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

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*

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.

Nogrod · 06-14-2009, 07:02 PM

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...

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 · 06-14-2009, 07:21 PM

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.

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?

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.

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

wilwarin538 · 06-14-2009, 07:55 PM

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:

Day 2 participation will be far better.

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.

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
