Shasta, that be treacherous talk. Arr, I see no point in double lynchin' anybody until doin' so is likely to give us some really useful information. We double lynch Greenie, and we're either rid o' a cobbler (who can't do much harm now anyway) but don't know anythin', or we have proved Nerwen's innocence, but later in th' game, a double lynch o' th' right person will probably benefit us a lot more. I thought ye were bein' framed by th' aggressors, but now I be havin' second thoughts. Arrr.

Arrgree Rikae, an' it really wouldn't prove Nerwen innocent...Greenie said she could be a co-conspie...I jus' think fer today I won't consider lynchin' Nerwen.

Well, I was just opinin' tha' if I were the Spy killed so early on, I'd likely ha' waited a bit afore I told folks about it. T' me it'd carry more weight later on. If yer don't agree, that's yer lookout.

It be on'y a main weak suspicion, mark, but he ha' said little an' yet be comin' across summat shifty. I ha' shipped wi' he afore this, an' he be a scurvy dog.

'Tis the best I can be doin' fer now. I be needin' to turn in to me berth, else I'll be too wearied wi' lack o' sleep to take a proper sighting. I'll be a-retractin' later if I be seein' the need.
Yar. Bringin' up me scurvy behaviour from long ago? As I recall, I had a helper or three back then. An I c'n think o' one here meself w' a shady past.
Right now I be tryin' to figure out what be goin' on between Mac n' Nogrod.
Boro I'm thinkin' innocent, as well as Gwath.
Rikae I be on th' fence about.
Th' One-Eyed Nerwen bears some watchin', but I'll not condemn her right now.

+ if we learnt Nerwen is an innocent she would be dead the next Night - or probably the next.

I said already in the morning that Shasta's joke looked fishy. And this will not help our First Mate look good.

Oh, I see some interesting things posted... Just a minute.

When I saw Greenie`s Spy claim, I instantly thought bluff. Lynchin` th` lass` again would solve th` mystery, but I dasn`t think `t such a wise decision.

I be here an` wadin` through th` Seafarin` hearty speak

Now me gunner-matey has finally freaked out! Now some alcohol, from anywhere, he's getting conspirational unless he gets boozed-up...

I mean you really can't pick up a pair of people out from thin air (Shasta and MCCaber in this instance) and say that because x voted for the one s/he was trying to help the other as her/his mate in crime - or that anyone who did not vote for your candidate is a mutineer. Please.

On a second note I must say that I think Lommy's explanation of her vote looked more innocent and believble than Inziladun's, but that probably is a matter of taste.

Of the others I'm at the moment very much inclined to lynch Shasta - if I'd have to vote right now he would be my choice. And if Mac continues with that mal-driven crusade of his I see no sense in, I might differ from my principle which states that I should not try to lynch anyone whom I consider really a valuable aid to our cause when the ranks grow thinner and the stakes get higher - unless there really is a case I can believe in. But Mac has been just impossible this far (and what was that play with the votes there in the end Mac?). I hope he gets to his senses sooner rather than later.

On a third note.

You're absolytely right that the mutineers can easily stick together and even help each other out because no-one's role will be known after they die. But that also means that they don't need to even maintain an image they would have suspected a fellow at some point of the game (to look better later when that one turns out a wolf).

It also means that the wolves can go for a full-frontal attack in the bright daylight against anyone they wish to remove as their treachery will never be found out. They just happened to be a few blokes voting for a certain person that Day.

Not knowing the roles of the dead makes this game so different and totally insane... And it looks like it renders every single Day a kind of Day1.

Oh you muddy misbehavin' gangstas, down-lying hidin' cowards and rapscallions! Isn't there pirate enough in you to speak! Oh you landlubbers and tenderfeet!

I'll speak no more until someone but us gunners shows guts to play this.

EDIT: X'd with wilwa... but that was not much I daresay...

I just want to make it clear that this post is in NO way related to Nog's little threat there. In fact I was rather inclined to not post on purpose just to annoy him. But no, here I am so I shall post.

Anyway, going to have a look at the votes for McCaber yesterDay because there was a bandwagon that seemed to come from nowhere! Then have a look at what's been going on toDay. Back in a bit.
