Public Reporting Discussion Thread

Not sure if it's worth, but should there be a vote for this? If yes, my vote is to post and move on.

Yeah, I just checked, and things are pretty ambivalent here.

I'll make a poll about it, and let it run until tomorrow. There's no hurry in any of this, anyway.

The public story&diplomacy thread over on CFC has been pretty quiet as of late, but I'm thinking that maybe we can turn our forum outage into a decent post there.

The Realms Beyond were suddenly in chaos. Everyone of responsibility there - the Micro Master, the Diplomatic Despatch Designate, the Taker of the Turns, the Statistical Spy, and even the Meandering Masses - they all found themselves bereft of any means of communication between themselves, with their history cruelly removed, and with no means to document their efforts and thoughts.

It was a time of chaos, and of new bold leaders. The old stalwart T-Hawk was the first to step up and try to rally those of the Realms Beyond, but he soon could step back again when Yazilliclick took up the challenge. He gathered the masses, formed them into new ranks, and led Realms Beyond out to new and whiter pastures.

Le Realms Beyond est mort, vive le Realms Beyond!

Nice.

Are sure on the categories that we are quoting? I'm not sure on the statistical spy one. Also, we could throw in some red herrings ...

The Statistical Spy would be me, but the goal here is that it should be true but somewhat silly. Adding a Propaganda Pamphleteer is a good idea.

Since neither Pling nor anyone else has worked on the archives/index thread I didn't add an archivist position.

yeah - I know we have a Stat Spy (and who it is ) ... but I am not keen on publicly announcing it.

Any team who bothers to check out any of our well-published games (even by only reading Sullla's write-ups of the Apolyton game and PB2) will know that we will have a C&D department. CFC definitely knows. I wouldn't be surprised if the Germans run one.

There is such a thing as too much secrecy, IMO. If you can't keep something secret against a reasonably determined opponent, then why bother?

[Ruff_Hi]

I was more thinking of the first rule of fight club re stat spying ... ie don't mention the stat spying.

[Gold Ergo Sum]

I think I am with Ruff on this one. No need to advertise it.
