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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
