Is that what he's going for?

Truicy rhymes with juicy.

I've always pronounced it this way in my head.

Just like I still think you got your name from the Kar-a-tay episode on Friends.

Nah... he probably just enjoys shocking people.

I guess I have no idea. We'll have to let tru1cy tell us what's up with that.

When I saw the 1 - it seemed to beg to be pronounced True-one-cee.... truancy. (and I liked how that also fit nicely with his hardly ever being here)

Do we know if everyone has picked up their PMs yet? Is it really game on?

Good question. There are four (msteelers, tru1cy, Slim, and Grund) who haven't checked in to the thread yet.

I've been following along and learning some interesting facts, like what a poop deck is. And that I've been possibly mispronouncing tru1cy's name all along. Outside of that though I've got nothing else to add.

Really Unagi...

Since there is a nauticle theme to this game, I wanted to add one more definition:

Forecastle

Forecastle refers to the upper deck of a sailing ship forward of the foremast.

The syncope of the word, fo'c'sle or fo'c's'le (pronounced /ˈfoʊksəl/), is common among nautical terms due to the nature of their pronunciation during the Age of Sail by sailors with strong accents and varying language skills.

Among defensive troops on battlefields forward of castle walls, the syncope perhaps led to the usage of the homophone foxhole.

It also sounds a little like Newcastle..hehe..

That's all we get !?

Only you can tell us - so, Please... tell us.

Deny Unagi the satisfaction:
 tru1cy 
 

If he is dead he can't answer how to pronounce his name.

I think that's indicative to how this game will go with him.

So, day 1 it is.

Anyone else got a better day 1 pick?

I advise we pick a player that will remain in the shadows for the remainder of the game.

Cage match then.

That's not the participation level we're looking for (and it just seems off to say that).

Sounds okay to me.

Bilge:

The bilge is the lowest compartment on a ship where the two sides meet at the keel. The word was coined in 1513.

The word is sometimes also used to describe the water that collects in this compartment. Water that does not drain off the side of the deck drains down through the ship into the bilge. This water may be from rough seas, rain, minor leaks in the hull, other interior splillage, or stuffing box. The water that collects in the bilge must be pumped out to prevent the bilge from becoming too full and threatening to sink the ship.

Bilge water can be found aboard almost every vessel. Depending on the ship's design and function, bilge water may contain water, oil, urine, detergents, solvents, chemicals, pitch, particles, and so forth.

By housing water in a compartment, the bilge keeps these liquids below decks, making it safer for the crew to operate the vessel and for people to move around in strong weather.

 Maybe slim099 is hiding there.

Tell you what exactly? Pray tell what type of epiphany I was supposed to have?

Does tru1cy rhyme with 'juicy'

or

Does tru1cy sound like 'truancy'.

Actually, when I originally came up with the name it meant:

True One See Why = tru1cy. It wasn't till later it was pointed out to me that it also could mean truancy. I like that better so I went with it

All game PM's have been received & opened

In that case, I could also vote for slim and Grund.

Bandwagoner.

Perhaps the bad guys put sleeping powder in everyone's drinks?

Everyone being Grund and slim, right?

You should know.

I'm curious as to why Grundbegriff seems to be ignoring us. He's next.

Why next and not first?

Because I would rather torture the complete unknown rather than the known, since the known will eventually participate anyway.

Reading the rules for the first time....

What is N-1? Does "by N-1" mean "before N-1 is reached" or does it mean "before N-1 is replaced by N"?

Protector – At night can protect one person of his choosing. Can not choose same target back to back. He will find out if his target was successful or not.

Can the Protector protect himself?

VILLAINS
Boss – Orders night kill -

If the Boss is killed, who inherits this power?

Also: What are the spy numbers for?

1. before the final condemning vote is the way it should read.
2. good question
3. numbers are just for flavor.

Answer - "before N-1 is replaced by N"?
Before the final vote is cast to lynch N. So the latest a Bond's shot can be ordered is during the n-1 state...once the final vote is cast, then a shot can not be ordered during that chapter phase.

Can the Protector protect himself?

Yes, but not on consecutive nights.

I believe a consensual decission will be arrived between the remaining the villains. I dont feel a sucession order is needed.

Flavor only. Everyone has an agent number, even the villains.

Well since Slims compadre has already thrown him under the bus, I may as well help press the gas pedal

Moderators Note - I have noticed the lack of participation and communication of Slim099. I have sent him a PM with a deadline for him to participate or be replaced. I already have a replacement lined up in case one should be needed.

Replace  Truicy

Yeah, let's just handle it the old fashioned way.

Hold up. I'm going to remind him again at work on Tuesday. Lets give him until then, please.
