Pirates II: Never Never Land Cruise

[Cobra_Ikari]

Most suspicious? I heard Gnome telling me he knew who Smee was and decided to trust him. Then you come up, attack him verbally, and whisper in his ear, and I'm not supposed to find that suspicious? How, in turn, would I be suspisious, hmm? By paying attention to the actions of people around us? Because some maniac is killing my friends?

Explain yourself immediately, or I'll have no qualms about throwing you out of here.

[Ceika]

Ceika glares at Vonriel for a moment before lowering her finger. She nods as she looks over the other offered ticket.

It is possible that one, or both, are forgeries. I imagine that, since we're hearing multiple voices of the gods ((we have more than one person running this game)), it is possible that they were written differently. Then again, it is possible that they were all done by Alarra... did Shadow say who gave his ticket to him? *goes to check* Oh... he did... hm. This changes things a bit... and it looks bad on you, Shadow...

You're still on my list, Vonriel... but for now, I'll have to admit, the evidence is strongly suggesting that he *Ceika points at Shadow* is not among our friends here. And may Peter forgive me if this is all a misunderstanding...

[Goblin Music]

*points at shadow* hum are you evil or just trying to have a good time, i wonder.

[Supagoof]

Vonriel wanders back up on deck to hear everyone talking about lynching him. Well.. uhm.. *gulp* This is rather.. unexpected. I guess this is what I get for having a brain. I'm telling you, you're making a mistake in trying to throw me over. I haven't done anything but try and wrap my head around what's going on. But if this is how you value individual thought.. My comments about the Barbarian were because of a tale I heard from an old friend. You see, he knew an old pirate, one who told him a tale of a crazed passenger who put on a hat and claimed to be the captain, during a cruise much like this. The "captain" wound up doing more harm than good, getting more innocent passengers killed than pirates, and,

I know that bedtime story. It's told to try and keep us kids behaving. In that same story though, the pirates also won because the "first mate" never spoke up. Here we have a person who may know, and has the courage to speak up.

I'm somewhat concerned about how quickly Ikari decided to throw his vote against me. Rather than chase me down and talk to me in person, he was the first to vote against me.

You posted publically, so did he.

Then again, there's Shadow, who simply claims to have had a ticket. I doubt a pirate would be above simply claiming to have one, which is exactly why I won't bother. After all, why believe me? For what it's worth, I'll point at Cobra Ikari as for now, he seems the most suspicious of anyone on deck.

Only to you because he's pointing at you, but I too wonder what was whispered....

As he finishes, Vonriel comes to stand to one side of the deck, opposite everyone else who's pointing at him.

No, no, no. It's boys on one side and girls on the other, like gym class.

((everybody taliking about "The Man this" and "The Man that"...fools that haven't realised the truth yet...))

((It's you, isn't it? ))

[Lord Magtok]

(( Gah. I forgot to roll. >.< ))

[roll0]

(( Crud! I forgot to roll last day! How do you do it?!?))

[Castaras]

(( You do it like this: [roll]1d20[/roll] ))

[Lord Magtok]

*Magtok investigates his own hallway, using his thermal vision and night vision settings on his robotic eye.*

[roll0]

((My first roll ever was only an 8? Darn.))

[Gnome Barbarian]

Goes and searchs around Hallway A as everyone else is decided if they trust him enough to vote out Shadow.

[roll0]

Obviously he is a little distracted from the pointing that is going on.

[Shadow]

The fat read headed kid starts to cry.
"Of course my ticket is different than yours."
*sniffle*
"Mine cames as part of a pair."
*sniffle*
"I only showed you the top half. Please don't make me tell who got the other one....."
*uncontrollable sobbing begins*

[pendell]

Well .. it IS possible that the tickets are written differently. There's no reason Alarra couldn't have varied the language.

Nonetheless, the ticket could have different language because you forged it, and I do want to test out our 'seer'.

You've given me more cause to point than anyone else on this cruise. So my finger remains pointed at you.

And if this Gnome does turn out to be Chief Wigwam -- or worse, a pirate pretending to be the Seer -- then you will have my deepest apologies when I get to the afterlife, which will probably be the day after your lynching.

Respectfully,

Brian P.

[Helgraf]

Investigation continues amidst a swirl of controversy. The tools of the trade are brought along; magnifying lens, tweezers for lifting tiny pieces of evidence without getting finger oils all over them, lockpicks in case the trail leads into a private cabin, and, most oddly of all, a tiny dish of water with a lead needle floating in it. Lastly a bit of cloth for comparison's purposes, gleaned from a prior night's investigations. It never hurt to be careful, after all.

*[roll0]*

He wished for another day to stall before pointing the finger, wanting surity, but knew if he did not speak tonight that the crowd would seize upon him and toss him overboard.

* Helgraf points at Shadow *

[The Valiant Turtle]

The turtle listens to all the conversation.

We must test this truthfulness of this claim.

Raldor points at Shadow.

The turtle goes off and searches through Hallway D [roll0]

[HyramGraff]

Hyram Graff stares at Shadow begging for mercy and then finally says "If you really did get your tickets as a pair, then why hasn't your lover spoken up to protect you before now? Your 'ticket' is a forgery." *points at Shadow*

Hyram later looks over every inch of hallway G trying to find clues as to who the pirates may be [roll0]

((edit: Hmm, I guess I can't preview a roll.))

[Madmal]

((It's you, isn't it? ))

((ha!! i wish!!...no, the real thruth is that there is no The Man at alll...it's just a cover for another beign...))

[HyramGraff]

[roll0] ((roll for above search.))

[Fredricus]

"You must be special to have a specially written ticket"

*points at Shadow*

[Timberwolf]

I really can't fault Gnome Barbarians logic.

points at Shadow

[Supagoof]

((ha!! i wish!!...no, the real thruth is that there is no The Man at alll...it's just a cover for another beign...))

((Again, I say it's you - isn't it. ))

[Joosbawx]

Joosbawx points to Shadow after checking out his own Hallway C ([roll0]).

"We have one of five (or more) scenarios here:

1. Shadow is Smee - Gnome Barbarian is the Seer.
2. Shadow is not Smee - Gnome Barbarian is the Fool.
3. Shadow is Smee - Gnome Barbarian is the Fool getting a true result because of April Fool's Day.
4. Shadow is not Smee - April Fool's Day has nothing to do with it.
5. Gnome Barbarian is Smee...etc.

I'd like to hope for scenario 1, so I follow Gnome Barbarian's lead and vote against the potential Smee."

[Gnome Barbarian]

((I scryed Shadow on the night after April fools. So we dont need to worry about that scenerio. Im jsut hopign Shadow is a smee I know if I were Capt. Hook he would be one of the people Id have looked at. If for no other reason to get him on my team no matter how long he lasted.))

[Captain van der Decken]

*Coming out of his room for the first time, glancing up and down his corridor (F[roll0]) Decken strolls towards the mob*



Pirates? Huh. Is this some sort of.. play, or something? To entertain the passengers?

*random NPC fills him in*

It's.. not?

*blanches*

I.. I suppose, we should hope that Gnome Barbarian is right, and believe him for now.

*points at Shadow*

[Vonriel]

Vonriel looks somewhat dejected. After all, here he is, facing being thrown overboard for some misconstrued comments. What I said to the Barbarian is for me and him to hear. Had I wanted others to hear it, I would've said it out loud. However, it wasn't anything sinister, I promise you that. You can even ask him yourself. Cobra, Ceika, Goof, we'll have time for this arguing later. For now, trust me when I say my intentions were nothing if not for the good... Heh, does anyone else find that request ironic, given the circumstances? Vonriel notices that his attempted joke fell on deaf ears.

I guess, for today, I'll point at Shadow. As much as it pains me to finger a kid, his ticket is much different than mine, and if it did come as a pair, why hasn't the other one shown up yet to verify his claim? No, it doesn't make much sense, and I have had a bit of time to ponder Barbarian's claim. No one makes such a claim lightly. Not to mention how the rest of that tale goes..

[Vespe Ratavo]

V wakes up from his drunken coma and joins the bandwagon. *points at Shadow*
((Sorry, I'll try and be more active, but I've been busy lately))

[blackout]

Nukular points at Shadow to avoid the auto-lynch of doom.

[pingcode20]

Pingcode Points at Shadow.

"His ticket is inconsistent with the rest of ours. Why would you forge a ticket if you were actually a passenger?"

After making is accusation clear, he heads back and Searches Hallway F [roll0]

[Akaziel]

Akaziel points at Shadow.

"A forged ticket, eh? Well, surely he's very suspicious then... A Pirate? Smee? Hook himself? I must apologize to Vonriel for accusing him at first, but currently you're in the gray."

After he says this, he sighs and listens to the other accusations.

[Alarra]

Okay.....a couple things here.

1. People were asking about this, so I figured I would make it public knowledge. The fool can see more than just pirate/passenger. The system that I am using is generating a random number from who's still alive. The fool gets told whatever role that lands on. Thus, it is most likely that they will see a villager, but have the chance to see any role that is still alive, and even that it will land on the right person.

2. I am sorry that I am apparently failing at sending out search results. I know that I have sent out wrong information twice now, but I will try very hard to learn how to read a spreadsheet before I send out any more.

3. If a player has a role, be they under the 'passengers' umbrella or no....they will scry as their role name and would not be considered a passenger.

[blackout]

Nukular returns to the main deck. "Your attention, please! I have found something everyone might be interested in."

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

The angry passengers aboard the ship harass and shove the little fat kid around as they shout curses. Crying hysterically, the little red headed kid pleads for his life and that of his lover.
"P-p-p-pleasth. D-d-don't do thish."
*sob*
"D-don't make m-me walk the p-p-plank!"
The sobbing child begins fighting his way towards the stern of the ship, but is quickly captured and brought closer to his doom.
When Shadow sees the crocks waiting for him in the water he becomes absolutely mad with fear and lashes out at the nearest passengers. With tooth and nail he fights for his life, scratching and biting anyone within arms reach.
A cutlass appears in the hands of one of the crew and Shadow is forced onto the plank.
All color leaves the kid's face and a calm washes over him once he's resigned to his fate. Even the stuttering ceases.
"Fine. But know this, Gnome Barbarian. You are now known to us. You can't hide forever. You are a fool by action, even if your sight is true. I hope for your sake that you are but hiding the true visionary, but either way you've just signed your own death warrant.
At this, the prodding of the cutlass begins anew and the fat red haired kid jumps off the plank and into the waiting maws of the crocks with a terrible yell,
"For Hook!"
The sounds from below tell you that the fat kid is a good meal for the crocks indeed.

Shadow was forced to walk the plank. He was Smee.
Day ends.
Night begins and will end 11PM EST Thursday, April 5th. Remember to PM all nighttime actions to Alarra, Indurain, and Atreyu the Masked Llama.
Oh, on the off chance that everyone sends in notes by 11PM tonight, then night will end early, but I don't see that happening.

[Cult_of_the_Raven]

Really sorry, but I've had computer issues. I will be unavailable for the week. don't kill me or push me overboard please.
