Argh mateys, It been a hard couple days. Lemme get me some back reading done. This unknown party reading be bad news. The Coffin be already sealed but let me put the first shovel on the lid. VOTE: THOMAS CHAPMAN

I kept an eye on myself last night. I kept it stuck tight to the crack in me door. Ye know what I saw? The Butcher, Standin outside me door all the night long. It would seem that Malcom was neither for us, nor against us. The worst kind of man. If ye can't pick a rope, stay off the mast.

Nay sir, only that I could place it on someone, or myself, to protect them through the night.

Triggs ye steered us true thus far. The strongest of allies come from rough waters it would seem. I cast my lot with the Captains Loyalists. Langley, you have my spot. VOTE: Malcom Langley

I can't believe that there is still doubt I am loyal to the captain. I couldn't stake out anyone last night as I was busy protecting Thomas. Given him the vest took all the time I had after sundown.

And the Emperials have dropped farther on the rungs of humanity. Even the most deprived man doesn't eat the flesh of another. Tis true, I placed the vest on Thomas myself. Though it seems it was unneeded as the bird was their target this night.

The Trap did turn true But we lost a loyal crewman as well, can we at least lay to rest the worries about Trigg and Myself?

The plan was to set a trap and see who stepped into it. For high tide or low the foot in that trap be Geoffrey's, so I say the foot on the plank be his as well. Wrong place, wrong night sir. Vote: Geoffrey

What started as a straight forward scum catch has gotten complicated. Triggs, ye were square on last night. Ye know I be loyal to the captain and I was at the receiving end of one of the gifts. Are you sure you want to point us down that stream?

He gave me the ability to protect someone, a one shot deal. I'm still holding onto that. Lookin like I might be needing it. I told the lot of you what I saw. That man Geoffrey tryin to get into Triggs room.

I am still holding the vest. I watched Patrick. That was how I knew that it be Geoffrey what targeted him.

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.

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

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.

Good Point Henry, Thanks for that. Good advice so a town block can start no matter who the scum take out tonight. They are plotting behind closed doors we need someone like you to take the lead on that as well.

The numbers are either very encouraging or about to be a tragic mistake. Either we caught a scum and his buddies be given up on Savin him, or we are about to send another loyal crewman into the drink.

It be a strange day Joseph. I can neither confirm nor deny narry a word of either claim. On night one I was in a barrel outside the Bird's room. He slept soundly that night no one targeted him. Last night I was behind the crates near Louisa's quarters. No one I could see put their targets on her either. I cannot know if either of them snuck out through their portholes though.

There has been a great deal said this day. Being absent for the evening takes its toll sometimes. A lot of talk of mechanics, claims and counter claims. If cards are being laid on the barrel head I suppose I will show my hand, mediocre as it may be. I've told ye all since the very beginning that I would be having my eye on ye. That be because I am the captains WATCHER. Though I must admit that the men I aint seen nothin on either of them. The odds have been against me. The vote for Lousia feels a wee bit too similar to yesterday. The scummy imperials hoodwinked us into removing a loyal pirate from the mix. IT was lookin to be the same on Louisa. But now my old buddy Patrick has turned the tables on that. If his tale be true, I think we may have finally found one of those imperial swine stinkin up our fine ship. If he be playing us false, than that will be dealt with on the morrow. I be throwing in with them. Vote: Bartholomew Brewster

At this point there is as much evidence of you being scum as there is me. If you saying I am scum because I didnt join the wagon you would fit into that same category right? I know for a fact I am a loyal Pirate. Gunning for me hard with no evidence, doesn't really shine the best light on you Mr. Soldier man.

Why? Because I pointed out how I thought that the Remy vote was too quick and full of scum, and I was right? I said from the start of it I thought it was fishy. Too many votes too fast for not to be a scum lead assault. Now you are pointing at me?

So if I Jump onto the wagon I am scum and if I don't jump on the wagon I am scum. Great logic there Triggs. He already has more than the votes needed to solidify the lynch, even if I knew for a fact he was scum, which I am still not certain of, my vote would not be needed and to switch this late in the day would simply bring more suspicion onto me. I still find the number of votes he got in the short amount of time suspicious. To me it seems like a whole lot of scum piled on early to get the Wagon rolling. We will have to see come tomorrow.

A claim that is not a claim, and blaming town for not reaching out to him in a PM for your current fate. Why would anyone risk that at this point in the game? Especially since you have obviously not been investigated yet. If you had than there would be someone speaking up for you. If you didn't already have enough votes for a lynch I think your last post would have sealed it for you.

If I were to switch to Remy now I would clearly be bandwagoning. He is already well over the number of Black Spots needed to send him into the deeps. The speed at which he accumulated his votes still concerns me. If he flips town, my concerns will be justified and motives will need to be examined. If he flips scum, much of the same. But where are they hiding, and how many do you think there be. Captain, can we get an update on the time and the current tallies?

I mean this early in the mission. There was a great many on board very quickly for it being only our second day into this voyage. I know that I am no imperial, and I would hope that none of those on the REmy wagon be either. BUT with that many votes that quickly it means one of two things. Either there are very few spies, or they are all in on that vote. If there are few than that is in our favor, if the latter and Remy flips loyal we are in danger of losing yet another pirate.

No one be paying attention to you because you be Barkin up the wrong spar. It worries me that there be so many votes this early. I hope it is that the number of imperials in our ranks be low.
