Yah, I agree with the sentiments that not going off alone is the better choice. I'm part of the ship crew but to be fair I don't think anyone isn't. Or at least I don't think anyone will claim something else. I suggest no other people sent a pm to dante saying that they are going to go search the ship, the ones who are searching are already taking enough of a risk for the town as is.

Oh, and also guys. Usually its common courtesy not to edit your own posts in the game thread. It can be used to hide evidence and suchlike and can therefor be seen as scummy. I don't think any of the edits done so far in the thread are hiding any scum behavior considering how little we have to go on but still something to keep in mind.

So I'm confused, then. My Role PM indicates that I am a crew member of a fishing vessel, that I am unaware of what we are fishing for, and that something is trying to sink the ship. I can see how that would indicate that this is all taking place on our own vessel. But here's the thing.
First, the opening write-up is a recorded log of a captain speaking about an atrocity in past tense. The implication is that there are no real survivors, as even those who lived were mentally broken. In order for this to be taking place on our vessel, this recording would need to be set after the game, and would imply that we're going to lose, one way or another. But, if it's set after the game, why was the game opened with it?
Second, it was indicated that we do not have a map of the ship and that we haven't been aboard long enough to know all of the compartments. Now, I'm assuming that we're far enough out to sea that returning to land is not an option. I mean, if this is our vessel, then we've been living on it for at least a few days, but more likely for weeks on end. While we may not know every nook and cranny of the ship, it would be safe to say that, if we'd been living on this vessel, we'd have a rough idea of the main compartments and where they were.
This is why I believe that we have happened upon an abandoned vessel. If Dante could clarify this point, that'd be nifty.

my role PM says that I am a member of "THIS" fishing boat, not "the" fishing boat. this fishing boat only makes sense if it is where the game is occurring

Does anyone have a role to suggest that they're a passenger and not a crew member? My role is an actual job on a typical ship.

My role email specifies that I am a worker on this ship. That brings up a good point though deadguy, there might someone other than the hired staff of the boat.

At this point I'm starting to wonder if we are all the same person. Should we have a couple of people character claim?

I'm fine with character claiming, if that's what people wish.

Ill character claim as it does help in figuring out what is actually happening on the ship.
I am a scientist... so whatever it is we were fishing for is something that would require a scientist... not just tuna or w/e

Ok, well, I'll claim as well, I'm a Diver.
This proves that we're not all the same character, at least.

Yup, and I'm the engineer. Hence why I chose to search the engine room/engineering bay/whatever.

Also an engineer. Doesn't say that I know what we're fishing for, but something's wrong with the ship. That's the gist of the flavor text anyways.

Deckhand here. Pay's good, but I don't know much more than that.

Everything pays well on this ship. The gold is endless, the reward is plenty. Don't lose your heads over worrying so much.

Don't lose your heads over worrying so much. But... this is a Dante game... we have to worry!

Ok I was just rereading through all of Dante's posts, I have noticed only one thing. In the first message at the beginning of the game and when he said how we can explore the ship, he ended both posts with ... exploration or ... event. Not sure if this is a coincidence or not

>Epic attempt at mega post. Rot pls.
So, I'm listing my opinions on Dante's posts. I apologize for being horrible at this.
Where exactly does the diary end? because if it's the whole post then wouldn't that mean that we are currently living the 'first day discussions'? what event is being hinted? the annihilation of the crew members or the sound of the foghorn(;whatever caused the sound) OR the poofing of our beloved captain? it sure doesn't seem like anyone's too startled. is the captain a dead man or does he live and breath among us? are we one man extra? one man short? did we investigate the foghorn thoroughly enough? it says 'A quick investigation'; maybe we should do an extra one? I would also like to note and commend a possible play of words with 'survivor'.
(or the sound of the foghorn(;whatever caused the sound) OR the poofing of our beloved captain) ^Note that the two might very well be linked.
It is interesting that the 'captain' has gone missing. assuming the captain isn't a player, is it not very possible that our Captain and the Anon Captain are at least linked somehow; if they're not the same person? the second part translates into a couple of things. first of all, if one was to pm to investigate an already occupid area what would happen? it also obviously means that we can't tell for sure that someone is investigating an area(or investigated it)just because they said they would. Pending an answer to the above question, would it not be possible to track down people's movements via just pming to investigate a 'claimed' area should there be no real consequence to such an act? the host has made it very clear he wants us splitting up, I personally can only see this resulting in another incident. and I'm not sure if such a seemingly random chance is the best way to move the story along; if it doesn't just say 'x has died' and end at that. We were left with a very clear CHOICE, and perhaps we should think our options through. Note 1:
I would like to note that the Captain is MISSING AND IS IN NO WAY CONFIRMED DEAD WHATSOEVER.
Note 2:
(Obviously this is the 'first' day)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps we are reading the Captain's journals and are somehow caught up in the story?
A hidden treasure? bounty hunters? someone's beheaded? maybe their head's in the foghorn or something of the sort?
*Are propably irrelevant to the game and am not sure about their chronological order
Just my 2 DOLLARS on the whole thing. trying to make up for being one of the less active members.

A brief reminder to all players, I will be ending the chance to search the ship within 24 hours of this post.

Ok, I wont be searching the ship. I think it's best we don't all go and search.
