Arr! T'seems it'll be jus' me n' slasher doin t' powder now!
Na' only 'tat but she says 'tat be t' spy. Now what say ye! D'ye think she could be? If she isn't 'ten I dun' thin' they'd a-be revealin' so early, so I don' thin' there'll be a challenge, which means we'll just ha'e to ma'e shure we don' trust 'er too much. Either th' aggressors be a lucky crew, or they be a sharp lot, and if 'tey be t' second, 'ten we have little 'hope. An' thar be no rum. What sh'd we do! 'Tis a bad start t' be sure.

But if she'd be a cursed co-conspie' the real spy knows it now - and should remain silent about it for then it surely is just Greenie trying to fish her/him to the fore and to reveal her/himself. At the moment I don't think it matters much what we think or believe about her alignment, but it may become an issue later...

Meself trusts that old drunkard more than any of you cretins onboard for the fact that she ain't no mutineer and thence doesn't fool us with knowledge of what she's doing. She maybe a co-conspie, but even then she can give us either good or bad advice as she doesn't know more than we do. So a pinch of salt taken with whatever she says, but a little less than I take with anything you other sea-faring rascals say.

Why'd ye mutinous dogs ha' t' do awy w' t' Green One by usin' up th' rum? No blade or rope be gud enough?
Anyway, I be agreein' tha' Staggerin' Green be surely no conspirator. Claimin' t' be th' Spy, though.....if it'd ben' me I'd a waited a bit afore I said that. Cud' a ben' useful if one o' th' bad 'uns made a false claim. Some readin' be in order t'day. Mayhap I'll make some sense o' this sorry business.

Arrr! The spy be gone? Not to mention the rum? Arrr, I say, Arrrr!
Me sees no reason not to believe the Little Green at this point. She could be a conspiraterr putting herrself into the best position to discredit the real spy (or maybe even flush him out), but most likely, we're having a problem now. Quote:

Sorry I have little time again today and cannot waste it on piratifying my language. I wouuld love to know why Nogrod is so suspicious of me - I made a significant effort to err get to the parley and when I had to leave there were about 30 posts none of which seemed to give any indication. I was tempted to vote for Wilwa or Nogrod on the wispiest of reasons but knowing how Day ones can go awry feared that it would be the sort of vote that might spark premature silliness and so abstained. Obviously I have to vote today to avoid fire. My participation will increase after today dead or alive, though I will always be voting early. I assure you that Nogrod is flogging the wrong horse.

Arr! 'Tis be a mess to sort out, we know nothin' fer sure.
We know McCaber's be dead an' I right now say he be innocent. An' I be checkin' the waggin against him yesterday...It seems like sum sloppy charges war slapped on. We know Greenie's be 'acked by the mutineers, which mean she most likely be good, an' even if she be a co-conspier'ator, it would be no use in lynchin' her at 'tis point when no one else has said they be the spy. I say we trus' her, which means fer now I also trust Nerwen...I s'pose 'tis possible she be a co-conspie, but thar be no reason to doubt Greenie, at 'tis point, an' thus Nerwen too is not a mutineer. Nerwen's status could change, dependin' on Greenie's role, an' other behaviors, but fer now...if ye trus' Greenie, I be trustin' Nerwen. Thar be no sense in lynchin' either o' them today. E'eryone else be fair game. Currently that be Nogrod, Shasta, and Gwath...I be sayin' why o' that later.

Well, as this pirate sees it, unless another of the crew claims to be the spy, I don't think it be makin' much of a matter whether LG is a spy or a co-conspirator - either way, she knows no more 'n we do. She's nothin' more 'n another voice.

I don't see why ye be so quick t' believe our dearly depa'ted powder monkey's revelation. Tho' it be possible t' aggressors got so lucky on Night 2, th' odds be in favor o' her bein' a co-conspirator, an' her sayin' she'd a' revealed later proves nothin'. I don' quite trust those what accepted tha' explanation so easily. At least I be sure o' this: ef'n I war a co-conspirator what found meself dead on Day 2, I would be a-claimin' t' be th' spy right off th' bat too, 'xactly like Greenie ha' done. Oh well. Either way, I'll wager we'll see more seer reveals down th' line, an' we can sort this thing out then.
What worries me now, tho', are th' reactions t' th' drunk - p'ticklarly Eonwe n' Inziladun's, because o' t' way they latch onto th' idea o' a co-conspirator (ef I be readin' them right) revealin' later - plus, I didn't much like their contributions o' yesterday, either. Zil jus' gave me a bad feelin' (I'll hafta go back n' try t' pin down why), and Eonwe's reaction t' my hunter comment was mighty p'culiar. Yes, Nerwie, Eonwe was right: I were speakin' o' th' hunter, although I wasn't exactly right - if th' hunter makes a kill, we'll know more, but still ha' no exact knowledge. I'm not goin' into th' specifics, lest I be given ideas t' th' mutinous dogs. Nogrod seems a bit confused, but more or less like hiis innocent self. Shasta, I think, is bein' set up, an' therefore no aggressor. Mac seems ok so far. Sally seems a bit off. I'm gonna hafta look n' see ef thar be anythin' in Nerwen's posts that might have a cobbler-Green thinkin' she be evil. McGhostie don't look intirely kosher. If I be leavin' yer name out, it be 'cuz ye haven' made much o' an impression. More later. Be there any other alcoholic b'vridges on this here tub? Whiskey, ale, anythin'? EDIT: X'd w' Boro, Gwath, Boro |

Aye, that it were, and I'm not proud of it either. I felt like I had to show I was at least tryin' to vote and Wilwa had made a throwaway vote earlier herself, so I reckoned it would be appropriate to make a throwaway vote on her.

Far's I kin tell, ef thar be two claimin' t' be h' 'venger, we know one o' th' two be evil, an' if only one claim it, we know that one be he (tho th' other can be anything).
Tho th' drunk may be tellin' th' truth, I'm hopin' she ain't an' our spy is still among us. If Nerwen be guilty, th' 'vengers know Greenie be false, n' so may be quick t' support her. If Nerwen be innocent, Greenie can still be a conspirator. Either way, though, Boro, I'm not advocatin' lynchin' either o' th' two t'day. I'm jus' lookin' fer patterns in t' way people be reactin' t' 'em. Th' patterns 'r all we have t' go on. |

Well, me hearties, I be havin' to vote now.
++Gangrenous Inziladun Jones It be on'y a main weak suspicion, mark, but he ha' said little an' yet be comin' across summat shifty. I ha' shipped wi' he afore this, an' he be a scurvy dog. 'Tis the best I can be doin' fer now. I be needin' to turn in to me berth, else I'll be too wearied wi' lack o' sleep to take a proper sighting. I'll be a-retractin' later if I be seein' the need. I be considerin' votin' Shark Tooth, but seems likely the mutineers would ha' known about the spy not gettin' to work 'fore Night Two. So there be no' so much against him. EDIT:X'd wi' the Cabin Boy.

I've been lookin' over Nerwen's posts o' yesterDay, an' thar be some mighty fine pirate speech, a lot o' banter, an' what looks like some careful stirrin' o' th' pot w' regards t' my hunter-talk an' Mac Sparrow's so-called confession. Actually, it don't look altogether innocent, now that I look at it again - 'specially askin' if Mac be confessin', wit' no futher comment. I cud see it attractin' th' spy's attention, but it also migh've caught th' eye o' a clever cobbler as well.

Poorrr Lil drunken Greenie, may ye find a place wher' thar be nere lack o' rum!
But might thar be someone needin' some teeth pulled or boils drained? Me han's be idle an' nay likin' it... Seriously tho', I be 'round an' readin', but that may be everythin' I be havin' time an' strength fer now... Thus far those who's actions be pleasin' me eye be th' visually impair'd Nerwen (nay 100% sure 'bout this but nothin' against 'er right now) an' Legless Sally (she be needin' me help with 'er legs, ye know). Sum' 'ave been to quiet to me likin' an' ot'ers seem plain foul... But no time fer further talk now. EDIT: x-ed with 'em all.....

While double killing is the only way to find someones identity it does rob us of an opportunity to rid ourselves of a malevolent crewmember. Short of a protector save the agressors are going to kill each night. They are not going to kill one of their own surely and are unlikely to doublekill - and if they did it might be as a bluff rather than a certain indication that a ghost were being too perceptive. There are times for damage limitation but we can't afford to routinely doublekill people. I am inclined to take Greenie's word for now myself.
