    Fixed.

    EDIT: and confessing it in the thread is even more suspicious, I guess? Djeez, I killed a suspect. That's what pirates are supposed to do: killing suspects. Lynching is not the only way to do that. You're basically voting me because I've been handling "out of the box", not because you think I'm scum.

    When I advocated doing vig kills in Capo III in an early phase of the game, I heard the same stuff; town would never had won that game without a couple of vig hits.

    Besides, I do out of the box stuff plenty of times. Just not on night one. When townie.

    You mean like my night one kill of Quintus, who was nothing but townsperson?

    It wasn't your fault Khaan....I helped and I was "Incorruptible"

    I am not a fan of a Vig group on day one. We should wait for three days at least before we start killing unless you have some pretty strong "Evidence".

    No, what worries me, is a rogue town group forming. We all know this game is a contest between townies as well as between mafia and town. So I consider it my duty to suppress any rogue town group from forming. Sasaki and Andres both openly call for mutiny. Which, however one may feel about it, is waaay too early. They have a vig group. They stubbornly refuse to give names. There are things about Andres PMs that are not cleared up entirely.
    And are we sure they are not infiltrated or about to be recruited by maven/english?


    I won't vote the vig group. I do not kill town. But I will be keeping a close watch on them.
    Sasaki, Andres, AVSM, pevergreen, Jolt. They showed courage last night, I don't think they be afraid to have it known.

    No one is voting mutiny, we just be talking, tis the pirate way.

    The things about andres's pm's/kukri etc should be cleared up.

    Nein. I posted ze math already. Random vig killing is beneficial to the town--though I don't really support it because it seems lame. Vig killing for good reason is fine night one. Worked well in rubicon too.

    Random vig killing by everyone in the game would almost certainly cripple both mafia families and end this voyage rather quickly. I myself haven't suggested it because it seem to be game-breaking. The sheer amount of kills done by the town would have rather excellent odds of hitting a traitor, and they would happen too fast fer the traitors to do serious recruiting. There's also seemingly no incentive to not do kills, as doing them doesn't bring you closer to being mafia, as in Capo. Yarrrr.

    I already gave my reasoning : Grizzly lied about the pm's; instead of wasting a round on the inevitable lynch of a liar (it's not like catching somebody in a clear lie would not have been the best case we would have had round 1), we took matters in our own hand.

    Pirates need to kill suspects. I did just that, but I used the vig kill instead of the lynch. I think I've said it earlier in this game: why should we not use all means at our disposal? Vig kill is a powerful tool and Grizzly was a good target.

    Another point of consideration is that Vig Kills are not necessarily a step towards evil, as in Capo III.

    The only way the Vig Kills will be detrimental, is that:

    No.1: They are headed towards a treasure "personal victory"
    No.2: They are scum who are trying to reduce the number of the town even more

    Although Point 1 is rendered somewhat ineffective as protections are more efficient in the dollar returns.

    Still... there are two sides of the coin as to whether the vig kills are beneficial now, but the point is still moot.
    You cannot add days to life but you can add life to days.

    *sigh*

    My own death is acceptable, I didn't aim for it but I had some entertainment with it and got to be the centre of attention so it wasn't all that bad...

    Now Woad&Fangs is on the chopping block I feel a little guilty... its all well and good getting myself killed, but getting someone else killed trough my messing around would make me feel bad...

    So I can't give away my role but Im assuming I can explain the rational behind my posts....

    Firstly my original post about sasaki lying was more of a joke than anything else, I included the laughing smiley in there for a reason (i never once laugh at my own jokes) of course sasaki then came along and said i would claim it was a joke which was a smart move as it gave me no explanation to my actions... I though about extending the joke to include a comment about the terrible spelling and grammar in the post but didn't think i could pull off good enough spelling and grammar in the post to make the joke work....

    Look at how that post is constructed, by my standards thats top class written English (i deleted the spelling and grammar joke off the end)

    Then onto this post

    I be a downright dirty decieving pirate....

    Did anyone else notice that post was filled with my attmept at roleplaying... im pretty sure pirates are decietful liars... unfortunately I don't think anyone took this meaning from this...

    But roleplaying aside... why the heck would call it a fake and then admit it was not if i wasn't messing around...

    Its hardly if at that point people were piling the pressure on calling it out as a real PM i wrote, sasaki's pretty skilled im sure he could have faked such a pm convo from me if he needed to (he probably wouldn't this early though)

    As best I can remember thats about it... you could always wait to see my post mortem results to check out what I am. Unfortunately the sharks smell blood and thier not letting up... be careful its not your gold thier after next time...

    Lastly, apologies woad&fangs.. looks like I may have got you killed... (i probably owe the rest of the town an apology for making this some of the most useless opening rounds from the towns point of view in recent times)

    Unless anyone has any questions about what I said I'll leave it there as it looks like im not helping at all anyway... good luck and happy plundering!

    YARRRR thar be no significant difference between protection and killin', gold-wise.

    You need 4 fer killin, result is 40/4 people. 10 each. Minus any fer a fifth member.
    You need 3 fer protectin', result is 30/3 people. 10 each. Minus any fer a fourth.

    I don't really care why he's right. I'll take what me can get. So long as the end result is good fer this ship, I've suddenly stopped carrrrrrin' about his methods.
