Sharing is Caring

[Annie McClarabow]

The only person that loses with full disclosure is the murderer. Here's my back story...

Keep in mind others may have information about your secrets as well. So, while you are free to deviate from this backstory, it will probably end up making you look like a liar.

For months, you've been on the trail of a nuke operation. You know that Evan Hoovler has provided the funds for a France-to-North Korea nuke trade. You're hear to get find super-incriminating dirt on Evan, as you have no concrete evidence yet. In addition, you want to figure out who among Evan's contacts is providing the technological know-how for this deal.

Also aboard is CIA director with whom you've worked for many years, Chris Supiron. Most people believe the cover story that he was kicked out after butting heads with PM Amer Wilson. Actually, this was a front to get some of the attention off of Chris during his lower-profile missions. You are confused and a bit frustrated, you thought this was a solo mission and his presence is going to make it difficult to stay undercover.

While researching the passenger manifest, you learned that Farrell Boyle is surprisingly broke, while Paula Sharpe has turned her winnings into investments that have increased her wealth tenfold.

Normally, I wouldnt blow my cover like this but since I plan on retiring to Florida soon and investing in a scuba school and since every witness to my investigation is systematically thrown overboard with weights tied to their ankles, I feel pretty good about being so cavalier with my super secret cia identity.

C'mon gang. The more you hide or the more you say that makes no sense, the more you look like a murderer.

So I didn't get Chris fired? This is outrageous. Outrageous, eh!

I'd think someone who has disclosed next to nothing might be encouraged to be more forthcoming...

You also own the Barton Memorial Hospital, although not many people realize this as you contributed the funds anonymously. However, the hospital has been a huge fund-sink, and is facing foreclosure unless you can raise a huge donation. You supect Dr. Judy Quizzleberry realizes that the hospital's finances are in a drastic state.

You would have bought the Mainville Rotating Restaurant in your ill-fated property grab, but fortunately Andy Chambers snatched it up, first. You suspect this whole area is a sour investment.

You are bankrupt, having gambled away what little money was left from the dot-com implosion at the Pollyanna riverboat casino. Which, incidentally, has Mike Magoo (the S.S. Mildville's first mate) as its secretive captain.

The only positive investment you've made lately was going in on Erik Stoneburner's low fat deep fat frying machines. Although, you were always mystified at how Stoneburner got the remaining tens of millions of dollars needed to start the business.

Your new product is a sham. It's a pump-and-dump designed to get you enough money to disappear and enjoy a long retirement in some foreign country. During your stay at the Hotel Mildville, you broke into your on hotel room and "stole" your own plans for your new product. This is part of the ruse to convince people your product is going to be hot. You plan to sell the TV station and Newspaper to Evan. Suspecting you were desperate, Evan gave you a horrible deal for them, however he paid you the entire amount in advance. This boat ride is when you are supposed to sign the papers.

However, all is not lost: Wealthy venture capitalist Dan Poulier will be on board. You are blackmailing him into keeping silent about a nuke trade he is about to broker with Evan in a few weeks. In exchange for your silence, Poulier is giving you more than enough money that, combined with the pump-and-dump profits, will give you enough to disappear for good. Also, Sarah Scoopenheimer is a hot item after her recent robbery article, you are planning to recommend her as an anchor after selling the station to Evan.

You've seen Erik Stoneburner frequent the casino for many years, although he stopped coming around the last few months.

Prime Minister Amer Wilson is aboard, and that irks you. He is constantly having his aides call or meet you to harass you about giving Wilson his own TV show.

[Annie McClarabow]

That's what Im talking about.

[Farrell]

Well it was either disclose or get thrown overboard next week. The murderer is laughing at us now. The top two vote getters are both innocent. Hopefully this will shake things up and we can figure out who the true murderer is.

[Paula - old account]

Really? Is anyone finding this enlightening at all? I'm as confused as I was before reading Annie and Farrell's posts. There's got to be something we're all missing or more coming in the way of clues.

Speaking of the backstory disclosures.....In the second paragraph of Annie's backstory, it says

"You're hear to get find super-incriminating dirt on Evan,...."

You're HEAR to GET FIND !!!! Is this REALLY the spelling and verbiage that EVAN ..a writer for God's sake...would provide in a backstory??? Could it be that this "backstory" has been altered in some way? Why would someone do that? Just saying.........

[Annie McClarabow]

I assure you there was no doctoring. I've disclosed all of my clues.

[Son Anheuser]

I also heard "Thin is in" but that is neither here nor there. Don't know how to do fancy quote box thing

You are in town at the invitation of Evan who asked to speak to you about some big plans he had for Mildville. Evan did not tell you what it was but he did say that a free cruise was included.

Interestingly, while staying at the hotel Mildville in preparation for your trip, you overheard Evan mentioning his will leaves everything to Mike Magoo.

Also, some gossiping interns at the television station told you that Evan is going straight and will soon quit funding illegal activities. It's a semi-well known fact that he fixes races at the track.

You've seen Sarah Scoopenheimer around the studio a lot lately. Rumor is she's being interviewed for an anchor position after her recently blockbuster article.

Meeting boxing legend Erik Braa aboard the ship, you try to shake his hand and realize he has no ability to grasp your hand due to a lifetime of punching.

Andy Chambers asked if you were interested in heading up a comedy club in her casino hotel she plans on building when the network shuts down. You're pretty interested, since it sound like a more stable gig than the network. In ordder to build her casino, though, she needs a billion dollars. She's hoping to talk Evan into funding it.

However, I should note that I recently dropped an oxygen tank on my head and have seem to forgotten some of my history. Like, am I really a spy (no actual mention in the dossier)? And am I really CIA?

Amer indicated that I was a fish out of water at this soiree because I'm a relative nobody. I feel more like a fish out of water because I'm not dirty (like fixing boxing matches, gambling addict, black market arms dealer, etc). Its awkward being the only squeaky clean person at the party.

I bet one or more of you could help me remember my past and make me feel more at home.

[Son Anheuser]

If nothing else comes up can we finally agree to vote Mike next week?

[Mike Lenin]

No. You need to stop these personal attacks.

[Farrell]

Mike, if you are truly innocent, post your backstory so Son will stop accusing you. Same with everyone else. Even if you've already told us everything just put it all in one post so we can see thats all you have.

[Annie McClarabow]

I agree. Your strategy is real cute Mike but it looks like you're going to get cast overboard next week unless you do something helpful.

[Farrell]

Evan's plan was to go straight? what after he killed all of us? Is there someone who didn't want evan to go straight?

[Erik Coppertop]

Yeah Mike...not looking too good. Who is your heir? Is anyone going to benefit from you looking so "dirty" (LOL) ? You see what I did there? hehehehe

Like you should talk. The only info we have on you is given by other players. Spill it, fella.

Full Disclosure:

Paula was at your last match, you imagine she had a fix in. At the time you noticed she was hanging out with a man and a woman, but your memory is hazy. You are certain, however that this man and woman are aboard the S.S. Mildville.

Paula might be shifty

Evan paid you to tank your last match. You needed money after losing a bunch at the PollyAnna Riverboat and casino several years ago. You noticed at the time that Mike Magoo was the captain of that ship, but you still don't know who the owner is. Also, you noticed that Farrell Boyle seems to be one of the Riverboat's biggest clients.

Farrel Boyle...hmmm

During one of your several covert meetings with Evan, you noticed that tech investor Dan Poulier was lurking around.

Dead

Also, while getting the payoff, you accidentally overheard Evan taking a payment from someone in exchange for preventing Mike Magoo from starting a riverboat casino.

Mike has motive?

Andy Chambers has approached you about promoting fights for her. She says she plans to turn the Mainville Rotating Restaurant into a casino,

Dead

Um....I started it!
