Do you remember the game that had 2 mayors due to a tie?
It might have been one of my games (my first Christmas one maybe?), but I don't really have time to go looking.

There were also two mayors in noobies vs boobies because each team got a mayor. I think.
 
Captain's Log:

25/8/18– We are set for the maiden voyage of Nautilus and I could not be happier. Passengers boarded promptly and orderly. All found their bunks, even a straggler who purchased our last remaining ticket. Earlier this morning, Capt. KD and I realized that we would need a passenger to step up to handle First Mate duties for the duration of our voyage. We put the passengers to a vote and I am pleased to say that one has been chosen. She may be new to her post, but I am confident she will learn quickly. The crew and passengers are eager to embark on this adventure, as are me and my Co-Captain.
Conditions
Current - 5 knots NW
Wind - 8 knots N
Swell - 2-3 ft​
Supplies
Air - Full
Fuel - Full
Rations - Full​

@genny will be trained for her duties post haste. Welcome to the crew.

First night watch has now begun. All those who are not on night watch may return to their bunks. We will be diving shortly. It may be quite some time before we happen upon anything exciting as we cruise to the edge of the continental shelf. Should you need anything, please do not hesitate to summon the crew. We are at your disposal.

MAKE PREPARATIONS FOR DIVING

All hatches closed! Secure all belongings. Watch your angles and dangles.

Set the bubble to 10 degrees, maintain depth of 150 ft. Sound the dive alarm.

Let it be known that it was actually Karabou, not kaydubs, who decided to kill me in that three way mayoral tie. So I'm not overly concerned about it happening here.

I am concerned about kaydubs hating me forever if I intentionally make a tie in one of her games though. So I will exercise some restraint.

elect cheezit
I love that the fear is real.
 
Lolz just wanna say that last time y’all voted MJ for mayor cuz he said he’d never been, he turned out wolf.
He didn't propose the vote himself though. Just said he'd never been and then genny and I took that and ran with it :laugh:
 
For those who wish to peruse the Captain's Notes at your leisure. They can be found in the library on the 3rd deck.

Excerpt from Prof. Aronnax's Journal– It was a library. Tall, black-rosewood bookcases, inlaid with copperwork, held on their wide shelves a large number of uniformly bound books. These furnishings followed the contours of the room, their lower parts leading to huge couches upholstered in maroon leather and curved for maximum comfort. Light, movable reading stands, which could be pushed away or pulled near as desired, allowed books to be positioned on them for easy study. In the center stood a huge table covered with pamphlets, among which some newspapers, long out of date, were visible. Electric light flooded this whole harmonious totality, falling from four frosted half globes set in the scrollwork of the ceiling. I stared in genuine wonderment at this room so ingeniously laid out, and I couldn't believe my eyes.

In any event, these books are at your disposal, and you may use them freely.
 
My bad. See real life excuses below. Isn't genny one of those always a wolf-people? This should be fun.

My life today:
Went to the Chicago Baby Show today and got home and sucked in to hours of reading online reviews about various strollers, carseats, cribs, etc. When that rabbit hole became too anxiety-ridden (I know nothing) I escaped the internet and finished reading a fun book (thanks @PrincessButterCup).

Haha nope. Underwater dinosaur 😀 Love me some Jurassic Park/World (though, I don't want to talk about JW2).
 
On the surface, the sun was rising beautifully over the ocean creating a truly glorious sunrise. Meanwhile, in the depths below.....

Crash!

"Attention, this is your Captain speaking. Will all guests please report to the Main Hall immediately. Thank you."

All passengers onboard woke up and slowly made their way to the Main Hall. The Captains explained what had happened to everyone onboard.

The Nautilus had been rushing along when it hit something out of the blue. Floating in front of the Main Hall's giant window were 2 giant shapes. Long mechanical arms reached out from the submarine and grabbed onto the structures. They were brought onboard to be examined. One passenger who had been studying water quality stated that all measurements had been in normal ranges for this location. However, upon wafting, they had noticed a sweet smell. Another passenger had noticed water moving in the opposite direction from outside her window.

The huge things were brought into the Main Hall. Marine biologists onboard examined the pieces and concluded that these were a body ripped in half. The creature, never having been seen before was named Architeuthis dux, or Giant Squid. Samples were taken and stored in formalin for further cataloguing and examination in labs on the surface. What could possibly have done this to a creature so large?

DOA is @capri1722 the Giant Squid.

One passenger found a smaller creature caught in a tentacle. This fish must have just hitched a ride. It's not even found in these parts.

Dead is @Melchizedek the Candiru.
A tiny fish in the catfish family, but oh boy, can it f*** s*** up! Seriously. Native to the Amazon River Basin, candiru are able to invade and parasitize the human urethra. Gross, but also scary and cool.



We are now heading SE. Keep on collecting your data. Let the crew know if you need anything.
Today, please form some hypotheses as to who or what could have done such a thing. Thank you.
Second watch is now on duty. Take your stations.​

ADJUST PMs ACCORDINGLY. Lynch closes tonight at 2200 hours EDT.

Killing mel puts certain people slightly lower on the list for me. Though two deaths always raises some questions; is it a limited ability of one of the wolves, 2 packs, chaos? Right now chaos and 2 packs are lower for me, but still possible.

Just a somewhat random vote for now.

So you think mel was an intentional target last night? Not just someone who swam up capri's urethra?
