... pokes head up ...

Is that it? Has day begun yet, O glorious modgod?

Well that just answered my question. LOL

 

Result PMs for abilities have been sent out. Stat update PMs to be distributed in a few hours. No surprises there, both Missions succeeded so you should know where you stand so far, but I want to keep it all updated on a personal basis.

 

This is going to be a beast for you to host if it requires that much hands-on stuff. Good luck. I find myself getting worn out from hosting these days. Not enough free time.

 

Something not specified in the rules: Black Market items are bid for and purchased publicly or by PM?

 

Pizza, you say you scan as OPFOR, is that what yours is (your ability/power whatever)?

Do you have a high discretion/strength to go with it?

 

He said, he has negative discretion.

 

Anyone find anything out?

 

I inquired on exactly how much negative discretion Agent Razor (askthepizzaguy) had before. It would be a useful thing to know. Especially with how things turned out yesterday, If we are fighting against a negative 10 discretion I would like to know about it. It should hopefully become less of an issue now that Agent Razor has a phone (+1 Discretion). But he should reveal how much of a burden he is being to his squad.

I assume that Arrested is the same as DEAD, or can arrested people be sprung free? I have no idea if Agent Dragon (spaceman98) was arrested due to the mission not having enough people or if someone turned him in during the night. The fact that we also have a self confessed bumbling incompetent along really skewers things.

We have a wide selection of missions for the day. We could probably do all three at once if we cut it close. Personally I'd say ignore the sightings investigation for today as it's not mission relevant, it doesn't even give a bonus item this time. I will be going on the JINR Infiltration due to having a phone, and voting for Agent Scipio (Takhisis) as a place holder until he reveals why he was AWOL yesterday.

Movement: JINR Infiltration

Vote: Agent Scipio (Takhisis)

 

Move: Barot House

Vote: BSmith

 

Since Dr. Barot's mission requires next to no discretion, I request that solely two other operatives come to Monaco with me. Move: Barot House

I am fine if only one operative comes along, as long as it isn't Razor. I will hold my vote for the moment. I suggest we henceforth take a closer look at the Tokyo operatives as well as Scipio.

 

Since the total discretion for the Barot mission presumably exceeds the minimum already, I request one last operative to join our squad.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

Also, Dreadnought, does everyone have a cell phone or just the Tokyo Operatives?

 

Just the people who went on the mission, I believe.

 

The Mission description is ambiguous enough, so although it is the most reasonable option, I want to be sure.

 

Vote: No Lynch Move: Barot House

I'll join Comrade Wolf (JoanK) in tracking down the elusive Dr. Barot. I believe that if we allocate 4 agents to Bogota and send the rest of our men to infiltrate JINR, then we will succeed in both missions. Although Agent Ultra (Ravus_Sol) will probably have something else to say about that.

Regardless, I believe that agents who have enough money should buy the SCUBA Gear. Items like this are indispensable.

 

My something else to say will depend upon Agent Razor and what his negative Discretion level actually is. Or on Agent Scipio and his AWOL status.

As to the Black Market items. Are they first come-first served? Or are there an unlimited amount for everyone to buy. Call me crazy but I sense a nuclear submarine heist... I will buy the SCUBA Rebreather. Even If there are a unlimited amount to buy off the black market, some agents should still hold off spending money in case something expensive but useful turns up at a later day.

 

Auction items are bid for publicly. Non auction items can be purchased publicly or via PM.

Non-auction items are of unlimited quantity, meaning any number of players may purchase them.

 

I'll decide on this mission thing later, but I'd like to announce that I'm good at manufacturing weapons and might be able to build something with the proper tools and materials.
