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.

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!

He has spoken! Come, brothers, let us build a glorious future together! It is only through acknowledging his supremacy that you might be saved!

[BSmith]

Elect: Zaccino

[Arjos]

That sounds good!

Elect: TinCow

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]

Getting this out of the way now...

I shall happily accept bribes for the positions of First Mate and Quartermaster.

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.

I'm perfectly well aware of the rules regarding bribes. I am, as always, legally corrupt.

I know what I'm doing. Of thirty souls, will any do right by me?

Vote: Issaikhaan

I know what I'm doing.

No, you don't.

OOC: It is now Day 1. As stated above, you will not be voting someone to walk the plank

[Montmorency]

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

[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?

[Ishmael]

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'm a poor destitute seaman, with a mere pile of gold that doubles as my bed to my name, and so I need the job. Donations are also welcome.

[Zack]

Ye seasick landlubbers. TinCow wants ye to pay him, not the other way arrrrrrround. Yarr.

[Choxorn]

In the interests of not putting all my eggs in one basket, I shall Elect: Zaccino, and later bribe TinCow for the position of Three Eighths Mate if he wins.

[El Barto]

Erect: Zaccino Belay that! I be selling me vote in this Erection. I be wanting to be paid in gold.

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.

Ye can join their pairty wivou' ye becoming a horseman, mate. What good would a horse do on board, but increase expenses from feeding it?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Voting closed.

[Montmorency]

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

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.
