Pirates II: Never Never Land Cruise

[Cult_of_the_Raven]

The girl with the feathered cloak carefully searches hallway D [roll0]
before pointing at Akaziel. Third to jump on a bandwagon! You must be a pirate!

[Cobra_Ikari]

((Okay...now I can't find it, but I'm certain Blackout used to have a vote up for GB after he was confirmed as a seer or proxy. But because it isn't there, I'm gonna change my vote for lack of evidence.))

[Ceika]

((I remember that too, Cobra... ))

[blackout]

( Pardon?)

[Ceika]

((shortly after Smee was killed, you pointed at Gnome Barbarian, claiming him to be a pirate, but it was night and not time to point. This occurred in post #215. I know this because I quoted you on it within a few minutes of you posting -- for reference, see post #217--You then edited your post 20 minutes later saying you were itching to point, removing evidence you pointed at Gnome Barbarian at all... but my quote of you, and inky's telling you it was night (#216) still exist. I'm fairly certain that's what Cobra was referring to.))

[Cobra_Ikari]

((Aye, that it was. Made me very uncomfortable around you, Blackout. I'm putting my vote back up, since it wasn't just a figment of my imagination. My thanks, Ceika.))

[Ceika]

((No problem... it made me quite leery as well, which is why I made sure to quote it in my post... hehe, evidence!))

[blackout]

((OK, three things. One, I ALWAYS forget what's what and who's who in these types of games. I MEANT to point at Vonriel. Two, I forgot it was night. Three, come on! We just got their seer for cryin out loud! Better keep hittin' em before they get the chance to coordinate their efforts properly.))

[Cobra_Ikari]

((I'm still pointing at you. Those aren't good excuses, and I don't care at all when you pointed, just who you pointed at. I'm very suspicious of your actions. That's all I'm saying.))

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

((Me so confused!))

[Lord Magtok]

((Me so confused!))

((Same here. We're allowed to alter our pointing, right? If so, then...))

*Magtok points at blackout.*

Sorry, but they've got some good reasons there. Also, the "croc thingy" may not have been an accident, now that I think about it. And no, I'm not going to explain what the "croc thingy" was.

[HyramGraff]

"Fingers are pointed at me? My felow passengers I must agree with Cobra Ikari. This is my first voyage ((or any WW type game)) and I have sopken with him. I will join the rest in pointing at blackout as he has best argument against him I've seen yet (excepting Shadow of course).

If Gnome Barbarian has seen another pirate then I am perfectly willing to change my vote."

[blackout]

((Never said it was a good excuse. Just the truth. :P And magtok, your suspicion is going to be well-rewarded eventually. You'd be good in SPecial FOrces, or something.))

[Gnome Barbarian]

"Unfortunatly Vonriel didn't get a pirate scry last night. So I do not have another pirate."

[blackout]

Well, I am NOT a pirate. Don't believe me? If you don't, ask the kitten(Castaras), or even gnome barbarian. They'll vouch for me.

[Gnome Barbarian]

"Yes I will vouche for blackout. He is part of the Gnome Barbarian/Vonreil team. 11 members and strong thanks to the excellent scrying of our seer."

[blackout]

THANK you! What more proof do ya need? Perhaps you need to see the back of my neck for some kind of tattoo? Or maybe I need to complete some sort of ritual to be considered 'non-pirate?'

[Lord Magtok]

((And Magtok, your suspicion is going to be well-rewarded eventually. You'd be good in SPecial FOrces, or something.))

((Me? Special Forces? Nah. I'm the kind of paranoid megalomaniac they send guys like that to dispose of. Oh, and "Perfect paranoia is perfect awareness." ))

Edit: Wait...gnome is the seer, right? Gah...now I don't know where to point!

[Gnome Barbarian]

((Your half right magtok. I was posing as the seer for Vonreil. But people were pointing at him so he needed to get the heat off of him in order to not get lynched.))

[blackout]

Still, what more evidence do ya need?

(Well...<_< >_> What about Secret Service? FBI? CIA?...Spy?)

[Gnome Barbarian]

(( We need Vonreil to scry tonight cuz we think we have a wolf. We jsut want to make sure of it.))

[Lord Magtok]

((I'm still at a loss for where to point.

Hmm...I strongly dislike that EVILite Raistlin, and since he's on vacation and everyone else is going to want to avoid bandwagoning someone who can't do anything about it...))

*Magtok points at Raistlin1040.*

[Cobra_Ikari]

Well, if the party of the seer will vouch for him...

Ikari is confused as all hells. He begins to lower his finger, but then swings around to point at Gnome Barbarian.

So...why did he point at someone in his party? If you can explain that one to me, I'll gladly follow you. If not, the only explanation I can think of involves a pirate killing his own to gain a position of respect.

[blackout]

*continues pointing at Graff* I still stand by my previous statement. I observed the last Pirates game, and I figured that the pirates might try some of the same tricks from last time. Ergo, Graff is under suspicion.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Actually, in thinking, I'm way more suspicious of Blackout than I am of you, Barbarian. And unlike with Vonriel, I can't get an explanation out of you by threatening you...no one would follow me, and I won't throw you off on just my suspicions.

Ikari points at Blackout. He then walks to the side of the boat, kneels, and begins carving something into the deck.

[blackout]

Dude, the party of the Seer's already vouched for me, and Gnome-barb never pointed at ME. If you are still pointing at me, there is a decent chance you could be a pirate that is trying to get rid of someone in an attempt to further the pirate's plans before you get lynched(lets face it, chances are both me and Ikari will get lynched before the game's done.), but I'm more suspicious of Graff. Therefore, I won't point at you. YET.

[Cobra_Ikari]

I assure you, I am not a pirate. Here's why I'm still pointing at you.

• You voted for a near-confirmed seer or his proxy immediately after his sucess.
• You tried to make it appear that it never happened.
• You played dumb when some of us tried to remember when it happened.
• You gave unrelated arguments to support yourself.
• You blamed it on "catch 'em all" fever, which seems like an attempt to infect us with it.
• You got people to vouch for you, which does not clear you in my eyes. It just makes all of them appear suspicious, too.
• You called me a pirate in an attempt to cast doubt on my arguments.

I have not lived this long by being stupid, Blackout. My land is a wartorn one filled with backstabbers and betrayers. I am willing to trust someone who has given no reason for me to doubt them. That's why I'm willing to take Hyram's back in an argument. You, however, have given me no conclusive evidence, just weak arguments and attempts to change the conversation. I'm not interested in starting a bandwagon. To tell the truth, I'm not interested in throwing you overboard. What I am interested in is making sure that from now on, you don't throw accusations around as if they were water. What I am interested in is making sure that the next time you accuse someone, it doesn't start a bandwagon of people, because there'll be suspicion on who you vote for without reasoning. And that is why I will not remove my vote against you for the rest of this day.

Unless you'd like to add more non sequiturs and attempts to cover your tracks? I've given up hope on you actually providing legitimate evidence in your favor.


He goes back to carving on the deck.

[blackout]

Feel free to believe what you want, man. I just KNOW two things right now. ONE, I'm not a pirate. TWO, everyone ELSE is a POTENTIAL pirate. I'm just going down the metaphorical list.

[Mr. Moon]

((I'm in a lazy mood, and really don't feel like reading three pages of fluff, so...))

Zidane points at Blackout.

[blackout]

Oh, come on! You don't even HAVE a reason to point at me!
