I think it is shameful to talk so openly about what acts you and your loved one does in the privacy of your home.

The key to proper innuendo is to make it disturbing, but in such a way that only the most creative mind still has any clue as to what you're saying, while you're still not actually saying anything at all.

Night 4
Four sailors aboard the Presence woke up. Looking around, they nodded to each other, and slowly made their way above decks. They had had quite enough the conditions on the ship, and they were going to make things right. They walked outside, greeted by a fierce gust of wind and driving rain, the kind of storm that only a long voyage at sea could truly prepare you for. After a momentary adjustment period, the four of them drew their cutlasses in unison. The sound of the swords being unsheathed could barely be heard over the rain and the wind and the thunder. It was better that way. Their target was probably expecting something like this, but even the smallest element of surprise could be enough to enough to turn the tide their way.
And as the Presence rocked and swayed in the ocean, the four vigilantes made their way to the Captain's cabin, where Askthepizzaguy would face pirate justice.
Below decks, another sailor was roused from his sleep. This was done rather forcibly, as at one instant he was dreaming of bliss and peace, and at the next instant was being literally dragged across the room, a foreign hand clamped firmly over his mouth. It went like this until they were up the stairs and above deck, at which point it was useless to scream. The sailor and his kidnapper both realized that the wind would capture any cry for help.
Instead, the kidnapper silently dragged the sailor closer and closer to the ship's edge, the plank looming ever closer. The sailor looked at the kidnapper questioningly, and then fell back in surprise as he took a boot to the chest. Losing his balance on an already unstable boat, the sailor dropped, the only thing keeping him from being lost at sea forever was his arm lock around the thankfully-sturdy plank. The kidnapper only stared at this sight for a while before finally grinning.
Abandoning all thoughts of logic, the sailor started screaming, uncaring for the futility of the act. This only seemed to amuse the kidnapper more. The screaming went on for a while, and little by little the sailor was starting to lose his grip on the slippery plank. Finally, the kidnapper seemed to have enough and finally leaned down, speaking loudly and clearly.
"Would you like to get out of this situation?"
The sailor nodded vigorously.
"Would you do anything to get out of it?"
The sailor nodded again. He didn't care. He had paid his debt, swabbed the decks more times than he cared to count. He was a good man, had done his part in Charleston and numerous missions before that. He didn't deserve to be another one of the countless men who had simply disappeared at night, claimed by the angry sea.
"Would you accept an offer by the Crown in order to reclaim the valuables of Charleston in exchange for your freedom?"
The sailor nodded once again, his horizons quickly adjusted. The kidnapper finally extended a hand and pulled up his new accomplice. The sailor walked with him back below deck, chatting business. He had helped pull off the steal of the decade from Charleston; he would now work to give it all back.
The vigilante crew on Askthepizzaguy had arrived at the doors to the Captain's cabin. Unlike Beefy187 of the night before, the didn't bother wasting time by knocking. Instead, one man kicked the door in, and they rushed into the cabin, not taking any time to admire the luxuries the officers enjoyed. Instead, they searched for their target.
Pizzaguy did not disappoint, walking out of his quarters, fully-dressed and armed for battle with his officer's sword.
"Hello, gentlemen," he said tonelessly. "I've been expecting you."
"You die tonight, Quartermaster," one of them responded. "We be havin' just about enough the way this ship be run, and we'd be likin' to make some changes 'round here. First demand: You, dead."
"Consider the complaint noted," Pizzaguy replied. "I be referrin' it to me staff. Expect an answer from them right about... now," he said, and several more figures rushed out from behind another door, their cutlasses raised. The vigilante group, a bit taken aback, charged forward, and the battle was on.
Back outside the Captain's quarters, in the cold and wet nightmare that was the storm, flashes of lightning illuminated a large problem for scottishranger. No matter where he was on the ship, he could always see four figures with cutlasses, always approaching, always drawing closer. As the endless night wore on and scottish kept trying to outmaneuver his pursuers, he gradually became more and more paranoid, eventually having several brushes with insanity itself.
At first, he wondered why his pursuers were going after him. Then, after accepting that they *were* coming after him and realizing that he probably shouldn't question why and instead focus on survival, he wondered why they never seemed to tire. He wondered why they weren't being affected by this hellish weather. Then, he wondered if they could even feel the rain, the heavy swaying of the ship. He started to wonder if his pursuers were even human at all, or simply beings from another plane come to take him early.
"OH, GOD!" he cried out, his scream lost to the wind. "It's the Four Horsemen! They've come for me! It's just as they prophesied! The Seventh Seal! Revelation! Pestilence! War! Famine! Death! O, Discordia! The end times have come! A crew we were as living, and so a crew we shall be when dead! Ah, rue it, for the End Times are here!" He babbled along like that incoherently for a while, forgetting about all means of escape from the "Horsemen". Eventually, one of them put him out of his misery by beheading the knelt scottishranger as they simply walked by, much as a mounted man with a scythe might do.
In the Captain's Quarters, a fierce battle was taking place, which was quite loud and shredded lots of furniture and putting lots of slash marks in the wooden walls. Askthepizzaguy, despite having a protection group looking out for him and being the sole target of his attackers, was very much in the fray.
Despite Pizzaguy's presence, though, the outcome of the battle was very much in the air. The combatants were so evenly matched that it looked like it was coming down to whoever would tire first. Finally, however, one of the members of Pizzaguy's bodyguards took another one aside and hissed in his ear, "the table, matey! Drop it down and use it as a barricade!" The two men did so, attacking the vigilante group's legs and throwing them off balance.
Little by little, thanks to the table's protection, the vigilante group was being forced back. They all started attacking even fiercer, but it was just not to be. Momentum was not on their side, and eventually they found themselves back in the deluge, helplessly banging on the now-reinforced door. After about five minutes of this, they decided to call it quits and trudged back below deck.
Not one of them saw Andres get grabbed from behind and dragged off to the side.
DisgruntledGoat couldn't sleep. He was always a light sleeper, and in a storm of this magnitude, forget it. He had long learned to make do with it. Most of the time, it involved heavy amounts of rum. Another Presence crewman was keeping him company, the two of them looking out at the storm and whistling in amazement.
"Y'know," the second sailor said to Goat, "they say they had a storm like this at Port Royal the night before the earthquake." Goat only looked at him quizzically.
"Arr, ye don't know about the earthquake?" the second sailor said, with almost an indignant expression on his face. "What's this world comin' to, when somebody in our business doesn't know about the earthquake or the town it hit? I be gettin' too old for this, methinks."
"No no, go on," Goat said. "I be wantin' to hear about this."
"Very well," said the second sailor. "Basically, Port Royal was the Nassau of a generation or two ago, only a lot more so. Founded by the Spanish, taken by the English, it relied on privateers for its defense. Back then, the Crown said Spanish ships were fair game, so business was boomin' and as a result Port Royal thrived. Those lucky scallywags did everything they did and more, and they even had the protection of the bleedin' English! Those were the days," the second sailor sighed, trailing off for a moment before resuming.
"Anyway, Port Royal was the home base of the great pirate Morgan, who led many-a-raid on the Spanish, all from Port Royal. And Port Royal continued to grow, serving our particular clientele. At one point, 'twas the second largest English city in the New World. Eventually, though, times changed. The Crown made nice with Spain and cracked down. Morgan was installed as Lieutenant Governor of Port Royal and later Governor itself, if memory serves. He pretty much tried to put a stop to the piracy, and while he was somewhat successful he could never quite clamp it down entirely. Eventually he died, and still the trade the city did flourished. I be rememberin' one learned man back on the ship a few summers back, readin' somebody describin' Port Royal as 'a modern-day Sodom'. It was just askin' for a smitin', everybody knew it, even us folk.
"Eventually, it came. Giant, nasty earthquake, sank darn near half the city. Legend has it it uncovered Morgan's coffin and the newly-sloped ground took it right into the sea, as if it had decided to initiate this entire devastatin' act just to rightfully reclaim one of its greatest conquerors. But first, there was the storm. Beautiful time o'year, late spring, early summer, just like this. And then the temperature just drops. The rain comes, and so does the wind. God's opening act, some said. An early warning to those still religious enough to heed the signs." He tailed off for another moment before finally snapping back into it.
"The most interesting part though, is just how everything... sank. When the sea is hungry, me lad, it will be fed. And right now... the sea be hungry," he finished, ripping a hole in DisgruntledGoat's chest with his cutlass and tossing him overboard.
Andres, meanwhile, was trying to break away from the grip of the man who had snatched him away from his group. The rain in this case was a double-edged sword; he was able to break free, but always slipped and fell when he tried to run away.
"Curse this weather!" he cried aloud. It seemed like the wind would take this one as well, but his kidnapper seemed to hear it. Andres could see an unearthly glow in this man's eyes, his yellow, remaining teeth grinning eerily.
A flash of lightning illuminated even more features about this man, Andres noticed. Most striking out of all of them was a blunderbuss, pointed directly at him. The sheer absurdity and shock of it all overwhelmed Andres, who began to cackle.
"What? You really expect that thing to work?" Andres burst out between bouts of hysterical laughter.
The figure said nothing, only drawing closer.
"Be... be ye kiddin' me?" he said, the laughter a bit more nervous this time.
The figure said nothing.
"Come on!" he finally shouted, ready to finally crack from all the pressure he had been under the past few days. "The Almighty Himself be takin' a shower right now in this! No way that thing can stand up and still work!"
Finally, the figure spoke. "Bess?" he said gruffly. "Bess don't care 'bout gettin' wet." He then pulled the trigger, and Bess's mouth erupted in a brief flash of fire.
The last thing Andres noticed before he died, his blood being quickly washed away by the rain, was how much Bess's nozzle, smoking afterwards, reminded him of a woman enjoying some tobacco after finishing the physical act of love.
The sun finally rose, and with it the rain tailed off. It didn't leave entirely, as a light and steady drizzle would fall throughout the entire day, but it was enough to make the sailors feel human again. Mother Nature had claimed most of the crew's work over the night, but the remaining days and the roll call told Captain Crazed Rabbit all he needed to know. In addition, his quarters were also trashed. It seemed like the only part of the Presence that was in good condition was, well... the Presence itself.
Halfheartedly, almost zombie-like, Captain Rabbit walked the crew through the process as usual. This would be a quiet day for everyone after the apocalyptic storm of the previous night. As a matter of fact, it was only halfway through the voting that he remembered to tell the crew the results of the crew that had earlier.
"Well lads," he said, we be makin' progress. atheotes and woad&fangs were good honest sailors, but gibsonsg91921 was a dirty rotten traitor who meant to steal all our treasure and make off with it to the Maven. If nothin' else encourages ye, at least hang on to that.

That looks to me like a First Officer kill. So, I believe the person you want to be upset with is Louis. Nice that we've now had two officer-led townie deaths in a row. I no longer have faith in the leadership of this ship. I suggest that we townies work to find the scum without them, for they are clearly more concerned with their own power than with accomplishing the actual objective.
Louis, did you kill me?
And didn't we have another kill by a solo killer? Was that you as well, Louis?

Pizza - four men vig group
Scottishranger - four men vig group
DisgruntledGoat - The 'Pirate Tale' serial killer. Same one who killed Tratorix, I presume
Andres - another lone killer. (No, it wusn't me)
One English convert made. That makes five English now.
It seems perfectly obvious that the English have infiltrated the vig groups. Despite their manpower, the English didn't kill. And why should they, when it is made so very easy for them to hide in a vig group?
Also, the vig groups attacked two pro-town players. This could indicate that the ringleaders of the vig groups could be English.
For two days now, none of the people involved in vig groups have come forward. Stepping forward is crucial to the town to find the English. If the killers are serious about vigging for the town, then they can help the town by giving their names. This will immediately embarras their English infiltrators.
Guilty as charged! Heehee
Do you know who killed you? There wasn't anything that suspicious (Apart from your comment about Crazed Rabbit, but even Andres was more vocal about mutiny then you) that you said.

So:
Pizza +4
Scot +4
DG +1
Andres +1
"convert" +1
equals 16 players active last night. Which equals over 20 other players either Protecting or Sleeping.
I + 2 were Protecting. What were the other 20 of ya scruvvy dogs doin' ?

I've a fair idea who was in the group that pointlessly attacked me. What I'm curious about is the group that attacked scottishranger; who did it and why? I have no idea if scottishranger was just an inactive seaman as he claimed to be, or if he was something more sinister, and we won't know until the report comes out. Someone should trust either the Captain, First Mate, or myself enough to reveal who is doing this action and why.
I'd also be interested in what Subotan is up to, but he's not talking to me. :beam:

Could it be that one of those who was in the protection group on ATPG was my killer?
ATPG had a 50 % chance of surviving the attack by himself, right? A ballsy mafioso would take the risk of changing orders to attack me, knowing that ATPG had a 1/2 chance of surviving and giving himself an alibi for the remainder of the game.

I'd like to know the names of those who protected Pizza tonight.
Maybe that person didn't take no risk at all, because killing me would make the attack on Pizza fail?
It seems to me that my killer is someone who had information on the Pizza protection and/or the vig hit on Pizza.
The write-up makes me believe the killer was in Pizza's protection group.

Nope. Two men were protecting ATPG, not the required three. Somebody gambled or somebody had intel on both the protection and the attack.

Not commenting on this either way. Speculate away. :yes:
I was protecting ACIN last night. ACIN was worried that Chaotix's vote against him was the precursor to either the mafia or that vig group of four last night paying him a "visit". He asked me to protect him in the event of an attack.
I'd like to know why you decided to attack me to begin with. Surely there was a more productive use of your talents?
Not as far as I was concerned. Your antics the previous day have convinced us that you can't be trusted outside of an officer position. Well, after yesterday's vote, I don't trust you to organize the town either. Taking a shot at removing you with a vig kill seemed to me like the best way to solve the town's conundrum.

"You die tonight, Quartermaster," one of them responded. "We be havin' just about enough the way this ship be run, and we'd be likin' to make some changes 'round here. First demand: You, dead."
"Consider the complaint noted," Pizzaguy replied. "I be referrin' it to me staff. Expect an answer from them right about... now," he said, and several more figures rushed out from behind another door, their cutlasses raised. The vigilante group, a bit taken aback, charged forward, and the battle was on.
I'd also like to know where you get only two protectors from "several". Even a very liberal definition of several would mean more than two.

Yarrr... then let the Captain handle the organization, if you're not happy with my efforts. Did you really be thinkin' that I would let my life be decided by a coin toss? I know you have more productive things to be doing, and I expect that you be doing them.
At the very least, we can narrow down who isn't the long-winded serial killer. That means we've made some progress today.

Who else was in your group who can confirm your behavior?

Sure, "several" came forward. Two real protectors and one 'protector' who cancelled the protection order he had forwarded to you and sent in an order to kill me instead.
Something about that write-up makes me believe my killer was one of those who were supposed to protect you.
Who was in that group, please? It can't be too hard to form a group that doesn't have those three in it for the next night to protect you, if you're so worried about you're own safety.
Nevermind, I suspect that our serial killer is the last maven. Once sigurd and gibson died he just started killing, yeah?
There was more than one solo killer last night.
Both are scum or Louis has been out killing (and of course, Louis can be scum too, I for one have not seen any evidence on his innocence).
Since our dear officers are very good at protecting themselves, they don't need to worry about being a bit more open to us.

Both are scum or Louis has been out killing (and of course, Louis can be scum too, I for one have not seen any evidence on his innocence).
Since our dear officers are very good at protecting themselves, they don't need to worry about being a bit more open to us.
Ah yes, the tour guide killer is probably the maven, but the "unearthly glow--blunderbuss" guy is new.
Arr but andres, methinks a man scared enough to beg other pirates for protection at night isn't going to give you their names, even if one of them is a serial killer. "rest assured, the captain and I will look into the matter. Trust in your noble officers to take care of things for you" sayeth he I'm sure.

At this moment we are not going to go after the vigilante groups. Offing gibsonsg was very good for the ship. However, wantonly killing everyone who appears suspicious could lead to pro-town roles getting killed. Better coordination could lower that chance.
Now it is very likely the British are hiding in those groups. I'm sure we can work something out for the good of the crew, though.

I don't have the evidence myself, but basically when he stopped doing protection groups was the same night the "Long Tale" killer started killing. He has also been leaving open comments making him look very suspect.

We are trying to co-operate with the kill groups, Andres. A new approach. Let us work together to find any possible English hiding in our ranks.
The English have five men. Four yesterday. One investigated, one converted. The remaining two didn't make a kill. Either one or two of them have been killed, or both are hiding in vig groups to camouflage themselves.
Let's find out.

I could buy that he is a secret role... Except he waits until now to suggest such a thing, and that's after doing everything in the book to harm his own credibility. If he were some powerful secret pro-town role, then why would he shoot himself in the foot, then the other foot, and then finally in the head? You know, when I have a powerful pro-town role that might be critical for our collective survival, I usually don't do a series of things almost guaranteed to get me killed, for no apparent reason. The way White_Eyes is playing, if we are to consider him a decent player which I do, suggests that he doesn't have a valuable secret role. Instead, that he is in fact frustrated or not really caring about the outcome. Which would seem to suggest the psychology of a man who lost all his teammates really early.
However, I'll give White_Eyes credit enough that he could be doing this for other reasons. I am just at a loss as to why. I can't really follow the line of thought at all. Everything suggests that something terrible happened which required his full attention, abruptly, and then he seemed to interpret his situation as being doomed. Enough so that he's almost eager to make it happen.
It doesn't match what I would expect from a British special officer or lieutenant. That much I'll warrant. However, the rest of it suggests he's at best unfocused on a town victory, and a bit too paranoid and secretive for an average able seaman. It shouldn't be too hard to say "oh yes I did vigilante actions last night" or "I was protecting someone who doesn't trust you" or what have you. Of course he's already denied both those options privately. The empty void that remains is... what was he doing, or not doing, and why wasn't he doing it?
If he believed for example I was dragging the town into the gutter, he might have joined Sasaki's vig squad. But that's not even his explanation either. I find it difficult to come up with a reason for his actions that reflects favorably on him.
does that mean further vigilante actions will not occur in the future against the Quartermaster or any of the other esteemed officers aboard?
I'm not holding my breath.

I for one would love to hear from AVSM
He's suspected of being the 4th vig killer in Sassaki's group and also others claimed he was protecting ACIN last night. Sassaki can clear this up by revealing the 4th vigilante.
I would love to hear from myself as well, but school takes up a bit of time.
I was in the protection group, not Sasaki's.

Sorry, but I'm tired of the current administration and their BS tactics. Either CR can demote both Louis and ATPG, or I'm gonna keep my vote on him.
Tired of two innocent townies having positions? You prefering British officers there instead?

Sounds like you're off the hook.
ACIN and Miotas, can you confirm? GH - can you comment on whether mechanics allow one to participate in a protection group on themselves?
Ok, first (not targeting you Yaro): could people please stop with the friggen. "I want to hear from..." "why haven't we heard from..." I live in a different time zone then most of you and are at school the majority of my day.
Yes, I got miotas, AVSM and Subo to protect me. I had my suspicions. That's what we were all doing.
Why should they protect you?
No, I am tired of the misuse of powers by our First Mate, and I do not trust the Quartermaster completely- it has been made public that he is completely susceptible to conversion, and given his suspicious actions in the thread this very phase regarding a lead that I consider very clear in the write-up, I would not be surprised if he was converted before he was placed in the position.
Also, I find it interesting that you say only two innocent townies have positions. Do you really mean to tell me that our Captain has not been investigated yet? If he hasn't been confirmed innocent, should we trust him with such a position?

10-10-2009, 00:36
Why should they protect you?
Because I went through Capo and no one said anything bad about me, I was a detective and I lasted all the way until the final week before the game ended. Then all of a sudden my name comes up in the thread and I am attacked. Then again. And I die at the very end of the game. So when I, coming home after working on my time consuming physics log in just to read and vote on who I think is guilty and get back to studying, suddenly see that someone had accused me of something, I didn't want to ignore what could be a sign for a mafia hit as I did before.
EDIT: If you are asking what the motivation is to protect a simple townie...then what I can say, their my Tavern social group buddies, we stick together against moderators and mafia of all kinds.

I didn't want to ignore what could be a sign for a mafia hit as I did before.
The person who killed you in capo was a word-triggered serial killer, not the mafia. After playing quite a few games I can say they don't usually announce who they are about to kill. However if you're getting protection from a group, in my mind at least you're getting 3 people to do something, so... carry on.

I didn't have anything else to say. But let me ask, who gave the trigger word? I doubt that any word I said had not been said a million times in the thread already.
EDIT: Disregard my first sentence. i thought carry on meant continue elaborating what you were talking about, not, ok you're clear, keep doin' what your doin'.
Sorry, I just don't have any idea whatsoever. So I'll have to go with Vote: Abstain so far. I'll change my vote if something comes up. If I'm able, because I really gotta go to bed now and I didn't entirely get when this round will end. :shrug:

Why mutiny? Because I'm a little tired of these pro town networks, who clear themselves and lead the town around. The generic townie is just told they are cleared. I don't doubt that they are most likely townies, but after a capo game where it happened, and my bad memories of Netherworld, I wholeheartedly wish for the old "You can't reveal in private, only in thread" rule.

Seeing your posts makes me think back to the time where Ichigo slipped under the radar in Swords of the Moon (10th Anniversary Game) and wasn't suspected, with the same style.
Responding to off point inquiries, and you asking suspicious questions.
Who the :daisy: is "Soldier Man"?
*Puts on Dr Zoidberg's voice*
Dine with the Captain? What an honour!
So, you have a death wish? Who have you left your treasure to?
[Language please - GH]
I still have two questions for White_Eyes
What did you do last night, and who are you leaving your treasure to?
Though I'm kinda busy studying and doing a skim read, these two posts caught my attention.
Firstly, why do you want to know who this "soldier man" is, Reenk has posted another quotation (from another person I presume) under the alias "Rudolph" if memory serves. Its probably just a means of preserving the identity of that person.
Secondly, why would you inquire who Whiteeyes left his treasure to, it is of no consequence to you isn't it?
Its a very curious point, why is his treasure a point of contention with you. Are you a maven who is desperate for MORE treasure? So that you can leave the ship hurriedly and hopefully not get flogged by your captain? :inquisitive:

Especially interesting is that he's read two messages from me over the past few days and ignored them totally, after claiming while voting for Jolt that he "trusts pizzaguy". That means he doesn't really trust pizzaguy, and was just looking for a quick bandwagon vote. He was a lot more active and talkative in Capo and he isn't inactive right now, he just joined another game. All unusual behavior for him.

Apologies in advance for the quality of this writeup. It is the second time I am doing this and RL has not been kind.
Day 5
Discussion on the Presence continued as usual. Throughout the day, the members of the vigilante attack on Quartermaster Askthepizzaguy revealed themselves one-by-one. Surprisingly, they came under little pressure. Most of the crew attributed this to the fact that a similar vigilante hit on gibsonsg91921 several nights ago ended up killing a Maven.
Instead, suspicion focused around mainly two crewmen. The first target was White_eyes:D. White_eyes had spent mostly the entire day drunk off an incredible amount of rum, so much so that his speech became incredibly slurred. Indeed, on the few occasions where the rest of the crew could understand him, they were almost in universal agreement that he was saying that he confessed to being a serial killer.
Finally, near the end of the day, White_eyes sobered up enough to clarify that he was, in fact, not the serial killer. Despite this, he still sounded very depressed and it was not enough to let him off the hook.
The second suspect was ricera10, who was also quite drunk. The trick is, he was so far gone that he was sleeping it off the entire day, and was not present for any of the accusations against him. His main attacker was the Quartermaster, who said that he pretty much "smelled suspicious" and that he never saw him at night in groups with the rest of the crew.
Instantly, a debate spawned about whether or not the Quartermaster had too much power. As the Captain was spending more and more time in his own cabin, votes for mutiny started to be called. People were wondering whether or not the Quartermaster was starting to usurp Captain Rabbit's authority. The calls for change, while still faint, could clearly be heard.
Despite this, many people were still ready to listen to the officers and placed their votes on ricera, as instructed. When the dust cleared, the two were tied in votes.
"All right," said Crazed Rabbit, "here's what be happenin' next. Since the crew be deadlocked, it be up to yer officers to decide who walks the plank today. We be retreatin' into our Quarters to discuss it over. In the meantime, make sure the ship be steered straight. The storm from last night took care o'all yer cleanin' duties, so there be no reason to slack with the jobs ye still have! Get to it, lads!" With a nods from the officers, the three men went indoors to the ruined Quarters, leaving the crew to speak amongst themselves.
"They be takin' a while," one of them said.
"Aye, in their little private offices," another concurred.
The banter and grumbling went along like this for a while, with the crew growing more and more discontent. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the Captain emerged, flanked by his officers. None of them said anything, though, instead marching straight below decks. The crew was extremely puzzled.
A minute later they came back up, Captain Rabbit in the lead, Louis and Pizzaguy in tow carrying a still-passed out ricera10. Without a word, they marched him straight to the plank and unceremoniously threw him overboard.
"We in our wisdom have decided that ricera is guilty," Rabbit said the crew. "His sentence has just been carried out. Everybody else, back to work. There be a long night ahead of us."
Day 5 tally:
ricera10: 6 (Sasaki, Chaotix, Joooray, Louis, A1, White_eyes) :skull:

wow and we possibly have the most corrupt pirates, ever......Arr! Corrupt is what the beefeaters call a pirate's day of hard, honest work. :pirate:
But you are right of course. We're as corrupt and rotten as Dirty Lou's teeth. Yarr! Hence:
With apologies to my fellow officers: for ten gold, I'll offer my one third of the officer's map to a secret Pirate Treasure. (That is, you receive the accompanying instructions on how we get a shot at fifty gold with this map)
Me, I'm not taking my chances, I'll settle for ten now.
Put the money on my Cayman Islands off-shore account. (That'll be GH). (Hmmm..the GH-ayman Islands then?)

THANK YOU ONLINE TRANSLATOR! WOULD TRANSLATE AGAIN! A+++++++
According to Worldlingo -
Pecunia non olet. = Pecunia non olet.
L'argent ne sent pas = Money does not feel
GeneralHankerchief

It's Latin, meaning "the money doesn't smell".
It's funny that the french translation is "Money does not feel" then.
Does that mean that the oder in France is so excessive, you can feel it? :book2:

Pecunia non olet ("money does not smell") is a Latin saying. The phrase originally related to the urine tax levied by the Roman emperors Nero and Vespasian in the 1st century upon the collection of urine.
[edit] History
The Urine Tax (Latin: vectigal urinae) was a tax levied by the Roman emperor Nero in the 1st century upon the collection of urine. The lower classes of Roman society urinated into pots which were emptied into cesspools. The liquid was then collected from public latrines, where it served as the valuable raw material for a number of chemical processes: it was used in tanning, and also by launderers as a source of ammonia to clean and whiten woollen togas.
The tax was eventually discontinued, but it was re-enacted by Nero's successor Vespasian and applied to all public toilets within Rome's now famous Cloaca Maxima (great sewer) system. The Roman historians Suetonius and Dio Cassius report that when Vespasian's son Titus complained to him about the disgusting nature of the tax, his father held up a gold coin and told him, "Non olet! ("It doesn't stink!"). (Dio Cassius, Roman History, Book 65, chapter 14.) This phrase is still used today to show that the value of money is not tainted by its origins. Vespasian's name still attaches to public urinals in France (vespasiennes), Italy (vespasiani), and Romania (vespasiene).
[edit] In literature
"Vespasian's axiom" is referred to in passing in the Balzac short story "Sarrasine," in connection with the mysterious origins of the wealth of a Parisian family. The proverb receives some attention in Roland Barthes's detailed analysis of the Balzac story in his critical study S/Z (Barthes, S/Z, trans. Richard Miller [New York: Hill and Wang - Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 1974] pages 39–40; see lexia number 26). It is possible that F. Scott Fitzgerald alludes to Vespasian's axiom in The Great Gatsby. As Nick crosses the Queensborough Bridge he observes "the city rising up across the river in white heaps and sugar lumps all built with a wish out of non-olfactory money." (Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, New York, Scribner, 1925, p.#73).

Drat. And here I was half-way through constructing a (fake) etymology for the phrase, involving a Roman continuation of a Greek observation of Persian goats, involving fig leaves, miserly farmers, and ancient ducats. Oh well. Next time.

Hmm...I was wondering:
Do the English actually have got money to spend in this game? I mean, if they don't, then that would mean the buyer is off the hook. (If he can provide me with a cc-ed PM to GH transferring the money)
Could be a way to find the English out.
I probably conjugated it wrong, I suck at french :(The proper expression would be: 'L'argent n'a pas d'odeur'.

Right, I just realized my mistake. I was using "to smell" idiomatically, and it doesn't translate like that. It would be more like the money itself does not smell, because it has no nose.

Night 5
Beskar was busy being entertained by a friend of his. Nights aboard the Presence were long, lonely affairs, and he was grateful for the company. On this particular night, his fellow crewman was reflecting on the magnitude of the fast-diminishing feat they had pulled off: the sack of Charleston.
"It be rare for any pirate crew to hold a city hostage, especially nowadays with the great crackdown and the British actually havin' all their ropes in the right place, unlike the Spanish." Beskar sat and nodded knowingly. "'course, even back in the old days, 'twasn't every day that a crew brought home a whole ship's load of treasure, really. Best at it was Morgan, of course, the cleverest sailor who ever did live. Ye know about Panama, don't ye?"
Beskar nodded. Of course he did. Everyone knew about Panama. Despite this, the story never got old, and he let his friend spin the classic tale.
"Well, Morgan had had some previous successes raidin' Spanish territory, as ye know. Ones that come to mind are Puerto Principe, Maracaibo, and Portobello, and the loot from those stashes were beyond countin'. Despite the massive haul from all those, the greed of Morgan was sensational, and he wanted more. Now, the three great Spanish cities of the Caribbean at the time were Havana, Cartagena, and Panama. Nobody worth his salt even dreamed of doing anything with those jewels, not even a night o' hard drinkin'. It was suicide, see. But Morgan, he didn't think like any other man. He saw a weakness in one of the three." He paused, looking out over the ocean, and then resumed.
"He knew Cartagena was nigh unassailable, even then, for the fortifications surrounding the city and harbor were top-o'-the-line. Havana too, was too rich and too heavily-guarded. The Spanish forces were spread out across the Main, ye be knowin' this, and as a result they didn't have enough men to protect any one city. Ye be needin' to be loved by Mother Spain if ye wanted to be protected. Well, Havana was one of the few that Mother Spain deemed worthy of protectin', so Havana was out. But Panama... now, Panama be connected to the Pacific, not actually the Caribbean. Ye had to land on the other side o' the Isthmus in order to make an attack, and the Spanish be countin' on that as their main defense."
"But they still had soldiers and fortifications there, right?" said Beskar.
"Oh, aye, but they were hardly used, because again, nobody even dreamed of attacking it. So, the garrison became a bit... lax, ye might say, and so was its funding. So Morgan figured, if he could get his men to Panama, well, the hard part would be over, and his mateys would find killin' the Spanish t'be easy in comparison. The only problem, of course, was gettin' across that isthmus. 'Twas a relatively thin strip of land, aye, but it be the single worst strip of land that length ye could imagine, what with hills and marsh and jungle the whole bleedin' stretch. Upon the landing, Morgan brought more than enough men to take the city, a number in the thousands, but then they actually started the walk. And then the lives started to be lost. Gettin' lost on the way. Snakebite. Malaria. Starvation. By the time they actually got to the plain east o' the city, the crew was ready to mutiny, unbelievable as it sounds. But Morgan finally found some animals, slaughtered them, fed them to his crew, and got them together long enough for them to band together, and kill the Spanish. Sometime during the sack, a fire was started, and by the time they got out of there with their king's ransom, the city was almost fully consumed by the flames. The cloud of smoke was said to be so high ye could see it from anywhere in the Caribbean, and those sages amongst us said that it signaled the end of an era. 'An end of an era', they said. Imagine that!" he said, and started to laugh. So what does that make us, then?"
"I'm not sure," said Beskar. "I mean, we have to be gettin' back to Nassau first before we become the stuff of legend. No sense in feelin' good about ourselves when there's all this treachery aboard, eh?"
"Aye, how right ye are," said his friend, who was beginning to finger his sword. However, just as he was preparing to pull it out and behead Beskar with one sweep, a group of men walked by, cutlasses drawn.
"But hopefully, none of that will happen tonight, eh mateys?" one of the group said, not so subtly making some motions with his cutlass.
"Aye, Lord be willing," Beskar's "friend" said, turning red in embarrassment and excusing himself shortly afterwards to get some sleep.
SSNeoperestroika was under the distinct impression that he was being watched. He was above decks to get some air, it was true, but his sixth sense was strong and he felt that any more fresh air, at least this night, would be hazardous to his health.
Just as he started to make his way to the stairs back below deck, he sensed some motion behind him. Illuminated by the moonlight was a figure, swinging down from one of the myriad ropes on the ship, ready to behead him as he passed by. Acting purely on reflex, SSNeo ducked, leaving the would-be rope assassin to swing high and miss. As he felt the attack pass over him, SSNeo rose back to his full height, watching with some amusement as he watched his attacker crash face-first into the mast. He made his way back below decks, chuckling.
Despite his persona of a big, burly, never-sober man who had enough tales of tavern wenches to fill a library, Itchy Lou (Diana Abnoba) was actually, at heart, an art aficionado. On previous raids, when the crew had returned to Nassau with their loot, Itchy Lou would usually buy small woodcuts while the rest of the crew went and boozed it up until they were all out of gold. Itchy Lou's art habit left him with just enough money for the cheapest rum and wenches in the port, which probably contributed to his reputation. It was a cycle that made everybody happy.
Itchy Lou would secretly bring his woodcuts aboard, for there was little fear of them being ruined by the water. Sometimes, he would study them above decks, illuminated by the pale moonlight, and appreciate them, knowing that he was one of the very few pirates able to comprehend beauty in such a form. Tonight was one of those nights, just Lou and his woodcuts, in solitude. Or so he thought.
One man saw Itchy Lou sitting, alone, and approached him. "Woodcuts?" he asked, leaving Itchy Lou to look up in delight. "Aye!" he said, surprised. "Be ye an admirer?"
"That I am," said the other man, somewhat embarrassed. "Never thought I'd find another one on board, that's for sure. What be ye studying right now?"
"I got the works of Ugo da Carpi with me right now," Lou said. "A bit lesser-known, but the dealer in Nassau doesn't really get much, so I be happy with what I have. Besides, da Carpi copies work from such other greats as Raphael, allowing their genius to be shown in other forms. I be quite grateful for that, aye. What be some o'yer favorites, my friend?"
"Well," said the second man, noting that he had Itchy Lou's full attention. Lou didn't even notice three men inching up behind him. "I be likin' the work of Albrecht Dürer, meself. He be a master at the woodcut, maybe even the best ever."
"Aye, that he be," said Itchy Lou, still in too much wonder to sense that anything was wrong. "Tell me, do ye be havin' a particularly favorite Dürer work?"
"It just so happens that I do," said the second man. "I be admirin' most his Apocalypse series, especially the 'Four Horsemen' cut. As a matter o'fact, all of us be fans of that particular work." Finally, Itchy Lou looked up in shock, noticing the other men for the first time. It was with this expression that his face would have etched on it forevermore afterwards, as one of the other men lopped his head off as soon as he looked up.
pevergreen was being chased, chased by a single attacker. He did not know what he had done to provoke this man, or even really anything at all about him. All he knew is that he had been scurrying around the ship for two hours now, still being pursued by someone who did not seem to tire.
All the while, pever was slowly losing his energy, his vitality... possibly even his life force itself, although he was too focused on escape to notice. More annoying still, every time he tried to retreat below deck, the pursuer was always there, somehow spookily managing to block his one safe line of retreat.
As pever started to get more panicked and more tired, he made more mistakes. Finally tripping over a loose strand of rope (incidentally enough, the same rope that someone had used earlier in the night to try to kill SSNeoperestroika), he lost his balance and knew it was over. Falling face forward, by the time he turned around, his pursuer was standing right over him, blunderbuss in one hand. By the moonlight, pever could see the man's yellow, yellow teeth. What was possibly even more disturbing is that there seemed to be a second light source forming, this one emanating from the man's eyes. All in all it created a very unearthly appearance, and pever knew he was a goner. All he wanted to know now was...
"...why?" he asked.
He didn't get a response, save for one from Bess the blunderbuss that put an end to any further questions.
In the morning, Captain Crazed Rabbit arose and did his now-standard body count from the night. "Only two," he grumbled to himself upon completion. "That's an improvement." Once he had roused the crew, he addressed them above decks, as usual.
"All right lads," he said, "here's where we stand. It be clear that we're bleedin' 'em out, that much is certain. I've got some more results, and it's good news. Cut me some slack, because our former Quartermaster Sigurd did turn out to be a dirty rotten Maven traitor, after all. Despite the losses of Beefy187, Tratorix, and Iskander 3.1 - loyal crewmen all - we *are* making progress. Fall back on that, lads, and remember that the officers are always right."

Perhaps you should ask who was the fourth in the vig group against ATPG, you never did find out.

Somehow I doubt it was an officer that killed pever.
pevergreen was inactive, he never did anything. He wasn't scum, just lazy.
Also, looks like the British are after me. Don't worry, I know it wasn't you who attacked me, White_Eyes:D, they wanted it to look that way though.

I thought that was "The long-tailed killer"?:inquisitive:
I really don't think we hit any Brits to be honest...:no:

makes it tricky to find out... Guy one: "Oh we were in a protect group last night, these guys can confirm."
Guy two: "I can confirm that"
Guy three: "I can double confirm that"
whole while they are recruiting away...and maybe a Vig group if they have enough...:juggle2:
FYI, pevergreen was the fourth person in the ATPG vig hit. However, I don't think Louis was the one who killed him. This time the blunderbuss killer was described as having some sort of glowing eyes. That seems like a special role to me, not a First Officer kill.
A bunch of people were inactive last night. Heads will be rolling.
Also, the best news:
I've got some more results, and it's good news. Cut me some slack, because our former Quartermaster Sigurd did turn out to be a dirty rotten Maven traitor, after all.

Louis hasn't killed anyone, his power is investigation.
