Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
But you chose not to mention this little bird until your second post of the new day, after I had said I was concerned about you? Okey Dokey, Matey.Bird wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 11:52 am @Iggy aye me matey, ye wounds me through me heart, ye does. Just last night, a little bird dropped a bug in me ear, that said to steer clear o’that Iggy, he be leavin’ death an’ destruction where e’er he sails. I just shook me head and said that can’t be true. Not Iggy, he makes a right point when he be questionin’ folks.
Now, I be thinking that Bartley be the opportunistic one onboard this vessel.
Alls I can say is none on this ship has a truer heart than this here pirate has. And this here pirate has galley duty again so I’m outa’ here fer awhile.
'Tis not true. Perhaps your bird ate some hallucinogenic grain.
I can vote from my non piratical day job, so will do that, in hopes more discussion is had, and that one voter doesn't control the planking.

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
I was sus of Ronan, and tbh, I am OK with my vote for him in that I won't scramble to make excuses for myself. I pretty much suspected him from the outset. I really thought he was bolstering the post count with fluff. It's unfortunate that a person was able to be made to walk the plank with only 2 votes.
It's been hard with so little thread content tbh. If half the people dont post, the people who are posting only have each other to pick apart. And this game feels very OG, in that we aren't getting night flips, and there are apparently two bad factions, so we have no clue if any of them are even dead, since we haven't yeeted any.
That said, I agree that Bird feels opportunistic. Their vote was like, "Yeah, sure!" rather than feeling like it had any conviction. I hope more people show up to participate today.

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
Aye, I do recall that now, Bird.
I think Ronan is full of fancy talk and amusing stories, but his actual content is non piratical. I think he be a ninja.
He started the whole fuss n’ruckus about Errol, then let Jet take the fall after pocketin’ them with talk o’ being captains mate.

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
Thanks fer yer patience with me, me hearties!
Today I think I can look at this blasted screen w'out me eyes crossing!
Although I generally think making low posters walk the plank is weak and non piratical, maybe even ninja-like, this is getting out of hand, we have several with fewer posts than the host.
I also want to reread Ronan, they started the push on Errol more so than Jet, as Ronan was the one who started the false suspicion against Errol with the "pirates shouldnt vote for stars" when Ronan voted for ... stars. Then when he and Jet had voted for Errol, he said summat like, "Arrgh we have to get rid of someone, and Errol didn't even try to defend hisself". How do you defend yerself from false accusations?
And his vote for the one low poster the host said was having tech difficulties is a thing that made me go "Arrr".
@Bird if ye answered it, sorry if I missed it, although I should have time to reread the thread, it's only 4 pages; why did ye pick Davos out of the pack; their posts felt fairly meh to me; did I miss something? I saw nothing to tip the scales o'suspish either way. Do ye still sus him, and if so why?

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
I have an interesting tale of woe, and a warning to watch yer footsteps!
I was walking down the gangplank ta go to my non piratical job early this morn. I misplaced me step, went flying off the gangplank, rolled down a sandy slope (much like a cartoon character me hearties) and bashed headfirst into a pointy rock.
Yarrrgh! It hurt
So me doctor told me to avoid too much screen time for 24 hours. So I’ll be scarce till tomorrow and t’wont be saying much.

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
Also @Bird what was it you found so slippery about Davos? His posts have no content, but then, neither did half the players at the point when you voted for him.
What made you pull him out o'the low posting pool at the last second, rather than someone else?

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
I snipped yer post cause this is the point I want to address. Bird HAD voted for Jet, then moved to Davos in the last minutes. Then Sixto moved their vote to Jet, tying it again.Ronan wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2023 5:13 pm
Arr, Bird be makin' a shrewd point about mistrustin' a Jet, for a jet might indeed put a bird out of business in the skies. But as it turned out, Bird's initial opinion on Jet didn't hold its weight in doubloons, as we can see.
As for that final tally, it be a bit of a mystery to me as well, but it seems Bird might have tied the poll by castin' a vote for Errol, not Jet. Aye, it's a curious turn of events, and it makes one wonder about the true motives of our crewmates on this ship of secrets.
Had Bird not moved, Jet would have had three votes in the end. Errol always had 2, you and Jet. So it ended up tied and through whatever mechanism, Errol was made to walk the plank.
Since Sixto moved his vote after Bird moved theirs, not sure what Birds tie talk was about? The poll WAS tied and Bird untied it by moving their vote, since they did so afore Sixto moved theirs in the ver' last minutes o'the poll ending.
Hoping Bird clears this up.

Suspicion be a double-edged cutlass, and we'll be wieldin' it carefully as we navigate these treacherous waters.
I voted for Jet cause I see a vote for *Jet* as a vote for *Jet*. A vote for someone other than Jet is a vote for not-Jet. So, no, a vote for Bird is not a vote for Jet.

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
Well that be a low blow.
As I recall it, Errol had Ronan and Jet voting for him. Jet had meself, And Bird. In the last minutes, Sixto moved from me to Jet and Bird moved to Davos.
So ‘‘twas tied between Jet and Errol.
I voted sand, shells be pretty but sand is useful.

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
Half the thread has only 1-2 posts, and Bartley hasn't posted at all. So most of the players are in the orange "no read zone".
So where I'm at with the people actually playing,
*Ronan has me confused. I don't like how he jumped on someone for doing what he did himself. Now he's voting for no reason except solidarity with the guy who voted for one of many low posters for no reason whatsoever. He posts more than most (he's the high poster by far with 15 posts), but has said very little on topic. He appointed himself captain, and Jet his mate. BUT why would a wolfy pirate draw such attention to themselves? I have problems reconciling his "LOOK AT ME" playstyle with wolfiness. It gives me pause. Is Ronan wolf or is Ronan an attention hound?
Iggy ... that's me! I love salt air, plunder and pillage and not betraying me fellow pirates.
Jet has 5 posts, and none of them mention Errol, or indeed, anything really on topic except the last one I quoted above. The rest of them seem to be bantering with Ronan about sobriety and being his first mate. Had no real read here since nothing topical until they voted for no reason. Very sketchy vote. Looking forward to an explanation.
Sixto has voted for me, and I totally get why. My stance on Ronan is a bit waffly, tis true. Seems engaged and saw something that got his eye, pointed it out and voted on it. Cool.
Davos has 4 posts, nothing really topical, nice usage of "yargh", other wise null.

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
WTF did Errol do? We have a game with what appears to be 8 villas, and 2 probable wolf teams of two each, and only 6 people on the poll. Plus those of us in the thread today can't be NK, so why not discuss, rather than voting for no reason?
Shouldn't we at least be pretending to have a reason to vote? Did you only vote to end Errols game to be in solidarity with Jet?
You don't find Jet voting for someone they've never mentioned without even making a vote post to be even a tiny bit sketch?

Jet, this be your last post.

I’m a wee bit confused by you lecturing someone on that which ye did yourself.
So, while I may have been a hypocrite in the past, I'm takin' these steps toward a better, more sober life. And sometimes, when a pirate's been adrift in grog-soaked madness for so long, he can't help but look to the stars for a bit of guidance and clarity. It be a sign that even the saltiest of us can change our ways, me matey. So, let's navigate these uncharted waters together, and mayhaps we'll find a new appreciation for the night sky.
I be confused, Jet. Here you seem to be agreeing with Errol, yet now you voted for him, with nary a post about it.

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
Because I can see both sides of a thing? I was not a fan of Ronan lecturing a pirate for doing that which he himself did, and his way of replying to my question did not help, first appeasin me then actin like I was murderin him. But then I looked at all of their wordy, attention seeking posts, and did not understand why a false pirate might do so. Ronan appeared to be tryin' to get everyone to look at him, lecturin' on a topic anathema to most pirates. It's also possible that ol' Ronan was trying to draw all the attention so we wouldn't notice his partner, skulkin in the shadows. Lots of things could be possible.
So since I put my original thoughts out on the table, I thought I might put these on the table as well. Since a true pirate doesn't want to make the wrong person walk the plank, especially with such a small crew and apparently 4 rotten apples in the already tiny barrel.
But pirates don't be known for their patience, do they?

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
I hear sometimes that quitting the grog makes a pirate act a bit mad for a time. Perhaps that is what has befallen poor Ronan, who first makes flowery, soothing, speech to me, then in their ver' next post, calls me a landlubber and claims I besmirched their character, which I did not. Mayhaps someone should slip ol' Ronan a bit o'rum while no one is lookin.
I dinna see why someone only pretending to be a pirate, or whoever we're tryin ta ferret out, would draw attention to themself in this way, so perhaps Ronan just likes lecturin people and talking a lot, kinda like my Parrot Mad Martha

But you voted for the stars yourself, dint ya?Ronan wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 12:28 amArr, ye claim to be a night owl, do ye? And ye speak of the stars as if they be yer guiding lights? Well, I must admit, those words do raise me brows a bit. Ye see, a true pirate be more likely to say, "A night owl am I, so by the moon's pale glow, we'll set sail and seek our plunder."
But stars, they be the stuff of poets and stargazers, not the salty souls of the sea. Pirates, we be guided by the moon's silver path on the water, the creakin' of a ship's timbers, and the distant call of land ho. So, me heartie, if ye be true to the pirate's life, ye'll need to adjust yer celestial bearings a bit. But fear not, for the sea has a way of teachin' even the most landlubberish of us its secrets..
I’m a wee bit confused by you lecturing someone on that which ye did yourself.

Voting for the stars, starlight and moonlight be the best light for piracy.

Re: So ye wants to be a Pirate?
Yarr, I see some talk of sober piracy, what's next, sailing the high seas with Ninjas? Our theme music be Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum, not Yo Ho Ho and a Boba Chai! But to each their own so long as no one be taking my bottle o' rum or setting me up on dates with no ninjas. Mayhaps a sober lookout on the yardarm isn't a bad thing.
