'Bout time we get some passion an' fire on 'tis ship!

Okay Boro, now I see where you come with this Shasta / McCaber choice. Even if I still think you were a bit too fast there... (hah, me telling you to cool down with conspiracies and trying to stay level-headed! ).~Nogrod

Thar be interestin'...me bein' a little careful, or a whacky conspiracy theorist? Thar seems t' be a bit o' a contradiction thar.

Fo' the record, I be more in accordance with Rikae...me bein' a little careful. That be mostly because I am not sure just what theory I want t' test.

Do I go with a feelin' that Nogrod be a mutineer? That 'e been playin' sneaky, by attemptin' to discourage votin' for McCaber, but still shootin' him in th' back. Although if I be wrong, we lose a mate who I know will participate an' 'ote.

Perhaps Nogrod, ye can share why ye think Inziladun's vote looks more suspicious than Lommy's?...I mean more than simply sayin' ye disagree.

Then we 'ave Kath saying Rikae is twistin' Shasta's words. Rikae sayin' Shasta's twistin' her words, and Shasta sayin' Rikae is twistin' his words. Thar be a lot of word twistin' an' I wonder about testin' whether Rikae be a co-conspirator(Kath seems to be more logical...or mehbe that's just becuz she be honey-talkin' me). Or I wonder if all the piratifyin' be the cause of all th' word twistin'?

But then Rikae actually has been makin' more sense after the Shasta duel...I mean I wonder 'bout testin' whether we 'ave non-confrontational mutineers...people stayin' out o' the scruffles, such as Gwath, Eomer, Mira, sally, Dun, Izzy an' Mac. (Mac more today than yesterday, he be more fiery yesterday). But since Izzy's here, postin' an' askin questions, I feel good about her now.

Mith's been silent, but she be on Nogrod, so I wouldn't count her non-confrontational.

An' seein' as Eonwe's been out here and answerin' some of his questionable statements, I must disagree with whoever it was that said he be captain obvious.

Then I wonder if I want to test Shasta's challenge to lynch him...hmm that be a mighty temptin' offer, I don't know if ye want to throw me that rope first mate.

Boromir88 · 06-16-2009, 07:06 PM

Oh an' Rikae ye asked about Lommy. Ye can check the Cap'ns log, she said she would not be here at all today, she be busy elsewhere all day.

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-16-2009, 07:11 PM

Just to be clear; I think Rikae's evil and possibly Annun as well.

++Rikae

He be less tired yesterday, and, since people (other than Mith, I guess) keep on dissuading me from Nogrod, less clueless.

Okay. It looked more sincere... well the way she thinks and posts in general. Well, she just is like that. You remember the famous "Lommy flip-flop"? She goes this way then that way... looking at it from all angles - and taking personal motives into account.

With Inziladun I think it was easier, possibly more calculative... But anyway quite safe-looking thing: just refer to a few points others have made and then say it's weak but better than nothing. I don't like that kind of votes - hiding behind the backs of others and making it clear you're not wholeheartedly sticking to it.

So Lommy looked more sincere, Inziladun less.

That isn't to say Lommy couldn't be the mutineer...

Macalaure · 06-16-2009, 07:34 PM

After looking at the voting again:

With toDay's vote in mind, too: Does anyone have an idea what Eomer is up to?

Lommy's vote is too careful for my taste. I'm with Boro: I'm ok with Inzy's.

Nog's behavior is a chapter of its own, but I won't open it toDay.

Slightly fishy votes also came from Kath, Wilwa, and, in fact, Boro.

I don't find Gwath's vote suspicious. Looks like a simple case of last minute panic to me.

wilwarin538 · 06-16-2009, 07:53 PM

ooh, just realised I forgot Lommy and Eomer in my list. Well I don't really have any thoughts on Lommy, but Eomer is indeed acting strangely, but really that's nothing new.

So I'm going back and forth between Rikae, Eonwe and Gwath, for reasons previously stated. I'm thinking I will go for Eonwe, he's very confusing (what Kath actually said about him in her list kinda explains what I had already been thinking), yet I really didn't like Gwath's vote either....hmmmm...

++Eonwe

I feel stronger towards him so I think I'll stick to that. Off to bed now. See you all Day 3, I have no plans so I should be around quite a bit.

X'ed with Gwath and Nog

Nogrod · 06-16-2009, 07:59 PM

Btw. I was not thinking of hanging around to the DL toDay (or the later Days if it's not somehow absolutely necessary) as the DL is 7AM here and it's already coming 5AM (I'm on vacation to be sure but still).

So here be toDay's votes so far. I'll have a cigarette and try to decide on my vote.

Day2

Nerwen ++ Inziladun
Mith ++ Nogrod
Annu ++ Shasta
Rikae ++ Shasta 2
Kath ++ Annu
Eomer ++ Mira
Shasta ++ Rikae
wilwa ++ Eönwe

Rikae · 06-16-2009, 08:02 PM

--Shasta

++Mira

Rikae · 06-16-2009, 08:10 PM

Oh, great - I just realized Mira's dropping out. Now I wasted my vote. Brinn, if you're around, do Eomer and I get a chance to vote again?

Nogrod · 06-16-2009, 07:51 PM

Here be my list of people I trust less than you others (which isn't much either).

-Shark Tooth Shasta ~ First mate
I still have my bad feelings about him but at the same time I agree that his defence was not too agressive as some people say when trying to point at someone being lupine - but actually quite good (it oft'times sounded pretty genuinely enraged indeed). So he's possibly my least favourite lynchee toDay from this group.

-Short Ruth Mithril ~ Cook
There's something in her defensiveness that goes over the top. I mean there were no votes, no serious challenges on her, no outspoken suspicions that would go over the "I have bad vibes from her" -level, she was no talk of the Day on either Days... good if even a few mentioned her. And still she starts the Day with a staunch defence. And ends up making what looks most likely a retaliatory vote. It's not something I like coming from Mith. Still I'm very much hesitating whether it would be enough to lynch her.

-Whinin’ Eomer Bonny ~ Musician (Pur-loined Violin)
How come he's the "Whinin'" one when I do the whining now? But really his way of play is just outrageous. He's done nothing but banter (what three posts in two Days?) and voted Mira on both Days without any stated reason whatsoever. Purely calculting that no one would raise their eyebrows enough to call that behaviour forth thus letting him hibernate the first Days through with no challenge whatsoever? Well sorry Eomer, I would like to call that indeed! Sadly there are no "calls for bluff" as we don't learn the identities of the dead. But it makes me suspect him.

-High-Pitched Annu ~ Surgeon
New player around and should have the benefit of doubt for a Day or two. But she's clearly intelligent enough to follow the tides and to vote accordingly. Her way of trailing the common talking and voting the same way not rubbing anyone else the wrong way looks darn suspicious nevertheless. Maybe not toDay?

-Dancin' Mira Blythe ~ Striker
Day1, one banter-post. Day2 one banter + one listing of what Greenie said (already done by Nerwen) with little or nothing to add. If you talk of someone playing it low, here you have it. Soo careful not to upset anyone, not to be seen other than "a little helpful".

Rikae · 06-16-2009, 07:56 PM

A quick thought - Eomer & Mira = mutineer-on-mutineer?

I be thinkin' that maybe one of the pirates involved in the quarrel could be a mutineer tryin' to sow dissension among the crew. Tryin' to play it up, add fuel to the fire, you know. Which one is anybody's guess though.
