Pirate Ship Mafia III [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

Here's where I'm at.

I like Double A, and I like having him as Captain. I don't mind the inquisition by his administration as they pretty much have to. I just mind the poor conclusions being drawn. Reading up, looks like it could be a bad idea to defend Xiahou, but I'll do it anyway. I think it's possible his gold adds up, and his responses under pressure look fine to me. If he turns out to be French, I'll leave the ship. I'm not voting for him today and I encourage others not to.

Here's my main complaint: The tension on the ship.

I don't want to be sailing on this vessel for a fortnight and only hear one thing: You're French, you're effing French!

I'd rather talk about something else! SOMETHING MUCH MORE PIRATE-Y!!!

I'll offer 10 gold to each and every single person who delivers me the head of our quartermaster, Visorslash. If ye be brave, and wanting of gold, and feel like you can face the mighty quartermaster with only your swords drawn, and the inherent semi protection he gets, then ye be the kind of pirate I want on board.

Visor tried to incite violence against me and FALSELY accused me of being French, and hates the fact that I'm a red blooded Pirate who wants gold more than I give two solid fecal segments about finding the French, and worst of all, he's got it in his head that he's some kind of hero.

UGH!

HOW REVOLTING!!!!

He's jailing people without reason, broadcasting their approximate gold totals, and inciting lynches on my dearest Xiahou, who I trust very much for no apparent reason not to be French.

It makes me stomach turn, it does.

I don't like anything he's doing, and I don't like his un-piratical attitude. He might not even be French, but he irritates me more than they do.

So, just to put the fear of God into 'im, I'm offering this bribe.

CONTACT ASKTHEPIRATEGUY IN PRIVATE TO IDENTIFY YOUR INTENTIONS SO YOU CAN BE JUSTLY PAID FOR THIS BRAVE DEED!!!

And should Visor wimp out and try to get me lynched as a consequence of this very Piratical deed, I have but one thing to say: I'm not French, never were, never will be, and furthermore, I'm not anything else either. When gone am I, and three days have past, you will see.

And then you can make amends to me in a very, very simple way.

Cannonball to his face, point blank range.

There be exactly one person who can convince me to withdraw this bounty. Captain Double A, come see me in private if you want to negotiate.

Otherwise, the bounty be on his head.

You have my word of honor as a Pirate that this be what lie in my cold, black heart. YARRR!!!

If you love gold so much, then why are you willing to spend most of it to kill someone you think is probably town?

[Askthepizzaguy]

To be clear, I don't even think he's French. I'm doing this purely to incite chaos and have fun. Ha!

[Montmorency]

But then wouldn't it be even more chaotic and fun to just give someone special all your gold for no discernible reason?

Hint hint

[Askthepizzaguy]

If you love gold so much, then why are you willing to spend most of it to kill someone you think is probably town?

It's not most of it, it's barely a third. And if you want me to remain on board the ship, rather than hoard gold and then flee, this is my compromise:

I want to do a thing that's fun. That will also put me behind, gold-wise. I'll have to make it up somehow, and that means stealing gold.

Now, do you want a bit of sport? Because I'm a fortune teller, says I. I can tell when people are going to try to steal my gold. I'm just that damned good. Ain't that right, Ituralde? Heh heh heh.

I'd wager my gold stock that I can steal more gold from this crew than they can steal from me.

THAT would be a fun wager. And what sport, it would be as well. Maybe I'll end up penniless if I suck at it. Maybe I'll be filthy rich. But I could gain gold faster that way, and have a lot more fun and doubt about the outcome of the night than if I were lining up and being a murderer and collecting my murderer's salary.

And I'll even claim who I stole from if I was successful.

I will not steal from the same lad twice, provided folks do not successfully steal from me twice. Now, that's a fair bit o' sport, says I.

And of course, if none of ye be brave enough to accept this bounty, and the Captain doesn't talk me out of it, then this is also what I says, says I:

I'll leave.

Because none of ye know how to have any fun.

Those are my terms.

[Askthepizzaguy]

But then wouldn't it be even more chaotic and fun to just give someone special all your gold for no discernible reason?

Hint hint

No, you have to earn it, you scurvy, wind-blasted sea dog! HARR HARR HARR!!!

*slaps Monty on the back*

If ye want to have fun, come be a Pirate with me!

If ye want to slavishly follow orders which will DEFINITELY result in your untimely death one night due to secretive vigilante groups dictated from on high, and be led like lambs to slaughter, follow your Quartermaster, for he be truly a man moulded in the image of authority, and duty, with an arse so tight it could break a cutlass in half.

[Montmorency]

I suggest ye go deep into the northern deserts of the continent, beyond the borders of New Spain.

There you will found a city of gold - El Dorado - in which you can throw dice in the air as much as you like, and randomly generate positive or negative gold for yourself.

You'll have the time of your life, I swear.

[Montmorency]

follow your Quartermaster, for he be truly a man moulded in the image of authority, and duty, with an arse so tight it could break a cutlass in half.

And you expect people to beat him in a fight?

[Ituralde]

What's a lone pirate to do at night, when he has no buddies to play cards and drink rum with?
He does what he does best, he goes plunderin, suits a pirate right to loose his plunder, if he can't protect it!
Figured I'd either be a litlte richer or have a good story where the two of us has been last night. Who knows, maybe next night I'll even bring some rum and some cards, eh?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Vote: Ituralde

And to be clear, Ituralde, I do this purely as a way of waggling my finger at you for tryin' to steal my gold.

And for the coin.

I'll even move my vote off of ye, for a paltry three coins, should ye be afraid of death. I'm not tryin' to kill you, just make up for lost time havin' to defend me gold.

Three gold, and I'll forget the matter entirely. Ye have my word.

[Askthepizzaguy]

And you expect people to beat him in a fight?

If they be men of valor and bravery and skilled with a sword, if they be proper, manly pirates, then they should be able to take just one man in a straight fight.

Or do ye not like a challenge, says I?

[Askthepizzaguy]

HAH!

Oh do pay me the gold I ask, because I'd hate to lose a pirate like you on this voyage.

[Askthepizzaguy]

About the bit o' sport I talked about:

If ye be marchin' to the tune and the orders of the administration, ye be not defendin' yer gold and that increases my odds that I get rich and ye lose gold.

If ye be actin' more like pirates and doing what you want to do, and mindin' yer gold totals, stealin' or defendin' more often than not, then I shouldn't be able to end up with more gold than ye, now then, isn't that right? Especially if I start from behind?

So my wager serves more purpose than just my own fun. Ye can march to the orders o' the Captain and his direct subordinates all ye like during the day, but at night, it be time for pirates to act like the wild lawless dogs they be. And this be yer encouragement.

Unless you like doing what you're told and getting less gold than the captain, following his and his men's orders all game, and ending up with far less gold than he does, as was the case before.

That sounds like fun to ye all? That's the course they be settin' for us. I beg to differ, lads. I beg to differ.

And should I die, some other pirate should take up me mantle and offer the same deal.

[Visor]

Has anyone been roleblocked here besides myself and Xiahou at any stage?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Definitely not last night, and our protection group on n1 appears to have worked out just fine. So, not me as far as I can tell.

[Visor]

At this point I'm assuming anyone who is parroting this idiotic line is just doing so out of ignorance.

Nobody received a PM or an order from myself, NJ or AA last night (well, 99% sure on NJ and AAs parts) or any night.

I did not say to anyone hey you need to target x with these players or anything. They only time I have come close to organising targets is the first night where I told everyone in no uncertain terms - I want to kill lurkers/people who don't post - I've already explained why we targeted ATPG over Ice and spaceman certainly fit the bill D1. I asked these people hey do you want to kill people, specifically lurkers. And they all said yes.

I did basically nothing last night in terms of organising except to organise one group of people who wanted to do a similar action. I didn't tell them you need to hit x target or whatever, I just said a,b,c,,d you guys all want to do something that I can see there is your group, as they were making seemingly no attempt to find a group.

There are no orders - we're not Kages captaincy, remember.

[Visor]

Okay, good. Now to hear from everyone else.

[Askthepizzaguy]

All right, I'll take you at your word. Assuming you can learn to do the same...

[Visor]

Two people who were trying to protect - I pointed them in the direction of someone who protected night 1.

I don't care what people do unless its important for working things out - people enjoy having sucessful actions completed and well people hate organising things. I just pointed people in the right direction and I'm not even doing that anymore because I have my own powers to use now.

[Visor]

All right, I'll take you at your word. Assuming you can learn to do the same...

Words are wind.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

release twow please

What's your word? I just saw a big lot of text saying lynch Visor and skipped over it.

[Visor]

I've probably inadvertently helped the French by organising some groups - though I have the potential to harm them if they agree I suppose by them not being able to do their own actions.

Just the way the cookie crumbles.

To clarify this - I did PM people last night - Khaan, some others I don't recall - but not about night orders or whatever.

[Kagemusha]

There are no orders - we're not Kages captaincy, remember.

Just to make it clear. I asked people if they could do something, most of them did not.

Meanwhile i had in my hands a group who were going to mutiny no matter what i did. I should have just followed my initial instinct and take the leadership of that group out, but i guess i was too much of a softie to do that.

[Visor]

Since I'm tired and grumpy and don't give a damn abut peoples feelings at this point - its time we talked about the elephant in the room.

Ice. Nah I'm kidding. (How much does a vig group weigh? Enough to break the Ice. Hardeharhar)

[Visor]

You did ask a lot of people to steal from TFT or protect targets of your choosing.

If you don't roleblock me - I don't think we have a real case for mutiny to be honest.

[Kagemusha]

Yes ask, not order. I cant reveal my intentions now that im dead, but i can return to this once the game is over.

[Askthepizzaguy]

What's your word? I just saw a big lot of text saying lynch Visor and skipped over it.

I don't want people to lynch you. That would be a waste of people's time. There are French people out there to find. You might be one of them but I'll trust the Captain's word on it.

I am offering a bounty for your head, if the action is successful only. 10 gold per man. A worthy reward for managing to strike you down even though you've got that 50% defense going for you.

I also told the captain I could be persuaded to drop the bounty for a small sum. You see, we're all reasonable men here. Well I am anyway.

[Visor]

Right.

I can almost see the members now.

[Kagemusha]

10 gold is a earnest prize for any pirate. Also a well paying job would become available, seems rather positive undertaking, or maybe you guys just have to pay off Pizza, but would that create a worrying precedent?

[Visor]

I fail to see the sense in trying to bribe people to kill someone who even the person organising the bribe thinks is likely town. Not sure you'd have to bribe some of the players in this game if I'm honest. Not exactly winning friends am I?

I could even do a rankings list of who is likely to join the hit outside those who are persuaded purely by the chance of money.
