This is a Bogey-approved game, mates.
Day 7Day 6Day 5Day 4Day 3Day 2Day 1 / MechanicsPrologue:
Haven't seen you around lately. Y'must be new to these parts.
I figure you're here to find yourself a ship.
Why else would you come to a port, right?
You seem like the able, seaworthy type.
Now now, don't be in such a hurry to run off.
I've got a little proposal you might be interested in.
You're after adventure, aren't you? Fame and fortune?
Sailing the seven seas and beyond?
Of course you are. Well, you've come to the right island, mate.
We've got ourselves a nice little ship, and we'll be settin' sail in just a few days.
I've been asked to gather us up a few new faces for the crew.
All it's gonna require for you to join up is to make yer mark right here.
After that, well... see, our cap'n hasn't been too forthcoming about just where we'll be headed.
Supposedly he'll be lyin' low during the voyage. Can't be too careful these days.
Got his heart set on trackin' down something special, I hear.
What, gold?
That's old news, friend. There's bigger fish to discover in these waters nowadays.
Whatever it is, it's bound to be somethin' special.
It'll all work out once we're underway, never you mind.
What's the pay?
Well now, that depends on how the voyage goes.
Let's not be gettin' ahead of ourselves.
Time's a wastin', and we'd like to set out while the weather's on our side.
Won't be that way for long, what with the chill in the air.
...
Pirates? That's a good one.
Haven't seen one of them in years.
Practically a myth nowadays.
Still, never can tell what you'll find on the high seas these days.
It's bound to be an interesting voyage, yes indeed.
_________________________________________________________
This thread is for signing up to a Phalla, aka Mafia, forum game based on
Pirates of the Caribbean, among other assorted influences.
The objective is generally for the players to find, and ideally kill, an evil minority from the majority, through voting and/or meticulous scrutiny.
You can find more details on how these games generally function
here.
More details will follow as signups progress, but a few notices upfront:
-There will be more than one kind of vote
-Players may be subject to conversion mechanics
-The film(s) may not be the only source material that comes into play.
Beyond the above, this will be a mostly traditional game.
Knowledge of the source material may prove helpful, but is not necessary.
Clarifications
Making more than the customary (1) goodbye post in the game thread after you are killed is against the Rules of the game. Dead players are not allowed to talk about the game or any of the mechanics in any of the threads in the forum. Failure to comply will result in a tempban by me.
Requests for clarifications can be posted in
orange.
-Players who have not casted a vote within two days can and very likely will be killed for inactivity, seen in the results as 'jailed', or possibly another means of death. Their roles will be revealed, and they will be removed from the game.
Posting in the thread without a vote does not make a player 'active'.
I'm generally not that harsh on inactivity, but due to the player roster, abstaining from voting will result in making the game unfairly difficult for those who contribute, so it will be dealt with as necessary.
You don't have to post religiously or anything, but it's bound to be more helpful for the crew than just placing a vote.
-Vote retractions can be done in the same color, i.e. !retract Hylianbunny / !vote Christine
You don't have to retract your vote; if you make a new vote without retracting the old, I'll just count the newest one, but it'll make my life easier if you do.
The Captain's execution is final.

I know early reveals are generally considered a bad move, but I honestly believe this game's mechanics favor this particular action. I need to be out in the open if I am going to be useful to you. I was actually planning on doing this earlier, but I needed to see how many conversions per day I was looking at. Also, I wanted to see what would happen to Theidar.
I need a seer and all guards on me immediately. Do not bother with the captain-- I imagine I am one of the most powerful good characters. If the captain kills me this round, then you know he is evil.
I am the captain you want. It seems pretty clear that I am the good guy captain intended for this game. I am a vigilante, but only while I am captain. Putting me in power nets you guys a trustworthy captain, a good network and three kills a day: my kill, my captain's kill, and the mob vote (which I and the network will tell you to vote for). As you can see, we will be able to move through any suspect list fairly rapidly. I should also mention that I share the win condition of the general crew.
So if I can't kill anyone yet, how can I prove myself to you?
Easy: you are going to kill me. Or you're going to try, anyway. Everyone !vote Jimothy. I will live. I don't think I am asking too much, and it's the best way to prove I am telling the truth. If the captain tries to kill me, he is evil. Savvy?
If I already have your trust, go ahead and !vote Jimothy. Captaining me and lynching me at once would be fine. Since you don't have much reason to believe me at this point, I'll understand if you pick another captain tonight. The important part right now is that you lynch me so that I can prove myself to you. Although it now occurs to me that if we wait, the captain could be converted and try to kill me. So maybe it is best if I am made captain this round. You decide.
Every day that I am not captain is a day that I am useless to you. It is important that I be made captain soon, both because we need the extra kill and because we can't afford to wait until the conversion faction(s?) get too far. I'll explain more once I am made captain.
Why am I outing myself? I'm mad. And thank goodness for that, because if I wasn't this would probably never work. The fact is that I am simply not popular enough on these forums to win the captain position on my own. You wouldn't vote for me unless you knew who I was. And if another outed good guy started telling you to vote for me, the bad guys would know I was a good special anyway.
So again, this is all I am asking:
1. Guards and a seer on me.
2. Vote me to die, and vote me captain if you want to. Regardless, vote me captain the next day.
3. Don't touch my dirt.
Addendum: The above was written this morning, to be posted after the narration. I did not know about Munkus, but I wish he had stayed hidden (if he's telling the truth). The reason I didn't just scrap this reveal is explained above, in that I need to be captain to kill. Optimally, I would be the only revealed goodie.
Also, the above count as my votes for Day 2. And the "insult" quote was just a particularly funny way to reveal myself, I know nothing about insulting as a game mechanic. As far as I knew, it didn't exist.
Oh, and apparently either there were no conversions or the usual "bad guys have grown in number" is not in this phalla.
Edit: This needs to get around. If the good guys are to win, I need to be captain, and soon. I'll probably post it a few more times tomorrow.
Ass.

from it's watery grave...
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home!
Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.
Explains why Zot was hyper crazy
Jimothy is a retard for doing this, regardless of whether or not he is Jack Sparrow which I doubt he is because of the nature of the reveal. I would expect Jack Sparrow to be more powerful than me. I am the Legendary Pirate, but I am not Jack Sparrow. I'm not revealing my true name because I know this game has some extra mechanics (i.e. insulting people to kill them) and I don't want to reveal my whole hand.
I need a guardian protecting me tonight. I am immune from most forms of assault, but I do have a weakness. It is important to note that one of the avenues of assault is conversion, and I am immune to that.
I SE Phalla reveals.

Not publicly, ta say the least.
What would you have me do, not become captain and gain a kill power, or put it off long enough that converts would lock me out of it?
As for power, it sounds like we are very alike, but my kill always works (if I am captain).
to give up my captaining chair
dang

urghhhh
why aren't you dead
I just watched At World's End today, actually.
A 'P' mark has something to do with Beckett and Sparrow. At least, Sparrow's mark was highlighted while Beckett was talking to him.
I'd be a much better Captain.
Vote ChicoBlue for Captain.
have you seen the movie? when pirates are caught the first time, that is branded on their arm
no
wrong
what
I am immune to lots of attacks, you blithering retard.
You are not, savvy?
The smart thing to do would have been to reveal this in secret instead of yammering it to high heaven.
I can assure you that the moment you become captain, conversion ho!
Usually on the forehead.
so what do we reckon
(jimothy-wise)
yes, ive seen the movies. i was just looking into something waaaaay too much. 3 exams/2 days, im starting to go crazy.
also, a man, just apparently a feminine one. who wants to braid my hair

I think that would prove rather difficult for our enemies.
And I don't want to let too much loose about how attacking me works.
you're better off that way
efff yooouuuu
1. He claims a power that can only be used if he's in the captain's chair.
2. He can't prove to us that he is Jack until he gets the captain position and starts killing people (so it'll be day four before we can know).
3. He's not immune to any attacks.
By this account, it's
A: Retarded that he revealed himself in this fashion.
B: Extremely likely that he's going to be converted as soon as he's captain.
or
C: He's a bad-guy who is vying for captain-head to give them an extra kill for two nights, since we wouldn't be able to do anything against him until he sent in two kill orders.
So Theidar killed me? If so, fucker I backed you up.
Well I will graciously take my leave and wish the best of luck to everyone.
Oh and
Okay, you are either making way to many assumptions or briefly skimmed my reveal.
he also either seems to know a lot more than he's letting on, or is making quite a few baseless assumptions.
