WWLXII: Dead Men Do Tell Tales

[Rikae]

I don't see why ye be so quick t' believe our dearly depa'ted powder monkey's revelation. Tho' it be possible t' aggressors got so lucky on Night 2, th' odds be in favor o' her bein' a co-conspirator, an' her sayin' she'd a' revealed later proves nothin'. I don' quite trust those what accepted tha' explanation so easily. At least I be sure o' this: ef'n I war a co-conspirator what found meself dead on Day 2, I would be a-claimin' t' be th' spy right off th' bat too, 'xactly like Greenie ha' done. Oh well. Either way, I'll wager we'll see more seer reveals down th' line, an' we can sort this thing out then.

What worries me now, tho', are th' reactions t' th' drunk - p'ticklarly Eonwe n' Inziladun's, because o' t' way they latch onto th' idea o' a co-conspirator (ef I be readin' them right) revealin' later - plus, I didn't much like their contributions o' yesterday, either. Zil jus' gave me a bad feelin' (I'll hafta go back n' try t' pin down why), and Eonwe's reaction t' my hunter comment was mighty p'culiar. Yes, Nerwie, Eonwe was right: I were speakin' o' th' hunter, although I wasn't exactly right - if th' hunter makes a kill, we'll know more, but still ha' no exact knowledge. I'm not goin' into th' specifics, lest I be given ideas t' th' mutinous dogs.

Nogrod seems a bit confused, but more or less like hiis innocent self. Shasta, I think, is bein' set up, an' therefore no aggressor. Mac seems ok so far. Sally seems a bit off. I'm gonna hafta look n' see ef thar be anythin' in Nerwen's posts that might have a cobbler-Green thinkin' she be evil. McGhostie don't look intirely kosher. If I be leavin' yer name out, it be 'cuz ye haven' made much o' an impression. More later.

Be there any other alcoholic b'vridges on this here tub? Whiskey, ale, anythin'?

EDIT: X'd w' Boro, Gwath, Boro

Regardin' that there first part, I think I be agreein' with ye. No sense in acceptin' the ghost's claim all of just yet, particularly since she hasn't any special information to share.

I reckon we could make vodka with the potato supply.

Aye, but ye mark, I know she be right 'bout me. An' it seems to me that a dead co-conspirator would be tryin' main hard to lynch some-un as she reckoned were innocent, or else a claimin' that some-un as she reckoned were a mutineer were clean. An' I be thinkin' I ain't done much to look like one o' them scurvy bilge rats.

Arr, ye be wise beyond yer years, young Puffy Shift. 'Tis what I'd do meself.

Aye, I be trusting them two just as far as I can see 'em (which ain't too far).

Yes, Nerwie, Eonwe was right: I were speakin' o' th' hunter, although I wasn't exactly right - if th' hunter makes a kill, we'll know more, but still ha' no exact knowledge. I'm not goin' into th' specifics, lest I be given ideas t' th' mutinous dogs.

Now I be gettin' yer drift. But if th 'venger makes a kill, we'll have two new sperrits, an' nowt to show which on 'em be the mutineer an' which the real venger.

[Rikae]

Far's I kin tell, ef thar be two claimin' t' be h' 'venger, we know one o' th' two be evil, an' if only one claim it, we know that one be he (tho th' other can be anything).

Tho th' drunk may be tellin' th' truth, I'm hopin' she ain't an' our spy is still among us. If Nerwen be guilty, th' 'vengers know Greenie be false, n' so may be quick t' support her. If Nerwen be innocent, Greenie can still be a conspirator. Either way, though, Boro, I'm not advocatin' lynchin' either o' th' two t'day. I'm jus' lookin' fer patterns in t' way people be reactin' t' 'em. Th' patterns 'r all we have t' go on.

Arr, it be that kind o' 'venger! I were forgettin' an' thinkin' it be t'other kind, that on'y kills when 'tis a villain he's picked.

EDIT:X'd wi' Short Ruth.

[Nerwen]

Well, me hearties, I be havin' to vote now.

++Gangrenous Inziladun Jones

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.

I be considerin' votin' Shark Tooth, but seems likely the mutineers would ha' known about the spy not gettin' to work 'fore Night Two. So there be no' so much against him.

EDIT:X'd wi' the Cabin Boy.

[Rikae]

I've been lookin' over Nerwen's posts o' yesterDay, an' thar be some mighty fine pirate speech, a lot o' banter, an' what looks like some careful stirrin' o' th' pot w' regards t' my hunter-talk an' Mac Sparrow's so-called confession. Actually, it don't look altogether innocent, now that I look at it again - 'specially askin' if Mac be confessin', wit' no futher comment. I cud see it attractin' th' spy's attention, but it also migh've caught th' eye o' a clever cobbler as well.

EDIT: Oh jeez - that was my long-awaited 2000th post. *facepalm*

[Annunfuiniel]

Poorrr Lil drunken Greenie, may ye find a place wher' thar be nere lack o' rum!

But might thar be someone needin' some teeth pulled or boils drained? Me han's be idle an' nay likin' it...

Seriously tho', I be 'round an' readin', but that may be everythin' I be havin' time an' strength fer now... Thus far those who's actions be pleasin' me eye be th' visually impair'd Nerwen (nay 100% sure 'bout this but nothin' against 'er right now) an' Legless Sally (she be needin' me help with 'er legs, ye know). Sum' 'ave been to quiet to me likin' an' ot'ers seem plain foul... But no time fer further talk now.

EDIT: x-ed with 'em all.....
