Aye then, it seems clear to me. When th' Captain meets Davy Jones, the First Mate gets the plunder, is the code of the seas. Now we've got a man with a motive and an opportunity. What more do ye need fer a verdict?

Yar. Loyalty be th' question here. What's the Cap'n done to deserve th' likes o' that? We has traitors in our midst. Them dogs be too treacherous even for pirates, says I. To th' sharks with th' lot o' em!

Arr. Never were there a more generous, beautiful, wild, free Cap'n as our Black Death Brinn, and for any lubber who thinks I had a hand 'n her trip to Davy Jones... bah, say I! Rubbish!

I must send me apologies, but I'll be in me cabin for a few hours yet ... apparently attempting to learn how to speak in pirate. All I seem to manage is vaguely west country! (RL: I'm out til 6.)

@#¤%&!! I should've ben Lommy the Language-Handcap'd, not Lommy the Infected, fer me pirate English sucks. I can only say YARR! but then again, that might be just enough. I'll be observin' ye others carefully 'n' copyin' yer style.

What else? I have no bloody stinking infected idea who the baddies are, but we're here to discover it, nay? So, lemme start with me notes: McCaber - awful quick t' lick Shasta's [insert a censorship worthy word here]. Inziladun - awful quick t' start throwing people off board. Nerwen - awful quick t' condemn Inzie. Shasta - awful quick t' defend himself. Kath - awful quick t' be off. Suspicious lot, eh? Oh, forgot one: Lommy - awful quick t' draw conclusions.

But speak, ye silent 'uns! Yer quartermaster commands ye to.

Be it quartermaster ye be orderin' to kiss th' gunner's daughter, ye swab? Ye'll keep a civil tongue in yer head when speakin' to yer betters, or I'll ha' it out wi' ye meself. I be still a fair hand wi' a dagger, even if me deadlights be not what they were.

Arr, this be a rum start. Who be Cap'n now? Be it Shark Tooth... or be it still Black Death? Be the head still livin'?

EDIT:X'd with Eomer.

First post Day 1. Nothing to really analyze here.

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.

Names sally, Izzy, Wilwa, and Gwath but without any real reason (that I can see, at least).

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
Gets a bad feeling about Shasta for going for the easy lynch.

Acts on her suspicions and votes Shasta.

Unfortunately, there's not usually a lot to go on on Day 1. So unless Shasta is actually a wolf and wanted revenge (doubtful), the aggressors were probably going for the traceless kill. Thus, it's doubtful that anyone named in any of Greenie's posts (sally, Izzy, Wilwa, Gwath, Shasta) is an evil one.

Arr, I named those scurvy dogs b'cos I hadn't been a-seein' them during th' Day an' wonder'd whar they might be. Nuthin' more spectacular than that.

Arr, it not be one person, it more be the collective that ar frustratin'. 'Tis hard enough to not know who we be lynchin' unless we decide to kill 'em twice, but when ye get 1/3 t' 1/2 o' the crew who be more silent than our 2 resident ghosts it gets difficult to do anythin'.

'Tis happens to be an off day fer me, an' I realize others are not unlucky, but is it t' much t' expect one rotten post o' suspects or thoughts about anythin'? I mean two-thirds o' th' day be gone already, an' thar be too many people who just haven't shown up. Day 1 be difficult to know what t' say, but this be getting slightly ridiculous.

Me be almost tempted to 'ote Izzy, as me believe we will lose her by the days end if she not 'ote today?

Now. onto thee McCaber lynchin' yesterday, an' I will be away until 2 hours or so 'fore the DL
