Welcome to the Pirate Council, Arrrrrrr! Where one among yarrr landlubbin numb-arrrr shall soon be pushed off the plank, and on the way down yell out: ahhhhhhhhrr! As this is non-live, you can pop in an out of this Council as you like. Feel free to address questions, discuss answers, or simply don't, all as you please, or don't. But we need to begin with a rather unfortunate announcement: Erm...I'm terribly sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but we seem to have a slight difficulty here. Erm, many of you may have noticed that Somebody Yet To Be Determined... took a rather nasty unrehearsed fall there. Obviously, he wasn't thinking his happy thoughts. Anyhow, I'm sure their injuries will be... less severe than those sustained in a production of Assassins, the musical in which I appeared many years ago now. In the number Ballad of Booth.. our overenthusiastic John Wilkes Booth... tripped backwards onto one of the frailer Jackie Kennedy sympathisers, shocking her into screaming, shocking him into firing his gun, giving our President an actual heart attack. See, regrettably, my horse and carriage were parked in the ambulance bay and that prevented the paramedics from getting to the poor President, and very sadly... he passed away. And I... I can't help but feel partially responsible for this tragic event, because it was, as I say, it was my getaway plan that stopped medical aid getting to the poor gheezer. But also because... I was playing John Wilkes Booth. Anyway, I think we're ready to begin again... So, back to Neverland! So once they are Determined by Wimblegate, they will no longer a meaningful part of this Pirate Council - they shall not be voting, and are not eligible to receive votes. Thankfully, Wimblegate is on hand to dispense critical First Aid, so they should be fine... though why Wimblegate will not leave with them is a somewhat awkward mystery. In addition, Deer Head has won Immunity, and is also not eligible to receive votes. Congratulations to them. The rest of you... good luck, and may the odds be ever in your fave-ahrrrrrr!  If you have not already done so, you should leave your vote in the thread titled "Votes" in your Confessional. Please be sure to use a voting list in case a tiebreaker vote is required between parties you had not intended to vote for otherwise. You are allowed to change your Votes as many times as you like up until the deadline. Just remember: If you don't vote, or you cast an invalid vote for somebody Immune or Exempted, you will receive a self-vote! And if any part of the voting process is unclear, please ask! Your Votes are due by 9:30pm AEDT Monday, which is 10:30am Monday GMT and 6:30am Monday EDT.
Once the deadline has passed, I will return and read the Votes. If you'd like to be asked an appropriately themed question by a member of the Production Crew in the meantime, please post below and say arrrrrrrrrr! |

Are we allowed to talk about the war submissions yet?

*growls* Apparently you're getting into the spirit and already stealing art. Are you concerned about somebody having their Vote stolen by Wimblegate tonight? Or will her decision not affect the outcome? |

But bacc to the submissions, I thought Wimblegate's may have been the the one about Mr Suchet, which was very strong. I can't quite pick the Deer out of the others. Mine was the particularly bland Merge header suggestion.

I quite liked the avatar/inkblot concept.

My submission was the one above the "planet made of strawberries" one. I thought mine was good until I saw the others!

My (invalid) submission involved the drawing using only a single pixel pencil drawing. Pure cruelty I know.

I can't quite pick the Deer out of the others. I thought mine was quiet obviously Dennis. But that's probably because I submitted it, but didn't create it. Apologies for beating those with actual creativity included. I submitted the prompt to the prompt. |

I think less of the audience and sub-actors. But congratulations anyway! |

Although read in the context of Dennis reading his own prompts and stage directions, that is actually very clever.

Mine was the particularly bland Merge header suggestion. Thank you so much Scrooge dear. It was indeed my submission, and my win is not all surprising considering Jazz Musician is also one of my past job titles. Tuba. It was full on improvised because I did actually mistake Design for Creative, and was halfway into writing another prompt. When I read Design, I imagine something akin to Trumpeter's pixel idea, not composing a sonnet. But it all worked out in the end! As I said, going wrong was inevitable. It was also exactly 150 words long. |

Yes. I don't feel like I deserve it, but it was the perfect fit for a design challenge in the goes wrong org.
They're clearly showing why they are sub-actor.
