Our crew has gotten large enough that we have need fer a second cook. Jolly thin' we have Short Ruth Mith comin' on aboard our ship. I hear she be known to make a mean salmagundi.

Thar be still room fer more hands on th' Grey Gaurhoth. We cannot set sail 'til thar be at least one carpenter enlisted (though a pair or more would be even better). After all, carpenter be one 'o th' most important 'o occupations. I cannot let me ship fall into disrepair. I could also still use more strikers. Wee use be a pair 'o cooks if thar be only one scurvy dog doin' th' huntin'.

Thar be spaces left fer more gunners 'n powder monkeys as well, though I prefer to have some hands sign up fer carpenter 'n striker first. We have plenty 'o musicians, so I gunna take no more fer th' time bein', unless someone can impress me wit' a jolly audition.

Cap'n Brinn, if ye be needin' a carp'nt'r I could always use to be makin' meself a pair of legs!

Inziladun · 06-10-2009, 03:27 PM

A question about the ghosts: Will posts by them after they've passed on be somehow specially marked or notated, or is it just up to the living to try and remember who's dead?

After each phase, I gunna post a list 'o th' livin' 'n th' ghosted. 'Tis up to ye to refer back to it 'n keep track 'o who's alive 'n not, though I ain't imagine it'd be too difficult. But if ye all disagree 'n be worried 'bout keepin' track, then I can come up wit' somethin' else.

Inziladun · 06-10-2009, 08:54 PM

Cap'n, I be thinkin' yer plan good enough. Ye run a tight ship, so ye do.

Mithalwen · 06-11-2009, 08:24 AM

When is this starting? any ideas ..?

wilwarin538 · 06-11-2009, 09:57 AM

Perhaps when the dead post they can post in all italics?

.

Salma Gundy? Isn't that the actress who played Frieda Kahlo?

I was thinking more of rat yesterday, rat today and it looks like rat tomorrow

lots of grog though

Isabellkya · 06-10-2009, 02:31 PM

Whups. Didn't see that.

I'm all for hunting and gathering. Striker please. xD

satansaloser2005 · 06-14-2009, 10:12 PM

Thought it only right to point this out. I had to edit my more or less last post (the longer one where I listed everyone) to add in formatting and such and I realized that somehow there was nothing under Mac's name, so I put my thoughts in, or back in, or whatever the case was. I wanted to make sure to mention it because I edited the post and wanted to make sure everyone knew that was now there, just to be fair in case you missed it. Just an FYI.

K, shutting up now. G'night, folks!

Thinlómien · 06-15-2009, 04:21 AM

Hey ye mateys, I've come to realise I won be 'roun fer Day2 at all due t' celebratin a friend's bir'day. Bu' me be back fresh and maggo'y on Day3... so see ye all soon!

Brinniel · 06-15-2009, 10:47 PM

Note that the rules state that you can choose not to vote for two Days or more, but not voting two Days in a row will result in modfire. So the following need to be sure to vote toDay:

Nerwen
Gwathagor
Mirandir
Isabellkya
Mithalwen

I can give exceptions to anyone who has a good reason why they are not able to vote.

Nienna · 06-16-2009, 04:54 PM

Mira wanted me to let everyone know that her computer died so she won't be able to post toDay and she doesn't know when her computer will be fixed.

Brinn you have her permission to modfire her.

Brinniel · 06-16-2009, 09:43 PM

Okay, I said I'd make a final decision about whether or not to mod-fire Mira immediately at the deadline, but I've already come up with my decision and I'm too tired to wait to post.

Since it sounds like Mira won't be returning soon and she did give permission, I will mod-fire her at the end of the next Night phase if she is not killed first. This will give her another 24 hours to PM me if she still wants/can be in the game.

The same will apply to any other player who fails to vote two Days in a row. The mod-fire rule is set in place for a reason, but I do think it's fair to give the opportunity for a player to give me a good reason why they couldn't vote and make a final plea to stay alive. Also remember, the results of a mod-fire will be the same as any other death.

Note: Sally texted me to say she might not be able to vote before deadline due to a dead internet, just so you know.

satansaloser2005 · 06-17-2009, 09:09 PM

Hey there's a big storm brewing here so if I'm not here for the beginning of the Day it's because of that. Just to let you all know.

Brinniel · 06-17-2009, 10:15 PM

Just letting everyone know that the Night's narration is up and I've also added yesterDay's narration. Hopefully it's not too awful; today was another exhausting one, so I'm still very tired and can't exactly think straight. The end of yesterDay was just sort of a blur. But hopefully I should soon be in better shape to narrate as I have the day off tomorrow (yay). Now off to sleep!

Nogrod · 06-18-2009, 03:47 AM

I'm off to our summer-cottage for midsummer festivities - and much earlier I anticipated. My sister's husband (who has the car) gets off from work a lot earlier than planned so my Day3 will end about now (I'll go and vote first).

I will be off for the entire Day4 but will be back for Day5.

Brinniel · 06-19-2009, 12:42 AM

Ehm, guys remember this is just a game, so don't let things get too heated. The whole purpose of this is to have fun, and getting too worked up will only result in hurt feelings and ruin the game for everyone else.

So please keep in check what you say and not let it get personal. Any issues or hurt feelings should be resolved through PM. I'm too tired to deal with any unnecessary problems and I just want this to be a good experience for everyone. I'm sure other players will agree.

Thinlómien · 06-19-2009, 09:33 AM

Rikae, please don't leave - you know everybody gets heated here from time to time and people don't tend to deliberately insult anyone. It would be shame if you dropped out because I really enjoy playing with you.
