"Arrr." Captain Redbeard said. "Once again we all wake up safe. And this time..."

He fetched something from below deck very quickly.

"...I found this in Barty's cabin! How my good friend Bartholomew had sunk so low to be an Imperial Soldier is beyond me, but it breaks my heart."

He pushed the bluecoat uniform into the water.

"Find another one today, or I'll be sending the lot of you to the bottom of the sea!"

"I mean it."

We did it! And no scum kill. I jailkept myself last night for what it's worth.

[Jack Alden]

Aye!  Now for the rest of these scurvy dogs!!

[Louisa Hammond]

 

I blocked Timothy again last night. Sooooo...

And Patrick jailed himself...

We've had no doctor claim as of yet so that's not something entirely worth considering as explanation for why there was no kill.

@Nigel Clayton see anybody last night?

[Malcolm Langley]

Argg! That be a mighty fine outcome! Rum for all and all for rum! No scum kill either. Maybe Louisa had someone to do with it. 

Maybe Louisa's block had something to do with it I should day. Sorry for me french. Though if Patrick jailed himself, he could have actually protected himself from being killed in the night. Many different possibilitys here.

Why didn't I think of that?  Makes more sense than us catching two scum. It's not off the table, just unlikely IMO.

Indeed I did.  I sat myself down in the dark corner just a wee bit past Triggs quarters.  He told ye true.  Afore the call of 13 hours Triggs put at least three locks on his door and pocketed the keys.  He was well and jailed within his own quarters.  Then a wee bit later I sees a blue hat come skulking past me.  I ducked down low and turned me good eye to the hall.  The blue hat spent nearly a quarter turn of the clock tryin to get into Patrick's cell.  But he couldn't get past the second lock.  He let up a fine curse he did and turned to flee.  Not before I watched a good look at his bearded face.  It was none other than Geoffrey "The Brave" Holton.  The Cowardly imperial scum.  I think it be time to send him down to meet old Barty.

[Timothy Dixon]

Excellent we caught a scum. Good work Town. Now this information that’s come to light is interesting. Mr Holton. It would be nice to hear from you and your thoughts on the matter.

[Patrick Triggs]

Now that is interesting! I knew it was a plan, Nigel.

I'm curious, though, because Geoffrey came to me this morning and said he tracked me last night.

[Nigel Clayton]

That sounds a wee bit too convenient.  If he do be a Pirate, why not go to ye ahead of time?

Argg! If Geoffrey be not a scummo, then that means no one else visited Mr. Triggs last night. This the scum kill was not blocked by Mr. Triggs, that means it must have been from Louisa's block. She blocked Timothy. I guess that there is the possibility the scum just didn't kill (what use would that be of) or a scary thought, recruited another lost sailor last night. 

[Henry Ogden]

Wow, those are fantastic results  Even better than I could have hoped for.  It looks like Barty was being protected from a lynch day one, meaning if any of our fine vote analysts want to go over it, we’ll be able to see a little more. 

Nigel, that watcher is pretty useful, eh? 

Patrick, what was Geoffrey’s reasoning?  I was pretty clear on the fact that you’re town.  Why would you be the choice to track?  If it were me, I’d have tracked Timothy to verify if they were out at night being nefarious.  Now, this is the crux, did Geoffrey contact you before or after the watcher’s info was public? And if they tracked you, why did that result prove you to be town in their eyes? And why did they even need to test that when Barty’s result could prove you town?

There are a lot of ominous questions dangling above Geoffrey’s head, and they better show up here soon with a believable story, or this day is going to be decided for in the wee hours.

[Joseph Finch]

Phew. I’ve been tossing and turning all night, afraid we’d sent an innocent man to the waters.

Now, I don’t think Nigel seeing Geoffrey targeting Triggs and claiming tracker is particularly scummy - but neither is it particularly townie. I would like to hear his reasoning, and of course, the timing of the tracker claim is vital.

Scum must have known Nigel would be watching Triggs, and likely protected too, so why would they try to target him at all? These are legitimate questions.

[Geoffrey Holton]

Well I didn't want to Track Timothy a second time. He did nothing night one. I'm still of the opinion he could be a mafia goon though so just because he didn't do anything then doesn't mean he has no role or significance. Since Bart was scum, Timothy could have inherited his kill, explaining the lack of a night kill tonight. 

I tracked Patrick last night because I wanted to be sure I could trust him and he wasn't lying. For a liar to be that deeply embedded in the Town Block would be disastrous for us. Fortunately his claim matches up with my result, so at least he's not lying about the fact that he targeted himself. This is also a nice turn of events because it lets us verify at least that Nigel isn't lying about being a watcher (or at least in talks with one) 

as for my night 2 results I'm not airing those publicly yet, but I really don't know if they'll be useful or not. I told them to Patrick though so I'll let him sort that out. 

[Nigel Clayton]

So you be wanting us to believe that you tracked him to be proven that the two of us are loyal Pirates?

 

Not that you tried to kill him.

I think the latter be a far simpler answer.

 

[Henry Ogden]

Your story is holier than a block of Swiss cheese  

So, the two other claims yesterday, you trusted them as a town block, but the jail keeper claim was unsure to you.  Hmm 

You tracked Timothy day one, coincidentally, with no results. Hmm.  And your night two results you want to keep secret... so nobody can counterclaim your lie publicly.  Convenient 

Quote

 

This day has really brought twists and turns. I'm deeply distrustful of there being both a Blocker and a Jailkeeper on the same side. Normally I'd assume one of those roles is Scum, specifically the blocker... but this feels way too early for such an outrageous gambit!

I agree with the concensus that one of the parties blocked should be lynched... and frankly I do trust Patrick over Louisa at this point. Even tho Timothy has been high on my list since day 1, considering the source I feel like Bart has far more potential of being scum. 

I'll Unvote: Louisa and Vote: Barty instead. He's been on my radar since Day 2 and since Remy was Town and that other guy was too, then it makes sense for the 3rd Day 1 candidate to have survived to be scum.

That said if he's Town we've got a lot of work to do untangling these claims and the fact that so many PRs are now out in the open is kind of concerning to me. 

 

That’s Geoffrey yesterday, when he switched his vote quite late from the trusted town block blocker, to the soon to come up scum Barty.  He did specifically say he trusted Patrick more than Louisa... convenient since Barty would come up scum.

i was going to do more investigating and fingerpointing, but you know what? This quote is about as damning evidence as you could possibly have.

The time to claim was in private, yesterday, to somebody.  It was unlikely any of the three were scum, and virtually impossible all three were scum.

You’re walking the plank today, dude 

And that is why compulsory voting is so important!

Oh, and before I forget... 

oh my gosh, I’m still alive!  I was sure that last night was going to be the night the scum took me out.  It seems I was yet mistaken.

You seem a bit too cheery this early in the morning. This attitude is the same that lead us to bad lynches in the past. Instead of taking the entire day to discuss, we found a target early, and rode their back tell they drowned. 

I think Geoffrey should be put on a spotlight on this beautiful day. He could very well have been a scummo. But something I said early is just as likley I say as the first option. What if Timothy be scum? Geoffrey went to visit Patrick, but Patrick protected himself, thus whatever Geoffrey plan to do was foiled be it good or bad. Timothy on the other hand be blocked by Louisa, could have been a scummo that wasn't even allowed to leave thy room. The feel it odd Lousia and I be the only ones to bring this up.  

Sorry I spelled your name wrong Louisa. Here be rum!

I tracked him because I'm a very cautious person and I didn't want to give away my role and the possible PR I tracked on night 2 just to any old person. Only the scum benefit from having so much information out in the open. Now that Bart is confirmed scum and I've also confirmed that Patrick didn't lie about his target I'm 99% convinced he's Town, but the same can't be said about you. I was pretty suspicious when you claimed out of the blue yesterday... and I didn't expect to see both a watcher and a tracker on the same side.

I don't trust Nigel or Louisa thank you very much. I tracked Patrick because I saw everyone claiming to him and needed to make sure he wasn't a liar. If he, the foundation of a Town block, was a liar, no one else would be safe. It didn't seem like people were claiming to you or to Louisa though so I went with the candidate that made the most sense. 

I trusted Patrick more than Louisa for a number of reasons but I continue to distrust Louisa because it would appear there are two "town aligned" players that have similar roles. Obviously they're subtly different but of the two of them, I've never seen a Jailkeeper on a scum team. I changed my vote late because I was at work. I would have voted for Bart as soon as Patrick and Louisa sorted out that they have different roles. 

Also I don't get the compulsory voting comment. Of course people should vote.  

[Henry Ogden]

Everyone was claiming to him?  Really?

Malcom, of course we have other stuff to discuss today, but the case against Geoffrey is already to the point that I don’t know what could change my mind.

You encouraged it dingus.

I’m pretty confident in the three town claims today.  It would be a massive risk for scum to false claim.  They killed night one, and shouldn’t know what, if any, ability their victim might have had.  (There’s basically one very unlikely chance, that they had a very rare role in the European Bricktillion, the day investigator, and even there, they’d use that info for private connections, not public ones, IMO, certainly not the way these roles came out today)  if you have a role, you should claim to one of the three, Louisa, Patrick or Nigel, preferably two of them, so they can have knowledge should one of them pass.  

Personally, I’d go so far as to say, if you’re a townie with a role who hasn’t claimed to those three by the start of day four, A) you will be really suss if you all of a sudden claim later on and B) you’re not playing this game well.  An active, cooperative town is the key to rooting out these imperial scum.  Play your part.

and Timothy, eyes are in you   If Barty is town, you’re at the top of the list.

Things are getting am wee bit confusing in here. 

Who would you have us lynch @Geoffrey Holton?

I'm still of the opinion that Timothy could well have inherited the kill. I know I'm not scum. And I know there wasn't a scum kill last night. It just makes the most sense to me that Timothy would logically be scum. He didn't do anything night 1 which doesn't mean he's not a member of the Imperials... just that he didn't have a role then. 

Truth be told I'm also deeply distrustful of Nigel and his claim. Watcher is typically a scum role. And it came out of nowhere...

[Jack Alden]

I have quite a few first mate duties to attend to at the moment and haven’t caught up yet, but wanted to share the investigator’s results with all this chatter going on.

N1 - Jack ( me)

N2 - Henry

N3 - Joseph 

All came back loyal pirate according to the investigator.

I also investigated Nigel on Night 2 - with a loyal pirate result.

I am not the investigator, but was given a one shot magnifying glass by someone claiming to be an inventor.  This gift and the result came via our captain,  it directly from the claimed inventor.

Not directly from claimed inventor.
