    Ok.....

    Here's the way I see it.

    We need to think like the KGB.

    There are only 5 of them out of 22. They need to get us down to the same number as them without giving themselves away. The best way to do that would be to sit back at first and see if our paranoia can whittle our numbers down a bit first before one of the MI6 officers has a lucky guess and finds out who one of them is - if our MI6 officers are even active, as nobody is giving any leadership or passing on information.

    They all know who they are cos they get told at the start of the game. They are also able to PM each other to co-ordinate their actions and votes.

    The easiest situation for them is if we keep nominating one of our own so that they don't even need to stick their head above the parapet - as we'd be doing their job for them. At the same time some of them should at least be posting so that it doesn't look too suspicious when all of a sudden they do have to come out of the woodwork. The only time they need to influence the voting at the start is if we accidentally begin voting for one of theirs by chance. Even then it can be done fairly easily to seem innocent and to be fitting in with the crowd.

    They could even be nominating each other - what better cover - as long as they know that by 9pm somebody else will have more votes.

    So we need to look for patterns - especially after tonight if we get it wrong again. We've already lost one MI6 officer and we're down to 2. We can't afford to lose anymore specialists. Is anybody influencing the votes away from someone towards someone else in any special way?

    It looks like Mr T is heading out, but chances are that he is MI5 (just by sheer numbers). I would guess that he wouldn't have a special role if he is willing to step out of the game. Or of course, nominating himself and then getting nominated by others could be a great jokey way for the KGB to appear to be part of the crowd and then suddenly change just enough votes at the last minute, without appearing suspicious.

    For what its worth - I am an MI5 officer. I have no special powers. If I was to be shot it would help with numbers but would be a waste of a kill in comparison to one of the specialists. Of course I could be lying - but I'm not.

    The KGB will already know I'm not one of them so I'm risking nothing by saying so - nothing except the risk that other British Intelligence think I'm bluffing.

    So, whoever goes tonight - if it's an MI5 officer (or any other British intelligence) we might want to look out for anyone who has been quiet in the background, quietly nudging us towards killing off the wrong person.

    We might also want to start looking for patterns in who has nominated the killed person each night - a risky thing to say since it was my last minute intervention that lost us an MI6 officer last night.

    For what it's worth, I have my eye on Pulp, BRS, and Jimiley, with question marks over Obi, ACS and Trev too. Chances are they are all wrong and that the real KGB are keeping much quieter. I would expect people to be suspecting me too after last night - I would if I was you.

    Anyway, anybody else have any thoughts they want to share to help us start being a bit more intelligent in our roles as intelligence officers??

    Some interesting points there LESS HOPE. As you say, the problem is (as you say) I don't know who or what to believe. You could be spot on, or trying to guide me into helping the KGB.

    I'm sitting this one out until I start seeing those patterns. Last night proved that we could take down one of our own by firing blindly at this early stage without enough intel.

    One thing though - you say sitting quietly in the background is suspiscious behaviour and then 'out' just about everyone who has posted! <laugh>
    That makes me feel suspiscious about your motives! Worth being 'checked out' by those with powers I'd say!

    I could be, and I'm definitely worthy of investigation by an MI6 officer - as are a few others. But if we don't start working together we're gonna lose.

    A very good point. I suspect they are mixing it up a bit and only some of them coming out to play - but its all guesses. One thing that is important though - we need our MI6 officers to help us.

    Does MrT have the 'power' of making 2 votes?

    I think the lack of activity means Mr T is probably one of us :(

    My vote goes for ACS.

    Should it be a rule that you have to vote to stay in as otherwise the KGB could just not get involved until we (the goodies) vote our numbers down.

    Or we could vote against those not voting.

    It doesn't really matter like <laugh>

    I'll rule that your change doesn't count Trev. It'll be easier for everyone if we just go by Not606 time <ok>

    TERROR OF THE TUBE
    SECRET SERVICE SHAFTED?

    london underground.jpg

    For the second night in succession, a member of British Intelligence has been found dead. The body of the MI5 Officer, known to his enemies, and his invisible friend, as Mr Tiote, was discovered riding on the underground tube, a somewhat ironic death, as many observers had noted his frequent lamenting of the price and quality of the service to cockfosters, especially the fact it is terminally going downhill. The manic depressive had been rumoured to be close to taking his own life because of forced-interactions with "sub-humans", known by him as "sub-Mr Tiote's", who were anything less than thoroughly pessimistic and always right.

    The fact a M1911 was found in his lap, a long with a bullet hole piercing one of his many face-tentacles, has left Scotland Yard with a simple and plausible explanation for the fatality, although following the recent death of MI6 Agent, Indestructible, questions are being raised about whether there is a rotten core to the Intelligence service responsible for covertly combating the Soviet Union. One thing is for certain, it is strange someone with the self-proclaimed gift of psychic foresight has not rooted out any potential hidden-spies, and paid the ultimate price.

    Turn to Page 3 for some cooking tips and a lovely pair of melons, and Page 77 for our deeper investigation into what sport Indestructible's beloved Sunderland are supposed to play.

    Why the hell did he vote himself out?

    I thought with MrT being a superior being he was trying some very clever plan that I wasn't intelligent enough to follow. But no, we're simply another man down! Fook!

    Ahhh, I've just realised Indestructible had "powers". He wasn't just an "ordinary". Right, I might be getting the hang of this, or


    I probably am miles off.......still, or,


    JPF is going to throw in a new rule that only applies when it's Monday and the 22nd.


    So, I vote for ACS.

    <laugh> I'd have thought the gamesmaster would have given Mr T a more important role. It would have made the game more interesting with him as MI6 or KBG. I'd love to have seen his attempts to try and trick us.
