WWLXII: Dead Men Do Tell Tales

[Thinlómien]

This game's givin me more headache than me infection ever does - why dun ye mateys speak? 'Tis just all jolly ol' pirate talk and banterin 'round. Not good fer meh, 'tis already soon midnight here in me time zoney. (Th' deadline be 7am so dun expect me t' post anywhere neer it.)

Hey, 'tis me who's th' Infected 'un, not th' others!

An' is it just me and me non-existent skills in German, or does Rikae's translation seem a bit rot'n? Like, seems she invent'd a few o' "I'm a mutineer"s there, right-o?

Aye! Arr! I can only start blamin' those who've ben 'round but haven't started talkin seriously - which's half o' th' crew!

Just one more pointey fer ye t' consider - what abou' th' dead who do tell tales? Is there somethin special we have t' take into accountey considerin it? Well at least we have to be careful about th' dead talking 'cos they may be evil just as well as others and th' thing that's worryin me fer the moment is that we won' learn whether the guys we make walk the plank are evil or not so we're gonna be unable to draw any conclusions about stuff and we of course can't trust th' ghosts anymore than th' living - I tell ye, this is gonna be hard. Givin me headache, like I says already.

[Nogrod]

Agrees with the gunner's daughter... Kiss her!

Hah Boro mate, whassup?

You'd be the cobbler then (you wouldn't try that as innocent or as a baddie I think - surely not as an innocent)?

Fine and dandy. We'll see about it sooner or later.

But I do not like the votes this far, none of them. Early (?) in the Day and basically just banter behind us... and all that. Yes and agreed. But even voting at this time should be based on something that could be shared and discussed. Only Boro states a reason - even if it's a bit odd (c'mon, I don't understand German! Well, a few words but that's it).

Now we just have to face their votes, and let me bet none of those voters will be lynched toDay. So the safest possible option. Let me guess more: the one lynched toDay will be someone who has actually tried to do something and has been around also later this Day (or then we'll go for the submarines, but my trust for that happy decision is faint indeed).

Hah Boro mate, whassup?~Nogrod

Ye determined mightee fas' that I be the cobbler...quickly dismissin' the rest of th' choices. Whassup, with ye matey?

I'd say you were a lot faster - you also didn't just speculate but actually voted which is a bit more hasty; at least when it seems you were not in a hurry to get away not being able to come back any more... Hmm...

Thar be retractables, ye should know how me enjoy them. 'Tis a dirty habit of mine. Aye, if yer infected daughter be har she would say "Pirate Boro's 'ote won't stick." Ye be not aware o' 'tis by now?

[Kath]

So the deadline for me ... 5am! Yeah, I'll be voting early. Going to see if there is anything worth translating in this madness with which to form a vote.

[satansaloser2005]

Ahoy there, me mateys! To the depths with those of ye what killed the cap'n, and the rest of us shall celebrate ye death with rum and cake and rum and meat and rum and....and pies....and rum cakes....rum meat....and rum pies and....and some rum, because we best not be forgettin' the rum!

Never mind me absence so far t'day, I been makin' meself a new pair o' legs! Fine ones too, as ye all will see tomorro' when I finish them....if those traiterous, coward-hearted, yeasty codpieces don't carve them all up funny in th' night!

And belay all this funny talk. Let's get down t' some lynching, avenge th' capn's demise and make the next d'mise one d'yours! (See, I be a classy pirate and speak that pretty French tongue.....they be th' ones what thought of 'parley' ye know, and I won't be giving quarter to none of ye feckless ingrates what insults me fancy pirate tongue, so ye know in advance....)

Are ye sayin' that ye ain't a cobbler, but something that be more sinister? If that be th' case, then to th' locker with ye!

(And we best be remembering that there be two cobblers in this game, so mighty duels between two of our crew may be just two show-offs shooting wet powder!)

Good thing I ain't one of them no-good kinds then, ain't it, Bilge Rat Gwathie-poo? (And I think I may be walkin' the plank for that later, so if I be missing another limb come morn, ye all know who to blame)


I see th' landlubber Annu, the girly maggot, has been making holes in me -which is to say Cap'n Brinn's- ship with his fancy doctor tools, throwing them about an' th' like. I best be sanding the deck a bit so it'll be easier to clean up the blood after the end of th' Day's killin'.


(Okay, Sally with her legs here now. Wow, that's super fun! Anyway, I've a board meeting to attend in a few minutes so I'll be gone for several hours, but should be back plenty of time before deadline. If for some awful reason my internet doesn't work I'll at least drive down the street and try to pop off a vote before Nightfall. Love reading all your posts; they're hilarious!)


ETA: x'd with that pipe smoker....erm, player, Kath

[Eönwë]

I need t' go now, so I be votin':

++Rikae

She seems t' be actin' too helpful, an' she be drawin' te much attention te t'ranger, an' she be changin Mac's words. 'Tat last 'un could a joke but we have nuthin' else to go on (It be Day 1 an' we know nuthin' yet). An' even so, tere's t'other points.

It be gettin' late in me time zone, so I be gone now.

T' best food (When t' cake's na' mago'y, an' t' meat's good). Arr, mateys!


Well, we best be gettin' t'work 'ere.

I think tha' th' biggest problem'll be findin' ou' who's an aggressor when tey're dead. Tey can still mess wi' ye then, even if tey can't kill ye.

An' why ye be worryin' bout' t'avenger, Rikae? We don' wan' them t' reveal so early so we sh'd stop talkin' about tis afore t' aggressors find out sum'tin' useful.

[Eönwë]

People be confusin'. It be hard t' choose who t' vote.

edit: an' why be it so quiet?

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Nawt s'hard, given this 'un's co-consipiratorial tendencies. Arrr, Shark Tooth's had some good hard book larnin!

++Boromir

Don't rightly know whar that be comin' from. Vengeance fer what, I be wondrin'?

Aye. I'm gunna give it a bit more time t' see who else be givin' their thoughts, n' t' look over what's been said.
Kath's list be lookin' sensible, I'm thinkin'.

[Eönwë]

Arr! A final post. I be writin' a list if I still be livin' tomorrow.

[Boromir88]

It may seem bleak t' not know the true identity o' those we do sink t'Davy Jone's locker. but, remember the warwol'es be in the same boat. They be not knowin' who they sink, unless they go after the person a second time. That means we have a known innocent, who can't 'ote, but can still cause trouble for the wol'es. If ye be killed, yer duty is not done, attempt t' ruffle th' wol'es fur as much as possible. Ha'ing a wolf kill ali'e an' talkin' th' next day will be 'ery useful, an' we should use that knowledge t' our ad'antage, aye.

Arr! Me could ha'e ne'er seen Shasta's 'ote coming!

I'm going to vote:

++EONWE

For being Captain Obvious. There were a couple of others who were making the same old points but his seemed particularly pithy.

No 'ard feelins to me pal Eonwe, but I've been noticin' in past games that he mostly tends to repeat what his mates 'ave already been sayin'. It don't matter much whether he be sound or rotten, he surely wears his Captain Obvious hat and sails in his Captain Obvious ship.

I know ye ain't askin' my opinion, mate, but the way I figure it, Rikae is mostly tryin' to get things movin'. Stir the kettle and make the scum rise to the top, if ye catch me drift. I wouldn't take her vote too hard, bucko. And that there vengeance of which she be speakin' so glibly is (this pirate assumes) vengeance for our captain's death. Ye'd best be speakin' up and correctin' the error of me ways, Rikae, if I've got the wrong idea.

Oh, aye, Boro. And what'll be even greater fun will be trying to sift between more 'n one gifted reveal - when it comes to such things. About as much fun as a cat o' nine tails, arr, and by which I mean none at all. It will right hard to guess which bucko be tellin' the truth without we be wastin' a day by killin' 'em a second time.
