Night 0
The dawn bell did not have a chance to ring on the Presence this morning. Everyone was aroused far earlier, courtesy of the piercing scream of one of the ship's watchstanders. Naturally, the crew was a bit annoyed, but they were too hung over and sleepy to overtly grumble. However, they were quickly shaken out of their stupor upon the sight that greeted them: Their captain, the same man that brainstormed the wildly successful attack on Charleston - dead, with a British flag painted on his chest.
Quickly, the men started cursing. There was no quicker cure for a terrible hangover than a terrible shock to the system, after all. Eventually, cursing turned into shouting, and shouting turned into drawn cutlasses. Surely, the British agents could have sat back and just watched as the crew sliced each other to pieces, but it was not to be.
"No!" one able seaman cried, one who had shown barely enough intelligence to carry a broom and sweep it in the past. Surprised by his own bravery, he continued on. "This be just what the scumbucket scallywags want us to do! Nay, I'll not see our haul be put in danger just because of a bit o' adversity! We be needin' to organize! We be needin' to elect a new Captain. It's just what the old man would've wanted us to do!"
Ashamed by itself (and still a bit shocked that their fellow sailor had been able to not only form an intelligent thought but eloquate it as well), the crowd slowly fell silent in agreement. He was right, after all. The Presence was under attack, and everybody worth their salt knew that a ship in battle without a captain was a ship soon to be sunk, or worse.
The Stewards and Watchstanders, currently the senior officers on the ship, started counting votes. Since the majority of the pirates were illiterate, they each swore oaths to be true with their counts, to the best of their knowledge.
"Now remember gents," one said, "if ye be elected Captain, it be yer prerogative to appoint a First Mate and Quartermaster, and replace them at will. Ye also be gettin' a set salary o' 15 pieces of treasure per day. Ye forfeit yer vote, except in the instance of a tie where you and yer officers have tiebreakin' authority. Should the three of ye be deadlocked still, then ye have final say over who walks the plank. Any questions, the lot o' ye?"
A resounding "nay" came out from the crowd.
"Good," said the man. "THEN GET VOTIN', YE RUSTY SCUPPERS, AND DON'T TAKE ALL DAY EITHER! THERE'S STILL WORK TO BE DONE!"
The men scurried every which way. The fight for the Presence was on.
OOC: It is now Day 1. As stated above, your only task today is to vote for a Captain. Votes must be lodged in the following way:
Select: GeneralHankerchief
Vote changes must be made like so:
Unselect: GeneralHankerchief
Select: TosaInu
You will be rewarded 3 pieces of treasure for lodging a legal vote. Voting will last until 12:01 PM, Wednesday September 30th, US Eastern time. Not all rounds will be this long, but as this is the very phase exceptions will be made.

Ahoy, me hearties!

Indeed, such a pirate I be that I have been honored with me own pirate animated gif:
Who among ye can say the same? None, verily!
But I be not just a pirate of firm character, but a relentless hunter o' our enemies, the British and the Maven pirates. I have been on many a voyage and have a keen eye for those who would do us in.
Proclaim me your new captain and I shall hunt our enemies to the ends of the earth!
Let us begin with a hearty Yo ho ho ho! Select me, lads, and ye will be happy ye did!

Nay! Vote not for these other landlubbers and traitors! Vote for me, TinCow! I may not have these fancy "geefs" that others do, but I have one thing that I know will prove my dedication to the Pirate Code better than anything else...
My anniversary is on International Talk Like a Pirate Day! That's right! September 19th is the anniversary of my first date with my wife! In fact, the only way I ever even remember what day my anniversary is on is because of Talk Like a Pirate Day! International Talk Like a Pirate Day has saved my marriage! Surely that is proof enough that I am a true Pirate at heart and will do all in my power to bring us all booty (it certainly got me some nice booty)!
Select: TinCow
(Note: True, it's just the dating anniversary, not the wedding anniversary... but cut me some slack, let's see YOU convince your fiancee to get married on International Talk Like a Pirate Day.)

Ye reek of limes to me, ye metal cow! Only a British agent would think of International Talk Like a Pirate day as merely a way to remind himself of his first date anniversary! What foppery, says I!

Avast lads!
Crazed Rabbit is a hearty soul, and we'd do well enough with him to navigate these murky waters ahead. Tincow's a stout one as well, no doubt, but I've never seen the Rabbit quit -- e'en when he's half-dismasted, in irons and down to steel and pistol only.
For now, I say Select: Crazed Rabbit.
Now, as a side note, I'd like to offer me own services in a bit of lawyerin'. Now most of you know that I never did GET that law degree on account of a bit of disagreement betwixt myself and one of those pettifogging professors -- curse the breed -- regarding the affections of one of the soiled doves what lived near Trinity. I do remember enough to help with a bit a will writin' for those of you who can't be bothered or can't make nought but a mark. I'll keep it simple, a flat 1 gold to write it up. If you wan't me to keep it updated just toss me a couple of more -- and I'll keep it up to snuff even if your still in your hammock and drunk as a lord.
OOC
Crazed Rabbit: Every game I've played/hosted with him, the fellow does NOT quit. This latest Capo he survived at LEAST a week longer than he should have, knew he was on borrowed time, and never stopped trying to change the odds in his favor. Good enough for me unless I hear better.
Yes, I will do wills for you if you like, updating things based on changes you send my way. Yes you COULD do it yourself, but I'll be able to update them even if your "off" somewhere (vacationing, sobering up, lurking like a big dog). 1G for a will with orders of preference; 3G and I'll keep updating it etc. according to your wishes even if you're not there.

A pirate who doesn't have to pay fer his booty, that's who! Ye can share yer scurvy, lice-ridden wenches with the dirty landlubbers who be plundering her 'wares nightly while yer at sea, but my sea-wife was stolen fair and square from the house of the Governor of Barbados himself! If ye'd plundered the booty of a Governor's wife, ye'd have no more desire for the lowly favors of the same wenches who serve any who cross their hands with silver.Ye be a scurvy bilge rat! What true pirate worries about remembering the anniversary of his first date? What pirate has a "wife" and not an assortment of wenches at the nearest bar?
Vote TinCow fer Captain! He steals his women like a proper pirate and doesn't have to resort to pay fer their favors! Under my watch, we'll raid every Governor's house north of the equator! All yer bastards will be heirs to fabulous wealth and fortune, and ye won't have to worry about the French Pox every time ye go to bed!
Yarrgh...
Whilst my fellow pirates deal with this, can any of yer sea-rats tell me where be my drink...?
*silence*
Give me my drink I say, or face me cutlass!
In the name of thar Pirate's Code, I demand that yer tell me!
