Pirate Ship Mafia III [Concluded]

[Double A]

Hey, so, if there are any power roles around that feel comfortable revealing to me, that'd be pretty cool. If you'd rather wait for my first mate to investigate me a lot, or investigate him, I wouldn't be terribly offended.

I'm also willing to work with any neutral third parties if your VCs have even the slimmest potential to not conflict with the town's, even if they're absolutely ridiculous, because I am nothing if not a student of Pizzaguy.

[Ishmael]

vote: Kill

elect: Double A

Same reasoning as earlier with regards to Andres, and Double A seems as good a choice as any.

[Double A]

GH has just informed me that I must pass on my pair of boots because it would be too op for a nigh-unkillable character to have them.

At least one of you wants it. You know where my PM box is.

[spaceman98]

I'll state outright that I considered going for the captaincy - but eventually figured it'd not be worth it regardless of whether I'd get the votes or not.

If any of ye want to hunt down some frenchman, or protect some pirates, come to me, I've got people who want to do both looking for groups.

I will say thatI heavily distrust ATPG and Curio, and think Andres should be killed. There is no reason to spare Andres at all.

Agreed.

vote: kill

and if Anders survives today, I'd be up for vigging him

elect: Double A for captain. Curio's in-thread behavior has been more questionable IMO

On the other hand, I oppose killing ATPG. He's been relatively townie in thread so far, and he's intresting to have around. Let him live.

Like all the mutineers were my puppet?

I voiced what everyone was thinking. You can feel free to make me the scapegoat - but I'll keep shouting my outspoken opinions until the cows come home.

And the cows can't swim so I might be shouting a while.

now now Visor, what did we say about hearing mooing at sea? Beware the Kraken.

I 'organised' the vigilante groups. By 'organise' I mean I pmed people and said 'hey do you wanna kill people' and they were like 'sure'.

I suggested killing lurkers first up but we got a lot of people in the groups. I wanted to kill TFT and Ice - but figured Ice was returning so we didn't end up killing him.

ATPG was going to be busy and well I couldn't kill anyone who agreed to kill people with me so I went after spaceman who had 1 post and ATPG because I didn't want to kill Gaius.

(This is a basic run down of course).

If Andres doesn't die here, he's dying tonight. So its no skin off my back.

I expect being public about this will elicit the wrong response and people will be like hurr durr, he's trying to kill people he must be french even though hes stuck his neck out a stupid amount and didn't push for captaincy despite having a reasonable chance to get it, etc, etc.

But meh. I'd look at Lissa, Ironside, Curio and ATPG next after Andres.

So you were the one who targeted me.... thought so... Just don't do it again


Also, I said that I was traveling, and didn't have internet access. You know full well that I don't lurk D1 under normal circumstances regardless of allignment.

Right, who thinks which sea dogs are the sea doggiest? I'm thinking notjim, Xiahou, Zack, and Visor, but all debate is welcome on this matter.

not Xiahou.

He be known, for what it's worth. Curio I am not sure about.

[Lissa]

"You know better that that, why you tellin white lies? *Squawk*"



"No explanation? Was one needed? On the basis of what has been provided in terms of captain votes, It didn't seem to be the case. But for the curious, Choxorn is someone I can work with. *Squawk*"

not literally NOTHING, but not much that I know of.

it seemed like an odd choice.

vote: kill

[Sprig]

And so he has himself has made clear to me :lol:

"Arhhh Unelect: Choxorn; Elect: BSmith *Squawk*"

[Askthepizzaguy]

Visorslash.

You go ahead and tell the group what, exactly, you think I've done which is suspect.

Hopefully it will convince someone to take a look at me or take me out at night. But more importantly than that, since I am a loyal seaman, I want to know what is the source of your suspicion, in great detail.

You deserve a little suspicion as well at this point, but let's talk about me first.

[NotJimRV]

vote: kill

Why is anyone voting spare? Get some (delayed) flips happening from voting patterns imo.

elect: Double A

Seems fine to me, getting a weak inno vibe from his most recent posts.

[seireikhaan]

Vote: Spare


Elect: Double A


Didn't think Andres was any great lynch to begin with, and that hasn't changed.

Well, I disagree with who you're supporting and you have different reads to me which is strange as we're normally on similar pages most of the time.

Some of the things you've said to me sound exactly the kind of things you would as mafia - I can't really explain this one - call it a gut read.

I'd be interested to see what suspiscion you think I deserve. I've been rather.. openly aggressive in the game wouldn't you say? What do you think that means for my alignment?

[Visor]

I'd like to know why you think they're "fine". I think you, Zack and Monty are all still suspects.

Vote: spare
Elect: Andres
I haven't seen a good reason to elect AA other than the say so of people I don't particularly trust.
I still think Andres has the right mentality to be captain... but he's not likely to win- or even survive for long.

Zack stuck his neck out along with me to mutiny Kage. Monty has been rather fanatical about his beliefs. I don't feel like I'm being deceived by either of them.

Why are we suspects in your mind?

[Visor]

Part of the reason I trust Zack is that we both know whats its like to be lied to in tight situations - hell it happened to me last PS mafia.

He was a big supporter of the mutiny in private with me and we both went and stuck out our necks massively with no entirely solid support behind us, and a failed mutiny basically guarantees our non survival this game.

Big risks by townies which is why we're good captaincy/officer material + likely townies IMO. If we don't reach the cap we basically never get the mutiny votes - and we didn't have the guaranteed support anyway.

^^ Basically this.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Hour and 45 minutes remaining. Host's tally has Double A being elected Captain by a wide margin and 13-7 in favor of sparing Andres.

This game is a little different. Regular folks who gain a bunch of gold don't really have to care about the French hunt that much.

Personally as long as they let me amass some gold I don't care what they do, and I'll say that open and plain as day.

Andres appears to be on that wavelength, and frankly my only issues with Kage were related to was a centralized effort fun or not. He didn't look scummy to me and most of the reasons behind the mutiny felt contrived, as I said. And that's all well and good, if it were really just about gold. Then whatever, the Captain slot is the suicide slot at that point, and makes for easy pickings for gold hungry people.

I don't have any / many scum readings because I'm not looking for them. I am noticing certain folks behaving in a manner which seems consistent with my own viewpoint, and I think it's riskier to take that track than to make a pretense about being gung ho about groups and protections and vigs and whatnot, dressing up one's act to look like you're hunting scum seems pro-town on the surface but it's all too expected. And boring. Humorless is the word.

You don't usually find me suspicious until I do something suspicious which you can articulate. That's the big red flag. You never have simply a gut read on me.

That's bogus. That's the first thing you've actually done this game which doesn't smell right.

You being openly aggressive and swatting down the scummy idea I shared with you privately about actually working with the French to get their gold since they probably don't care about it, feels like you're forcing it.

By that I mean, I'm carefree and I can leave this ship anytime I want with my life and my meager amount of gold so far, and that would be a better ending for me than any poor schlubb that gets his neck ripped in half or stabbed or shot or cannonball-to-the-faced, regardless of how much gold they amass before they die.

You, on the other hand, feel like you're trying to put on that pro-town persona, and being aggressive or a risk taker isn't outside of your scum meta.

Your suspicion on me as a gut feeling is a lie. You know exactly what I did that's scummy and you know how to articulate it, if you're a townie.

You can assemble another vig group and kill me if you like. I'm demanding zero murder protection this game, I don't want it, don't care.

But you, Visor, are fake.

Hey Kermit, you know what? Why don't we ask GH if you can't set up an anonymous QT with me. I wanna talk with you.

Day 2a

It had been an extremely strange 24 hours for Double A. Having first been appointed to the rank of Quartermaster the previous evening, he had spent the night witnessing an argument several people unhappy with the outcome of the Captain election and Kagemusha himself. Some of the more vocal parties in the argument had insinuated mutiny should Kage not lead to their satisfaction, and an official mutiny was thus instigated early on the next day.

Almost instantly the other two officers in Double A's regime - Kage and Andres - came under heavy fire. The mutiny started out strong, stalled in the afternoon, and then surged to become an inevitably by the end of the day. Andres, meanwhile, was not spared. Despite the mutiny currently brewing, there was still a regularly-scheduled execution to be carried out, and the First Mate looked like the obvious target. As a full three quarters of the crew of the Presence descended upon their Captain and cut him to pieces, Andres could only watch in horror. He knew he was next.

Despite this, Double A somehow came out of the mutiny not just as the only officer seemingly unblemished, but also as the leading candidate for the next Captain! As the votes started rolling in, he couldn't help himself from laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. Truly, pirates were the most fickle of creatures.

A moderate challenge from Curio as the "outsider" candidate proved little competition. Double A, disgraced ex-Quartermaster as of merely a few hours before, was swept into office as Captain with a huge margin of victory under his belt. He noted with some pleasure that Andres had survived his execution vote - apparently, the mutineers' bloodlust had been sated for the time being.

"I, uh..." Still not quite believing the situation he was in, Double A wasn't quite sure where to begin. "I, uh... thanks? I guess?" Some of the crew shifted around uncomfortably. This was it?

"Anyways, yeah, I promise to be a good Captain who be listenin' to and respectin' the opinions of his crew and all that, and makin' sure we be gettin' the most out of our haul from New Tortuga. Any questions, or if anybody needs to see me tonight, ye know where to find me."

"Captain, who be your officers?" The tension in the air was palpable. Surely he wouldn't pick Andres, would he?

"Ah, right. That. I hereby name NotJimRV as me First Mate and Visorslash as Quartermaster. Any other questions? Right, try not to kill each other tonight and see you all in the morning." And with that, Double A and his new officers retired for the evening.

Day 2a tally:
Captain election:
Double A: 14 (Double A, TheFlax, landlubber, Visorslash, Zack, autolycus, Choxorn, Ishmael, NotJimRV, seireikhaan, BSmith, Lissa, Golden1Knight)

BSmith: 1 (Sprig)
Andres: 1 (Xiahou)

Spare Andres: 13 (Golden1Knight, Gaius Scribonius Curio, Ituralde, Double A, TheFlax, Ironside, landlubber, El Barto, Zack, autolycus, Xiahou, seireikhaan, BSmith)
Kill Andres: 7 (Visorslash, Sprig, Choxorn, Ishmael, spaceman98, Lissa, NotJimRV)

OOC: It is now Night 2. Please send in your orders. Night 2 will conclude on Thursday, October 1st, at 22:00 US Eastern Time.

I have foreseen this.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Care to enlighten us as to what exactly you have foreseen... and why it bothers you..?

[Montmorency]

The sparing of Andres, primarily on the basis that he will be fun to have around.

[Double A]

Right, lads, I know most of you don't give a rat's ass about finding the Frenchman.

I honestly can't promise you guys much, but I have a sneaky feeling that Pirate Ship Mafia 4 will be a hell of a lot different than what we're used to if the Frenchman wins. I, for one, want to keep taunting history, and make the tail end of this age last a little longer. Anyone else interested in slightly more than gold is welcome to PM me.

[El Barto]

If ye be a Captain, ye ought to behave like one. Savvy?

Why is anyone voting spare? Get some (delayed) flips happening from voting patterns imo.

I meself, fer one, be votin' whamever Curio tells me ta.

[Double A]

Based on recent precedent, that would involve getting myself thrown overboard.

[El Barto]

I be all in fer tha' -in any game!

What are you, some kind of turbulent priest?
