Captain’s Log

October 25
~ We set sail this mornin’ outa Tortuga. The Fort was lively an’ I gots me some new crewmen. I figure to let ‘em sober before puttin’ ‘em to the lines. Me an’ the old dogs can manage the Scum to open waters.

October 26
~ Near when I was set to rouse the lubbers, I found me flask empty but Pete ne’er answered a shout. The lad’s not on board. Has to be someone run him through an’ dumped em’ starboard. Lucky I still gots me hanging rope.

October 28
~ The crew's a'blubberin' 'bout what'll transpire should they be too lilly-libbered ta hang a fella on a watch. I told 'em we'd hafta go ta our bunks with nary a hangin'. Sissies!

October 30
~ That tick-libbered barnacle of a parrot's gettin on me nerves. How's a man to get no booty-countin' done with all that racket? I thinks we'll be havin' bird fer supper.

November 03
~ I went about ta' kickin' bunks this morn, but soon as I gets below decks, I spies Tekkactus, deader'n wet powder. A fella's gonna hang fer this! An' I was lookin' forward to the port o' ports too!

November 06
~ I'm mighty tired o' lazy sailors so I'll be whippin' a couple to make examples o'em.

November 9
~ Might be I gets to see Port Royal soon after all. One o' the slackers, Potates, is about ta walk the plank. Abaft o' which I'll hafta row in ta port ta gets me another scurvy dog.

November 12
~ The new fella's name be Goatrevolt. No sooner he gets aboard than I'm fixin' ta toss another lubber ta' the waves. Bilge rats ta the core, with nary a man among'm.

November 16
~ Never had to toss that lubber to the waves, but neither will I be warnin' 'im again. Too many slackers aboard. Another few days o' watch'll show 'em what it takes to git some shuteye 'round here!

November 17
~ I caint find that shore-dog PlaysWithSquirrels anywheres. An' there's a new lassie aboard! Maybe I bin hitting me rum a bit too much. Is'ere such'n animal?

November 19
~ Another o'th' bilge rats is 'bout to be cast o'er the rail. Methinks the buggers are so bull-headed 'bout goin' ta Port Royal, they be willin' ta swim.

November 20
~ Finally we be in Royal. It's a shame me old dog Gremwell be a goner, but there's nothin' like a bit o' wenchin' ta help a fella morn. An' there is a bit o' good news. I found me a new crewman at th' saloon.

November 24
~ We left Port Royal in a drunken haze, woke somewheres off the coast o' Haiti. There's bin another killin' but this time the dogs kilt one'a there own! Somethin mighty strange's afoot.

November 28
~ Things be settlin' down 'round the Scum, an the new fellas are gettin' along fine. Bodies be chatterin' 'bout a mass claim, whatever that be. Blasted lubbers.

December 14
~ I bin too drunk ta scribble in me log these past few days, but we marooned one lazy crewman an' scooped up another on a scrub rock near naked as a reef. Figured I should probably note it, fer me records.

December 17
~ These lubbers o' mine are a mite infuriatin' this time out. No lynch today. I gotsta quit findin' me crewmen at sissy bars. They be fine in a fight, but can't pick a lime from a barrel.

December 22
~ Today we sail across the Atlantic lookin' fer fairer raidin' grounds. 'Twasn't a wound delivered this time around, neither by day nor night, but it don't mean the mutiny's over. There'll be a hangin' on this watch er me name aint Captain Morgan.

December 27
~ 'Tis quiet on the sea... an' on me ship. I thinks there be crewmen nappin on 'er lines. Time fer the nine tails.

December 31
~ A happy new year it'll be fer sure, but I better not catch the prankster keeps puttin egg nog in me rum!

January 4
~ I bin watchin' these dogs fer a couple days now, an' they're singin' chanties like me orders said. But barely. I sure hopes there be a hangin' on this watch.

January 7
~ Holy mother, that was a big wave. Seemed like the whole ship disappeared fer a couple'a days. But no matter. Me crew's finally provin' their salt. We hung a mutineer!

January 11
~ We drifted out of the high Atlantic this morn, sighted the gates of the Azores off the bow. But before I could gets me crew ta the lines, I spotted a pair of'em dead as the doldrums. Blasted mutineers!

January 20
~ Me thinks I be spendin' too much time in me cabin. The crew done hung a lass before I even knew somethin' was afoot. It's okay though, 'cause she was a mutinous dog.

January 28
~ I finally emerged from me cabin ta find a quiet ship. We've drifted south toward the Canaries, an' methinks we'll be sightin' the coast o' Africa in the mornin'. The crew best be ready ta be roused.

January 29
~ I've called the crew ta deck one last time. Today we abandon the Scum at anchor. Here's ta hopin' we kin hang the bastard what killed ClockworkRuse. If not, I'm afraid we may be doomed.

The ‘lubbers say there be no honor among thieves, an’ they be right. There be no need fer honor when we gots the articles. Any soul dares break ‘em, he’ll be keelhauled an’ thrown to the deep. So watch yerselves.

The Ship’s Articles
  1. I’m yer cap’n! Yill do as I say, or I’ll feed ye to the sharks!
  2. Keep yer filthy hands off me rum!
  3. Friend er foe, we be on the same ship. Treat yer fellas with respect. And we be pirates, not sissies, so keep a thick skin about ye. Yer cap’n don’t like getting amidships o’ no squabbles.
  4. Yill leave yer bunks when I say, an’ yill douse the lamps when I say. Yer first three watches’ll be no more ‘en a fortnight an’ a half’n length. After that, every watch’s a fortnight. Yer time below decks’ll be four days exactly.
  5. Ye best look busy when yer on watch. If yer not singing chanties with yer mates in any three day spell, yill get a taste a me nine-tails. If I needs to whip ye twice in the same watch or four times altogether, I’ll throw ye overboard and gets me another lackey’n the next port o’ call.
  6. When there’s mutiny about, every one among ye gets a vote every watch. Just
    shout
    out who ye wants ta string up by sayin’
    vote: so-and-so
    . Ye can change yer vote if ye wants, an’ ye kin
    unvote
    if ye wants. If enough a ye votes fer the same fella before the watch is through, we’ll hang ‘em from the nearest yardarm. Ye kin
    vote: no lynch
    too… if yer a sissy!
  7. When yer on watch, ye kin all chatter ‘mongst yerselves, but there be no chatterin’ below decks: that sorta talk breeds mutinies.
  8. Nor will ye be wise to speak in no secret code. Hold yer tongues ta English, mates, an’ don’t be postin’ nuthin’ invisible neither. I know some a ye be plottin’ against me!
  9. We don’t want no lubber talk ‘round the ship. If yer usin’ block quotes, they best contain the words a’ yer mates an’ nothin’ more.
  10. Ye needs ta
    shout
    if ye wants the cap’ns attention! I gots the roar o’ the sea in me ears.
  11. Dead men tells no tails, so if ye gets hung or falls in battle, shut yer yap. Bein’ a pirate an’ all, I suppose you kin say “Arrrrrgggh!” with yer final breath, but that be the last of it.
  12. Talk like a pirate or I’ll curse ye fer ‘lubbers an’ make fun o’ yer mamas.

The watch began with a rude awakening. Some fool kicked your bunk roughly but he was gone before you were aware enough to throttle him. Now you’re standing on the pitching deck, waiting to find out why you were roused so early. The golden sun is cresting the horizon, lighting a clear sky that heralds calm winds, and there isn’t another ship in sight.

Just when you’re about to give up and climb into the nest for a nap, the captain emerges. He sashays over to the edge of the pilot’s deck and raises one booted foot up onto the rail. It’s his signature pose. You are a crewman on the infamous Scum o’ the Sea and the renegade Captain Morgan –known across the waves for his paranoia, his ruthlessness, and his fine spiced rum- is your stalwart leader. He glares at each of you in turn, raises a flask to his lips for a long pull, and then opens his mouth to shout over the roar of the sea.

“G’morning mateys! Some o’ ye be green-bellied lubbers, wonderin’ why ye were summoned ‘bove decks at this unholy hour. Some o’ ye be salty dogs, seasoned an’ true, an’ ye knows what I’m ‘bout to say. But some o’ ye knows what’s comin’ fer a different reason altogether… an’ curse ye ta the locker.”

“See, a few ports back, I gots me a fine cabin boy. Every night since, when I shouts fer me rum, he comes a runnin’ wit’ a sharp step an’ an aye-aye an’ all that rot. The lad was a fine student o’ the pirate ways and sure ta be an officer some day. ‘Cept last night be different. I shouts fer me rum, an’ gets no answer. I called fer the lad over an’ over to no avail, an’ then I set out to find him. Nothin’. Best I figure, he was thrown ta the waves. An’ ye all know what that means.”

Some of the older sailors sigh. It’s both legend and fact that several of Morgan’s crews were decimated when the paranoid old dog suspected that a mutiny was brewing.

“I smells somethin’,” he continues, as expected. “Somethin’ straight from the poop deck. There’s mutinous dogs among us, that’s fer sure. All a ye’ read the articles, an’ all o’ ye knows the score. So lets get ta the hangin’.”

Morgan glowers at the crew one last time, then he turns on his heel and struts back into his cabin. The rest of you are left on the deck, looking around at each other and wondering who is going to die first.


The first watch begins!
With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.

Any militia is a threat to us pirates, obviously he is a mole of some sort.

Being almost halfway to a lynch with the first... six or seven posts of the game?

I'm more interested in why you FoSed Jebus for putting on the second vote, though.

Because it essentially opened him up for the wagon you joined, are you telling me it's scummy to be suspicious of a wagon starting like that?
