Bob Posted March 18, 2020 Players Only Please in your anonymous accounts! --- Day One: Avast! It was the dawn of a new day at Fort Eldorado in the LEGO Caribbean. "We're ready to raise the flag, Governor." Captain Hendry said. "Band at the ready!" the conductor shouted. The Fortress Band began to play the Imperial Soldiers' National Anthem, whatever that might be. The rest of the fort stood at attention as the flag of the Imperial Soldiers was raised. Captain Redbeard looked unusually pleased today, however, as he sat through another morning anthem. He had been in prisoned for months now. A short while later, the garrison gathered in the main courtyard to hear the Governor's speech. "I'm afraid I have grim news today. There are traitors in our midst!" "Oh no!" someone shouted "Won't someone think of the children?" another asked. "Indeed." the governor continued. "It seems Captain Redbeard has encouraged some of you to betray your country in return for serving aboard his new crew!" "He's literally right there. Why haven't we executed him yet?" "He has very good lawyers." Governor Broadside said. "Instead, we're going to take a page from his book and play mafia to try and root out the scum! Every day, pick someone to send to the firing squad." The assembled group looked a bit distressed. Mafia backfired on Redbeard. Would it do the same to them? --- There is 72 hours left in the day. With 16 players, a majority of 9 is required to send someone to the firing squad. Players (16): Governor Broadside - Governor of the Fort, NPC Lieutenant Patrick "Paddy" Triggs - Former pirate, NPC Elijah Hendry - Captain of the Caribbean Clipper Paul Lapointe - Lieutenant, First Mate Ansel Michel - Lieutenant Benjamin Samuels - Lieutenant William Mitchell - Seaman Mitchell Lahore - Seaman Arthur Hargrave - Sergeant of the Garrison Warren Pratt - Soldier Louis Townsend - Soldier Morgan Marchand - Soldier Reginald Aston - Soldier Zachary Mercier - Soldier Ethan Dunn - Soldier Robert Walsh - Trumpeter Kendall Odell - Drummer Liam Webb - Flag Bearer Rules (VERY IMPORTANT):1) Every player has received their own character account. Make sure you do not post in thread with your normal Eurobricks account. This game is anonymous, you are not to disclose your character anywhere on the forums. In thread, you must not say who you actually are. 2) In addition, it is a bit of an honor rule that you do not share who you are to any other player, even if they are on your team, in private.3) You are either a Loyal Soldier or a Pirate Traitor. The town need to eliminate the scum and the scum need to outnumber the town. In the hopefully unlikely event of a parity, the scum will win. Any third party characters have their own win conditions.4) There are no recruits or any action similar in this game.5) A game day will last 72 hours. You may vote as soon as the day starts. Note, even if a majority vote is achieved, the day will not end early. Nights will last at most 48 hours, during which you can send in your night actions. Do not talk about the game outside of the threads.6) The alignment of players who have been lynched, as well as those who may have died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. The person playing the character that died will not be revealed until the end of the game.7) You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you by the game host via PM. This includes the details of your character and role, as well as any night actions results.

Robert Walsh Posted March 18, 2020 I myself find these news truly distressing, lads. Traitors inside friendly walls! They must be after my shiny trumpet too, but by His Majesty's name, I'll be damned if I let any treacherous scum take it from me! Just now, Ethan Dunn said: Vote: Arthur Hargrave because his face is all squashy. Clearly Scum. You don't really mean our good Sarge would betray our garrison and the Crown, do you? Too many indistinguishable faces in the ranks of privates however I must say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warren Pratt Posted March 19, 2020 I, Warren Pratt, soldier of the Imperial Army, stand at attention at my appointed sentry point, musket at my shoulder just as I had learned in drill over two years of exemplary service. “Pirates, in the Fort?! By gawd’s good graces, we’ll run those no-goodnicks off in no time, I’m sure” I pronounce silently to myself; because as a rank and file private I am not allowed to speak on duty. I do a lot of inner monologuing instead to help pass the time. All the same I’m pleased with the notion of executing (by firing squad no less) some pirates in the coming days, as the world could do with a few less men of ill repute. And yes, monologuing is my most certainly a word, though I am not sure I spelt it properly. Unfortunately I do not have an inner dictionary to refer to.

I agree with squashy-face. Morgan do you think I'm placing a serious vote? Do you think that I believe squashy faces are Scummy? Voting immediately may be Scummy but you skipped over the reasoning which I would hope would be obvious was a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mitchell LaHore Posted March 19, 2020 Morgan's reaction most definitely seems over the top, but squishy face does have red facial hair! Clearly he must be related to Redbeard! Or maybe it's a good/evil sibling type thing like Wu and Garmadon, Cain and Abel, or Luke and Jar Jar Binks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Walsh Posted March 19, 2020 Not to be nitpicky sir lads, but shouldn't scum buccaneer supporters to be hanged? That'd be quite the show and no usage of ammunition. Yes, I'm definitely passing on my idea to the good ol' Cap'n when I be leaving me post. Anyway, do we agree that Ethan's impudent remarks towards a commanding officer was just mere joke? Clearly caused sunstroke from previous guarding duties, too flippant and obvious for an opportunistic tratior. Clearly a good basis to give him a bad name if someone would take the opportunity on the other hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kendall Odell Posted March 19, 2020 Vote early and vote often is the advice I’ve heard a lot. And I think Ethan was doing just that. Let’s be honest here Day One votes are usually based on weak reasoning. Anyway in the meantime shall I play some drums? *bash* *bash* *bash* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for me I don't like pseudovotes and explicit warnings about monitoring a fellow soldier as it is too obvious to point out. Something more likely a scum would do than actually voting. This is my reasoning at the moment. Vote: Morgan Marchand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ansel Michel Posted March 19, 2020 Voting? I thought this was a monarchy? Robert Walsh brings up a good point about the pseudovotes and warning other players for voting. But to be fair, Reginald called out Ethan first and did not cast a vote like Morgan did, and Ethan was the first to cast his vote. And our drummer speaks a lot of sense, Day 1 is a nonsense day with weak reasoning. But does Day 1 have good seasoning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And our drummer speaks a lot of sense, Day 1 is a nonsense day with weak reasoning. But does Day 1 have good seasoning? For the Imperial record, I did call into question Ethan's hasty move to vote. But I did so for the well being of the men living within our fort. There are traitors in our midst! We must be 100% vigilant and find these traitors to the Crown as swiftly as possible! Our brave Lieutenant speaks truth when he says that Day 1 only brings about weak reasoning. That is why I cast no vote to begin with. I merely found Ethan's comments worthy of note and commented as such. I am a lowly foot-soldier in her Majesty's army. But as our Governor has seen fit to give each and every one of us a vote I shall use my privilege with gusto! If a traitor seems to be presenting himself I shall attack him with my vote, not mere words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
