[A] The Agency - GAME OVER -- SPIES WIN

[ravenvii]

Looks like we're throwing in the towel and calling the game over with a spy victory

That's okay with me -- I'm going to have a series of 'real life' stuff coming up starting tomorrow evening -- a move, going out of town, and then a week of training at the new job.

But note that the agents *do* have a slight chance of making it -- if the whole team votes before a 'no confidence' is played.

It was pretty impressive co-ordination to have all 4 spies online at the same time at the end when most of the others weren't around. I can see why people would think its a 'dick move' to hurry it through like that since it gave no one else any opportunity to react as they weren't around, which is an unfortunate problem playing these things online.

Yeah, thank you for saying that more eloquently than I did. That combined with crappy participation from some people makes things incredibly annoying, especially with the way it went down. If I sound bitter it's because I am. I realize real life intervenes, believe me. It still affects the game, in my opinion. And, I share a good deal of the blame for the Agents. It's just tough when you're going round in circles with fellow good guys. I feel terrible for the cluster**** of mscriv, twietee, Fenris, and I, driving each other nuts and eventually to our demise.

mmm - ok everyone lets all plan to be online at the same time when DP is flying tomorrow

 

[Don't panic]

It wasn't all 4, just me and moyank.
And it wasn't coordinated,
I just seized an opportunity as it presented. If the nc card hadn't come out, we would have to wait next round. But if you played nc, then you still would have lost inbthe next round, i think ( as long as i could play my card

You would need a perfect team, but considering you know 3 out of 4 spies, the chances are pretty good...

I know all 4 spies thank you very much.

 

[Don't panic]

Interesting game. I was like wtf is going on most of the time, and honestly I didn't have the time to contribute.

Dp would it have been better if I had nayed this mission?

Yes, we would have won even without the other nc card

 

[ravenvii]

So it's obvious we're going to nay Don't panic's team, so let's move to @FenrisMoonlight's team?

I'll immediately end the game if @FenrisMoonlight chooses a team that contains one spy (there would be no point in continuing, then -- a nay vote would hand the victory to the spies, and the single spy would simply delay until the no confidence is played).

@FenrisMoonlight choose wisely...

 

[FenrisMoonlight]

Lol

Lol - you serious ravenvii? This sounds more like the avalon variant with Merlin as a good guy!

If your serious - the 4 spies are @Don't panic, @Koodauw, @WoodNUFC, @Moyank24

so my team would be @twietee, @mscriv, @Queen of Spades, @Sythas, @techgod

Team its important none of you vote Yay until all 5 are online at the same and Moyank is offline. Please use the forum to check this. Then all vote Yay and immediately PM ravenvii with your success vote. That way it can't be no confidenced.

@twietee you need to make the same arrangement for mission 5 but replace you with me on the team

 

[Don't panic]

SMH....

 

[Queen of Spades]

I think being hidden would screw that up, no? Agents, if you're hidden make yourself visible when online. I am following each of you.

 

[ravenvii]

SMH....

You might want to take down that little fist -- at least for now

@twietee you need to make the same arrangement for mission 5 but replace you with me on the team

You don't even have to do that -- the counter resets at a new turn.

 

[mscriv]

Hey all, just got back and had a chance to read the thread. I'm not following how the game is over. If Moyank's team was No confidenced and DP played Strong Leader what phase of the game are we in at this point? Can I still use my own Strong Leader to take back control? I gotta go again, but everything moved so fast tonight it's crazy.

good point that will make it easier to coordinate - ofc this wouldn't work in RL but the neither would DP's gambit

 

[Don't panic]

Nah
If the agents need to be coordinated by the GG to steal back a 'victory' that goes against the spirit of these games, be my guest.
I am done here.

I don't think you can with the new rules since we're no longer in a mission phase. The point being that the final no confidence is in the hands if the spies so you all have to agree to my plan. I hope you finally believe I'm an agent!

Ohh true lol and I'd they no confidence twietee mscriv is next up

 

[Moyank24]

For real, what the heck is going on!??

DP, did you blow us all up for no reason?

 

[Don't panic]

DP, did you blow us all up for no reason?

Nope, they just cannot lose gracefully.
Pretty sad, honestly

DP missed the fact that you have to be online to use the no confidence so we can use the same tactic as he did to hustle the mission through quickly while your not around.

 

[Queen of Spades]

I don't really think the Agents did anything? However, I am greatly, greatly, greatly amused by the turn of events. So there's that.

 

[FenrisMoonlight]

Nope, they just cannot lose gracefully.
Pretty sad, honestly

I think ravenvii should have let us figure it ourselves but I'm pretty sure at least one of us would have realized we can use exactly the same tactic as you did to hustle through that mission. If it's fair for you to do it, it's fair for the agents too.

 

[ravenvii]

Nah

I'm not 'coordinating' anything. I simply provided strategy as everyone seemed to have thrown in the towel. As this is a new type of game, there's last-ditch strategies you (the general you) probably didn't see.

I admit that interjecting myself into the game is against the spirit of the game, but I want the game actually completed so we have strategies and data to get better next time, both in rules and in play strategies.

I understand if you disagree. I probably would too if I'm in your shoes

 

[FenrisMoonlight]

Note neither tactic would work in RL and it just emphasizes why we have all the rules and structure and play orders for WW games and that there probably needs to be something similar in place for this one.

Neither would lack of participation, for that matter. If we're on the spirit of the game. But I admit I'm just lolololing right now.

I WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN!!! THE KIDS CAN TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!! I GOT THIS!
