*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.


x-ed wi' th' fashionably late

[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.)

Yer all me shipmates, remember.

Hey, 'tis me who's th' Infected 'un, not th' others!

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?

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.

[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?

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...

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?

[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.

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!

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

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!

[Boromir88]

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.

[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. 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.

Why thanke' o ye Infected 'un. 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'!

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

refrained.... to the best of my knowledge I have never been frained in my life..is this some painful nautical thing like having one's bottom caulked?

[Mithalwen]

OK ye silent ones I must vote in 5 minutes or be modfired..:S

If ye ha'e a tough time with pickin' randomly in the dark, just vote me out. Please, it would spare me 'tis misery.

Edit: well...guess I be too late

[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!

[Shastanis Althreduin]

An' he keeps 'em pearly white, Mac.

X'd with... rather a lot.

[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.
