Captain

The Captain is the top of the ship, and is able to dictate what happens to a certain extent. At the start of each day, the Captain is asked to choose one of two commands to order the rest of the crew to complete. The commands the Captain is asked to choose between are chosen randomly, and will always require the captain to play in, plus three other pirates (never the stowaway).
The Captain is also required to play in to the job that they have chosen: 
*If they choose to tell the truth, they play in a job order of the matching colour to the job they announce (equivalent to another pirate choosing to obey).
*If they choose to lie, they play in a job order of the opposite colour to the job they announce (equivalent to another pirate choosing disobey).
The Captain has a vote power equal to the amount of pirates in the game (e.g: if there are seven players, then the Captain has a vote power of seven).
If the boat makes it to shore, there are two possible victory outcomes, depending on the role of the Captain:
*If the Captain is a human, then all the humans win, and the game ends in a Human Victory.
*If the the Captain is a ghost, then all the ghosts win, and the game ends in a Ghost Captain Victory.
===Strategies===
*Several events directly affect the Captain (Mutiny, where the Captain is forcefully thrown overboard; Whirlpool. where all ranks are reversed - making the Captain the Stowaway and vice versa; Hostage, where the Captain has to chose to either throw one treasure or themselves overboard; Stowaway (Event), the Captain and Second in Command must decide if the Stowaway is thrown off the boat; Imposter, the Captain and the Stowaway switch places; Exorcism, the Captain choses a player to exorcise), making the role extremely valuable and able to change the course of the game. Because of this, the Captain is usually thrown overboard, as players attempt to ensure a human Captain, to ensure a human victory.
*As a Ghost Captain, you want to try and keep that position for as long as possible. It is best to not disobey or lie, as it will immediately cast suspicion on you, and might lead to your demotion. However, it is smarter to wait until the last possible moment to become Captain if possible, because if anyone spies on you, or the Message in a Bottle event occurs, then you will likely not last until the end of the game.
*As a Human Captain, you want to be as trust worthy as possible, and avoid voting anyone unless it is necessary. If you throw anyone over, then people will be less likely to trust you, and may believe you have been haunted.
