But I guess this is a fresh change from the other plots, where there's an easy sure-win way to click your way to prizes and stuff.. this one requires self-dependence 
yeah well

Probably someone already voiced this very long ago, but I'd really like to know why no one told us what the heck prompted Hoban to actually make his little "sail you into a storm" statement. You'd think someone could tell us what was said just before he said that.

Yeah I know. I will be interested if they post an answer key to this to know exactly how we were supposed to have known the answer. Easy to make an educated guess, sure, but knowing the answer?

I think it was kentari for some reason. I imagine that Hogan was inexperienced at sailing and maybe Kentari was the one who got the "sail you into a storm" line. Maybe he was talking about how lazy Hogan was and Hogan probably said he wasn't lazy, just bad luck. Or maybe he said he wasn't lazy but he wasn't good at sailing and was likely to sail them into a storm. Anyway, Kentari seems to misteriously disappear during all the action.

well, I've been away for a while a don't really feel like trying to "catch up" now, especially since school's started, so... random guess!
Well, kinda random. Or just my crazy whims.
Who pushed Hoban? Bonju (I just don't like him)
When did he fall? 5:00 (He seems to have been seen a lot, so it was probably later. And wait a moment, weren't they eating dinner at the beginning? How early do they eat? Just noticed that)
Where on the ship did he fall? cargo crates (random-ish guess. Only place I definitely remember him being)
Where is Hoban now? G14 (totally random, except for that it's the first letter of my name and my age, so maybe I'll get lucky?
Heh, I don't even know what the co-ordinates or whatever they are mean)
Do you like Hoban's hat? yes, it's very stylish (well, at least I'm sure to get one right. And I do like his hat)
I'm wondering if it's just a whatever the most people pick is right.

Well in each comic Hogan's expression changes. He was standing in front of the doorway. The captain walked out of the room and his chair is empty. Someone laughed at Hogan about something. Hogan is standing at the other end of the table, opposite the captain. Hogan's back is to the door, he seems to be pointing or gesturing towards the back of the table, where the captain would be sitting, but the captain got up. So I looked and it seems like he is pointing at the ruki or at the shoyru. Maybe they had argued earlier about going to krawk island and he didn't want to go, because there would be a storm. And maybe they all laughed or maybe just the ruki laughed. It was a beautiful day and they thought there would be no storm. Or maybe just the shoyru thought that. Maybe he though Hogan was lazy and didn't want to sail, using the storm as an excuse. We have to figure out who benifits from him not being around. Who has the most to gain? Really, we might jump on the ruki saying he wanted to go to krawk island so he has the most to gain, but if he is honestly trying to help his friends by getting herbs, I guess he doesn't have the most to gain. Which makes me think that the shoyru thinks he has the most to gain by getting rid of a lazy crewmate.
I can't see where the blumaroo would gain because he'd have one less mouth to feed. But other than that, I can see no reason why he'd kill Hogan, unless he just wanted to be mean.
The kougra would be rid of a bad luck or hex I guess. Maybe she didn't like him much.
Anyway, she had diarrhea and the ruki was going to help her I guess. So maybe she was mad that they couldn't go to krawk island to get her the herbs she wanted. And she was mad because of the storm as well, so she wanted to kill Hogan for making her suffer so much. I could see that happening if she was very spoiled and mean. I don't think that she really would benifit from his death, but they did end up at krawk island after all, so she could get her cure. Maybe she was sick so she wanted to make him suffer because she was suffering.
But I still think maybe the shoyru wanted to get rid of what he saw as a lazy crew member.

Maybe it's just me, but aren't we looking for the pusher of HOBAN? Not Hogan? LoL Sorry the mispelling is obviously unintentional but boy does it bother me so!

Well, diarrhea is the cliche motive for murder, nes pas?
