It took me a while to return to my senses, even after the last death. She had maintained her dignity, I suppose. The doctor said it was likely a cyanide capsule that had done it. I don’t know who she was, but her passing seemed to being an end to the violence. For that I will be forever grateful for her choice.

Wins, Charlotte, scum jailor took her own life D10.

We pulled into Seattle shortly after. The skeleton crew that remained on the ship said little and feigned misunderstanding when the men in suits came. I felt compelled to be truthful with them, and after a day’s worth of questioning, was released along with the doctor, the Frenchman, and the man that had to shot the madman. I am grateful for the chance to see my family again, but when I think of all those that will not, it is almost too much to bear.

I will carry their memory with me for the rest of my life. I will see and feel the lightning in my dreams.

CONFIDENTIAL

REPORT: HEBI MARU INCIDENT

Agents recovered the body of the woman described in survivor’s accounts and confirmed the presence of cyanide. Based on the papers collected in her cabin, it seems that she and her cohort were German agents. What purpose they had on the ship is unknown, though based on our sources in England, it seems the UK had its own cell aboard the ship. Troubling that we were excluded from whatever operation they might have been conducting.

We’ve confiscated the ship while we look into some of the more…colorful claims from the survivors. The crew is playing dumb, and there’s nothing we can really do to hold them.

We have not been able to locate the corpse of the “madman.” One must assume it was lost to the sea.

Will issue further reports as necessary.


Maerlyn and Gaspy achieved their win conditions!

“I still don’t understand why you needed me there when all you wanted was an observer.”

“Not to be rude, but you don’t need to understand. You’ll find a bonus enclosed for you.”

A pause.

The flavor for this was really cool - did you come up with it yourself, or is it adapted from something else?

Thanks taste, that was fun and bowmore and nep-nep were great partners. All glory to nep-nep, bowmore and I would probably still be on the boat. I enjoyed my time on the Obra DinnHebi Maru. Great attempt at the end wins!

This game was fun and I really enjoyed it thank you taste.

Good work wins you really had me guessing in what was a super tough position for you. The lightning plays were brilliant.

I'm glad one of the only people who didn't die was the guy effectively doomed to die by flavor, thank you goons for respecting the irony.

Hey Hal I just want to apologize - I didn't see that you were 3P and I felt bad trying to edge you out. I did think you were on the opposing scum team when I tried to hail Mary execute you, I wouldn't think it sporting to torpedo your odds without any benefit to myself, and I'm sorry for going for you there.

I knew that I couldn't trigger the lightning on the 2nd day, but I figured it'd give me some town cred, glad it did! You played very, very well for someone in their first game. Please stick around!

What were you going to do? I just wanted to get that sweet, sweet achievement for a double kill in a single post.

I mean I would have still had to convince everyone, and you easily could have lied, but I realized by D5 (I think) that all the flipped scum had Anglo/Germanic names and all the flipped town, broadly speaking, did not

OLD MAN YELLS AT CLAN

A letter home posted:

My dearest family,

It is with a heavy heart that I write to you, to tell you of the tragic loss of a fellow sailor aboard our ship, the Hebi Maru. His name was Mikhael, a Russian sailor with a heart of gold and a smile that could light up the darkest of nights.

Yesterday, as we were crossing the treacherous waters of the Pacific, a strange and ominous storm cloud appeared on the horizon. At first, we thought nothing of it, but as it drew closer, we began to feel a sense of unease. The air grew thick and heavy, and the wind howled like a banshee.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck our ship, and we were all thrown to the ground. When we got back up, we saw that Mikhael had been struck by the lightning bolt. His body was motionless, and we knew at once that he was gone.

We are all in a state of shock and disbelief. How could this have happened? Mikhael was a good man, and he didn't deserve to die like this. We will never forget him, and we will honor his memory by being the best sailors we can be.

Please, my family, keep us all in your thoughts and prayers. The sea can be a dangerous place, and we never know what fate has in store for us.

With love and respect,

Your devoted son.
