Off Topic Ranieri, Taylor, Drogs, Spy: KGB vs BI Game

Just to re-iterate that I am MI5 but I'm not Lyallin. My nomination is for GCB at the moment as I feel he has lost his argument to DMW unless someone else can counteract DMW! Jim I am split 50-50 wth at the moment and as only Trev is going for him at the moment then I will go for GCB unless someone can convince me othewise.

 

Tasty? Jim?

 

I'm not Lyalin.

However, Lyalin may have been turned during the course of the game so even if we ascertain that DMW is he, it still isn't certain that he's not KGB.

JPF has assured me that Lyalin would have lost his 'protect' power if turned so we could call for DMWs assassination. If DMW protects himself he's 100% confirmed BI, if he's KGB he can't and he dies. Problem is that would use up 1 of our 2 assassinations. It would be valuable to know who we could definitely trust though.

 

Just back from work and am going off to the ale house to watch the match, is the voting deadline being extended?

I need a few beers to dull the inhibitory nerve before my loosened tongue and previously unused Hawkins like brain make the whole episode crystal clear to all and sundry.

 

I am willing to go with this and call GCB's bluff. Vote GCB and try to assassinate me Gordievsky. I was gonig to struggle to concede this round to Trev but this is a viable solution. Obviously I am going to say we are wasting a kill, but I'm 100% sure I'm right and I know who the others are (or at least one). The info is more important than the kill.

Cue a change of heart from GCB

 

The problem is with no MI6 left and very scanty pickings of information from our MI6 throughout the game we're going to be firing blind in the closing stages. We're going to be aiming at those we have some suspicions about due to voting patterns etc. Hasn't worked well throughout most of the game - I for one was certain that MMS was KGB due to his voting behaviour...

It would help if we even had a few we knew who to trust. Only way I can see is for us all to agree on who has been most consistently suspicious throughout the game and unite in our voting against that person. It would narrow things down if we had a few who the other BI knew they could trust, so I'm coming forward as Gordievsky (been keeping my powder dry). I don't think I'm under too much risk now that Philby has died (really hope I'm not overlooking anything!). I don't believe DMW is KGB and therefore he is Lyalin. I'm nominating his assassination to JPF so that when this goes through tonight and when DMW protects himself (Lyalin cannot do this if he has been turned to KGB - JPF has confirmed via PM) all other BI will know that DMW and myself are trustworthy. Of course if DMW has sold us all down the river he'll die, so it's all good!

 

His obsession with you has been odd since his reincarnation. I think we should go with another player tonight though as I am still not sure he is KGB, maybe just obsessed based on who he felt had a hand in killing him first time around. I think we should be looking at who is remaining and decide who has been the most suspicious from the start of the game.

 

This sounds like a good plan to me! DMW for assassination by Gordievsky which means we need to continue with a vote for GCB, as DMW has previously said GCB has been the most suspicious (other than Obi, haha) - with which I agree with looking back over his votes post coming back!

 

Will this not just split the vote though and cause us to risk losing two? We already have two players not voting me or GCB.

As I see it currently:

DMW - Assassination attempt

Voting

DMW - GCB
GCB- DMW, DPP
Trev - Jim

Rolando and Tasty undecided. We are wide open to multiple vote offs and a switch which is why we need to keep it simple. It only suits one side to have this happen.

 

Whoever we choose is a shot taken in the dark I guess. The MI6 officers really let us down when none of them came out to play. A complete lack of info has seen us vote off our own too often and left me unable to assassinate a target with any real confidence. Voting off the wrong target is probably going to happen again and then it's game over (unless you are KGB!). GCB may be KGB, I just felt it likely that the KGB would have had their spaces filled or JPF would have made sure to replace anyone inactive early days due to their lack of numbers. I also felt it was more likely that they would have used Philby to turn someone fairly early on in order to increase their numbers and therefore the efficacy of their efforts.

Sorry chaps, having masses of trouble trying to log on and post stuff still

 

Agree with Tasty's suggestion.

Assassinate DMW. If DMW is Layllin he saves himself.

Vote for suspicious one. If DMW is KGB then he dies tonight and no need(?) to go after GCB's. If he saves himself then vote GCB's tomorrow. Are we sure KGB not able to save self or another KGB agent?

The suspicious one I would say is Jim. Voting wise he has voted against DMW (I think is BI), Mr T (MI5), no-one, no-one, Tash (MI6), MMS (MI5), DT ( but to try and split vote against Pulp), DT/CMAR (MI6). Not one vote against KGB!! With that in mind and Tasty's suggestion to sort out position between DMW and GCB's I would strongly suggest Jim.

Alternatively for any other suspicious player who has voted as suspiciously as Jim?

Edit - First quote was attempt to put all votes up for each round,

 

Seeing as I still haven't had an obituary am I still in play?
Can I vote? Did my head grow back like GCB's? Am I like The Terminator, KGB style?
Is it because Obi Wan can use The Force to come back from the dead?

 

I'm not kidding some of these KGB ghosts really need a good exorcising!!!

Is it a delayed finish to say 10.30pm due to football?

 

I'm writing the obits up the obits from tonight and tomorrow after the game Obi, promise

You can send me a letter (mocking your foes/bemoaning your demise) to include in the obit by PM if you wish!

 

Sure why not

 

Can we make it 11.00pm as I'm stuffed for Internet access after this post. In the meantime I'm voting for GCB.

 

Problem with Jim is, well, it's Jim and I haven't seen much to suggest he knows ar$e from elbow (no offence) so his voting pattern may be incriminating, but random.

 

It is far more risky to not vote off GCB. Just look how he handled Obi and then how he switched!!! Also, this assumes that Tasty is Gordievsky - appears to be far too risky a stratgey at this stage!

I think we need to rid ourselves of GCB - am almost certain he is KGB and if Tasty says who says he is then he can assassinate DMW!

 

On my way out lads to catch 2nd half. Be back later. I'll stick with vote on gcb for now but I am open to change. At present it is splitting though and this bad for BI. I strongly suggest we all go for one. I think gcb after obi vote off and have stated my case. Tasty - I trust you but there is a danger you can still be KGB. If you just kill off one of us, this is worrying. We keep me and save of course but you can kill our numbers with zero risk. I think you are BI but unless you can confirm for sure I still think a straight vote is safest. If I'm lying I die, if I'm not we kill gcb. Either way the numbers remain intact. It is almost certain me and gcb are not on the same team (as funny as it would if we were both BI )
