SOS

This is a plea from the Mariners of the SS Calypso, Royce and Strider, who are trapped in the brig and have no Captain to free them, as TrumanCapote was captured during the recent attack by the SS Eriphyle. From Rule 24, Piracy:

"The transferred Mariner is stripped of his rank of Captain in accordance with Rule 11,"

So the SS Calypso does not currently have a Captain. I was thinking about calling an election for a new captain, but according to Rule 22, Ailments:

"Imprisoned Mariners are considered to belong to no Ship."

and, from Rule 16, Captaincy:

"If a Ship has no Captain, any Mariner on that Ship may call for a 48-hour vote"

but neither Strider nor myself are considered to belong on the SS Calypso.

So, I am extending an invitation to any member of either the SS Eriphyle or the SS Odyssey to transfer to the SS Calypso, call an election, and being the only voting member of the ship, immediately claim Captaincy, at which point you could free us from our prison.
