I hope the Black Pearl counts even though it is a ship, not a boat.
I don't like the word "ship" much. A boat is a boat. A plane is a plane no matter how big it is. A train is a train whether it's a 3-car express train from New York City or a 300-car transcontinental cargo train. A car is a car, a truck is a truck. Ship is a redundant word. Boat is superior.

I'm really sorry I didn't mean to start that train.
I wake up at 6-10. Deadline is noon. I can function on 4 hours when necessary. The only problem is I would likely forget...
Please... will you get your head out of the clouds...
Onegu turned in his sleep. A penetrating, soothing voice was calling him... somewhere from below.
...and back in the water where it belongs?
This voice was so alluring. It wanted to be with him. And Onegu wanted to be with it. Together... back in the water... where he belonged.
Down here is your home... listen to me... the human world, it's a mess...
Yes... and down there everything would be perfect... together with this voice... back in the water...
And life under the sea is better than anything they got up there...
...the sea... yes... he was so close to it now... just a bit farther down...
Yet, wasn't the seaweed always greener in somebody else's lake? Maybe this wasn't the solution after all. He lived a good life up here, being first officer of the nuclear liner Titanic... wasn't it a better idea to stay with the good life he had.
The voice was much more angry now. Louder. Onegu put his hands on his temples, trying to drown out the anger. He did not want to hurt the voice anymore. He did not want to disappoint it...
Under the sea... under the sea...
He only wanted to be together... under the sea...
Darling it's better, down where it's wetter, take it from me...
He rose from his bed and opened the door. He had made his decision. He would be with the voice, happy for the rest of his life... and the voice would be happy too.
Up on the shore they work all day...
Onegu strode out onto the deck and grasped the railing, looking into the water below. He lifted one leg.
No more duty, no more missions... no more passengers or preparation... just him and the voice... under the sea... together...
Out in the sun they slave away...
He slipped the other leg over. Now it would just be time to let go.
The voice was waiting... it was patient... but not without limit...
While we devotin'... full time to floatin'...
He let go and let the water take him. Down he went, letting the tides carry him further in... towards the voice that he would give his life for, and the voice that loved him... wanted to be together with him... him and the voice
...under the sea.
Onegu the Replacement has been eaten by Sebastian the Crab!
It is now Day 1. There are 18 people remaining. Day ends in
Alright guys, I just want to let you all know that I have some English work to do in the next two days so don't expect me to be super-active. I will try my best but I won't be spamming up the thread. I'm also going to try and take notes this game because I feel like I play better when I take notes. Plus, it makes me read everything a lot more in-depth.
If you are town and you are lurking, expect to be under the gun during the game and expect me to not be very nice to you post-game. I will be weighing activity a lot heavier in my voting decision this game than I have in the past. You all are warned. If you are going to take a sieste the entire time and not participate, I am going to be on you until you do so.
So err... how do we get this started? I can't really remember what happens at this point when there isn't an election. I might go watch another ep then come back to see what is hap.

That is all.
I see some dissonance between your first point and your second. Why would you be so inclined towards policy on low activity players when you have just acknowledged that people can be town and not be active?
Perhaps as you say you only require town to be active and you are, in fact, scum?
Further, If you are weighing activity much more than in the past why would you choose to tell us all you will be inactive? I sense a double standard without much justification or rationalization.
Perhaps instead of going after lurkers on policy you should try to lynch scum?

Hi Marv.
I plan on having my filter be longer than 2 pages. My filter in D1 for Basics was about 6 pages and I would consider that to be "super active" for me. I know that my filter will still be acceptable and I will be working towards that goal even though my time to play this game will not be as much as it usually is.
I was talking more about how I would react to their play post-game. It's another reaction to Basics where we had a very lurky town. I require town players to be moderately active. If all the town players are active and the scum decide to lurk, then it shouldn't be a problem to find the scum.
If all the town players are active and contribute to the discussion, scum are forced to post more and more to blend in with a more active town. The more scum are forced to post, the more misdirection they are forced to use and the easier it will be to find the holes in their stories and out them as scum.
