If we don't get a vote in then team wolf gets data. We need the lynch. As usual I'm the easy lynch. Not pulling my vote

Bah. Who do you want to go after? I will put my vote with yours as long as it is not on yourself.
There is always Friday for me to vote for you. Deal?

Re: [WW] -The Pirates of the Flying Octopi -Day 2 DEADLINE 2
Awesome. So since we are not on the brink of lynching Tru1cy, where would you like the vote?
I think the self vote helps to establish that the person might be a good guy. But one day a bad guy is going to use that to almost push themselves to a lynch and get some of us to say, he must be a good guy...
So Tru1cy, I await your insight?
Mr. Bubbles is my current target, but I can be swayed to others, and will follow your vote, as stipulated above.

RMC I like Lassr but seriously I am a very obvious choice, so I can't advocate trying swing votes that way.
Scoop is right that taking me out is the correct play. We need to lynch someone

Has Remus really done anything to help find a wolf? He spent an exuberant amount of energy messing with me, twisting my words, apparently fishing but we've heard nothing about what he may have learned.

Re: [WW] -The Pirates of the Flying Octopi -Day 2 DEADLINE 2
Guys, please stop being dense. Even the lynchee agrees he needs to be today's lynch.
Don't cry for him. He literally has died 100 times before and will always rise again.
He death will have meaning. We will get a bandwagon to analyze and if he a wolf then we snagged him and if not the wolves have one less person to hide behind.
If I was a wolf I'd play this exactly as tru1cy is acting. I'd comment how I was the right test. I'd self vote in apparent frustration the pull it for the good of the village. Heck, I've done it several times.
This is standard stuff guys. Whether tru1cy is a wolf or not, the wolves WANT us miss the deadline!
So, please stop being dense and lets ensure we fight this battle and hope to win then second, third, and fourth guess ourselves while the enemy advances on your position and occupies the high ground.

Also, Lassr, I did find more than just thinking you were human (thinking I'm less certain of at this point). Look where my vote is. Look why it is there. Admittedly, I usually put a lot more pressure on folks to follow my vote and I had fully intended to make a nice long argument in that regard but I failed to get that done this time around.

Yep. If I die tonight does it mean you are Human and the wolves want to frame you or does it mean you are wolf and want to avoid my inevitable push to get you lynched tomorrow? If I live does it mean you are Human and had no chance to night kill me or does it mean you are wolf and don't want the extra attention my death would bring? Quite the conundrum.Vorret wrote:Well this is interesting...

Re: [WW] -The Pirates of the Flying Octopi -Day 2 DEADLINE 2
Night 2 - Port Royale
“Land ho!” RMC shouted as he focused the scope. “Port Royale mateys!”
The crew rushed deck side and over the horizon as they saw the single bluff grow larger, and behind that they could make out the harbor of Port Royale. The sun was starting to set; a safe harbor and a night in the heart of hedonism awaited the crew. An enticing thought shared by all.
Holman stepped back, “So its agreed. We know what we are looking for. We’re looking for solid deals here; specifically Rum, cigars, anything like that.”
“We make the deal then ship out to Havana as soon as we can. There we sell them to a trader heading to Europe. We meet back at the ship at 1 hour past midnight. Not any later!” Scoop added.
Truicy replied “C’mon guys lets reconsider. It was probably only BB who was cursed not the gold. Can’t we keep it?” The whole crew shot him down with a firm no. Soon the ship had docked and the crew was delighted to be finally disembarking.
Truicy started to disembark when he noticed one of the dockworkers giving the crew and ship a long and appraising look. Truicy recognized that look. After all he’d been a thief many years at the London docks. Truicy stood still in the shadows of the gangplank as he watched the laborer rush over to a man with a red plumed hat and a cutlass strapped on his side. A quick conversation ensued and the red hatted man looked at the ship quickly then gestured at a couple of street urchins who started to follow the crew.
“Hey guys I’m going to stay on the ship. Probably need more on watch. ” Truicy said. But none of the crew heard him. So he stood sentinel and watched the crew disappear into the city, unaware that they were being followed. Truicy swung his attention to the man in the red hat, but he had disappeared.
Meanwhile the crew plowed their way through the streets of Port Royale. Sellers shouting the virtue of their wares, each trying to capture the crews attention. Stalls were selling a variety of wares: cutlasses, pistols, cigars, parrots, peg legs and hemp ropes.
A woman came up to El Guapo, grabbed his arm and thrust her body next his, grinding her hips into him. “What’s your pleasure there lad?”
El Guapo gave her a quick eye over then grunted “Ye of course!”, as she grabbed his hand and they disappeared into a wooden building.
Across the street came a shout “Rum, we got the best Rum to offer ya.”
“A drink is what I’ve been wanting. Boy’s am getting me drink on.” Vorret said as he rushed into the bar.
On the other side of the street came the shouts, “The best dice and cards game in all of Port Royale winners are made here.”
“Arr Immma winner!” Proner growled as he dissapeared into the card den.
Soon the temptations of the city had claimed most of the crew except for Lassr and Remus West. They continued their trek through the city looking for the right deal but none was to be found; either the cigars were dry, or the rum was more spiced sugar than rum. Desperation started to creep in as both knew they had to find something.
Just then a man approached him. “Lads I can help ya!” He said flashing a swarthy smile in greeting.
They both turned, silently appraising him. The man cleared his throat. “Names Bartering Bert and I be hearing that ye looking to buy some quality cigars and rum. Be that right?” Bartering Bert asked eyes appraising the two.
The duo stood quiet for a moment then Lassr finally nodded.
“Port Royale has crap stuff. But my mates just docked and we have some fine cigars and quality rum we can offer ya. A deal can be struck eh?” Bartering Bert flashed another smile.
“Aye.” Remus West responded.
Soon a deal was hashed out as they were about to leave Bartering Bert added, “Remember lads the red warehouse an hour before dawn. We can make the switch then.”
The two glad their fortunes had changed rushed back to the ship eager to share the news. As they boarded the ship chaos awaited.
“I swear! Ye had men following ya in the city. We need to keep the treasure.” Truicy pleaded. The crew had congealed into a semicircle that was quickly closing in on him.
“We’re getting rid of it!” Qantaga said. “It going. You have been acting strange about this treasure all day!”
“What’s gotten into you? Why have you been so obsessed over this treasure.” Mr. Bubbles inquired. “A spirit get to you?”
“That’s it” Lagom Lite affirmed with a snap of his fingers. “Only a spirit would want to keep this treasure and spread these lies about being followed.”
“That’s not….” Truicy started to object. But the crew sprang into action. Qantaga grabbed him by the arms, while RMC threw a noose over his head.
Quickly they hoisted the rope over a beam and hoisted Truicy up. Truicy’s body spasmed for a few minutes then stopped. The crew waited with eager anticipation, waiting for the black smoke, waiting for the confirmation of what they knew was to be true. But they were wrong. Nothing happened because TRUICY HAD BEEN AN HONEST PIRATE
IT IS NIGHT!

“We make the deal then ship out to Havana as soon as we can. There we sell them to a trader heading to Europe. We meet back at the ship at 1 hour past midnight. Not any later!” Scoop added.
Truicy replied “C’mon guys lets reconsider. It was probably only BB who was cursed not the gold. Can’t we keep it?” The whole crew shot him down with a firm no. Soon the ship had docked and the crew was delighted to be finally disembarking.
Truicy started to disembark when he noticed one of the dockworkers giving the crew and ship a long and appraising look. Truicy recognized that look. After all he’d been a thief many years at the London docks. Truicy stood still in the shadows of the gangplank as he watched the laborer rush over to a man with a red plumed hat and a cutlass strapped on his side. A quick conversation ensued and the red hatted man looked at the ship quickly then gestured at a couple of street urchins who started to follow the crew.
“Hey guys I’m going to stay on the ship. Probably need more on watch. ” Truicy said. But none of the crew heard him. So he stood sentinel and watched the crew disappear into the city, unaware that they were being followed. Truicy swung his attention to the man in the red hat, but he had disappeared.
Meanwhile the crew plowed their way through the streets of Port Royale. Sellers shouting the virtue of their wares, each trying to capture the crews attention. Stalls were selling a variety of wares: cutlasses, pistols, cigars, parrots, peg legs and hemp ropes.
A woman came up to El Guapo, grabbed his arm and thrust her body next his, grinding her hips into him. “What’s your pleasure there lad?”
El Guapo gave her a quick eye over then grunted “Ye of course!”, as she grabbed his hand and they disappeared into a wooden building.
Across the street came a shout “Rum, we got the best Rum to offer ya.”
“A drink is what I’ve been wanting. Boy’s am getting me drink on.” Vorret said as he rushed into the bar.
On the other side of the street came the shouts, “The best dice and cards game in all of Port Royale winners are made here.”
“Arr Immma winner!” Proner growled as he dissapeared into the card den.
Soon the temptations of the city had claimed most of the crew except for Lassr and Remus West. They continued their trek through the city looking for the right deal but none was to be found; either the cigars were dry, or the rum was more spiced sugar than rum. Desperation started to creep in as both knew they had to find something.
Just then a man approached him. “Lads I can help ya!” He said flashing a swarthy smile in greeting.
They both turned, silently appraising him. The man cleared his throat. “Names Bartering Bert and I be hearing that ye looking to buy some quality cigars and rum. Be that right?” Bartering Bert asked eyes appraising the two.
The duo stood quiet for a moment then Lassr finally nodded.
“Port Royale has crap stuff. But my mates just docked and we have some fine cigars and quality rum we can offer ya. A deal can be struck eh?” Bartering Bert flashed another smile.
“Aye.” Remus West responded.
Soon a deal was hashed out as they were about to leave Bartering Bert added, “Remember lads the red warehouse an hour before dawn. We can make the switch then.”
The two glad their fortunes had changed rushed back to the ship eager to share the news. As they boarded the ship chaos awaited.
“I swear! Ye had men following ya in the city. We need to keep the treasure.” Truicy pleaded. The crew had congealed into a semicircle that was quickly closing in on him.
“We’re getting rid of it!” Qantaga said. “It going. You have been acting strange about this treasure all day!”
“What’s gotten into you? Why have you been so obsessed over this treasure.” Mr. Bubbles inquired. “A spirit get to you?”
“That’s it” Lagom Lite affirmed with a snap of his fingers. “Only a spirit would want to keep this treasure and spread these lies about being followed.”
“That’s not….” Truicy started to object. But the crew sprang into action. Qantaga grabbed him by the arms, while RMC threw a noose over his head.
Quickly they hoisted the rope over a beam and hoisted Truicy up. Truicy’s body spasmed for a few minutes then stopped. The crew waited with eager anticipation, waiting for the black smoke, waiting for the confirmation of what they knew was to be true. But they were wrong. Nothing happened because TRUICY HAD BEEN AN HONEST PIRATE

IMPORTANT MOD NOTE -
From here on out I am going to be instituting a system of deadlines. All night orders (seer, if alive, and wolves) will have approximately 36 hours to submit their orders. Weekends I will allot a little bit more time.
During the day cycle i will be installing deadlines from the time the day starts. It will be a set of diminishing times. You can expect day 3 to last 10 days (weekends count as 1 day), day 4 will be less than 10 days, probably 9. I am not a fan of deadlines, but I feel this is the only way to urge this game forward.
