Still waiting on answers from back in March, so I'm taking advantage to tack on a few more ships to be sold. Ships I wish to condemn to the prize court: Hammerhead (class 5) - formerly ESL - unmocced Mimi (class 4a) - formerly Mardier - unmocced Misty (class 4f) - formerly Mardier - unmocced

The loss of the Driftwood Heart is worthy of a sad ballad (best shipname in the game so far), but I’m happy that we could once again cause chaos on the brick seas. ’Take all you can - give nothing back’

Nice! ?

Question: What is the historic inspiration for the architecture of Alexport?

(This type of news tidbit always improves my day)

Back from my work up north and enjoying some catch-up reading. Fascinating (if confusing at times) discussions so far. That scum trap night 3 (?) was inspired stuff.

Well....

Teehee

Welcome to the 'Rats Captain Flint!

A nice vignette. Good job.

Mar, 619 - Parts Unknown To whom it may concern, I wish to condemn the unmocced vessel 'Hammerhead (5)' as a prize. it came into my possession during the most recently completed MRCA. -Missive from the Yellow Skull fleet ---x---x--- Also a little book-keeping: 1) I sold the Magnolia (3) to the prize court back in Oct: It is still showing up in the account sheet under my name and I can't seem to figure out if I ever got paid for it. I'd sell it again, but I'm an ethical guy. 2) Could I have the captured Stormbringer II transferred to my ownership in the account page please?

That is a lovely use of the green with white trim. Is that a home-made sign?

You tried a lot of new techniques and most came off nicely. That sniper rifle threw me off though - I find it very discordant. I really liked the post box and the stairwell pic with the chandelier in the foreground.

Your shoreline could have used and bit of 'wiggle' to it (with a 4x1 plate added here or there), because it arrow straight and looks like a pool side, the gaggle on the side walk are all square to the buildings and a little angle to their posing would have made it a bit more natural looking, and that pub pic is a bit dark.. But those are just minor things really - you've captured the rebuilding of the road & town clean-up quite well.

You captured it perfectly Bart. Well done.

Sitting in Iqaluit atm (had to fly up for work yesterday) with lousy internet so I’ll have to brief. -Thank you for hosting Kotz. -For the record ‘the rant’ was real and left me bummed out for a couple days. Poor Fhomess was very sympathetic and got poorly used in the process. -While the scum team played as best we could, this result came down more to luck than anything. My surviving a role cop on a PGO thanks to the town blocker was extraordinary.

Great start!

Wow! I'm delightedly impressed. A lot of good stuff there.

I was busy this afternoon and did not expect to come back to this. I won't be voting for Diane because there are too many things bugging me about what's occurred. 7 votes out of 9. 1 dissenter besides the lynchee. That screams to me something is off right off the top. I have been in PMs with Diane/Fhomess. At no time to did she make any overt attempt to influence my vote; we just bounced ideas off each other. Were she scum, I think her interactions would have been more pointed. I don't like this statement one bit: Why state this? It makes me nervous that this is result is being pushed through without giving people time to think about it. Lastly, I don't trust Tariq's claim of commuter... but not for obvious reasons. I have openly been suspicious of Dr. James since Day 2. Now when we get near the end, he/she suddenly claims a town role that is essentially a vanilla that can be untargettable. If I wanted to put some weight behind my blind claim this would be a great PR role to choose, but If we are going into what may be our last night of action WHY would I openly broadcast to the scum that they shouldn't target me and waste their kill attempt? Of course the problem is that Benson is the one who actually put this out publicly and that is where I get worried. Was it a sloppy decision or covering tracks? I don't want to vote Benson because all our theories are based on him and Bob in the town block. Even though Bob started this run on Diane, he was allegedly using the info passed down to him from the investigator, and both he and Benson can't be a godfather*. So one of the two is town for certain, and I say it is Bob. Between this and him spearheading Mostlytechnic's lynch, I now have doubts about Benson. It means nothing at this point in the day, but I am sticking with my Dr. James/Riley working together theory. Tariq for reasons above and previously mentioned, and Jluck for contributing little of substance today (again) but swooping in to put the deciding vote on Diane. I am going to switch my order though so when you go back through vote patterns it will stand out. Vote: Riley (jluck) *While it is an unlikely scenario that scum is composed of two godfathers and nothing else, it is not completely impossible given we have the wrinkle of a time limit. Of course Khscary clearing both is so unlikely that if true we're doomed anyway, so no use worrying about it.

I went back through voting patterns to try and figure more things out. It makes two assumptions (LMF = blocker, Khscary = investigator) Khscary was blocked night 1. That was some bad luck. Bob/Bob voted for Benson/LMF days 1-3 and was very aggressive on him. So if the investigator cleared him, it was only during night 3. That adds up. He voted on jluck day 4. LMF has voted the following (day 1/day 2/day 3/day 4): Bob/JamesN/Mostlytechnic/jluck. Day 2-4 his votes are in step with Khscary. If we throw out day 1, Zepher mirrored Khscarymovie's pattern day 2-4. Not sure if that means anything, but that pattern is there to see. Players who voted for LMF day 3 include: Asphalt, Bob, Kintober, Lady K, Tariq. My guess is there is a higher chance of scum in that group, but it really means they weren't in contact with Khscary or disagreed. I have been talking to someone in PM (OOC: gasp, I know. The game is so much more interesting now though). We did some comparisons of our theories, and Tariq came out on top in a ven diagram of our suspicions. I do think he is scum, but I also realize we can't afford a split vote today, or a wrong vote for that matter. Bob & LMF, I'd like a bit more reasoning on a Diane vote please before I'd back this. Public or private is fine. New Post! (please forum, don't show up as an edit!!!!) Sorry Bob, I missed that last sentence somehow while I had multiple windows open trying to sort info. I see the whole case you've laid out.

Hurray! The arrival of the KPA always brightens my day. Now to dig into the juicy details...

That certainly could not have gone any worse. I'm not sure. We desperately need a "gotcha moment" to turn the tables on the scum, so giving out too much info seems counter-productive. Having said that, you have already claimed publicly so it is not like you are going to surprise anyone either and block targets aren't great evidence.

So... how are all the KPA editors feeling today?

Mesabi, you and your overly simplistic land MOCs certainly take flak (and some very much deserved), but this definitely shows improvement in your ship building. While I can't speak for everyone, I am happy to see the effort put in. A big step forward with your shaping over this one. Personally, I'd add an off-set colour to the back end as trim: blue. gold. yellow, grey would all work well. Also, your rudder seems to have fallen off.

Um... I am not voting for you. In fact, I haven’t since my day 1 prodding to get you to post something. I have been voting for Tariq and accused you of trying to bully me off that vote in Day 3. Why do you keep bringing me up btw? Did you get the character name wrong, cuz most of the above doesn’t apply to me.
