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.

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

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...

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*

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? Quote:

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
