Pirate Ship Mafia II [Concluded]

[GeneralHankerchief]

Night 0

Everybody rose late the next morning. The previous day had been quite intense, and with a lack of officers on board there wasn't much discipline on board anyway. General consensus went that the crewmen would get a very well-deserved lie-in and then spend the day electing the new captain to take them back to Nassau. This would not be a day of hard physical labor, but the week ahead would most likely be trying.

There was a more sinister undertone to the day's proceedings though. Raids on Spanish ships and holdings had dropped significantly over the past few decades. The main reason for this was the presence of the dreaded Guardacosta, or Coast Guard. Their ships were actually effective at patrolling Spanish lands, they were ruthless about hunting down pirates... and it was rumored that there was a special, more secretive branch that was devoted to more covert activities - such as killing everyone on board a pirate ship that had recently pillaged the Treasure Fleet. There was no telling how far this branch's influence spread.

A lot of the sailors were noticeably uneasy as they were waiting for the voting to begin. In this era, *nobody* got away with such a haul against the Spanish this easily. There had to be Guardacosta agents on board. Some of the older sailors, those who had been present for the sack of Charleston and its aftermath, were definitely pale. After that sack three years ago, they had to fend off British agents and men from a rival pirate ship just to make home with their loot. They were successful, but by no means did they want to go through anything like that again. And so, they hoped. They prayed to their deity of choice that they had honestly just beaten the Spanish, caught the Guardacosta napping, and were electing a Captain who would do no more than peacefully steer them home.

There would be other threats, too. After all, they were on a ship filled with greedy pirates. Greedy pirates that had just risked a lot to get a lot of gold. What would stop them from being satisfied with their own shares when there would be ample room to increase them? If the Guardacosta was on board (and most privately agreed that this was likely) then what was to stop some of the more... enterprising pirates from using the chaos to become even richer?

The seniormost sailor pulled everybody out of their thoughts by ringing the ship's bell.

"All right, lads," he said, "Ye all know what it be time for. We had a really successful raid last night, 'tis true, but the voyage not be over yet. There's an old saying that goes 'A ship without a Captain is no ship,' and I don't know about you, but right now I be standin' on some slats o' wood and iron that are makin' sure I don't drown. If that's not a ship then I don't know what is. So let's elect a Captain!"

Since most of the pirates were illiterate, it fell upon the few who knew their letters to have tallying duty, and they swore oaths up and down that they would be true with their counts. By general consensus, voting would last all day and, come sundown, the clear favorite would ascend to the Captaincy and name his new First Mate and Quartermaster.

Before the voting started, the seniormost sailor said one final thing. "Remember lads, in terms of treasure and power, the Captain be gettin' a salary of 15 gold per night. If there need be any daily matters that require a full vote o' the crew, he be forfeittin' his vote, however, he and the officers have tiebreaking power. Should the three o' *them* be deadlocked, then the Captain has final authority over what does and doesn't go. Finally, I know this boat's better disciplined than that, but if ye be enterprisin' to sneakily kill the Captain at night, good luck with that, mateys. Once you elect him, the only way we're gettin' a new one between now and Nassau is if there's a mutiny, and if heaven forbid there is, then we be havin' bigger problems on our hands."

The man sat down and thus, the voting for Captain began. It was a beautiful day with just the right amount of wind, and the possibilities were endless.

OOC: It is now Day 1. As stated above, you will not be voting someone to walk the plank, you are electing a Captain. The proper format for doing this is as follows:

Elect: GeneralHankerchief

Vote changes are made like so:

Unelect: Andres
Elect: GeneralHankerchief

You will be rewarded 3 pieces of treasure for lodging a legal vote.

Voting will last until 22:00 US Eastern Time on Thursday, September 27th.

Elect: TinCow

Oh, my divine lord! How blessed we are to be graced with your presence! Join me, brothers, in promoting the righteous one to his proper position! Join me in blessed adoration!

[Montmorency]

I would love to be elected Captain, but I don't recall what it entails. Hold your votes until I reread all the rules.

After I've announced the completion of the reread, you may cast in my favor.

[TinCow]

Elect: TinCow

Hmm... yes, I approve of this. Vote for me, I promise that all who survive this voyage shall live! Also, I like gold but am too lazy to actually do anything to earn it. This is the perfect job for me!

Elect: TinCow

I shall happily accept bribes for the positions of First Mate and Quartermaster. Hell, I'll even create the new positions of Second Mate and Eighthmaster. A vote for TinCow is a vote for increased employment!

Mutiny? Such talk will be poor for one's health in the glorious future the divine one shall build for us. For though his generosity is boundless to those who prove their devotion, equally great is his wrath to those who subvert his will!

[GeneralHankerchief]

:laugh4: Getting this out of the way now...

Furthermore, you are allowed to transfer small amounts of treasure between crew members. The caveats to this are that is a maximum 10 treasure per person per day, the transfer must be for services rendered, and the services must be publicly available (in other words, no breaking the game by pooling all of your gold into one source).

Officer bribes are allowed, but they're still capped at 10 treasure per person per day. So there *is* a limit, Long John Silver.

[Montmorency]

I assure you that I know what I'm doing.

[Arjos]

I assure you that I know what I'm doing.

Power role used so soon?

[Montmorency]

Yes, it's a day-kill. It can kill even a Captain. It recharges in two days.


The Spanish pride themselves on being better at subtlety than their British counterparts, and as such will be able to hide flawlessly in protection groups.


What does this mean?

[GeneralHankerchief]

In the past (including Pirate Ship 1, which explains the British reference), scum roles wouldn't count for the purposes of protection groups (so if a scum was in a group of three and the target was attacked, that protection would fail). The Spanish *do* count for purposes of protection, so they can't be flushed out that way.

[Arjos]

Yes, it's a day-kill. It can kill even a Captain. It recharges in two days.

[Askthepizzaguy]

[TinCow]

Vote: Issaikhaan

Illegal voting and​ an attempt to kill my so-far-completely-loyal-toadie? You, sir, are a pest which must be eradicated. As I am entirely too lazy to do it myself, I hereby put a bounty* on Monty's head. I'll pitch in an extra 10 gold to whoever kills him, divided equally amongst whoever has the balls to actually do so and then inform me of their participation.

*Bounty offer subject to me getting the job of Captain, 'cause this gold isn't just popping out of my ears.

[Montmorency]

I accept death - just remember that your contract must be set down in public. All may see.

No transaction without scrutiny.

It is Law. We obey the Law. There is nothing but the Law.

Who is brave enough to come before our "Captain" with one hand outstretched, pleading for specie, while the other drags against the unholy handle of a blasted dagger?

:brood:

[Chaotix]

Attention fellow piratey dudes!

This is the moment you have been waiting for! The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are back, and we are now accepting new members!

For those of you who don't know, the Horsemen are a group of awesome vigilante killers with a dark and storied past, who kill people awesomely and in vigilante style. And you (yes, YOU!) could be the newest member of this elite and exclusive group!

If you are interested in joining up, please send all application PMs to the man known as Chaotix (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/private.php?do=newpm&u=22074).

As for the election...

Let's Elect: TinCow.

I am sure he will provide us with many future job opportunities.

[johnhughthom]

How can the Four Horsemen recruit? If you don't have four members yet, then you are lying and fraudulently misrepresenting the situation to prospective recruits. If you do have four members, then the first person to join will make it the Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse, again fraudulently misrepresenting the terms of this offer. I expect to see a redrafting of this, or I shall contact my nearest Pirate lawyer.

I was the only Horseman to die in the original game, so three are still alive and since I am here in the second, obviously the serial killer failed to kill me permanently.

Now, the real problem I have is whether or not some upstart wants to use the 4 Horseman logo without my permission. I will be talking to Chaotix about my inclusion or a name change.

As the resident Pirate Lawyer, I do feel the need to point out that the Four Horsemen could recruit without becoming the Five Horsemen. The additional personages could simply be given other titles. The classic example would be, of course, the Three Musketeers, which was actually a quartet since d'Artagnan always seemed to show up wherever they went, but wasn't technically a Musketeer. They could also go the musical route and add names to the group, like TinCow and the Four Horsemen. However, that kind of system would probably not work well as the Four Horsemen would inherently have to take the place of the backup band, which I doubt they'd appreciate. Plus, I can't sing. Alternatively, they could just go the classic corporate route and have positions like Assistant, Deputy Assistant, Deputy Undersecretary, and Assistant to the Senior Deputy Undersecretary. In fact, each Horseman could have an entire staff of his or her own, just append 'Department of Pestilence,' et al. to the aforementioned titles.

With this post, you have just proved you are only a 'lawyer' and not a 'pirate lawyer'. The pirate lawyer response would be to say "Arrr, me client said walk the plank." Then shove a cutlass up my behind.

For which I am gratetful, imagine the fees a pirate lawyer would charge for that consultation...

That's right, comrades, I offer you luxury! No more having to sit near a stinking ATPG who smells like a combination of old garlic, rotten tomatoes and questionable pepperoni and sausages! I offer you luxury cabines! For each man his own sauna, his jacuzzi, 10 showers and 5 seperate bathrooms for his wenches and a cell to lock up his wenches in case he wants to enjoy rest and piece! This entire ship will be turned into a giant paradise of luxury and pleasure and everything a modern pirate of refined tastes requires!

TinCow will probably just take all your gold, then he'll use it to buy the entire ship minus 10 square meters, turn it into a luxury resort where he'll reside (secretly together with 10 gorgeous looking wenches which he won't share). The rest of us will have to live on the remaining 10 square meters which will be, coincidentally and highly unfortunately, situated just outside the ship. He'll blame that on the guy who did the measurements.

Yes, that is exactly true! However, think of how great it will be once you inevitably mutiny and toss me overboard... You'll all get to reside in a luxury resort together with 10 gorgeous looking wenches! None of this will come to pass unless you elect me as your HEARTLESS DICTATOR.

[TinCow]

How much again will you be paying, TinCow for Monty's murder?

Oh, well... I originally said that it was 10 gold extra (above and beyond the innate rewards for the murder), split amongst those who IDed themselves to me. However, that was based on the idea that I could only transfer a maximum of 10 gold per turn. I think I misread that, and I can transfer more than 10 per turn, as long as I don't give more than 10 to any one person. As such, I'll say 20 gold, split amongst those who ID themselves to me. That's a bonus of 5 gold per person for a four person team, assuming all name themselves to me. If only one does, I'll give that person a bonus of 20 over the course of two nights.

All of this is, of course, subject to me being elected Captain. Trickle-down economics! We shall all prosper!

People with accounts over at CFC: I see a few CFCers haven't read my role PMs yet; mind posting something over there that the game's started? Many thanks. :bow:

Done.

[Andres]

What is this "trickle-down" and where can I sign up for it?

For 10 gold I'll tell you everything you want to hear about it.

[TinCow]

What is this "trickle-down" and where can I sign up for it?

It involves me tossing gold onto the deck of the ship and watching with amusement as the rest of you fight over it. It also involves me paying you for doing something horrific to Monty over there. There's an additional element that has to do with me receiving an exceptionally large amount of gold, but you shouldn't worry yourself about that aspect. Just focus on amusing me and stabbing Monty and you'll be fine.

[Memnon]

Yaharr, I'll vote for the greater evil this time, the overlord of pirates, Elect: Tincow.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I can get gold for killing Monty?



(singing)
Who would have thought such a miracle could be, who could have known that this moment I would see, a new way of living, a chance to be free!!!

[Montmorency]

Oh, well... I originally said that it was 10 gold extra (above and beyond the innate rewards for the murder), split amongst those who IDed themselves to me. However, that was based on the idea that I could only transfer a maximum of 10 gold per turn. I think I misread that, and I can transfer more than 10 per turn, as long as I don't give more than 10 to any one person. As such, I'll say 20 gold, split amongstthose who ID themselves to me. That's a bonus of 5 gold per person for a four person team, assuming all name themselves to me. If only one does, I'll give that person a bonus of 20 over the course of two nights.

Tincow is lying to all of you. He can not legally give you money unless the deal is struck in public. It's all in the Pirate Ship Rulebook.

You contact him in private, you kill me, then it's the base gain for you. Why be damaging the town effort for a paltry ten gold? Heck, I could pay you all off if that's what is at stake.

Pirates shouldn't take kindly to a swindler and a con-man.

Unelect; Elect: Zaccino

Swindler? Con-man?!

I am the Evil Pirate Lawyer. How dare you even think to challenge my knowledge of Piracy Law! You are either completely ignorant of the law, or you are a liar and a con-man yourself. The Pirate Code does not include any restriction to the transfer of treasure which requires the deal to be struck in public. The 'public' aspect of the Code only pertains to the type of services which can be rendered, not the visible nature of the transaction itself:


Furthermore, you are allowed to transfer small amounts of treasure between crew members. The caveats to this are that is a maximum 10 treasure per person per day, the transfer must be for services rendered, and the services must be publicly available (in other words, no breaking the game by pooling all of your gold into one source).

For someone who claims to be such a strict supporter of The Law, you appear to know relatively little about it. :stare:

Can someone please stab this man already?

[Montmorency]

You're a canny one, aren't you?

I'll get my revenge, Tincowbell, just you wait!

As it happens, Mr. Evil Pirate Lawyer, yes we can.

The Four Horsemen of Apocalypse the are now back in business with full membership, after having successfully negotiated a suitable royalties contract with the honorable ACIN, who will not be joining us.

As such, we will gladly accept your contract to kill the one known as Montmorency. You may deliver the 20 gold directly to me upon completion of said task, which I will distribute amongst my fellow riders who shall remain unnamed.

To everyone else: while the Horsemen may be contracted for tonight, we have a free schedule ahead of us. If you would like to set up a contract with the world's most dangerous men, feel free to contact me.

Yours truly,

WAR, the Red Rider

[GeneralHankerchief]

Can't remember if I put this in the rules or not, but all transactions must be confirmed to me via PM for both parties.

[TinCow]

As such, we will gladly accept your contract to kill the one known as Montmorency. You may deliver the 20 gold directly to me upon completion of said task, which I will distribute amongst my fellow riders who shall remain unnamed.

Very good sir, though it will unfortunately take me two days to transfer the gold under this arrangement, as I cannot give more than 10 to any one person in a single day. I'm sure you will understand as well that I cannot make the first payment until the job is actually accomplished, particularly as it is contingent on me being Captain which I am currently not.

[Montmorency]

all transactions must be confirmed to me via PM for both parties.

I do not condone the murder of said individual, i.e. Montmorency, who may or may not be participating in the murder attempt on one Montmorency this night, the night of Friday March 24 in the Year of Our Lord 1720, though he has not committed himself to sign the contract concerning partition of murder culpability, partition of murder commission, and disbursement of hard currency in the form of shekels, obols, drachmae, denarii, florins, pounds sterling, or Spanish doubloons. This is illegal as any and all murder attempts must follow full documentation of the affair by the office of the Pagarch Piratalis in contractual documents 4.7c and 4.7d, which must be signed by both parties, i.e. the killers - including, for all legal intents & purposes, the paymaster - and the victim. It may also be noted that it is highly unusual for a party to be both victim and killer by these contracts, escepting cases covered in contractual document 4.7d, which requires the holder's signature in the holder's blood, the holder being the person holding the document at any given moment, and the Unholy Seal of Davy Jones to be valid.

Whatever the case may be, Montmorency refuses to read or be party to any contracts for the duration of this voyage, until we reach the port city of Nassau Jamaica. Therefore, any contracts with respect to Montmorency and/or his person are null and void for the remainder of the fortnight.

That ought to do it. :smug:

[a completely inoffensive name]

Under the agreement I came to with Chaotix, my RL demands prevent me from getting involved in a group that requires orders every night. So the contract has been that they are allowed to work under the 4 Horseman name under the stipulation that their will will provide all gold to me in the case of their death.

This has already been seen to and I am proud to have a chaotic, unaccountable force in Pirate Ship mafia once again. Although, my philosophy was more of a random type of killing, not whoring yourself out for money.

Nice try there Monty with the lawyer like talk, but you don't have to sign anything for you to be killed. The contract would be between TinCow the payer of the gold and the team who kills you. Service rendered and payment for such service. These are the only PM's that need to be sent to our host. Sorry.
But as ya mentioned before how much are ya willing to pay for your protection?

[Montmorency]

10 gold, of course.

The hour of judgment is upon us! It is not yet too late to prove your loyalty to the divine arbiter! Come, my brothers and sisters, join me in blessed adoration!

[GeneralHankerchief]

Above tally is incorrect, TinCow and Zaccino are currently tied at 11 votes each with ~3 hours to go.

I notice El Barto in particular has posted a lot but not actually voted, make sure to lodge a legal vote if you want that gold!

[El Barto]

Ten gold, of course. This would be on top of the reward for a successful protection.

Of course, the rest of the reward be coming from General Hankerchief himsself.

Visorslash and Zaccino, for reasons best known to their own scurvy selves, be pressuring me to vote me to Erect: Zaccino.

[seireikhaan]

Very well. You faithless desire gold, is it? I offer a sum of ten gold to anyone electing Zaccino to switch to the aid of my Lord. You will only receive payment if TinCow is elected captain. May He have mercy on your wicked souls.

[El Barto]

Be ye suggesting that TinCow be God? Avast, and back away from me, thee Devil, thee siren-voiced minion of Evil!

[GeneralHankerchief]

So a bit of clarification, apparently I forgot that my timezone was now EDT and not EST, meaning the round's ending an hour later than I originally planned it to. Please refer to the timer currently counting down and not the actual time posted on the first post of this thread as well as the summary thread (so basically, 2.5 hours to go, not 1.5).

[El Barto]

Zaccino be leading by 12 votes to 11, all hail the CFCing Alliance.

Why? Because I have no idea who else to vote for.

[El Barto]

Ah, it appears we have a ship full of boring pirates. Enjoy being boring with your boring captain. I'll be over on the poop deck with a lot of rum. Wenches disguises as pirate are welcome; boring pirates are not.

[Montmorency]

I'm still interested in speaking with anyone who would be willing to protect me.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Day 1

As to be expected, the election for Captain was a loud and boisterous affair. On the day after the great raid on the Treasure Fleet, spirits were generally high. There were promises of great loot and glory from those who sought the position, which (probably inevitably) degenerated into blatant deals being made and bounties being put out. Ah, what the presence of gold and the promise of more can do to a person...

It became established very early on that the two main candidates for the Captaincy were TinCow and Zaccino. TinCow jumped out to an early lead, taking the stance of being an openly corrupt captain, which he figured would be very profitable on a ship filled with pirates who eschewed normal forms of law and order. He was already deep in negotiations about how much he was to be paid for the positions of First Mate and Quartermaster and Zaccino made a late charge for the position.

Zaccino made far fewer promises, instead noting the fact that as the official ship's recruiter, he had already brought a lot of the souls aboard who had, so far, seen riches aplenty. This in particular seemed to work with the crew that he had personally brought on board, and soon he and TinCow were in a dead heat. Perhaps annoyed by TinCow's open corruption, most of the votes to third parties, realizing that their candidates would not win, went to Zaccino, ultimately winning him the election.

At sunset, Zaccino, victorious, addressed his crew. "All right, gents," he began, "I thank ye for puttin' yer faith in me during these times. Hopefully my Captaincy will be quite the boring affair as my plan is to get ye all back to Nassau as soon as we can so we can spend all our loot as irresponsibly as we can!" There was a general cheer to this. This seemed to be the end of the speech, as Zaccino turned and seemed to be ready to retire to what was now his cabin. However, someone then called out.

"Cap'n, sir, who be the new officers for the ship?"

"Ah, right." Zaccino turned. "I be namin' Choxorn as me First Mate and BSmith as Quartermaster. I'm confident they'll do their duties to the ship. Be that it?"

There seemed to be no further business, as silence followed this. Choxorn and BSmith, Zaccino's first two supporters during the voting, smiled as they too moved to retire into the Captain's quarters. "Right then," Zaccino said, "everyone not on night duty, back below decks and get some shut-eye! We be havin' a long day ahead of us!" Everyone on crew obeyed, and thus the first day aboard the Presence after the raid drew to a close.

Day 1 tally:

Zaccino: 12 (Zaccino, BSmith, Choxorn, Diana Abnoba, NinjaCow64, JoanK, Double A, autolycus, Montmorency, Visorslash, a completely inoffensive name, El Barto)
TinCow: 11 (issaikhaan, TinCow, Arjos, Askthepizzaguy, Chaotix, johnhughthom, Ishmael, Xenoneb, edse, Memnon, Ironside)

I work for gold, so if anyone needs my services please PM me. I will protect, or murder doesn't matter as long as I get paid. That is the pirates way now isn't it.

[Askthepizzaguy]

If you haven't found partners to do stuff with by now, time is short.

Effectively performing group actions requires planning ahead and sending in orders early. History shows that if you haven't gotten everyone on board and given a plan of action within 12 hours of the end of night, you won't be actually doing anything that night, so you might as well guard your gold or sleep.

Not everyone is at the same place at the same time, so pad your deadlines by at least 12 hours to account for sleeping crewmen.

Meanwhile I am still not hired to do anything. Guess I'll be doing [blank] by myself.

[El Barto]

Pizzaguy, Diana + me + you, it's a threesome.

Night 1 has ended, no more orders will be accepted.

Here we go... :juggle2:

[GeneralHankerchief]

Night 1

As the moon rose over the Atlantic, so too did a sailor rise from below decks on the Presence, his cutlass out.

He quickly identified his target: TinCow, sitting alone on the edge of the ship, staring out at the sea. Excellent. He would make a perfect first victim. The attacker crept up to him, trying to be as silent as he could, but when you were walking on wood on a moving ship there was only so much you could do to muffle the noise. Eventually, TinCow turned, alerted, and the element of surprise was gone.

The attacker, realizing this, ran straight for TC now, trying to use his momentum to just push him overboard, but TinCow slid his hat on the ground, causing the man to trip before he got close. He was quickly back up on his feet before TC could take advantage of this, and the sword fight was on. "En garde!" TinCow yelled, causing a brief break in the action as his attacker looked at him quizzically.

"Sorry," he said, "Old habits." At the fight resumed.

It was a fairly even affair. The attacker was constantly forcing TinCow to backpedal, but TC never lost his footing and had plenty of room to work with on the relatively open ship. They fought at a relative stalemate for about 10 minutes when the clatter finally drew some attention from below decks: three more sailors, all with their cutlasses drawn, ran upstairs and charged straight for TinCow's attacker.

This fight was very brief, as the attacker soon realized that the only one liable to die in this action would be himself. Sensing defeat, the attacker climbed the ship's rigging, getting TinCow's defenders to follow. With a little bit of a lead, he took a rope hanging free and swung all the way back down to the deck, smoothly dismounting right at the stairs that led below deck. By the time TC's protectors caught up, his attacker would simply be one of the many anonymous sailors sleeping that night.


Zaccino was woken slightly after dawn by some loud banging on the door to his quarters. He had ordered his officers to send whoever it was away, but this had proven to be ineffective as there were simply too many people knocking on the door. Reluctantly, Zaccino emerged from his cabin and addressed the crowd. "All right, mateys, what be the problem?"

A multitude of voices greeted him at once. "Cap'n, some of me gold's missin'!"

"Mine too! There be thieves aboard!"

"They tried to murder me!" That was TinCow.

"What should we do?"

"Everybody quiet!!!" Zaccino yelled, and the cacophany died down. "It be clear to me by yer stories that there be some thievery aboard, and worse. I can't be havin' this. Now, I know we be pirates who have rejected the shackle of the mother countries in favor of freedom, but aboard this ship we still need discipline. We can't have everyone tearin' each other to bits, not with crimes punishable by death on our way home after a big treasure haul. Therefore, I be institutin' the same criminal proceedings that happened after Charleston three years ago. Every day, for as long there is crime at night, we shall vote for one person who we think is responsible to walk the plank. This may be seemin' harsh, but it worked once before, and in truth it be the only way."

Everybody was silent after this, pondering on the meaning of what the Captain had just said.

"Come on, lads, the sooner we finish with this task, the sooner we can set our minds back to the drinkin' and whorin' awaitin' us once we get back to Nassau!"

That roused a cheer from the crew, and the voting was on.

OOC: It is now Day 2. Voting will last until Sunday, September 30th, at 23:00 US Eastern Time.

TinCow would be at the bottom of the ocean if I had attempted such a thing. I had no knowledge of any attack on TinCow.

Although I do note you're still alive, seemingly without incident.

Tincow was the one who was paying for the hit - on the condition of his Captaincy.

I be appreciatin' the gold piece ye tipped me, aye.

[TinCow]

As much as I would like to blame Zaccino and call for a mutiny, the hit on me was almost certainly designed as a frame job, though a rather obvious one.

[El Barto]

A mutiny? So early? That be strange. There be cannonballs on yon rack if necessary.

[TinCow]

Strange? The Captain gets a mighty nice salary and a nice safe bunk to sleep in. Why do you think I wanted the position in the first place? I will happily join in any mutiny whenever the rest of you get tired of Captain Boring.

[Montmorency]

Montmorency, why were you so disparaging of a protection offer last night? And why did you ask us to protect TinCow with such certainty of an attack coming to him? Why did you refuse to pay for protection after offering it in-thread?

I told you - I didn't need it anymore. Why would I pay for that which I don't require?

I'll have you know I protected Tincow myself, as you guys were too sore to accept my cash for that.


As much as I would like to blame Zaccino and call for a mutiny, the hit on me was almost certainly designed as a frame job, though a rather obvious one.


Who would do it? The Mafia need two to kill. There was only one attacker. It seems obvious that the only possibilities are the First Mate or an SK/Vig.

[El Barto]

unvote; vote: TinCow no mutination's allowed.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Strange? The Captain gets a mighty nice salary and a nice safe bunk to sleep in. Why do you think I wanted the position in the first place? I will happily join in any mutiny whenever the rest of you get tired of Captain Boring.

A bit premature for all that mutiny talk. lad. I for one want to see if Captain Boring also happens to be Captain Honorable.




Now then, the lying blaggard who is too chicken :daisy: to go a single day without begging for the mercy of protection from his mates, afear'd of ghosts n' spirits, making promises he doesn't deliver on, regardless of his true allegiance, is not a pirate to me, but a yellow-backed booby bird.

And I want to see the bird fly. TO THE PLANK WITH THIS LYING BASTARD!!!


Vote: Montmorency

[Montmorency]

making promises he doesn't deliver on

Aw, pity the poor little pirate, someone didn't keep his promise to personally deliver mushy gold applesauce directly to his ragged, scurvy-toothed mouth. :rolleyes:

You count yourself to be a real pirate then, lad?


ghosts n' spirits,

Eh?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Thanks for admitting to be a liar. Everyone heard your lies.

I could have been doing something more profitable, and instead you wasted my time cowering in a corner whimpering about needin' help protecting your sorry flea-bitten hind end. I don't want to hear another sound out of your gullet, except the sloshing sounds of blood gurgling within it!

Death to the lying traitors aboard this here ship!

[Zack]

Monty, what exactly is your strategy here?

[TinCow]

Who would do it? The Mafia need two to kill. There was only one attacker. It seems obvious that the only possibilities are the First Mate or an SK/Vig.

There's nothing in the write-up that makes me suspect the kill would have succeeded. Indeed, the fight seemed to be a stalemate before the protection trio showed up. Maybe I would have died without them, maybe not, it's impossible to tell from the information given. Given the number of inactives we have, it's entirely possible that it was a single mafioso whose partner did not show, or even a random solo townie.


A bit premature for all that mutiny talk. lad. I for one want to see if Captain Boring also happens to be Captain Honorable.

I'm not calling for a mutiny, I'm just letting it be known that, when the time inevitably comes, I remain willing to weigh myself down with the massive burden and great vulnerability for the good of you all. :yes:

[Montmorency]

I wasted your time, oh? Looks like none of us desired your services, then. The market's saturated, boyo.

But real pirates don't ask for handouts and complain about being unable to find paying work. Get thee gone, landlubber. Lily-livered poliwogs like you aren't good for this ship, it's crew, or the fine ladies of Nassau.

[Zack]

Hypothetically speaking, if a random solo townie attacked someone all by their lonesome, would such an action appear in the update?

Also, that could not possibly have been the only attack last night, could it?

[Zack]

I wasted your time, oh? Looks like none of us desired your services, then. The market's saturated, boyo.

But real pirates don't ask for handouts and complain about being unable to find paying work. Get thee gone, landlubber. Lily-livered poliwogs like you aren't good for this ship, it's crew, or the fine ladies of Nassau.
How about you stop being acting like something I probably shouldn't write here and get serious? Does that work for you?

[Montmorency]

It was. It's like Capo, and other games of its type, sure enough.

Your strategy is to sit on your gold hoard, Zaccino. That's fine.

[GeneralHankerchief]

All night attacks appear in the writeup, even if it's just one random townie attacking the Captain who's protected by literally every single other crewman on board.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm not calling for a mutiny, I'm just letting it be known that, when the time inevitably comes, I remain willing to weigh myself down with the massive burden and great vulnerability for the good of you all. :yes:

I read you loud and clear, my dear friend made of Tin. A perfectly honorable position to take.

Should some evil befall the Captain, you'd be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and take his place, fer the good o' the ship. It brings a tear to me eye, really.


Now then, I realize this lying little rat is an annoyance only to me and my few mates offerin' our services, but I ask ye all on this ship to bring him to justice, just this once. To serve as a warning, that if you offer gold in public fer somethin', ye don't back out of it. Thar be false advertisement, lads. Any Pirate Lawyer would rip open his belly and call it justice.

I respectfully request Monty's death, here today. And I would be grateful to all who supported me on this.

[Zack]

Please lynch Monty.

[Montmorency]

I really don't get you guys. I really don't. Sometimes it's not even clear that you understand where you are or what you are doing. :inquisitive:

[Askthepizzaguy]

I really don't get you guys. I really don't. Sometimes it's not even clear that you understand where you are or what you are doing. :inquisitive:

That's it lad, spit in the face o' yer jury. That's the smart move.

[Zack]

I really don't get you guys. I really don't. Sometimes it's not even clear that you understand where you are or what you are doing. :inquisitive:
Methinks ye deserve a smackin' upside the head with this here bottle o' rum fer yer insolence.

[Montmorency]

It's nice that you think two shipmates are the arbiters of all that goes on here.

There are 3 dozen pirates here.

[Askthepizzaguy]

My wager is if they were promised gold for services that had been rendered (meaning, all of us showed up and even sent the order already) and the person making the gold offer backed out, they would be demandin' not just a plank walkin, but to have the limey fool's head torn clean off!

The plank is too good for ye. Be grateful it's there.

[Montmorency]

I gave you plenty of notice, and even offered a different job.

Do you understand that, Pizza?



Nah, I'm out.


You backed out.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Fellas, I've got groups coming out of the woodwork here. I don't have time for mercenaries.

if you have a problem with that, take your "business" elsewhere.

You promised a certain amount of gold. Then you changed the amount of gold, and the target.

That's not backin' out, that's givin' you the finger for being a lying load of seagull poop.

In case you didn't know, lying to a cutthroat pirate isn't good for yer health.

[Montmorency]

perhaps you'll see a cent from me when you get around to actually getting work done that I need done.

And I promised 10 gold for my own protection, not another's.

Good day to you. :shrug:

[Askthepizzaguy]

And by the way, protectin' your sorry hind end might have been honest work. But when you said you had groups comin' out of the woodwork, and then offered us less gold than promised to protect someone who called for your own death, I smelled a rat. I'm not going to be a party to taking orders from someone with delusions of controllin' everyone on the ship. We've all had our fill o' that in recent history. If you wanted protection, fine, but I'm not going to be a pawn in Monty's game of givin' everyone orders. Yer not the captain, and I didn't vote for ye to be a leader. I have got my own ideas on how to survive and how to protect my gold, and I don't need to be part of group number three or four that you have sole command of, working toward yer own aims.

I'm offerin' protection, I'm not offerin' to put myself in chains and be at yer beck and call like a whipped dog. You want to pull that kind of stunt, I'll be the first to toss ye overboard.


And I promised 10 gold for my own protection, not another's.

And the protection was there. You changed the price after the work had already been accomplished. Changing the order to leave your sorry butt flappin' in the breeze was my only option, if I have any self-respect. Your lying carcass is nothin' but shark food to me.

And if my ship mates don't agree, I be takin' matters into me own hands tonight. And I'll be personally buyin' off your protection so nobody will be there to watch you squeal except me and my honest mates.

[Montmorency]

from someone with delusions of controllin' everyone on the ship.

Get a hold of yourself. You have the wrong idea.

[Xenoneb]

I would have to say that's pretty scummy. Vote:Monty

[Montmorency]

And the protection was there. You changed the price after the work had already been accomplished.

Of course, that's a great tactic: shine someone's shoes without personally setting down the deal, and then flip out when they refuse to pay.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Get a hold of yourself. You have the wrong idea.

There's really only one person on the ship who should be tellin' more than one group of able men what to do, and that's the Captain. And that's if we want the Captain to have total control. Now he's the Captain and I respect that, but the best person to tell me what to do to protect myself at night, when we're all supposed to be asleep, is me.

When the sun rises, I do what the Captain says, like everyone else on the crew. When it's nighttime, I'll be watchin' my gold or keepin' my ship mates from dying. Fer a price, of course. I got to earn a livin'.

Nobody, but nobody is gonna tell half the ship what to do with their free time. If we do that, we might as well hang up our bandanas, dump our gold overboard, and beg the whoever turncoats that might be on board this ship for safe passage to a rowboat so we can scamper from a fight with our breasts tucked neatly into our brassieres.

You say you weren't doin' this but you called for protection, and then a bunch of people apparently responded, and then you wanted to change orders and set some grand plan in motion. I say nuts to you, and die for your lyin' tongue.

[Montmorency]

Brassieres don't exist. You still have the wrong idea, by the way.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Brassieres don't exist. You still have the wrong idea, by the way.

Whatever. I don't have the power to see into men's souls.

All I can see is you made a promise, and we delivered, and then you changed the price and decided to start playin' Captain on yer own.

Where do you get off tellin' me to protect Tincow, for half the gold you promised me to protect you? If Tincow wants me help, he can ask for it. Tincow's the kind of lad I'd protect for free. But I'm not going to be told what to do by a man who breaks his word.

That alone is all I need to know about you. Now I can suffer your forked tongue no longer. Close your mouth and die in disgrace.

[Andres]

My gut tells me Montmorency is innocent.

Vote : Askthepizzaguy.

Can't put my hand on it, but something sounds off. You're trying too hard to Monty lynched; it's a thing mafiosi often do, because they have to fake their cases, since they know the person they're attacking in the thread is innocent.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hah! There's gratitude for ye.

[Diana Abnoba]

But as ya mentioned before how much are ya willing to pay for your protection?


10 gold, of course.


Anyone who would like to protect me should drop anchor at my bunk.


Ten gold, of course. This would be on top of the reward for a successful protection.

Only two votes to unseat Tincow, fellows.


I'm still interested in speaking with anyone who would be willing to protect me.


Of course, that's a great tactic: shine someone's shoes without personally setting down the deal, and then flip out when they refuse to pay.


This be the proof that ye be a lying sack of seagull poop. More then 4 times in thread (just went back 1 page), that you asked for protection and were willing to pay 10 extra gold on top of payment from the host for your protection, then backed out after the job was done. Very scummy even for a pirate.
Vote: Monty walk that plank.

[Montmorency]

I never promised to get protection from you, you rentseeker.

[El Barto]

There be ghosts and stuff aboard!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ky-gventQo

Now, Monty, ye scurvy cur, ye wanted us last night to protect yon TinCow for free, sounds as if you were trying to do the same a sin yon Capo Game, savvy? Except you be a scurvy cur who didna wanna pay, savvy? And it also be Captain's orders, so unvote; vote Montmorency, savvy?

[Montmorency]

I said: 5 gold for Tincow. Each.

Why do you guys feel the need to BS so much, eh?

I promised gold for protection. I was offered protection. I acccepted protection - just not from you.

I offered another job to keep you guys busy. You had 24 hours to think it over. You rejected it without a response - though Diana was good enough to consider it, at least.

As far as I see it, you guys are menaces. Vote: El Barto

[Askthepizzaguy]

What's with all that saavy talk? Are we the pirates o' the carribean now? :laugh4:

The only menace here is the boy who cried wolf. "Help me I need protection from the mean old Tincow! I'll pay you ten gold!"

When we arrive and protect his sorry hide, "Nevermind! I want you to protect mean old Tincow for five gold!"

It would be hilarious it it didn't make me so pissed off.

[El Barto]

Ye be far away from yer friends and relations, Montmorency. Beware of the black velvet band.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You'd have been safe if you kept your word on the ten gold part.

I'll protect a dead parrot, just pay me the money you promised.

[El Barto]

Monty dear, I be checking me messages and it be true, ye offered money for TinCow, but only after insulting us by proposing that we do it pro bono {sic}. Ye said: 'do you expect me to pay ye?' and we were revolted at yer cheapness. Captain's orders still be captain's orders.

[Askthepizzaguy]

WHAT IN THE BLAZES IS PRO BONO ANYWAY!?!?! THAT AINT NO PIRATE TALK!!!

[Montmorency]

I'll protect a dead parrot, just pay me the money you promised.

I promised 10 for Montmorency, but I ain't never made no promises for Tincow. So shove that crud.


Monty dear, I be checking me messages and it be true, ye offered money for TinCow, but only after insulting us by proposing that we do it pro bono

Alright, I insulted you for your redundancy. What, you want an apology?

[El Barto]

Ye treat us like tha' and expect us to take our votes off ye? Die, you scurvy cur, you mangy kid with an interfering dog!

[a completely inoffensive name]

4 Horsemen missed an opportunity to kill someone because they were too busy looking for someone to pay them and when TinCow didn't win, the plan fell through.

4 Horsemen are not supposed to play politics or be mercs. I am disappointed.

Figures, that's what happens when the new leader likes to make announcements like it's a grand opening.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm afraid I can't buy any rum with your apologies mate. I want money.

[Montmorency]

Too bad - I'm writing you out of my will.

[Diana Abnoba]

You know Monty, it is mainly the way you handled all of this. You got all defensive when all we were asking for was what YOU posted in thread several times. If you had just said thanks but I already got protection, but if you want I can have you protect player X... just a little common curiosity can go a long way. But instead you always get nasty, defensive, and pissy. Getting a little tired of it. You know when you piss in the wind, you can get some on yourself. So how does it feel, warm?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I promised 10 for Montmorency, but I ain't never made no promises for Tincow. So shove that crud.

Oh yeah?

I'll remove my vote when someone comes forward, three o them to be precise, and they all say they each got the ten gold you promised for yer protection.

It didn't happen, and you broke your promise to the mercenaries you hired and showed up to do the job. Now the mercenaries are going to kill you, one way, or the other.

You're dead Monty. I hope you can take yer ten gold you owe me with you to the bottom of Davy Jones' locker!

30 gold on a dead man's chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

I must say, I agree with the others above. ATPG seems to be trying a little too hard to get Monty lynched, even if he is giving his motive as punishment for reneging on a deal.

vote: ATPG.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yes. As mafia, I am so desperate to force a mislynch on round one, that I must invent a reason to lynch someone, based on vengeance for an event where I was lied to that actually, and coincidentally, happened.

Classic townie silliness. Logic doesn't begin to kick in for a few rounds so I guess I have to endure this nonsense.

I will try, very, very hard to be patient with you and not mock you.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Nah. I don't even buy that townies would behave like that. Here's what's happening: Monty is organizing groups and the members of his group are upset that I'm trying to lynch him, so they're all pretending that I'm "trying too hard" to get Monty lynched as payback for his lies, and that is somehow the behavior of Spanish people. You really have a lot of nerve. The difference being, I haven't once accused Monty of anything except what he's already admitted to, which is being a lying scoundrel. This whole "Pizza is acting off" nonsense is pure lies as well. All I see here is Monty's group turning around and retaliating for my vote on him. There's no actual suspicion on me whatsoever. I can't believe your scumdars are that terrible, even this early in the game. I see through this pathetic play acting.

I'm calling you out. Your lies are as paper-thin as Monty's. Andres, Chaotix. I may get lynched here today, but I know that this isn't actual scum-hunting going on, but it's poorly dressed up as such. I can see that words will be wasted on you, because if you're already involved in a larger group, then you'll outvote me regardless. And it's not as if your "suspicion" on me was genuine in the first place.

All I can do is curse you. I once thought this was a ship of honorable and brave men. But now I see a bunch of cowards crawling out from under the floor planks, defending their scoundrel fool ally with the only weapon cowardly men have, which is lies.

May your loyalty to a lying traitor yield the rotten fruit you deserve. Lying cowards, all of you, voting for me in Monty's defense. Burn in hades.

I spit on you, and pray that the Captain can steer this ship to safety in spite of you lot.

[Ishmael]

Wait, so you single out Chaotix and Andres but not me? I'm insulted, frankly. Lynch him!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Wait, so you single out Chaotix and Andres but not me? I'm insulted, frankly. Lynch him!

Your example was so obvious I felt it didn't even need to be pointed out.

Your post is a classic example. "Oh yeah I agree Pizza is totally what that other guy said".

Laughable.

[Ishmael]

Hey, I get money for voting. Plus, you implied that you'd be guarding your gold tonight, which obviously makes it harder for me to steal it.

[Visor]

ATPG, you can't call foul on others for lynching under the pretense of scum hunting (if you consider it that), if you are lynching a person under similar pretenses. Neither lynches are under the pretense of scumhunting.

I think both lynches are stupid, though the ATPG one less so, as it is more of a reactive thing, I suppose. There are better parties to lynch, then these two at the present moment, those who are ignoring the whole Monty/Pizzabnoba thing. Memnon, NinjaCow, Auto, etc.

As such, Unvote; Vote: NinjaCow you know better ya singing bugger.

I'd like to know what kind of results the First Mate gets for results to be honest, whether they be black/white, requiring further, or susceptible, etc.

[Askthepizzaguy]

ATPG, you can't call foul on others for lynching under the pretense of scum hunting (if you consider it that), if you are lynching a person under similar pretenses.

Only a blind fool would call it similar. A man made a public promise, reneged when the work was completed, and now I intend to bring him to justice for his lies. He even admitted his crime.

I ne'er called him a Spaniard. I called him many other things. But I dinnae lie about any of it.

On the other hand, you have him and his cronies besmirchin' my good name and defendin' their scoundrel brethren. False pretenses are only the beginning of their falsehoods. Now they be admittin' to being a bunch of thieves as well.

Ach, I'm wastin' my time talkin. I can see there's no gettin' through to folks who simply don't care about dishonorable acts anymore. I suppose this will be a ship of pirates that steal from each other and murder one another, instead of bringing about justice and ensurin' most of us get home rich and alive.

What a depressin' way to begin our voyage home.

[Choxorn]

I could tell ye about my scan, but then I'd have to kill ye, or at least do it after ye had consumed a large enough amount of rum.

Vote: Montmorency. I somewhat doubt he's a Spaniard, but he's a liar and a distraction in a very bad way, and at the very least he's a better lynch than anyone else at this point. If he be still onboard this ship tomorrow, we have some serious problems.

This is, for all intents and purposes, the day one lynch, and sadly enough, you're a better choice than any of the others, though I will grant you that Monty's behavior is strange.

His posts have shyster reasoning, it's Martha Burghes all over again XD

Nah. I don't even buy that townies would behave like that. Here's what's happening: Monty is organizing groups and the members of his group are upset that I'm trying to lynch him, so they're all pretending that I'm "trying too hard" to get Monty lynched as payback for his lies, and that is somehow the behavior of Spanish people. You really have a lot of nerve. The difference being, I haven't once accused Monty of anything except what he's already admitted to, which is being a lying scoundrel. This whole "Pizza is acting off" nonsense is pure lies as well. All I see here is Monty's group turning around and retaliating for my vote on him. There's no actual suspicion on me whatsoever. I can't believe your scumdars are that terrible, even this early in the game. I see through this pathetic play acting.

I'm calling you out. Your lies are as paper-thin as Monty's. Andres, Chaotix. I may get lynched here today, but I know that this isn't actual scum-hunting going on, but it's poorly dressed up as such. I can see that words will be wasted on you, because if you're already involved in a larger group, then you'll outvote me regardless. And it's not as if your "suspicion" on me was genuine in the first place.

All I can do is curse you. I once thought this was a ship of honorable and brave men. But now I see a bunch of cowards crawling out from under the floor planks, defending their scoundrel fool ally with the only weapon cowardly men have, which is lies.

May your loyalty to a lying traitor yield the rotten fruit you deserve. Lying cowards, all of you, voting for me in Monty's defense. Burn in hades.


Cut the :daisy: already, Pizza.

I never admitted to lying, for the simple reason that I never did any such thing. Don't make me go over this again - I need a working set of fingers to type.

Chaotix and Andres have nothing to do with me. There is no larger group. I participated in the one protection group for Tincow, and was myself protected by the other group. That's hardly a super-network going on there.

Come on Pizza, not even you could organize a bloc of 10+ voters in just one day. Not even if you tried. The point is, that's not what I'm interested in doing, and it hasn't been what I've been doing. Is that clear enough?

Unvote; Vote: AskthePizzaguy

Clearly, you and I can not coexist on one ship with you proving to be an utter enemy of reason and justice. I'm making this a choice between you and me.

Before you vote me for being treasonous to the Pirate State, think about the fact that you're following a BS line, to your own detriment. If one of you would like a restatement of points for distaste of wading, merely ask, receive, and then decide.
