I said certain roles existed but I didn't say who had what.

This reasoning is valid; making an uncontested investigator claim takes a lot of stuff coming together, and a lot of confidence to boot. When voting opens I'll be voting for Malcolm also.

All we can take at face value at the moment is that Joseph and Malcolm are on the same team. If I recall correctly, Thomas has investigated Jack, Henry and Joseph. Absolutely Henry's actions in the past days clear him far better than an investigation, so that leaves Jack and Joseph. I am inclined to think it's the mason claim that is more suspect or, rather, I am more inclined to believe that Jack is town, for these reasons: his one-shot investigation from Gordon cleared Nigel, in whom we can be confident; also, if Jack were scum, I doubt Thomas would still be here. Like Henry, Nigel is cleared as far as I'm concerned, for catching Geoffrey on Night Three. He was flailing to muddy the waters for when he flipped scum. In earlier days, Geoffrey didn't say much and did some token fingerpointing at Henry, Timothy Barty. On Day Three, he said he wanted to lynch Louisa in spite of her claim... now I wonder why that would be? Almost forgot to say it for the benefit of everyone on the ship: I jailkept myself again last night, stayin' alive to catch scum. Let's make one walk the plank for the third day in a row.

I don't think this ship has any tendies, but it does have plenty of rum! As of yesterday the non-public claims were Jack, Thomas and Henry.

Henry was bang on in fingering Geoffrey but it's not good that after 2 nights of no-kill there is indeed a night kill. Jack and I could have vouched for you instead of revealing this! I can happily confirm that, while I have not had direct contact with Thomas, I did arrange for Nigel to protect him last night.

Arrrr, 'tis but a mirage! Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

Yes, when he claimed to me and I asked him for more information about his actions.

It doesn't make her more scummy either, so I don't know what you're trying to achieve here. Yup. I knew I could target myself but the trap hinged on the scum not knowing that. Timothy does have a claim and a couple of people (including me) are in on it. Plenty of information hasn't been said publicly in the interest of keeping scum in the dark. Part of the point is to get a definitive answer on you since all the evidence points your way. And yeah, you did make a mistake trying to confirm me; you could have waited for your buddy Barty to flip.

Henry and Nigel are right. Set a trap to catch scum and Geoffrey comes knocking? That's evidence and we need to take it seriously. It was dumb to fixate on having 11 claims going around- all those other suspicions can wait until tomorrow. Unvote: Gordon Smith Vote: Geoffrey Holton

Should be clearer: I don't doubt you're an inventor. I doubt that you're a town inventor. In the balance of investigations / masons and protections / blocks, there is just too much going on. We know that everyone has a claim. So some people must be lying.

I can confirm this. This is a bit of a misrepresentation when it comes to me. All that happened there was that I mentioned a counterclaim to Louisa existed, a bit of a while before I claimed in the Day Three thread. This has sat uneasy with me. There are too many informational and protective roles around and as far as I know the watcher, tracker and cop claims stack up. Vote: Gordon Smith

Does the cap'n tell you this information once a gift has been used? That seems... powerful Plus the other public claims of blocker, jailkeeper, watcher, tracker, and masons. Privately, everybody has a claim. Too many informational roles for it to be true. We need to be thinking about a godfather, and we need to think about whose claims might not actually be true.

Indeed it came out of nowhere, but if Watcher is usually scum then what does that make Tracker?

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.

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

If I may do an informal vote count: Vote Count: Barty Brewster - 11 (Patrick, Louisa, Timothy, Nigel, Henry, Joseph, Geoffrey, Malcolm, Jack, Thomas, Gordon) Timothy Dixon - 1 (Barty) Malcolm, Jack, Thomas, and Gordon all come in after the requisite 7 votes have been attained.

OK. I feel like I've been an idiot to discount the possibility of both a jailkeeper and a regular ol' blocker. If we lynch Louisa and she's town, we all know I'm next and that would be bad because I am town. I do believe that my choice to target Barty paid off, whether or not he is in league with Louisa (which is a possibility but not at this point certain.) I will Unvote: Louisa Hammond Vote: Bartholomew Brewster

Yes, I am counterclaiming. Strictly speaking, I'm the jailkeeper, so I can take someone to the brig to both protect and block them. I tried to be more subtle about it: On Night One I blocked Malcolm and on Night Two I blocked Barty (thanks for voting for Louisa already, by the way, Barty). I chose Barty because, entertaining the idea that Louisa is scum, it seems like Barty is a probable buddy considering how the votes went on Day One and how Louisa reacted to them. And here we are: no night kill and a prophylactic claim of blocker. I want to point out for the record that Geoffrey, Gordon and Henry all took around 24 hours to contribute to this here manuscript after Louisa claimed early in the Day. Presently Louisa has 5 votes, and Henry has sort of promised to vote for her too, which will leave her with 6.

Why would someone claim to me indeed. What on earth makes you say that? Here we agree. I also have no intention of causing a mislynch.

It's a counterclaim. I can't say much more until Timothy and Louisa play their hands. I'm interested in whom Louisa claims to have blocked on Night One. Actually, yes. That presents less risk of revealing unnecessary information. Look how reticent Remy was to tell anything! I think claiming early is your gambit to make someone else overplay their hand so that you gain additional info. It seems with all this talk of Louisa's claim, everyone's forgotten that voting is open. I know for a fact that Louisa is full of the ol' weevil biscuits from head to toe, so I have no problem with Vote: Louisa Hammond Aye aye, pirate hat man.

That's a point. Not exactly. If you look again at what I wrote yesterday, there is as much evidence against you as there was against Remy, except Remy was essentially silent and you didn't have a wagon going. New information has come to light indicating that Louisa's claim is false.

Yeah! There are two types of scum: those who drive the wagon and those who maintain plausible deniability, and you are in the latter category. Like clockwork! Except on this here pirate ship I be havin' no clock, so: Like sundial! "potential" is the key word. Surely make some kind of case for yourself before outing your role? Also claiming Blocker isn't all that great because in all likelihood the Imperial Soldiers also have a blocker, so it's a safe claim if you're scum. Also, Louisa, if you find Gordon suspicious, why did you do exactly what he says?

Sorry did I miss something? I know us pirates be mostly illiterate but I can't find such a thing in the transcripts of these proceedings.

Can I vote for Nigel yet? Not for a little bit? OK.

if you don't want to claim in public, pick a few people in private and claim to them. But claiming without actually claiming isn't much of a help. If you're so sure Remy is guilty, then why don't you change your vote to him? Oh wait, you're staying away from the Remy wagon because you're a scumbo.
