You name it, we name our price.
What don't we do?
We don't ask questions.
What do we care for?
Gold. In our pockets.
What are we looking for?
Ruthless pirates who want to do anything for gold.
First come, first served. No questions asked. All we want is reliability during the night and a lust for gold.
Who to contact?
if you can't figure out who to contact, then don't bother.
Im joining the company of Andres as i have no wish to attend a sunday school, but stick to what we are.
In any case. I will not be betting more against nothing for the captaincy.if you want to give it to the whippersnapper go ahead. My officers for the moment have been picked and as the opposite party is not giving anything for the captaincy at least in the open. I simply dont care. Do as you please.
Convincing as that was, my vote stays.Quote:

Voting closed.
vote: GH
Day 1
Unlike the previous two occasions where the Presence had elected a new Captain immediately after scoring a big haul, there were no real, true speeches promising lots of gold for everyone and a safe voyage home by prospective candidates for the captaincy. Perhaps it was that, after all these years, the crew had become jaded to that sort of high-minded rhetoric. Perhaps they all knew the stakes and thus no speeches were needed. Or perhaps - and possibly the most likely explanation - they had simply shifted their priorities, and now valued gold above all else.
As the day went on, voting coalesced around three candidates, and then eventually two: NotJimRV and Kagemusha. Kagemusha, perhaps attempting to tap into what he believed to be the prevailing motivator among the rest of the crew, promised riches and booty aplenty to those who voted for him, including shares out of his own stash simply for ensuring his election that day.
"How much be ye willing to part with?" asked one sailor, eager for specifics.
"One piece of treasure for each person who votes for me," Kage replied. "All for nothing except writin' down me name on that piece of parchment. Easiest money you'll ever make, mateys!"
"One piece of treasure?" There was general grumbling about this. "Why, that be the worst 'bribe' I've ever seen! Those miserly, stick-up-the-rear Brits are more generous when returning favors than that!"
They now turned to the other potential candidate, NotJimRV. "Kage be offering a measly one piece of treasure for each of us that vote him. Can ye match or top that?" NotJim immediately took the occasion to launch into a long and impassioned speech about how there would be no bribery aboard *his* ship and that he would do things right and honorable and focus on eliminating any and all threats aboard and that this was clearly the sensible path to take because there was certainly no point in acquiring all this treasure if you weren't around to spend it and his first priority would be getting everyone home safe.
Naturally, all of the eager crewmen groaned. Kage's one-gold bribe aside, it looks like they were going to have to earn their money the hard way.
At the end of the day, Kagemusha won the closely-contested race by a mere one vote. Briefly acknowledging NotJim in the spirit of competition, he took to address the rest of the crew. "Right then laddies, I think ye for yer faith and trust in my abilities. Under my captaincy I pledge to work me hardest to ensure that the gold continues to flow fast and free towards all of us!" General cheering at this last remark. There was a pause. "Oh, and obviously, uh, hunt down and kill any who would seek to do us harm from within too." Somewhat muted cheering at this one. Obviously the crew had their own priorities.
"Who be assisting ye in this endeavor?" somebody called out.
"Right!" Kage said. "Henceforth, to aid me in my efforts of... fair... distribution, I hereby appoint Andres as me First Mate and Double A as the Quartermaster." Both men walked up alongside Kage, looking pretty pleased with themselves that they were able to get in on the Kage-for-Captain bandwagon early. "Now then, final orders of business. If ye have night duties, see they're performed as usual! Otherwise, below decks with ye. We all have work to do tomorrow!"
And so the men of the Presence retired for the night, at least temporarily. They would shortly find out exactly who was threatening the ship this time around.
Day 1 tally:
Kagemusha: 12 (Double A, Andres, Kagemusha, BSmith, spaceman98, Csargo, seireikhaan, Ituralde, Choxorn, Ironside, Flax, autolycus)
NotJimRV: 11 (NotJimRV, Ishmael, Visorslash, Montmorency, Lissa, johnhughthom, Golden1Knight, Gaius Scribonius Curio, Zack, landlubber, El Barto)
Andres: 1 (Xiahou)
seireikhaan: 1 (Sprig)
Xiahou: 1 (Askthepizzaguy)
Didn't vote: 2 (Ice, TFT)
It is now Night 1. Please send in your orders. Night 1 will conclude on Sunday, September 27th, at 20:00 US Eastern Time. Note: Not all night phases will be this long! In the future it would be wise to have all night activities planned out and organized ahead of time to ensure successful execution of orders.

Errata: For those coming from other forums, talking at night in the public thread (as well as privately, obviously) is allowed.
Furthermore, wills matter! Don't forget to send them to me by PM if you want some of your gold to be passed on to other sailors in the event of your death. :yes:
Arrr! Be carousin' allowed?
I'll treat it as "sleep" in terms of a night action (you get the 2 gold for submitting an order but nothing else), but I'll make sure the feedback PM indicates the distinction. :tongue:Quote:

To all crew members. If you are planning to form night action groups, please contact me, so we can coordinate all efforts. Name your group members and your preference for what you would like to do the coming night. Please do so during the next 16 hours starting from now. Those who have not contacted me after that. I will assign you to an group.
A request: I like knowing things. If you've got a Quicktopic or something similar, kindly send me the link to it so I can stay in the loop for my own game. :laugh4:
My god, I've become twins at the age of 32!!!Quote:

As long as there be some gold coming my way I am all for it!
What if we're making a group to steal all of your gold?Quote:

I recommend the first mate investigate Kage and the quartermaster asap. Verify that the Captain and his buddies are trustworthy if they want to run the show.
An' o' course, if'n when it be discovered that Doble A be nae trustworthy, then we replaces him with someone with more nautical experience. Arr!
You're assuming that the first mate is trustworthy.Quote:

Zack old mate. We are not going to open our playbook to the Frenchies in the public. I am not yet scanned, but nor are you yet. I know that there are some of you who are itching to get inside of all things, but first show loyalty and we will see if you are worthy. And to everyone else. Yes. Loyalty is going to be rewarded with gold.Quote:

Scan me as well tonight if you want, but kage needs to be investigated tonight, and ideally the quartermaster should be investigated soon. I'm just some guy, verifying the captain's allegiance is much more important than mine.
Yeah, we need to know the brass is clean before we strike south.Quote:

That gives them an unwarranted sense of entitlement and authority, an affliction I vaguely recall being afflicted with many times.

I dont tell ya how to play, but il pay you gold for your efforts.We are crew afterall arent we?Quote:

That way, it's actually a surprise what happens next.
I should just leave this vessel with my gold tonight, but, I'd rather die a Pirate's death, with my cannonballs intact.
Yarr.
It's been a pleasure.
Ah, the matter o me Will.
I'm keepin it! :2thumbsup:
Just for the record. I aint after Pizza, those who are ,think again whats the sense in such?
Not me or my group. Doubt anyone attacks Pizza N1 anyway - probably a lie to throw protection people off if those are the rumours you've been hearing.
Yeah, I agree. I asked Andres to scan me and Kage tonight. I'd like you and Visor scanned tomorrow, but I don't feel like either of you is scummy. It's still nice to have assurances.Quote:

And you asked me why I wanted to be scanned. :rolleyes:
Just replace the first mate/quartermaster everyday. easy.Quote:

We are free men! We are bound to no captain. You are elected by us, remember that kagey. :evil:
I am trying to lead this ship. Was that not the job i was elected into Visor or have you had bit too much of Rum? While i seem to have some bit reluctant crew members on my hands. I promise to do my best so we can get rid of any enemies for the ships security.Quote:

French. Trying to coordinate is something entirely different rather then micromanage. Did i not ask for you to tell me about the plans of your clique Zack and Visor? What did you tell me? Nothing. Now that im trying to set up tasks based on what limited information i have you accuse me of micromanagement. Why dont you just cool your heads and wait for tomorrow?
You haven't told us anything about what you're doing. Why should we tell you?
Il tell you when you have been checked. Or walk you to the Sea if you are Frenchie.Quote:

But you expect everyone to spill everything to you, even though you're not checked either?Quote:

You know why i asked this? Because Visor,Zack and their bunch doesnt want to protect people, but to kill them, even with WOG in place. Now i would understand robbing people, but no this fellows want taste of blood. There´s perfect material for the frenchies to hire. Or am i wrong?Quote:
