors got to her." He pointed at th' bruises on her wrists.

Another Day 'n another death. Another chance to find th' culprits who were killin' them off one by one. But 'tis time they would have to do it without any rum.

Th' corpse 'o Lil' Green let out a loud burp.

Day 2 has begun. Whether ye be dead or living, ye may now discuss.

[McCaber]

Oi, you lot! It's gonna take a lot more than a filthy hangin' to keep me down!

So I'm innocent, but no one will trust that statement. At least, I wouldn't if I were still up. At least now I have time to find a brilliant thought with no pressure to post. (Joke:) This is like the perfect role for me!

And Greenie is almost certainly an innocent. Later in the game, I wouldn't make that assumption, but on Day1 it's as safe a bet as you'll get here.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

So DAT be why all'n the rum's gone.

Obv'sly I keelhauled Little Drunk Green cauz she'm suspectin' me. :eek:

[Nerwen]

Shiver me timbers, this be a catastrophe, mates! No rum! Half on us'll be in th' horrors come sundown, ye mark me!

...Oh, an' 'tis is a pity about the poor wee wench, too.

She ha' not said much, apart from her a-votin' o' Shark Tooth Shasta.

I reckon she got it on account o' no' havin' the look o' a co-conspirator, in the main. But belike th'agressors be tryin' some lay o' makin' Shark Tooth swing for her, or else he's one on' 'em an' they reckoned she were the spy. Be nay way o' tellin'.


EDIT: repeated word.
EDIT2:spelling.

[Nerwen]

Th' cabin-boy ha' still no explained this remark o' her'n:

I be a' thinkin' fer instance, that even though th' cap'n (or somebody) sez tha we won't learn th' alignment o' the scurvy dog we force to walk the plank each day, there's one man among us who be th' exception to that rule, if yer catch my drift.

I axes her fer a wee explanation, an' she sez:

It's right thar in th' contract, me hearty,ef ye got' th' eyes t' see . Ye just ha' t' think on it apiece.

Arr, Puffy-Shirt, happen me remainin' eye be no up to th' task. (It be main tactless o' ye' to be speakin' o' deadlights to sich a one as I, but I be lettin' that pass on account o' yer tender years.)

[Nerwen]

Be any o' ye scurvy dogs around?

[A Little Green]

I be around, and I be *hiccups* (do ghosts have hiccups?) very disappointed at bein' *hiccups* dead. Th' thing is, I be th' spy, so 'tis kinda crap t' be killed this early.

[Nerwen]

By thunder! It talks!

Er... I mean... I might ha' known ye'd no lie quiet, ye poor wench, wi' yer murderers still unhanged, an' no a drop o' rum in ye fer hours an' hours. I'll warrant ye ha' ne'er been sober this long since ye were weaned.

Yer the spy, sez ye? Arr, but belike ye'd be sayin' that were ye a mutineer or a co-conspirator too.

Who be ye a-spyin' of, then?



EDIT:word choice.

[A Little Green]

Yer the spy, sez ye? Arr, but belike ye'd be sayin' that were ye a mutineer or a co-conspirator too.

Who be ye a-spyin' of, then?If I were a mutineer I probably wouldn't be dead. It be very true I could claim the same if I were a co-conspirator bu' I wouldn't say it yet, I'd save it fer later, fer a situation where it causes more confusion than now. I was spyin' ye, as it happens, and ye be innocent or a co-conspirator, dunno which.

[Nerwen]

If I were a mutineer I probably wouldn't be dead.

'Tis true. I were speakin' more o' general principles.

be very true I could claim the same if I were a co-conspirator bu' I wouldn't say it yet, I'd save it fer later, fer a situation where it causes more confusion than now.

Aye, but who'd believe ye?

I was spyin' ye, as it happens, and ye be innocent or a co-conspirator, dunno which.

Aye, well, that's right enow.

But did ye no' get to be a spyin' o' any on us Night One?

[A Little Green]

But did ye no' get to be a spyin' o' any on us Night One?Nope. Night 2 was me first spyin' an' those maggots went an' killed me. What I find an interesting question is whether or not them mutineers guessed me identity.

[Nerwen]

Arr, by me best reckoning the poor dead powder-monkey be tellin' the truth, most like.

Shiver me timbers! 'Tis early on to be sailin' into sich foul weather!

EDIT:X'd with A Little Dead.

[Nerwen]

Nope. Night 2 was me first spyin' an' those maggots went an' killed me. What I find an interesting question is whether or not them mutineers guessed me identity.

Would they ha' known ye got no chance at spyin' along o' Night One, think ye?

It be main important whether them rats o' mutineers could ha' seen anythin' significacious in yer a-votin' o' Shark Tooth.

[A Little Green]

Would they ha' known ye got no chance at spyin' along o' Night One, think ye?

It be main important whether them rats o' mutineers could ha' seen anythin' significacious in yer a-votin' o' Shark Tooth.Arr, hmmm, that be interesting indeed - I don't remember anything in the threads that says the spy isn't allowed t' spy on Night 1, 'twas only told to me, methinks. Not sure 'bout it, though. As fer Shark Tooth - at first I considered spyin' on him but thought that mehbe I'd be able to get him figured during th' Day, whereas the likes o' ye I never can. It be an interesting option that them maggots thought I had been a-dreamin' o' Shasty already on Night 1 - not sure how probable, but an option, aye.

[Eönwë]

Arr! T'seems it'll be jus' me n' slasher doin t' powder now!
Na' only 'tat but she says 'tat be t' spy. Now what say ye! D'ye think she could be? If she isn't 'ten I dun' thin' they'd a-be revealin' so early, so I don' thin' there'll be a challenge, which means we'll just ha'e to ma'e shure we don' trust 'er too much.

Either th' aggressors be a lucky crew, or they be a sharp lot, and if 'tey be t' second, 'ten we have little 'hope.


An' thar be no rum. What sh'd we do!


'Tis a bad start t' be sure.

[Eönwë]

I been a-readin' tis thread, but I be needin' t'go soon.

[Nogrod]

Sadly...
The game will start with a Night phase (there will be no dream on Night 1).

It's more than probable that at least one o' those vermins had read that. So I'm afraid they couldn't read anything spyish in that poor bygone drunkard's talk yesterDay. So they just got marvellously lucky.

But it still troubles me... soo lucky they were indeed! I can smell a rat here - but is it just the overall condition of hygiene around?

Fex. even if it'd be just having fun beside a fresh corpse so natural around here, it's interesting he should make that - I mean why? Obv'sly I keelhauled Little Drunk Green cauz she'm suspectin' me.Now that happened before this rum-addict told she was the spy which would kind of make the joke lighter but it looks like a precautionary measure anyway.

Needs to be remembering what that drunkard said yesterDay before making any further remarks on a dead sailor - and those maggots who laid waste our rum! For there is no worse crime than condemning decent pirates to forced soberness!

[Nogrod]

Na' only 'tat but she says 'tat be t' spy. Now what say ye! D'ye think she could be? If she isn't 'ten I dun' thin' they'd a-be revealin' so early, so I don' thin' there'll be a challenge, which means we'll just ha'e to ma'e shure we don' trust 'er too much.Trust this matey, she's no mutineer. She might be a co-conspirator - and that's a real and existing chance. But if she's not one of those, then why not reveal it? In that case she has nothing to loose or gain from remining in hiding.

But if she'd be a cursed co-conspie' the real spy knows it now - and should remain silent about it for then it surely is just Greenie trying to fish her/him to the fore and to reveal her/himself.

At the moment I don't think it matters much what we think or believe about her alignment, but it may become an issue later...

[Nerwen]

Arr, hmmm, that be interesting indeed - I don't remember anything in the threads that says the spy isn't allowed t' spy on Night 1, 'twas only told to me, methinks. Not sure 'bout it, though. As fer Shark Tooth - at first I considered spyin' on him but thought that mehbe I'd be able to get him figured during th' Day, whereas the likes o' ye I never can. It be an interesting option that them maggots thought I had been a-dreamin' o' Shasty already on Night 1 - not sure how probable, but an option, aye.

If yon Shark Tooth be a mutineer, there be more on'em along o' them as hanged Slippery McCabbie Dagger, ye may lay to it. He wou'd ha' looked main like a spy to the likes o' they.

That's if Slippery's sperrit be an honest 'un... an he were a sneakin' bilge rat in life. Could always have been a mutineer-on-mutineer suspicion.

Arr, this be no easy course to steer!

EDIT:X'd with Mr Fashionably Late (twice).

[Nogrod]

At the moment I don't think it matters much what we think or believe about her alignment, but it may become an issue later...Just to give my two cents on it.

Meself trusts that old drunkard more than any of you cretins onboard for the fact that she ain't no mutineer and thence doesn't fool us with knowledge of what she's doing. She maybe a co-conspie, but even then she can give us either good or bad advice as she doesn't know more than we do. So a pinch of salt taken with whatever she says, but a little less than I take with anything you other sea-faring rascals say.

[Nerwen]

Needs to be remembering what that drunkard said yesterDay before making any further remarks on a dead sailor - and those maggots who laid waste our rum! For there is no worse crime than condemning decent pirates to forced soberness!

The lass said little enow, an' it were mostly of a jokin' natur'.

#10. (Replyin' to th' infected quartermaster.)
Aye! What d'ye want me t' say? Th' ones that be guilty o' th' murder o' me cap'n oughta walk th' plank 'n' get acquainted with th' sharks!

#37. (The second part be a reply to the misshapen gunner who were axin' about th' sperrits– the ghosts, I mean, no' the rum.)
*burp*

Seriously, though, we need t' get serious wi' this if we want t' find th' scum that killed th' cap'n. Th' problem wi' th' likes o' me be that I don't know where t' start th' serious talk. Th' sole thing that comes to me mind is that I don't be likin' th' amount of sailors hidin' in their bunks. Whar be Sally? Izzy? Wilwa? Or me powder monkey -comrade Gwathy?

(Ye love th' word 'arr', don't ye?) Dunno if thar be much we can do about those. 'Tis a bit disturbin' that we don't be knowin' whether or not we made th' righ' person walk th' plank -'n' we won't be knowin' how many mutineers we still have amongst us either.

#42. (To quartermaster again.)
Me, o' course. Ye be infected, ye know. No un wants t' kiss an infected un. :Merisu:


#60. (To Cowerin' Gwath Slasher– he were a-threatenin' of her fer callin' him a powder-monkey, which he be, the lubber!)
D'ye reckon I be frightened? I be no dog, I be th' famous Lil' Green the Staggerin' Drunk, an' ye deserve t' be called Gwathy just fer callin' me dog!

I be uneasy 'bout that ol' Shark Tooth - he seems to be fishin' fer an easy lynch of a potentially dangerous sailor. I be goin' to me bunk soon, an' will snore o'er th' decision time. I ain't sure o' who t' vote, but it'll probably be fer ol' Shasty fer th' thingy I just mentioned - unless there'll be a better un emergin' in a minute.

#61.
Crap - I'd have hoped t' find a few opinions afore handin' o'er me vote, but no can do. I be goin' t' sleep away me drunkenness now. G'night! *hiccups*

++ Shark Tooth Shasty

That be all.

EDIT:fixed bolding.

[Inziladun]

Why'd ye mutinous dogs ha' t' do awy w' t' Green One by usin' up th' rum? No blade or rope be gud enough? :mad:
Anyway, I be agreein' tha' Staggerin' Green be surely no conspirator. Claimin' t' be th' Spy, though.....if it'd ben' me I'd a waited a bit afore I said that. Cud' a ben' useful if one o' th' bad 'uns made a false claim.
Some readin' be in order t'day. Mayhap I'll make some sense o' this sorry business.

[Macalaure]

Arrr! The spy be gone? Not to mention the rum? Arrr, I say, Arrrr!

Me sees no reason not to believe the Little Green at this point. She could be a conspiraterr putting herrself into the best position to discredit the real spy (or maybe even flush him out), but most likely, we're having a problem now.

I was spyin' ye, as it happens, and ye be innocent or a co-conspirator, dunno which.

Ye can't distinguish the two in yer dreams? Arrr, I say. Still no def'nit' knowledge to be had. Well, at least somethin'...


Arrright, I shall have a look at yesterDay's voting later, and a serrrious look at th' Nog-fella. The rat he be smellin' might hide in his own rruddy beard.

WellI be back but I see ye all decided to talk once I was away so I have much to catch up on. :rolleyes:

Aye, the votin' yesterDay be foul. But ye be on th' wrong tack wi' Gunner Nogrod, I reckon. 'Tis my belief 'twas honest doubt he were expressin' when he were a-talkin' 'bout that there "confession" o' yourn.

EDIT: X'd wi' Short Ruth.

[Mithalwen]

Sorry I have little time again today and cannot waste it on piratifying my language. I wouuld love to know why Nogrod is so suspicious of me - I made a significant effort to err get to the parley and when I had to leave there were about 30 posts none of which seemed to give any indication. I was tempted to vote for Wilwa or Nogrod on the wispiest of reasons but knowing how Day ones can go awry feared that it would be the sort of vote that might spark premature silliness and so abstained. Obviously I have to vote today to avoid fire. My participation will increase after today dead or alive, though I will always be voting early. I assure you that Nogrod is flogging the wrong horse.

Leastways, that be what I reckon ye be sayin', but I be hard put to navigate me way through yer strange un-seamanlike talk. Ye be ravin', I'll lay to it.

Shiver me sides, ye be in th' horrors a'ready, wench! 'Tis lack o' rum.

[Boromir88]

Arr! 'Tis be a mess to sort out, we know nothin' fer sure.

We know McCaber's be dead an' I right now say he be innocent. An' I be checkin' the waggin against him yesterday...It seems like sum sloppy charges war slapped on.

We know Greenie's be 'acked by the mutineers, which mean she most likely be good, an' even if she be a co-conspier'ator, it would be no use in lynchin' her at 'tis point when no one else has said they be the spy. I say we trus' her, which means fer now I also trust Nerwen...I s'pose 'tis possible she be a co-conspie, but thar be no reason to doubt Greenie, at 'tis point, an' thus Nerwen too is not a mutineer. Nerwen's status could change, dependin' on Greenie's role, an' other behaviors, but fer now...if ye trus' Greenie, I be trustin' Nerwen. Thar be no sense in lynchin' either o' them today.

E'eryone else be fair game. Currently that be Nogrod, Shasta, and Gwath...I be sayin' why o' that later.

Well, as this pirate sees it, unless another of the crew claims to be the spy, I don't think it be makin' much of a matter whether LG is a spy or a co-conspirator - either way, she knows no more 'n we do. She's nothin' more 'n another voice.

[Boromir88]

He aint be sayin' much o' anything yet today, cept fer his two cents on Greenie. So, me not exactly sure what yer point be.

Edit: spekkin' of which, this is ridiculous we be half way through the day an' whut 6-7 people ha'e posted? An' two o' them be dead an' can't vote! How the blazes are we s'posed to work in these conditions. If ye can't be here, that be fine, say it...but say somethin' for dread pirates sake! 'Tis be the most silly crew me ha'e been with...ye act like war be pullin' teeth to ask that ye come an speak.

[Rikae]

I don't see why ye be so quick t' believe our dearly depa'ted powder monkey's revelation. Tho' it be possible t' aggressors got so lucky on Night 2, th' odds be in favor o' her bein' a co-conspirator, an' her sayin' she'd a' revealed later proves nothin'. I don' quite trust those what accepted tha' explanation so easily. At least I be sure o' this: ef'n I war a co-conspirator what found meself dead on Day 2, I would be a-claimin' t' be th' spy right off th' bat too, 'xactly like Greenie ha' done. Oh well. Either way, I'll wager we'll see more seer reveals down th' line, an' we can sort this thing out then.

What worries me now, tho', are th' reactions t' th' drunk - p'ticklarly Eonwe n' Inziladun's, because o' t' way they latch onto th' idea o' a co-conspirator (ef I be readin' them right) revealin' later - plus, I didn't much like their contributions o' yesterday, either. Zil jus' gave me a bad feelin' (I'll hafta go back n' try t' pin down why), and Eonwe's reaction t' my hunter comment was mighty p'culiar. Yes, Nerwie, Eonwe was right: I were speakin' o' th' hunter, although I wasn't exactly right - if th' hunter makes a kill, we'll know more, but still ha' no exact knowledge. I'm not goin' into th' specifics, lest I be given ideas t' th' mutinous dogs.

Nogrod seems a bit confused, but more or less like hiis innocent self. Shasta, I think, is bein' set up, an' therefore no aggressor. Mac seems ok so far. Sally seems a bit off. I'm gonna hafta look n' see ef thar be anythin' in Nerwen's posts that might have a cobbler-Green thinkin' she be evil. McGhostie don't look intirely kosher. If I be leavin' yer name out, it be 'cuz ye haven' made much o' an impression. More later.

Regardin' that there first part, I think I be agreein' with ye. No sense in acceptin' the ghost's claim all of just yet, particularly since she hasn't any special information to share.

I reckon we could make vodka with the potato supply.

But, 'tis no good to seek an' inquire more on whether she be truthful or not...well me mean that 'tis no good to kill her today to fin' out if she be true. Greenie already be 'acked, an' by the mutineers, so she be out o' 'oting, an' out o' the crew count. If we wan' to kill someone twice, to fin' out thar true role, it be a waste on Greenie, as she be killed by the mutineers. Now whether she be the spy, co-conspie, or ordinary crew who knows fer sure only Greenie, an' the Cap'n (an' the real spy if Greenie aint it), but killing 'er again today would be no good. We be just doin' the mutineers job, cus the mutineers killed her last night!

[Boromir88]

Aye, that it were, and I'm not proud of it either. I felt like I had to show I was at least tryin' to vote and Wilwa had made a throwaway vote earlier herself, so I reckoned it would be appropriate to make a throwaway vote on her.

[Nerwen]

I don't see why ye be so quick t' believe our dearly depa'ted powder monkey's revelation. Tho' it be possible t' aggressors got so lucky on Night 2, th' odds be in favor o' her bein' a co-conspirator, an' her sayin' she'd a' revealed later proves nothin'.

Aye, but ye mark, I know she be right 'bout me. An' it seems to me that a dead co-conspirator would be tryin' main hard to lynch some-un as she reckoned were innocent, or else a claimin' that some-un as she reckoned were a mutineer were clean. An' I be thinkin' I ain't done much to look like one o' them scurvy bilge rats.

At least I be sure o' this: ef'n I war a co-conspirator what found meself dead on Day 2, I would be a-claimin' t' be th' spy right off th' bat too, 'xactly like Greenie ha' done.

Arr, ye be wise beyond yer years, young Puffy Shift. 'Tis what I'd do meself.

worries me now, tho', are th' reactions t' th' drunk - p'ticklarly Eonwe n' Inziladun's, because o' t' way they latch onto th' idea o' a co-conspirator (ef I be readin' them right) revealin' later - plus, I didn't much like their contributions o' yesterday, either. Zil jus' gave me a bad feelin' (I'll hafta go back n' try t' pin down why), and Eonwe's reaction t' my hunter comment was mighty p'culiar.

Aye, I be trusting them two just as far as I can see 'em (which ain't too far).

Yes, Nerwie, Eonwe was right: I were speakin' o' th' hunter, although I wasn't exactly right - if th' hunter makes a kill, we'll know more, but still ha' no exact knowledge. I'm not goin' into th' specifics, lest I be given ideas t' th' mutinous dogs.

Now I be gettin' yer drift. But if th 'venger makes a kill, we'll have two new sperrits, an' nowt to show which on 'em be the mutineer an' which the real venger.

[Rikae]

Far's I kin tell, ef thar be two claimin' t' be h' 'venger, we know one o' th' two be evil, an' if only one claim it, we know that one be he (tho th' other can be anything).

Tho th' drunk may be tellin' th' truth, I'm hopin' she ain't an' our spy is still among us. If Nerwen be guilty, th' 'vengers know Greenie be false, n' so may be quick t' support her. If Nerwen be innocent, Greenie can still be a conspirator. Either way, though, Boro, I'm not advocatin' lynchin' either o' th' two t'day. I'm jus' lookin' fer patterns in t' way people be reactin' t' 'em. Th' patterns 'r all we have t' go on.

I be considerin' votin' Shark Tooth, but seems likely the mutineers would ha' known about the spy not gettin' to work 'fore Night Two. So there be no' so much against him.

Actually, it don't look altogether innocent, now that I look at it again - 'specially askin' if Mac be confessin', wit' no futher comment. I cud see it attractin' th' spy's attention, but it also migh've caught th' eye o' a clever cobbler as well.

[Mithalwen]

While double killing is the only way to find someones identity it does rob us of an opportunity to rid ourselves of a malevolent crewmember. Short of a protector save the agressors are going to kill each night. They are not going to kill one of their own surely and are unlikely to doublekill - and if they did it might be as a bluff rather than a certain indication that a ghost were being too perceptive. There are times for damage limitation but we can't afford to routinely doublekill people. I am inclined to take Greenie's word for now myself.

[Rikae]

Shasta, that be treacherous talk. Arr, I see no point in double lynchin' anybody until doin' so is likely to give us some really useful information. We double lynch Greenie, and we're either rid o' a cobbler (who can't do much harm now anyway) but don't know anythin', or we have proved Nerwen's innocence, but later in th' game, a double lynch o' th' right person will probably benefit us a lot more. I thought ye were bein' framed by th' aggressors, but now I be havin' second thoughts. Arrr.

[Boromir88]

Acts on her suspicions and votes Shasta.

Unfortunately, there's not usually a lot to go on on Day 1. So unless Shasta is actually a wolf and wanted revenge (doubtful), the aggressors were probably going for the traceless kill. Thus, it's doubtful that anyone named in any of Greenie's posts (sally, Izzy, Wilwa, Gwath, Shasta) is an evil one.

[A Little Green]

Names sally, Izzy, Wilwa, and Gwath but without any real reason (that I can see, at least).Arr, I named those scurvy dogs b'cos I hadn't been a-seein' them during th' Day an' wonder'd whar they might be. Nuthin' more spectacular than that.

Arr, it not be one person, it more be the collective that ar frustratin'. 'Tis hard enough to not know who we be lynchin' unless we decide to kill 'em twice, but when ye get 1/3 t' 1/2 o' the crew who be more silent than our 2 resident ghosts it gets difficult to do anythin'.

'Tis happens to be an off day fer me, an' I realize others are not unlucky, but is it t' much t' expect one rotten post o' suspects or thoughts about anythin'? I mean two-thirds o' th' day be gone already, an' thar be too many people who just haven't shown up. Day 1 be difficult to know what t' say, but this be getting slightly ridiculous.

Me be almost tempted to 'ote Izzy, as me believe we will lose her by the days end if she not 'ote today?

Now. onto thee McCaber lynchin' yesterday, an' I will be away until 2 hours or so 'fore the DL

[Annunfuiniel]

Me be almost tempted to 'ote Izzy, as me believe we will lose her by the days end if she not 'ote today?

Arrr, may be or nay, we'll see... But fer now I must make a decision fer 't may be yer surgeon won't be 'round durin' th' DL... I must be up an' goin' just after five AM, cursed job!

++Shasta

Reasons (weak, I be knowin') given above earlier, or somewhere thar.

[Boromir88]

Made the very first (an' be his only post) of the day yesterday.

Lommy says in 9:
McCaber - awful quick t' lick
And then in 64, calls him slippery.

Why I be curious about 'tis be McCaber as a lynch possibility, just came out o' the blue. No one say nothin' about him, except for Lommy, an' suddenly he winds up dead.

An' Lommy's vote explanation looks over-the top:
I dun like it tha' someun has had a chance to post bu' has only posted banter. Grant'd, tha' goes for a good lot o' people - like Mira, Sally n Shasta - bu' I feel the best voting good ol' Cabbie. Cos you know, Sally gives an innocent feel after all, I dun want t' vote Mira on Day1 again (I think I did it quite recently) n I'm too much o' a coward to enjoy th' sorta a responsible position that'd come wi' castin another vote fer Shasta as me vote is after all a lot o' a shot in th' dark. I hope ye mateseys can make more sense o' this mess in these last hours befer th' nightfall. Me's comfortable wi' a silly safe vote like this - n sorry to make un as I be disaprovin o' those in general, bu' there's really precious lil' t' go on - n goes directly to me bunk. Good night!
What's me suspect about Lommy's reason is she simply says sally feels innocent, an' it feel bad to vote Mira on Day 1, cus she seems to do that a lot. But, she doesn't want the responsibility if Shasta be lynched. Defendin'a fella mutinee Lommy? Arr, but she made clear she warn't be here today, so I guess it feel wrong votin' fer her.

Than suddenly an' fer no clear reason he winds up on Mac's guilty list, in post 80.
More guilty than innocent:

Nogrod - see above
Shasta - don't like his vote
McCaber

But Mac recants 'ote fer Nogrod, and throws it away fer Nogrod again...hmm, mutinee on mutinee? I know ye an' Nogrod like those types of mind triks.

Inziladun adds on the 2nd vote fer McCaber, but his reasoning looks a bit better than Lommy's. While Lommy goes t' th' extent of explaining why she didn't 'ote fer other people, and defendin' Shasta, Inziladun jus' gives his reasons and that's it...no dreg talk to sift through.

Now Nogrod, does quite a nifty job a' tryin' to look like he be steerin' suspicion away from McCaber, but still offerin' as a lynch possibility, an' of course goes to vote fer him:
McCaber sent the first post of the Day and never returned... Suspicious but maybe even too obvious? Anyway I don't like it.~#84
McCaber is the easy one to pick and possibly a good one to try (he's not too helpful), but is it too easy to have chances of succeeding?~#92
I'm Nogrod..."Oh, are ye sure ye want McCaber, he just looks obvious an' an easy chance. Arr his chance o' bein' a mutinee isn't likely."

Arr then comes the backstab!
I have two, McCaber has and Shasta... The usual suspects that is?

From those I'd pick

++ McCaber

just for being a bad sport (and hopefully an evil person trying to sneak through this Day).~#103

Befo'e Nog's vote Rikae pops in to recant on Inziladun, and 'ote McCaber, that be suspicious as well.

With thar bein' ghosts, and us not knowin' o' th' roles, it wouldn't surprise me to see different mutinee tactics either. It may be easier for mutinees to sa'e eachother, if ye see what I mean. I'm jus' spit-ballin here, but if Shasta be a wolf, th' 'ery set up o' th' game (with ghosts an' what not)...the mutineers may feel safe by sa'ing their own...when under 'normal' circumstances (we find out the role after a lynchin'), it is more beneficial to throw a mate under the ship.

[Nogrod]

Shasta, that be treacherous talk. Arr, I see no point in double lynchin' anybody until doin' so is likely to give us some really useful information. We double lynch Greenie, and we're either rid o' a cobbler (who can't do much harm now anyway) but don't know anythin', or we have proved Nerwen's innocence, but later in th' game, a double lynch o' th' right person will probably benefit us a lot more.+ if we learnt Nerwen is an innocent she would be dead the next Night - or probably the next.

I thought ye were bein' framed by th' aggressors, but now I be havin' second thoughts. Arrr.I said already in the morning that Shasta's joke looked fishy. And this will not help our First Mate look good.

Oh, I see some interesting things posted... Just a minute.

[Isabellkya]

When I saw Greenie`s Spy claim, I instantly thought bluff. Lynchin` th` lass` again would solve th` mystery, but I dasn`t think `t such a wise decision.

I be here an` wadin` through th` Seafarin` hearty speak

[Nogrod]

Now me gunner-matey has finally freaked out! Now some alcohol, from anywhere, he's getting conspirational unless he gets boozed-up...

I mean you really can't pick up a pair of people out from thin air (Shasta and MCCaber in this instance) and say that because x voted for the one s/he was trying to help the other as her/his mate in crime - or that anyone who did not vote for your candidate is a mutineer. Please.

On a second note I must say that I think Lommy's explanation of her vote looked more innocent and believble than Inziladun's, but that probably is a matter of taste.

Of the others I'm at the moment very much inclined to lynch Shasta - if I'd have to vote right now he would be my choice. And if Mac continues with that mal-driven crusade of his I see no sense in, I might differ from my principle which states that I should not try to lynch anyone whom I consider really a valuable aid to our cause when the ranks grow thinner and the stakes get higher - unless there really is a case I can believe in. But Mac has been just impossible this far (and what was that play with the votes there in the end Mac?). I hope he gets to his senses sooner rather than later.

On a third note. It may be easier for mutinees to sa'e eachother, if ye see what I mean. I'm jus' spit-ballin here, but if Shasta be a wolf, th' 'ery set up o' th' game (with ghosts an' what not)...the mutineers may feel safe by sa'ing their own...when under 'normal' circumstances (we find out the role after a lynchin'), it is more beneficial to throw a mate under the ship.You're absolytely right that the mutineers can easily stick together and even help each other out because no-one's role will be known after they die. But that also means that they don't need to even maintain an image they would have suspected a fellow at some point of the game (to look better later when that one turns out a wolf).

It also means that the wolves can go for a full-frontal attack in the bright daylight against anyone they wish to remove as their treachery will never be found out. They just happened to be a few blokes voting for a certain person that Day.

Not knowing the roles of the dead makes this game so different and totally insane... And it looks like it renders every single Day a kind of Day1. :confused:

[wilwarin538]

k, I'm here and reading, have to read all of yesterDay too so this might take a while...

[Nogrod]

Oh you muddy misbehavin' gangstas, down-lying hidin' cowards and rapscallions! Isn't there pirate enough in you to speak! Oh you landlubbers and tenderfeet!

I'll speak no more until someone but us gunners shows guts to play this.

EDIT: X'd with wilwa... ;) but that was not much I daresay...

[Kath]

I just want to make it clear that this post is in NO way related to Nog's little threat there. In fact I was rather inclined to not post on purpose just to annoy him. :D But no, here I am so I shall post.

Anyway, going to have a look at the votes for McCaber yesterDay because there was a bandwagon that seemed to come from nowhere! Then have a look at what's been going on toDay. Back in a bit.

[Kath]

McCaber:
Our first poster. Said Shasta must be evil because he is first mate.

Mentions of McCaber:
Shasta argues back.
Lommy says McCaber was too quick to cast stones.
Mac says he is wrong so maybe Shasta and McCaber should be lynched.
Lommy says he is slippery - no reason.
Mac puts McCaber in his guilty list - no reason.
Nog has McCaber down as especially suspicious for barely posting. Says he is easy to pick to lynch, maybe too easy.
Boro says it's when McCaber is more active that there is any point to lynching him.
sally too calls McCaber slippery but not sure that he's evil.
Mac says McCaber is an easy pick.

Votes for McCaber:
Lommy - because he has posted but only posted banter. Because she didn't want to vote Mira, sally or Shasta who had done the same thing. This really is a pretty throwaway vote.

Inzil - votes McCaber for having only one post. A thin case indeed.

Rikae - retracts her vote for Inzil to vote McCaber. Says it's to weed the silent ones out and means the wolves have fewer possible trailless kills.

Nog - votes McCaber as a choice between him and Shasta for being a bad sport. Given his earlier, better reasoning against others I'm assuming he actually went for McCaber out of a desire to save his own skin.

So not the most fantastic of reasons there! I understand the desire to weed out the quiet ones, it does get quiet when there are only quiet ones left, and sometimes if they're evil it does help them wander through the game. But I think in times when someone has actually got a fairer case or better suspicions about someone ignoring those just to kill off a quiet person isn't the greatest plan ever. Anyway, from the votes I'd say Nog is ok. I think he realised voting McCaber was the only way to save himself. Doesn't mean he isn't a wolf trying to save himself but this early in the game I'm pretty sure an innocent Nog would think himself more worth saving. Rikae I think was trying to make her vote count a bit more, as no one else seemed inclined to go for Inzil. Lommy could be suspicious. An early throwaway vote that ended up getting leapt on later, something she probably didn't expect.

Off to look at toDay now.

Oh yeah, and I just had to mention because it made me laugh so much:
It don't matter much whether he be sound or rotten, he surely wears his Captain Obvious hat and sails in his Captain Obvious ship.
From Shasta about Eonwe ... sorry Eonwe, but it was funny. :D

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Yawn. I'm not going to bother piratifying this post; if you three (Rikae, Annun, Nogrod) want to lynch me for asking a question and making a joke than for any real reason, feel free. You'll notice I didn't advocate lynching Greenie, I asked for what people thought were the pros and cons. Don't twist my words.

[wilwarin538]

Ok, so firstly I have to say that this pirate talk is totally confusing me, I don't know why I'm having such a hard time but I can barely understand anything anyone is saying, it's why I pretty much gave up trying to read everything yesterDay (plus I was practically already asleep) and just voted random. So yeah, if I misunderstand what's happening or just totally miss something completely, that is why. :rolleyes:

So I am inclined to believe Greenie, and therefore trust Nerwen (though she could still be a cobbler right?). But it could help us to kill her a second time cause then we'd either see she is the spy and have a known innocent in Nerwen, or see that she is a cobbler and get rid of a baddie who's oppinion can't sway us negatively any longer. But it may also be a good idea to keep that as an option for when we're more desperate for information. I'd be good with either option, I'd go with whatever the majority decides, which by looks of it is choice B for now.

So I'll be around randomly for the next few hours or so, my vote will be approximately 4 hours before deadline, since DL for me is midnight. It will be more thought out I hope toDay. ;)


x'posted with Kath and Shasta

[Eönwë]

Reading through the thread...

At the moment I don't think it matters much what we think or believe about her alignment, but it may become an issue later...
Tis be true... thar may be a possiblity that she be one of 'em co-conspirators, but she still only be knowin' as much as we do.

edit: Ah! 'Twas sed by Noggie jus' after al'redy

[satansaloser2005]

I be getting to page five later, me hearties.


So th' little green drunk be dead, she be. I says there be several thing she could be aiming for with her reveal whatsit, but not all of them be safe to be saying in front of ye mutinous dogs. She be dead, and she ain't be giving real bearings on crewmember's allegiences yet, so let's be leaving her alone.

The puffy shirt one, she be missing a big post, and she be sad about it. Poor matey, let's all give her a moment of silence. (Or a moment with Silas, the other cabin boy, if ye be the drunken Green or if Nerwen's going deaf as well as blind.) Ye-Not-Really-Ol'-but-I-can't-resist-th'-title-Mith be not talking in our piratey tongue, but that's no reason to be cutting out hers. Still be a lot of banter in this here ship, methinks.

There be a vote for the high-pitched one, and I don't see much point in followin it.

I still think we should hook up un o' them shiny musical devices and listen to some Sinatra. (And because I know not everyone will pick up on my silliness, I'm referring to the song Mack the Knife, which opens with the lines "Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear....")


All in all, be a lot of trouble if ye little hiccuping one be telling th' truth, but we got bigger Kraken (pronounced crackin', ye landlubbers) to fry right now.


Page five ahoy!

[Rikae]

Yawn. I'm not going to bother piratifying this post; if you three (Rikae, Annun, Nogrod) want to lynch me for asking a question and making a joke than for any real reason, feel free. You'll notice I didn't advocate lynching Greenie, I asked for what people thought were the pros and cons. Don't twist my words.

I'll take ye up on that, matey.

++Shasta

This "don't twist my words" just seals th' deal. After all, askin' fer th' "pros and cons" when the crew were already agreed not t' lynch her now looks even worse than advocatin' lynchin' her straightforward-like would: puts th' idea out there w'out gettin' yer hands dirty, ye scalliwag.

[Eönwë]

#60. (To Cowerin' Gwath Slasher– he were a-threatenin' of her fer callin' him a powder-monkey, which he be, the lubber!)
'Twas fer callin' 'im Gwathy I believe. Sez so in t'quote ye give.


Jus' sayin'...


What worries me now, tho', are th' reactions t' th' drunk - p'ticklarly Eonwe n' Inziladun's, because o' t' way they latch onto th' idea o' a co-conspirator (ef I be readin' them right) revealin' later
What that be meanin'? I sed was 'tat if she be not th' real spy then th' real spy probly not be revealin' so early, so we'll 'ave t' make sho' tha' we don' trust Greenie too much. We'll may 'ave t' accept 'er as th' spy (if there be no counter-claims), but what i'm sayin' is not to place all yer trust in 'er, as she may be a-lyin'.

An' latch on? I was th' first 'un to say th't she may not be th' spy.

We know Greenie's be 'acked by the mutineers, which mean she most likely be good, an' even if she be a co-conspier'ator, it would be no use in lynchin' her at 'tis point when no one else has said they be the spy. I say we trus' her, which means fer now I also trust Nerwen...I s'pose 'tis possible she be a co-conspie, but thar be no reason to doubt Greenie, at 'tis point, an' thus Nerwen too is not a mutineer. Nerwen's status could change, dependin' on Greenie's role, an' other behaviors, but fer now...if ye trus' Greenie, I be trustin' Nerwen. Thar be no sense in lynchin' either o' them today.

How does tha' work? Greenie sed she ha' no dream. So that be a-helpin' Nerwen's case?

[Kath]

ToDay:

McCaber - says he is innocent and that he thinks Greenie is likely to be.

Shasta - says he killed Greenie. Could be a joke, could be a Fea-like reveal! I would be more inclined to think it a joke. Not sure Shasta plays that boldly. Asks about the pros and cons of lynching Greenie. Defends himself.

Nerwen - says Greenie's death could have been to try and set up Shasta or that he might be a wolf and it's a double bluff. The latter seems less likely given Shasta's 'confession'. Also pokes Rikae for an explanation. Says would be interesting to know whether the wolves would have known that Greenie couldn't dream Night 1, turns out it was in the rules so they would have known, which again to me makes him look more innocent. Says she thinks Mac is on the wrong track with Nog. Says to Mith that Nog hasn't actually mentioned her since yesterDay - if this is true it is a little odd but then Mith is playing catch up. Defends Greenie a bit, agrees that Eonwe and Inzil look suspicious. Votes Inzil for being a bit shifty.

Greenie - informs us that she is the spy. I must say I'm inclined to believe her. There would seem no point in lying. Unless she's the Cobbler and wants to trip up the real spy very early on ... but even then one lynch later in the game if someone else reveals tells us the truth, we simply lynch Greenie at that point. Says she spied Nerwen but isn't sure of her role.

Eonwe - I'm slightly confused. Seems to say that if Greenie is not the spy then the real one won't reveal so we should take what Greenie says with a pinch of salt ... but then says the wolves were either very lucky or good. Just sort of seems to go against his own point.

Nog - thinks the wolves just got lucky since the spy not having a Night 1 dream was in the rules but wonders about just how lucky they got. Says he smells a rat ... about how the wolves got the spy or whether they actually got the spy I'm not sure. Says Shasta seemed to be taking defensive measures very early on. Interesting, but I think that was more roleplay than pre-defense. Says it doesn't matter what Greenie is yet, which I agree with and said earlier I think. Suspicion of Shasta. Says he'll vote Shasta for earlier reasons or Mac for being 'impossible'.

Inzil - thinks Greenie is definitely not evil, but that if she were the spy she should have held on to the info for later use. Defends himself against Rikae.

Mac - thinks its worth believing Greenie. Says he'll have a look at Nog. Fair enough.

Mith - wonders why Nog is suspecting her and says he's on the wrong track. Says no to double lynching Greenie. Votes Nog ... I assume because he never answered her about why he thought her suspicious.

Boro - says McCaber is likely innocent and that Greenie is likely good, thus Nerwen is likely good. Again I agree. Says Nog, Shasta and Gwath are suspicious and that he'll say why later. Says there's no point in finding out Greenie's role yet, I agree. Says he has some suspicion of Gwath because his vote for wilwa was a throwaway one so late in the Day. Asks to be voted for ... in joke? Says he's tempted to vote Izzy as if she's a no show she's dead anyway. Has a look at McCaber votes, notices similar things to me ... interesting thoughts about wolf plans.

Gwath - says Greenie's role doesn't matter right now. But agrees with Rikae that people have accepted her reveal too readily. Explains rubbish reasons for voting wilwa.

Rikae - is suspicious of Greenie. Thinks Eonwe and Inzil are suspicious for their reactions to Greenie's reveal (I think) and also for how Eonwe reacted to her hunter mention. I must admit I didn't really notice his reaction, what happened there? Says Nerwen looks a bit suspicious for 'stirring the pot' over Mac's confession. Interesting idea. Says Shasta thinking about a double lynch is treacherous. I don't know, I think it's a good idea to talk things through, and he didn't advocate it, he asked for pros and cons.

Annu - says Nerwen and sally look good to her (is Annu a her?). Agrees with Rikae about Shasta, but I think has got the wrong end of the stick there. He didn't actually advocate lynching Greenie, he just asked for opinions about it. Votes Shasta - bad reasoning in my view.

Mira - says Greenie was a safe kill so it's unlikely that sally, Izzy, wilwa, Gwath and Shasta are evil as Greenie mentioned them.

Izzy - ah she is here. Thought Greenie's spy claim was suspicious but thinks double lynching her a bad idea.

wilwa - believes Greenie and thus Nerwen innocent. Thinks double lynching could be good, could be bad.

And that's all folks. So let's see:

Innocent:
Boro - I actually agree with a lot of what he's said.
Inzil - last game I was convinced he was evil and I was right, this game I haven't become that sure.
Nog - he's on his anti-quiet crusade again. It makes him abrasive but no more likely to be guilty.
Shasta - almost more because of the way people have attacked him without great reason than for what he himself has said.
Nerwen - as I'm believing Greenie right now.

No idea:
wilwa - just not enough from her to have any idea.
Izzy - same as above.
Mira - and again.
Mith - not enough.
Mac - in here til he explains his Nog stuff.

Not so innocent:
Annu - I think the way that she jumped on to the suspicion of Shasta was odd. If you actually read his post he doesn't say 'let's lynch Greenie' which is what she says he said. It just seems like she grabbed on to Rikae's suspicion and ran with it.
Rikae - for seemingly twisting Shasta's words there.
Gwath - for really bad voting reasons yesterDay, a throwaway vote when he could have had a deciding one.
Eonwe - weird explanation earlier.

I'm going to vote:

++ANNU

For reasons above.

[Eönwë]

Nope. Night 2 was me first spyin' an' those maggots went an' killed me.

There. She had no dreams. The end. Stop saying that Nerwen is a "proven" innocent, people.

I find all o' ye that latched onto it suspicious...

[Rikae]

Ok, Eon, I see ye were sayin' th' opposite o' what I thought. But now I have a question -
I sed was 'tat if she be not th' real spy then th' real spy probly not be revealin' so early, so we'll 'ave t' make sho' tha' we don' trust Greenie too much.

Why wouldn't th' real spy reveal right away? She'd be dead, so what would she have t' lose, savvy?

[wilwarin538]

There. She had no dreams. The end. Stop saying that Nerwen is a "proven" innocent, people.

I find all o' ye that latched onto it suspicious...


No, she had a dream Night 2, even though she was killed she was still given a dream. She even said it at the bottom of page 4 that she dreamt Nerwen and was told she was innocent. So, yeah...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

An' he keeps 'em pearly white, Mac.

X'd with... rather a lot.

[Rikae]

Kath, go back an' look at what I say in me vote post. I think what Shasta did was worse than "advocating a double lynch". I ne'er said he did, so whose words 'r bein' a-twisted now, eh?

Eonwe, Green did claim that she dreamed o' Nerwen an' found her not an aggressor.

EDIT: X'd w' Wilwa n' Shasta

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I'll take ye up on that, matey.

++Shasta

This "don't twist my words" just seals th' deal. After all, askin' fer th' "pros and cons" when the crew were already agreed not t' lynch her now looks even worse than advocatin' lynchin' her straightforward-like would: puts th' idea out there w'out gettin' yer hands dirty, ye scalliwag.

Really? Point out to me, would you, where "the crew agreed not to lynch her". Someone forged my name, or something, because last I checked, I'm a part of the crew and I agreed to no such thing.

[Rikae]

Eonwe's mistake makes 'im look a little more innocent t' me.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Kath, go back an' look at what I say in me vote post. I think what Shasta did was worse than "advocating a double lynch". I ne'er said he did, so whose words 'r bein' a-twisted now, eh?

Ahem?

Shasta, that be treacherous talk. Arr, I see no point in double lynchin' anybody until doin' so is likely to give us some really useful information. We double lynch Greenie, and we're either rid o' a cobbler (who can't do much harm now anyway) but don't know anythin', or we have proved Nerwen's innocence, but later in th' game, a double lynch o' th' right person will probably benefit us a lot more. I thought ye were bein' framed by th' aggressors, but now I be havin' second thoughts. Arrr.

You wouldn't have been suspicious of me if you didn't think I was advocating a second lynch of Greenie, now would you? I'm thinking accusing Kath of twisting your words when she in fact did not makes you look worse.

[Rikae]

Really? Point out to me, would you, where "the crew agreed not to lynch her". Someone forged my name, or something, because last I checked, I'm a part of the crew and I agreed to no such thing.

Th' rest o' th' crew, if you prefer. No one else was considerin' it, but you asked fer th' pros n' cons as if there were a debate 'goin. Nah, I think you just slipped up an' yer only talkin' yer neck into a noose now...

[Eönwë]

Why wouldn't th' real spy reveal right away? She'd be dead, so what would she have t' lose, savvy?

Because they'd want time to get more dreams.

KathEonwe, Green did claim that she dreamed o' Nerwen an' found her not an aggressor.

Ok yes. I'm sorry about that. I misread her posts.

Eonwe - I'm slightly confused. Seems to say that if Greenie is not the spy then the real one won't reveal so we should take what Greenie says with a pinch of salt ... but then says the wolves were either very lucky or good. Just sort of seems to go against his own point.

The second part is only applicable if she really was the spy.

edit: fixed first quote

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Yar! in true sea-dog style, I've been tearing the skin,
while idling by, off my ol' vi-o-lin
and emptying bottles of the 40% gold

And in such time as this proudman should
be of a collapsing, here on this island of wood,
My song renders your bones cold

A wailing! And yet more wailing! And thus!
In fear and loathing, shipmates scramble and cuss,
and their minds to Davy are sold -

And now!

Black comes the night, decay and death;
A poor acquaintance shall lose the breath
when his book is bound to fold.

Mirandir! Mirandir! Your scheming redundant
Your actions are a show, simple, transparent,
Green's death had no secrets to behold.

An honest appraisal? Clearly, nay!
Despicable showmanship? Verily, aye!
Your act is seen! The style is old.

++MIRANDIR

Rum is pointless. There's so little time allotted to us and so much whisky to enjoy.

[Rikae]

Ok, one last time:

I thought ye were doin' jus' as I said, Shasta: pushin' th' double lynch (which would be a wasted lynch now) while tryin' t' look neutral.

An' I were accusin' you, not Kath, o' twistin' my words. Or you an' Kath t'gether, as it were.

[Rikae]

Because they'd want time to get more dreams.


Methinks dead seers don't dream.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Th' rest o' th' crew, if you prefer. No one else was considerin' it, but you asked fer th' pros n' cons as if there were a debate 'goin. Nah, I think you just slipped up an' yer only talkin' yer neck into a noose now...

You speak for the rest of the crew now, do you? If I "slipped up" by asking a question, then please, by all means lynch me for showing curiosity.

No one's asked me, but I'll avoid Rikae and her attempt to distract me and say it anyway; while I don't at all advocate mass double-lynching, I think in this case, with Greenie claiming to be our Spy, it could be a good idea. If she is the Spy, she can't help us with her role any more, and either way we get information on Nerwen.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Ok, one last time:

I thought ye were doin' jus' as I said, Shasta: pushin' th' double lynch (which would be a wasted lynch now) while tryin' t' look neutral.

An' I were accusin' you, not Kath, o' twistin' my words. Or you an' Kath t'gether, as it were.

Doesn't matter who you were accusing, the plain fact is, no one did, so now that you've been caught in a lie...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

And, as I've already said, I wasn't "pushing the double lynch".

[Eönwë]

Methinks dead seers don't dream.

The real one'd still be alive (unless it's Cabbie).

[Rikae]

Wow, that 'as t' be th' most egregious example o' defensiveness I ha' ever seen.

'tis folly t' continue this banter, when ye can all see fer yourselves what's afoot.

The real one'd still be alive (unless it's Cabbie).

Ok, now I see what ye be drivin' at, me 'earty.

EDIT: Th' first two lines be in regards to Mr. Shark Tooth.

[Eönwë]

Ok, well I need to go now. I was slightly tempted to vote for Rikae, but the way she's attacked Shasta seems to violent and overdone to be wolfish.

I don't feel comfortable with voting someone as I have absolutely no idea who I find innocent or guilty. I will have more time toMorrow (If I'm still alive) to look in more detail at people's posts.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Okay, you can't attack me and then accuse me of being defensive when I defend myself.

[Isabellkya]

I think there is a higher likelihood of being able to trust the ones whom are killed during the Night. As I can't see the baddies killing themselves. I could see some suggesting the idea, however whether or not it was followed through with.. not quite. There would be more loss than gain from it.

Zil is reminding me of a previous game.

It seems to me that usually the easier lynch candidates end up innocents.

I wouldn't think of Nog going for the easier choice.
I think some of the reasons, if not most that people gave for their vote were complete hogwash.

Sally.
In #99 you say..

I be gettin' a bit of funny feelings from that there Shasta too, but I don't think it be a hunch worth following with a lynch.

Yet in #104 you vote for him.
Hopping on a Wagon of Contradictory much?

Mac. Were you trying to help Nog get wagoned, then retracted when it looked possible. So your hands would be relatively clean. But hopped right back on when it didn't look like others would place their votes that way?

What is with all of the jumping on Shasta? I'm inclined to either think A) He is a baddie B) Jumpers are Baddies or C) ?

If I were jumping on him, I'd say he is innocent. I'm not. Then again, he is Shasta.

Of Nerwen and Nog, you both should know better.

Your vote of Zil looks like someone trying to throw another under a moving ship, based solely on previous pack-mateship, Nerwen. Zil has played.. one previous game before? You could quite likely be a known innocent, if Greenie is telling the truth. I suggest you vote with much more substantial reasons, as some may or may not follow you based on your possible knownshipness. Of course, you could not be an innocent at all.

I think the Captain Obvious thing was from Gwath?

X'd since #184.

[Rikae]

Ok, well I need to go now. I was slightly tempted to vote for Rikae, but the way she's attacked Shasta seems to violent and overdone to be wolfish.


Violent and overdone? What be Steve drinkin' (an' if he be drinkin', why's he holdin' out on the rest o' us?)

[Gwathagor]

Oh yeah, and I just had to mention because it made me laugh so much:

[captain obvious remark]

From Shasta about Eonwe ... sorry Eonwe, but it was funny. :D

Be ye sure that was from yer mate Shasta? ;)

[Rikae]

Izzy's aboard? :eek:

Hm, I believe I'd best be makin' a list, since some stowaways here be slippin' under me radar. Arrr.

Here are the ones that don't:

Shasta: On second thought, mebbe his defensiveness isn't incriminatin' in itself. I remember him bein' a hot-tempered sort o' sea dog, ef my memory don't fail me. The things that first made me uneasy 'bout him still stand, though, an' his defense, if it ain't hurtin' him, ain't helpin neither.

Nerwen - Is a known non-aggressor if Greenie be tellin' th' truth, an' so I obviously won't vote fer 'er now. If Greenie proves false, that's another story.

Greenie - I think mebbe she be one o' th' co-conspirators, but she could also be th' spy. Lynchin' her now won't do much good, but mebbe another Day.

Eonwe - His mistake made him look a bit better t' me, since an aggressor would prob'ly be payin' closer attention.

...an' t' rest t' follow...

[Macalaure]

Arr! Me been thinking to have more time during day. Now the deadline be approachin' slowly and many pages to be read.

Just skimmed th' thredd for mentions of me and will now respond to those. Then I'll go try find out which of ye scurvy dogs be scurvier than th' rest.


But ye be on th' wrong tack wi' Gunner Nogrod, I reckon.

Arrrr, ye be close to a known innocent at this point, so, if ye say so, I will let him be for now, although he literally begs for me vote. :rolleyes:


An' he keeps 'em pearly white, Mac.

An' ye be keepin' it out of sight, I reckon?


Some of ye have been wonderin' 'bout me vote yesterDay. I first voted him 'cause he was my best suspect and hoped to bring a wagg'n goin', then retracted 'cause so did Boro, and thus the chance turning Nog into fodder for the fish seemed slim. Arr, but I crossed with Annu's vote for Nogrod. Then I had a quick look at ev'ryone again, but simply didn't find a better cand'ate and revoted him out o' frrustrration.

[Gwathagor]

Ok, well I need to go now. I was slightly tempted to vote for Rikae, but the way she's attacked Shasta seems to violent and overdone to be wolfish.

Have ye played with Rikae before, mate? Let me tell ye, whether she be sound or rotten weighs no anchor - she be just as like to get worked up. (No offense meant, Rikae.:))

[Gwathagor]

Okay, you can't attack me and then accuse me of being defensive when I defend myself.

Aye, matey, that's worst.

[Rikae]

-Legless Sally Dawkins - She be givin' me th' same uneasy feeling she always does. Shiver me timbers!
-Puffy Shirt Rikae - Arr. That be me, an' I be no one to be trifled with - that is all ye need know.
-Pirate Lommy the Infected - Where be th' quartermaster t'day, anyhow? YesterDay I thought she merited a closer look.
-Gangrenous Inziladun Jones - A few alarms, but don't know 'im well. Can't be sure.
-Pirate Boromir the Malformed - 'e seems ok, but p'raps a little careful.
-Stutterin’ Wilwa Scab - Arr, she be a-sleepin' under me reindeer.
-High-Pitched Annu - Newbie, no read.
-Whinin’ Eomer Bonny - 'e 'asn't said much, n' not enough fer me t' pin 'im down.
-Snifflin’ Mac Sparrow - Ordinary enough.
-Poop Deck Kath - Seemed a little overeager t' accuse me o' twistin' people's words. Mebbe I lack perspective, but it didn't look right.
-Cowerin' Gwath Slasher - 'e be quiet. I trust Gwath more when 'e's, quiet, but I also don't much approve o' quetness when there are aggressors t' be caught.
-Pirate Nogrod the Fashionably Late - 'e seems like 'imself, conspiracy theories 'n all. I can never read 'im.
-Dancin' Mira Blythe - See Gwath.
-Ham-Hands Izzy - See Gwath times 1000. I didn' even realize she war here 'til just now.
-Short Ruth Mithril - Seems innocent for now.

I don't see why Eonwe n' Gwath seem t' think I be violent an' "worked up". I be nothin' o' th' sort, an' if Shasta responded that way hesel'f, well, thar's why I call 'im defensive.
Seriously, mates, ye don't think I call a body "defensive" 'jus cuz 'e defend himself, do ye? I sez it when th' defense be over-th'-top, out o' proportion - well, ye see wha' I mean.
But on th' other hand, I've seen a few good pirates end up walkin' th' plank because th' crew mistook defensivness fer guilt, an' Shasta's among 'em. I get th' feelin' our aggressors be among th' cautious ones not makin' an impression on me yet, an' in that case, there needs t' be more talk (n' more hands speakin' their minds, instead o' hidin' in th' shadows). Usually Nog would be pushin' fer that, too, which is one odd thing about 'im now.

[Gwathagor]

I don't see why Eonwe n' Gwath seem t' think I be violent an' "worked up". I be nothin' o' th' sort, an' if Shasta responded that way hesel'f, well, thar's why I call 'im defensive.


As a matter o' fact, I warn't callin' ye worked up - I was mostly warnin' our mate Eonwe not to let affect his judgement one way or t'other if ye should get, er, excited.

[Nogrod]

Arrrrrr! At last ye start to sound like pirates! This isss more like it!

I did a vote count just for myself while skimming the thread and will post it if anyone's interested. I have a few comments on Day1 voting included. But then I'd like to do some actual mutineer-searching (somethings I think have changed since I last called in).

(I don't like this aesthetics but as there were a few retractions its more informative this way. Also in the end I've put in the minutes of the voting posts for those votes given during the last twenty minutes)

Day1

Rikae ++ Inziladun
Eomer ++ Mirandir
Boro ++ Nogrod
Kath ++ Eönwe
Shasta ++ Boro
Eönwe ++ Rikae
Greenie ++ Shasta
Lommy ++ McCaber
Wilwa ++ Greenie
Mac ++ Nogrod 2
Inziladun ++ McCaber 2
.40 Boro -- Nogrod 1
.52 Annu ++ Nogrod 2
.52 Boro ++ Shasta 2
.57 Rikae -- Inziladun 0
.57 Rikae ++ McCaber 3
.58 Mac -- Nogrod 1
.58 Nogrod ++ McCaber 4
.59 Sally ++ Shasta 3
.00 Mac ++ Nogrod 2
(.01 Gwath ++ wilwa, unbolded)

Okay Boro, now I see where you come with this Shasta / McCaber choice. Even if I still think you were a bit too fast there... (hah, me telling you to cool down with conspiracies and trying to stay level-headed! :rolleyes:).

Anyway, from the votes I'd say Nog is ok. I think he realised voting McCaber was the only way to save himself. Doesn't mean he isn't a wolf trying to save himself but this early in the game I'm pretty sure an innocent Nog would think himself more worth saving.Well, saving a known innocent beats sacrificing him for someone you can't be sure of... and sadly my only known innocent is me. :)

I saw Mac's explanation and can see the reason for his to and fro now (looking at the times the votes came in - I still don't like it but in the case you're innocent I wouldn't like to see you walk the plank for that).

The deciders were I think me and Rikae (I hadn't seen her vote when I voted). My choice went - besides self-defence (eg. thinking which one could be easier to lynch while not being too happy with either) - based on thoughts on how they would contribute in the long run. There I think Shasta has clearly better credentials of being a lively one and taking part (sorry McCaber).

[Macalaure]

Shasta's getting so worked up that he's probably innocent.

Rikae is probably innocent, too, and so is Boro. The rest, except Nerwen, I have no clue about, and that's unsettling.

I need my own fresh perspective on yesterday's voting.

[wilwarin538]

Short thoughts on everyone:

Shasta - I don't see why some people jumped on him for suggesting that we consider the pros and cons of lynching Greenie, cause I find that there are some pros to doing that. He did get a bit defensive, but I don't see it as looking guilty.

Nerwen - I'm going to consider her innocent for now, since I am inclined to trust Greenie.

Greenie - inclined to trust

Eonwe - Confuses me a bit, and not just because of the pirate talk, seemed very quick to not believe Greenie. Will go over his posts again when I have more time.

Nogrod - seems like normal Nog to me.

Inzil - aswell seems fine to me.

Mac - same.

Mith - uhm, aswell seems fine...wow, I'm too trusting.

Boro - helpful, makes sense, I haven't seen anything that I disagree with, seems fine aswell.

Gwath - Really it's his vote yesterDay that bugs me, and not because it was for me, it was just odd and I think random votes closer at the beginning of Day 1 is kinda ok (and there were a good few yesterDay including myself), but at the end of the day when there are more helpful options you can vote for, it doesn't make sense to just throw your vote away like that.

Rikae - bad vibes, seems a bit intense, I will read over her posts when I have more time (which probably won't be until Day 3 to be honest)

Annu - going to give her a break for now since it's her first game, that ends Day 3

Mira - nothing that she's said has stuck out in my mind

Izzy - has she posted yet? I can't remember, will double check that later.

So yeah, for now the ones that I'm unsure of are Eonwe, Gwath and Rikae.

[Boromir88]

'Bout time we get some passion an' fire on 'tis ship! :p

-Pirate Boromir the Malformed - 'e seems ok, but p'raps a little careful.~RikaeOkay Boro, now I see where you come with this Shasta / McCaber choice. Even if I still think you were a bit too fast there... (hah, me telling you to cool down with conspiracies and trying to stay level-headed! ).~Nogrod
Thar be interestin'...me bein' a little careful, or a whacky conspiracy theorist? Thar seems t' be a bit o' a contradiction thar.

Fo' the record, I be more in accordance with Rikae...me bein' a little careful. That be mostly because I am not sure just what theory I want t' test.

Do I go with a feelin' that Nogrod be a mutineer? That 'e been playin' sneaky, by attemptin' to discourage votin' for McCaber, but still shootin' him in th' back. Although if I be wrong, we lose a mate who I know will participate an' 'ote.

Perhaps Nogrod, ye can share why ye think Inziladun's vote looks more suspicious than Lommy's?...I mean more than simply sayin' ye disagree. :rolleyes:

Then we 'ave Kath saying Rikae is twistin' Shasta's words. Rikae sayin' Shasta's twistin' her words, and Shasta sayin' Rikae is twistin' his words. Thar be a lot of word twistin' an' I wonder about testin' whether Rikae be a co-conspirator(Kath seems to be more logical...or mehbe that's just becuz she be honey-talkin' me). Or I wonder if all the piratifyin' be the cause of all th' word twistin'?

But then Rikae actually has been makin' more sense after the Shasta duel...I mean I wonder 'bout testin' whether we 'ave non-confrontational mutineers...people stayin' out o' the scruffles, such as Gwath, Eomer, Mira, sally, Dun, Izzy an' Mac. (Mac more today than yesterday, he be more fiery yesterday). But since Izzy's here, postin' an' askin questions, I feel good about her now.

Mith's been silent, but she be on Nogrod, so I wouldn't count her non-confrontational.

An' seein' as Eonwe's been out here and answerin' some of his questionable statements, I must disagree with whoever it was that said he be captain obvious.

Then I wonder if I want to test Shasta's challenge to lynch him...hmm that be a mighty temptin' offer, I don't know if ye want to throw me that rope first mate. :p

[Boromir88]

Oh an' Rikae ye asked about Lommy. Ye can check the Cap'ns log, she said she would not be here at all today, she be busy elsewhere all day.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Just to be clear; I think Rikae's evil and possibly Annun as well. :)

++Rikae

[Macalaure]

(Mac more today than yesterday, he be more fiery yesterday)

He be less tired yesterday, and, since people (other than Mith, I guess) keep on dissuading me from Nogrod, less clueless.

[Nogrod]

Even if there is a chance Greenie is a co-opsie, we would be very foolish to lynch Nerwen on Day2. That would be stupid indeed. She can be as smooth and shrewd as Brinn (and that's saying a lot) but still. Not our first worry, I'd say.

Also I would not want to see any of the first group (following) lynched on Day2 - or any other Day in the beginning of the game: stubborn, independent-minded and talkative people who can make others consider and reconsider are worth their weight in gold when the going gets tough (or the thread dries up because no one posts anything).

That's why the mutineers want these to walk the plank so that we couldn't trust them (even a wee bit) in the future. The mutineers will not be happy to kill people from this bunch during the Night as they can stay and help as "known innocents" (about that). They want the indetermination and insecurity that follows from lynching. So let's not help them in the first Days. It may get different as Days go by though.

-Puffy Shirt Rikae ~ Cabin Boy
-Pirate Lommy the Infected ~ Quartermaster
-Pirate Boromir the Malformed ~ Gunner
-Snifflin’ Mac Sparrow ~ Cooper
-Poop Deck Kath ~ Musician (Pipe)

(I'm not saying that all above are innocents! Not at all! I'm almost sure at least one of them is a mutineer, but let's not start hitting the dark from the direction that the mutineers woud want us to.)

Then come the ones I have no freakin' idea about. Could be good, good be bad. I just don't have a clue or even a decent feel of them.

-Legless Sally Dawkins ~ Carpenter
-Gangrenous Inziladun Jones ~ Pilot
-Stutterin’ Wilwa Scab ~ Cook
-Cowerin' Gwath Slasher ~ Powder Monkey
-Ham-Hands Izzy ~ Striker
-Stinkin' Eön Bloodbeard ~ Powder Monkey

Leaving me with a short list of those I have suspicions, or bad / strongly mixed feelings about. Those will follow with a few comments.

[Nogrod]

Perhaps Nogrod, ye can share why ye think Inziladun's vote looks more suspicious than Lommy's?...I mean more than simply sayin' ye disagree. :rolleyes:Okay. It looked more sincere... well the way she thinks and posts in general. Well, she just is like that. You remember the famous "Lommy flip-flop"? She goes this way then that way... looking at it from all angles - and taking personal motives into account.

With Inziladun I think it was easier, possibly more calculative... But anyway quite safe-looking thing: just refer to a few points others have made and then say it's weak but better than nothing. I don't like that kind of votes - hiding behind the backs of others and making it clear you're not wholeheartedly sticking to it.

So Lommy looked more sincere, Inziladun less.

That isn't to say Lommy couldn't be the mutineer...

[Macalaure]

After looking at the voting again:

With toDay's vote in mind, too: Does anyone have an idea what Eomer is up to?

Lommy's vote is too careful for my taste. I'm with Boro: I'm ok with Inzy's.

Nog's behavior is a chapter of its own, but I won't open it toDay.

Slightly fishy votes also came from Kath, Wilwa, and, in fact, Boro.

I don't find Gwath's vote suspicious. Looks like a simple case of last minute panic to me.

[Gwathagor]

Then we 'ave Kath saying Rikae is twistin' Shasta's words. Rikae sayin' Shasta's twistin' her words, and Shasta sayin' Rikae is twistin' his words. Thar be a lot of word twistin' an' I wonder about testin' whether Rikae be a co-conspirator(Kath seems to be more logical...or mehbe that's just becuz she be honey-talkin' me). Or I wonder if all the piratifyin' be the cause of all th' word twistin'?

I be thinkin' that maybe one of the pirates involved in the quarrel could be a mutineer tryin' to sow dissension among the crew. Tryin' to play it up, add fuel to the fire, you know. Which one is anybody's guess though.

[Nogrod]

Here be my list of people I trust less than you others (which isn't much either).

-Shark Tooth Shasta ~ First mate
I still have my bad feelings about him but at the same time I agree that his defence was not too agressive as some people say when trying to point at someone being lupine - but actually quite good (it oft'times sounded pretty genuinely enraged indeed). So he's possibly my least favourite lynchee toDay from this group.

-Short Ruth Mithril ~ Cook
There's something in her defensiveness that goes over the top. I mean there were no votes, no serious challenges on her, no outspoken suspicions that would go over the "I have bad vibes from her" -level, she was no talk of the Day on either Days... good if even a few mentioned her. And still she starts the Day with a staunch defence. And ends up making what looks most likely a retaliatory vote. It's not something I like coming from Mith. Still I'm very much hesitating whether it would be enough to lynch her.

-Whinin’ Eomer Bonny ~ Musician (Pur-loined Violin)
How come he's the "Whinin'" one when I do the whining now? But really his way of play is just outrageous. He's done nothing but banter (what three posts in two Days?) and voted Mira on both Days without any stated reason whatsoever. Purely calculting that no one would raise their eyebrows enough to call that behaviour forth thus letting him hibernate the first Days through with no challenge whatsoever? Well sorry Eomer, I would like to call that indeed! Sadly there are no "calls for bluff" as we don't learn the identities of the dead. But it makes me suspect him.

-High-Pitched Annu ~ Surgeon
New player around and should have the benefit of doubt for a Day or two. But she's clearly intelligent enough to follow the tides and to vote accordingly. Her way of trailing the common talking and voting the same way not rubbing anyone else the wrong way looks darn suspicious nevertheless. Maybe not toDay?

-Dancin' Mira Blythe ~ Striker
Day1, one banter-post. Day2 one banter + one listing of what Greenie said (already done by Nerwen) with little or nothing to add. If you talk of someone playing it low, here you have it. Soo careful not to upset anyone, not to be seen other than "a little helpful".

[wilwarin538]

ooh, just realised I forgot Lommy and Eomer in my list. Well I don't really have any thoughts on Lommy, but Eomer is indeed acting strangely, but really that's nothing new.

So I'm going back and forth between Rikae, Eonwe and Gwath, for reasons previously stated. I'm thinking I will go for Eonwe, he's very confusing (what Kath actually said about him in her list kinda explains what I had already been thinking), yet I really didn't like Gwath's vote either....hmmmm...

++Eonwe

I feel stronger towards him so I think I'll stick to that. Off to bed now. See you all Day 3, I have no plans so I should be around quite a bit.

X'ed with Gwath and Nog

[Rikae]

A quick thought - Eomer & Mira = mutineer-on-mutineer?

[Nogrod]

Btw. I was not thinking of hanging around to the DL toDay (or the later Days if it's not somehow absolutely necessary) as the DL is 7AM here and it's already coming 5AM (I'm on vacation to be sure but still).

So here be toDay's votes so far. I'll have a cigarette and try to decide on my vote.


Day2

Nerwen ++ Inziladun
Mith ++ Nogrod
Annu ++ Shasta
Rikae ++ Shasta 2
Kath ++ Annu
Eomer ++ Mira
Shasta ++ Rikae
wilwa ++ Eönwe

[Rikae]

--Shasta

++Mira

[Rikae]

Oh, great - I just realized Mira's dropping out. Now I wasted my vote. Brinn, if you're around, do Eomer and I get a chance to vote again? :rolleyes:

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Eomer still has his retraction, unless I'm missing something. Care to explain your own retraction, Rikae?

[Isabellkya]

Why do you think the two are baddies together?

[Brinniel]

Oh, great - I just realized Mira's dropping out. Now I wasted my vote. Brinn, if you're around, do Eomer and I get a chance to vote again?
Nope. I'm not modfiring Mira in the middle of the Day, so technically she still is in the game and you guys are welcome to lynch her all you want.

[Nogrod]

Okay.

If Mira is leaving, Annu is a newbie - and I hesitate with voting Mith or Shasta, it leaves me with

++ Eomer

I'll leave the computer open for a moment just to check before actually dropping out.


Day2

Nerwen ++ Inziladun
Mith ++ Nogrod
Annu ++ Shasta
Rikae ++ Shasta 2
Kath ++ Annu
Eomer ++ Mira
Shasta ++ Rikae
wilwa ++ Eönwe
Rikae – Shasta 1
Rikae ++ Mira 2
Nogrod ++ Eomer

[Nogrod]

Nope. I'm not modfiring Mira in the middle of the Day, so technically she still is in the game and you guys are welcome to lynch her all you want.But you are during the Night if she does not get lynched?

[Rikae]

Why possible wolf-on-wolf? The fact that Eomer was going after Mira in that way while Mira ignored it and behaved cautiously (as pointed out by Nog) looked wolf-on-wolfish to me.

It doesn''t seem likely an assassin would just drop out, though, so - wasted vote. :(

[Boromir88]

Oh, great - I just realized Mira's dropping out. Now I wasted my vote. Brinn, if you're around, do Eomer and I get a chance to vote again?~Rikae
Still it might be a good option to stay with Mira...based on the request to be mod-fired, it's likely she's innocent who's run into computer issues (although she could very well be a mutineer). We're apparently going to lose her anyway (and I'm assuming we'd get her role too...?), if we vote to lynch someone else, we run the risk of lynching an innocent (but of course concede the chance of getting a baddie), plus losing Mira. At this point, it might be good to keep the deaths down, and let the mutineers make their selection at night, which would presumably, with a successful kill, give us another innocent.

Slightly fishy votes also came from Kath, Wilwa, and, in fact, Boro.
Are you talking about my vote for Shasta, or my retract on Nogrod...or both?

Shasta usually votes for me on Day 1, when given the chance, I don't know if it's a signal that he's innocent (at least anytime he's randomly picked me on Day 1 he's been innocent) or he feels like making a safe vote, being fairly sure I won't be a Day 1 lynch and not wanting to make a bad choice early in the game...whatever it is you'll have to probably ask him.

Anyway, I voted for him, to send a message that I'm willing and ready to duel. I need someone to replace the amazing duels between Menel and myself, so call it a revenge vote, or what ever you want, it was to send a message the "bring it" message to Shasta. :p And that is why I am still very tempted to take up his offer of lynching him, although voting based on emotions and long rivalries tends to end up not so good. Sometimes, it works out, just ask Menel...:D

I have a dirty habit to want to mess with retractable votes...and usually I pick someone who is very loud, such as tp or Nogrod. And others, like Lommy and Agan, have picked up that when their are retractable, and I do make that type of early vote, it's guaranteed that a retract will come eventually. I will say I don't do it willy-nilly though, I have a reason...tp knows I'm testing him, I'm not sure if Nogrod does though...

Nogrod happened to fail the test with flying colors, which is why I said I'm debating on testing my theory that he's a mutineer. You might ask well if you think he's a mutineer, why are you debating? The bad news is, whether Nogrod is lynched or not, we won't know his role and thus my "test" really wouldn't tell me anything until I actually did find his role. The good news is, whether Nogrod is lynched or not, we won't know his role, but he will be a ghost and can still participate if he so chooses, and that can tell us more about him.

Does any of that make sense?

[Nogrod]

It doesn''t seem likely an assassin would just drop out, though, so - wasted vote. :(Yes. I think Brinn hadn't noticed you had retracted already...

Well, you others need to see we don't lynch Mira toDay as she will be dead anyway.

[Inziladun]

Well Me Hearties, I've finished me work n' now've had some time t' read over n' make some notes n' offer some thoughts.
I'm not wild abou' votin' Shasta. I've not seen wha' others are on abou' w' his jokin' aroun' n' sayin' double lychin' Greenie oughta be discussed, then defendin' hisself when called on it. Maybe a cobbler, mind, bu' I'm thinkin' too obvious t' be a baddie. He be votin' for Rikae, but maybe just out a' revenge.

Gwath's vote do be a throwaway, n' I think he's one t' watch, but I'm not certain if he ought t' walk th' plank t'day.

Kath be makin' a good list, and makin' some sense ('n not just cos I'm in her good books just now ;)) Th' Annu vote looks t' be solid.

Rikae indeed seemed t' be pushin' agin' Shasta mighty hard, 'n like I said I thought it w'out merit. Has calmed a bit since (only after some folks reacted to it?), bu' I'm still not easy abou' her.

Eomer really be worryin'. He voted Mira twice w' no real reason either time, 'n has mostly seemed t' be layin' low.

Annu is a bit puzzlin'. I know how newbies be c'n give th' wrong impressions while bein' innocent (from personal experience), but seems t' latch onta th' Shasta cause right quick.

Izzy be anoth'r puzzle. Not sure wha' t' think.

Wilwa be votin' Ëonwë. Not really explained, n' seemed a bit forced.

Back 'n a bit fer th' vote.

[Nerwen]

I be back, shipmates. I'll be speakin' to ye again when I ha' had time to pick up th' talk o' th' day.

[Brinniel]

But you are during the Night if she does not get lynched? Or not?
That's an issue I'm currently debating. I've always hated modfiring as its unfair to all the other players and I really hate to be so quick to modfire someone considering the circumstances why she cannot play (as I know how much it sucks to have computer issues), especially if she manages to regain computer access before the end of toMorrow (though unfortunately Nienna made it sound like that wasn't likely). She won't be modfired at the end of the Day, but at the end of the Night at the earliest. I might be willing her one more Day tops, and if she doesn't show up and vote after then, I'd definitely modfire her immediately following...though I haven't decided yet.

Well, you others need to see we don't lynch Mira toDay as she will be dead anyway.~Nogrod
I'm afraid it's not so clear cut sir. You be right, we are automatically losing Mira, and if we lynch someone different, that would really essentially like having a double lynch, a double lynch that could turn out disastrous.

Plus, Izzy showed, up but I would still like to know that she's here, because if she doesn't vote she be gone too.

I wonder if th' whole 'isterical womin thing - th' "intense" n' "over-the-top" tone folks seem t' read into me posts would 'ave been there if I''d orig'nally signed up t' th' 'downs pretendin' I was a fella. Just sayin'.

Because I really don't enjoy being accused of a tone I'm not using. That's all.

My last post crossed with Brinn...apparently it's not a done deal then?

In that case it might be even more beneficial to make Mira go ghostly. I mean we won't know her role, but if she's having computer issues, she won't be posting as a ghost anyway, we won't have to worry about her role anymore (even if it only is for an extra day), and we would spare our Cap'n from having to mod-fire someone. :D

I be seein' no reason t' waste a lynch on Mira. Tis pointless. It do appear th'a she be gone, either fer good or at least fer a day or two. Either way, we c'n afford t' wait n' see on her.

Okay. I saw this one when trying to leave the thread...

Still it might be a good option to stay with Mira...based on the request to be mod-fired, it's likely she's innocent who's run into computer issues (although she could very well be a mutineer). We're apparently going to lose her anyway (and I'm assuming we'd get her role too...?), if we vote to lynch someone else, we run the risk of lynching an innocent (but of course concede the chance of getting a baddie), plus losing Mira. At this point, it might be good to keep the deaths down, and let the mutineers make their selection at night, which would presumably, with a successful kill, give us another innocent.We run a risk of lynching an innocent everytime we lynch someone Boro! You should know that. But lynching is the only way to get rid of the baddies. So you say we lynch a possible innocent who - even if a mutineer - would die anyway? Huh-huh.

And hoping for a succesfull kill? They'll have enough of them during this game. And they will make their selections. Okay, you talk of the ratio between the lynched and the night- killed, right. Sadly of those lynched/killed we have no guarantee how much will they take part in the game after they're dead so I'm not too sure that idea is as good as you make it look like.

And the mutineer selections are always selections between non-mutineers while our lynches always have the mutineers at the stake as well!

And where did you get that assumption that Mira's role would be for some reason revealed if she was modfired? It would be against the mod-goddesses principal that deaths will not be revealed.

The good news is, whether Nogrod is lynched or not, we won't know his role, but he will be a ghost and can still participate if he so chooses, and that can tell us more about him.So let's lynch Nogrod? See what I said about the mutineers wishing to do at the previous page: some should be lynched to keep people insecure about their status? Didn't you Boro just say you'd like to let the mutineers do the choices, why you'd wish otherwise with me?

Does any of that make sense?Yes and no. If you're a mutineer or a cobbler that makes perfect sense and becoming quite daring... timing and all. If you're not you're loosing your grip .

But let's discuss that later (dead or alive). Now to bed at last.
