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

Exactly, that's why I voted for him tonight. The fact that he's now voted for me endorses what I think, he's running scared.

Again I'm voting for DT.

 

I have concerns over both Obi and DT's stories.

One thing is certain. One of them is lying and therefore one of them is KGB.

I move that we should make this a straight fight between DT and Obi. Because they are both claiming to be MI6 then it has been made easy for us. We should all vote for the one of them we think is more likely to be lying - a free vote. There is not that much at stake as even though we risk losing our MI6 agent we are also guaranteed to take out the 3rd KGB agent and leave them with a maximum of three.

I am not asking anyone to suddenly trust anybody that they have doubts about. However, this seems simple. We know for a fact, 100%, that either Obi or DT is KGB. This is a gift we should not pass up. There is no reason to vote for anybody else tonight - even if we strongly suspect them of being KGB. Those hunches will still be there and may be made stronger later on.

This would mean GCB, DPP and DT agreeing to focus on thsi for tonight and come back to DMW once we have despatched the liar out of these two. I see no reason not to do this unless we saw it as a chance to protect one of them. Both have messed up. Obi by PMing and DT by not coming forward early enough. If we lose the rwrong one first it is their responsibility. I know which one I now suspect more (just) but appreciate others would go the other way.

What say you all?

Obi v DT ??

I think it makes sense.

 

I vote for Obi

On the balance of things his story has slightly more holes in it than DT's.

 

Why not vote for one and assasinate the other?

We'd still have a large numerical advantage.

 

Do you mean out of DT and Obi?

 

A straight fight gives us a 50% chance of keeping the real MI6 officer alive. Also, if the imposter turned out to be the KGB assassin they would be protected from ours anyway and one of our two hits would be used up.

 

If we vote one and assassinate one, there's a chance one of them could be Philby meaning Burgess saves the one we assassinate.

If this happens we'll then know who Philby is and can vote him off the following day.

I think it could even be time for Gordievsky to reveal himself.

 

Yeah

 

I vote DT and assassinate Obi.

 

I would feel more comfortable with a straight fight between Obi and DT in the vote so that we had a chance of keeping the real MI6 if we are wrong.

We would ask DMW not to protect Obi or DT (not that he is likely to protect DT) and allow us the chance to find out the result. That is assuming that DMW can protect Obi in a vote. If we try assassinations it gets confusing because KGB can be protected from assassinations but not from votes.

We are guaranteed at least one more KGB down in 2 days, possibly in 1 day.

 

I will protect you. You are the only confirmed MI5

 

With the way the voting is going tonight I have a sneaky suspicion this could all be over in a few days, based on Trev's observations earlier combined with how things are unfolding.

 

he did nothing of the sort, nice try. Why are u investigating jimi and not me?

 

Give him a massage too - he's been feeling the strain!

I think I agree with Neville - a straight vote is less confusing and also we want to have at least a chance of keeping the real MI6 alive.

 

But if we do it over the two days they'll be able to either kill or convert one of us. They can't do that tomorrow so we need to take both of them out.

If a convert is used on Sunday it'll be near on impossible to suss out who it is. KGB are likely to use the convert as late as possible in order for that person to be almost bullet proof from a BI perspective.

 

We have them on the run here.

 

You are making the rather large assumption that Obi or DT - whoever is the imposter - is the KGB assassin. Have I overlooked something that would point to this?

 

I'd prefer to keep MI6 if possible. That would help us dig out the convert.

 

If we keep things as simple as possible then they have less room to hide. Strange voting patterns are exposed easier. They have to think twice before influencing things. We don't accidentally get caught out by being talked into assassinating Philby only for Burgess to protect him.

 

No they don't have to be the assassin, it's just they used a kill last night so will have to wait a other night before assassinating again.
