I've explained myself the best I can. I've shown you the PMs I sent. I didn't mention any fleet of foot thing in my PMs because I didn't need to.I am not the athlete. I am not a pirate.
Something happened. Barkeep flubbed, maybe. He's done it once with the PM he sent to pennywisesb. That said, I'm done. I won't mess with this game anymore. I'm not going to get frustrated in this game by trying to convince you otherwise. Good luck, and I hope one of you is happy with the gold I sent you.

I think they may only be able to bail him out for free once: Swashbuckler role: Friend with the Foes -- This Pirate through his debonair attitude will once per game be able to bail any person out of jail, including himself, for free. So -- if they want to keep bailing him out, it's going to get a lot tougher for them to hire mercenaries. Woot! I knew he was bad. VOTE BLADE

Well, I don't know how to respond to that. Dude, it's a game. And really, you've been playing this long enough to know that the suspicion of you is perfectly legit from our viewpoint.

So, what about Desnudo? He was found to the SE in E5. Anyone see him?
Only person I saw this turn was Grammaticus as I moved to D3.

I went west this time and did not see anyone. Great job on tagging Blade as a pirate Hoops. Looks as though we could possibly be on to two different pirates by the end of day 2! Keep it up.
Vote Blade I like KWit's plan. If they have to keep wasting AP to bail Blade out, plus us GPs, I think it will become alot safer around here, especially in the far out regions.....

Blade, you're off your usual game here. There's so much wrong with that: 1) It costs 7 GP to bail someone out -- I don't believe anyone had that much money after day 1. 2) The only other person who could have bailed you out was the swashbuckler pirate -- who is either you or would only do it if you were a fellow pirate. 3) You STILL haven't explained what you really did morning 1. Do I really need to go on?

heres my take on blade....he is doing exactly what he did last game....asking us to believe a bunch of crap that we have absolutley no way of confirming (what square sun was actually in) while spouting about his tremendous importance to us, and how much of a mistake we are all making....how much does the gun cost?

So it looks like either Blade is the swashbuckler and set himself free, or the swashbuckler set him free and a third pirate followed Desnudo in the opposite direction from the jail and killed him. I'm not sure if they would have been able to double back after freeing Blade and get Des.
How about anyone who moved west toward the police station? Did you see anyone? It may be the swashbuckler.....

It would be a really really bad strategy for a TH to unilaterally release Blade even if he knew Blade was a good guy. The fact that he's running free tells me even more certainly that he is a pirate.
Why? Because now we're just going to vote him back in. If a TH knows that Blade is good and that's why he freed him, come forward with everything you know NOW or we're gonna waste a vote. Otherwise, Blade goes back in the clink. |

ooc: Blade reminds me of Blair in The Thing...
There are a few probabilities to Blade's release: 1. Blade afforded bail 2. A fellow Treasure Hunter afforded bail 3. Swashbuckler freed him 4. Blade freed himself I doubt #1, I strongly doubt #2...wouldn't he know who set bail for him? #4 present the case that Blade is the Swashbuckler; #3 implicates Blade as a pirate /unless/ the Pirates freed him to cause suspicion and make us waste another day voting him back in the brig. The fly in the ointment is that we have Hoops stating what he is. So now, we have to decide whether Hoops is forthright, or that Blade is.

There really wasn't much any of us could do on day 1 that needed to be such a big secret from the pirates. We didn't have any money or equipment. So you watched someone, or hid or dug if you were a treasure hunter. That's why your secrecy is what damned you, especially when you said you were just an athlete. And again, you still haven't said what exactly you did. So in my mind the only big secret you could have had is that you killed Sun.

AP1:HIDE
AP2:MOVE to C5 AP:HIDE AP4:Watch anyone in C5(conditional order) AP5IG I got 1 gold, on my AP4 watch i saw Sndvls moving to C6, with someone behind him aways...that how i know he died in C6, as he moved there on AP4. While watching sndvls i saw the person following(not his identity) and someone else in C5...that person has STILL not spoken up, which i find utterly hilarious now. I got 1 dig from my 1 gold. And barkeep told me by PM i couldnt HIDE twice again after i took these actions. He posted it in thread as well. I figured the Scourge role wouldnt be able to kill me if i kept hiding, and apparently barkeep agreed

I never thought of this. If, and its a big if, Hoops is in fact bad, this play would make a ton of sense for the pirates. No one has officially cleared hoops yet as far as I can remember, so maybe we should be very careful trusting him. I think Blade is obviously trying to pull something again, but I just wanted to point out the other side of the coin. I don't want to get trapped trusting Hoops to the point that he takes us all for a ride if the above scenario is true. Any thoughts?

The problem is...that you can only free once as the swashbuckler, and as for pooling the cash for 7 gp, it seems somewhat strange to do so...

Bullshit. Why is this such a big secret that you lied repeatedly to cover up your actions? There is nothing in that list of actions taht is any use to anyone. And it still makes no sense for a TH to free you. None. A pirate had to free you or you freed yourself. |

It's certainly possible that hoops is bad, but it would be a huge gamble for him to put himself on the line like this just to cause some suspicion for 1 night. I don't think a pirate would feel that it was worth the risk. |

dola, would you have us believe that hoops and ardent coordinated that? just so hoops could then step in at the last minute and free you.that would mean hoops and ardent are both pirates, and while i am pretty sure ardent is, i dont think hoops would make that kind of a blatant play this early.

I've been thinking about this. If hoops is bad he's playing it very well. All I know about hoops is that he saw where I was at on morning 1 and apparently was in the same spot (F6), since he zeroed in on how much gold the square produced per dig without anyone giving the rate. That leads me to believe he wasn't involved in Sun's death (B6). Obviously that doesn't clear him as a pirate, just for that morning. Too bad we can't verify roles on people who haven't been arrested.
