{THE BARRACKS} 2R1B

[Gazglum]

Scooter's post restriction is that he has to show disdain and cynicism towards post restrictions.

[pindicator]

Yeah, have a bit of fun with the game scooter.

[Qgqqqqq]

Qwhat wrong isn't there in having fun with the game?
Qat azza, I didn't mean more of a private full reveal - I want to trust people before knowing their identities.
Qim not sure how to claim while losing those post restrictions I do not possess.
Quintet is a positive force, reds are not, were I not the turquoise flamer I wouldn't be red.
Qthis isn't fun

[Mattimeo]

Azza - you can privately reveal (both role and colour, or just colour) to anyone you like.
For instance: private colour reveal to Azza.

I can confirm that Merovech and Qgqqqqq should be able to get along with each other, and Azza.

The Rival cares about the President, rather than the Survivor, by the way. Reasonably certain that doesn't change the mechanics, given the situation presented by Pindicator implies that the President and Survivor are in the same room, but still, accuracy is important.

Pindicator: Your 2x 4-4-1 is dependent on Tasunke being Fugitive and Selrahc being Spy, yes?

I am unsure how much activity I will be able to have before the next deadline - a few hours now, and maybe a time tomorrow after noon, but that is all that current plans permit.
As such, vote Merovech (unless I'm around to see Qgqqqqq or Azza informing me that they have a better idea of what to do if Tasunke turns out to be Spy).

[Azza]

Well, I did just publicly reveal my colour.

That's my understanding of things. It's possible I'm wrong, but I've felt pretty confident about who the president was for a while now.

Pindicator: Your 2x 4-4-1 is dependent on Tasunke being Fugitive and Selrahc being Spy, yes?

Yes, this is correct.
If I am wrong and the dynamics are different then I will need to adjust my play accordingly.

[Mattimeo]

Well, I did just publicly reveal my colour.

Yes, that was why it was only "and Azza" rather than "and, based on circumstantial evidence and number-crunching, most likely Azza as well, but Merovech should be capable of confirming further".


...apparently it is harder than I had anticipated to convey snide remarks while attempting to avoid the vice it appears Qgqqqqq has fallen victim to.

[Bigger]

Might as well start this off then: blues, I suggest you join me and Vote Pindicator

Here's why this is in your interest.
Right now we have 4 blue, 4 red, and 1 grey in each room. Us greys will decide which person wins the vote. The bomb and the president have both met their respective doctor/engineer, so we've avoided the dreaded "everybody loses" scenario.
The bomb is in a different room than the president, so blue is in favor of the status quo and red is against it.
The survivor is in a different room than the bomb. The rival is in a different room than the survivor. So both greys are in favor of the status quo and would like to keep it.

So blue and grey both favor the status quo. And it is in blue's interest to not change the status quo, otherwise they risk having the grey player's interests diverge from their own.

I'm hoping Rowain and the blues in the other room are smart enough to see this and reciprocate.

The fly in this ointment is that we still have to figure how to send people for 3 more days, but we have 48 hours to work through how to do that.

Bigger, did you read my assessment that I posted earlier? And did you have anything to comment on it?

Also, i would like to hear your plan before voting for you. I'm glad you're saying that you have a mutual win in mind, I'd just like to hear what that is specifically

ok, sorry for the slow respond.

I agree that staus quo favors both the greys and the blues, and I am all for achieving this. How to?

From what I understand, you have been playing the middle, waiting to see which color would have power to achieve your win condition (which is probably the proper way to play grey)... while Rowain, for some reason, has been openly pro-red all game.

so, did you reach any understanding with Rowain? (I would think the greys would want to cooperate with each other, although that doesnt seem to have been the case). we need to try and match up color for color - if it becomes lopsided on the final round, then it becomes a coinflip for red vs blue (or WIFOM, I guess), but it would also mean at least one grey will probably lose.

I'm concerned that we have to put our trust in Rowain.. who sometimes doesnt act in his best interest just for the hell of it... also I wouldnt put it past him to side with the red, just to make sure you lose, meaning one less winner, a bigger pie for him if you will (diplomacy-split rules).

probably just being paranoid though. I like your plan (I don't really see any other option), but I wasn't in this room yesterday so need your read on what Rowain will do if he's elected. I'll read over control room day 2 again to see if I can get a read on what they'll do if a blue is elected (and selrahc may wait until day 4 to out himself as the spy, guaranteeing a blue election).

[pindicator]

I should re-read the day to be sure, but I don't think Rowain was upset or taking anything personal. Probably wouldn't hurt to get other people's opinions on that as well. I agree that a spiteful Rowain would sacrifice his own game to take down someone who hurt him, but I don't think I fell into that.

He didn't really have any warning that I was sending him to the other side. But I can't imagine him being upset that I would send him away from the president...

[Mattimeo]

Assuming Selrahc is actually Red, and this puts Rowain in a tiebreaker (or, more likely, candidate) position, this is going to be incredibly entertaining.
Rowain decisions are 'fun', given a rather chaotic definition of the word...
