I got lots of "wrong" people as maybes, I have a friend and cousin with karate black belts, a cousin with brown-1 stripe and my sister is going for black, also my uncle teaches karate!!

Hey, I could start an army!

All hail chichiri, the ruler of bunnydom with his army of pretty-pink bunny-suited family-karate-peoples!!!

*heads over to antarctica to re-establish it as bunnydom, bunnies all die of pneumonia*

Damn!! now I have to settle for killer moles in moleville, formerly the sahara!!!

Completely agree with Chris and Reason, it's unlikely that there will be one, firstly because the Third Power have "been there and done that". Secondly, if they wanted to put a mole in, we're not exactly going to be able to stop them...witness what happened last time - "I saw this ad in the Metro for this, so came along" ((Nor should we want to, in the interests of the progression of the storyline/game))

Finally, I'm not submitting to any bag searches - I don't want some feelthy, steenkin' tea-leaf rummaging in my handbag and making off with my lippy.

Well, I suppose there's no way really to figure that out until the events of the days present themselves. In short: I don't know.

Allow me to break TINAG for a moment to try:

In light of the message recveived in the NY PCAG...please read above post again

[European Chris]

I think we will be told what we need to be told at the appropriate time. The PCAG event and all the players should be considered as bananas. Approaching people to get information out of them is just going to be uncomfortable.

Lets just concentrate on enjoying ourselves.

[Mikeyj]

Not really what I mean...you're right, that would be very uncomfortable. Just suggesting that we could be a little more prepared. Is there anything extra that we'll need, could be of use, that we should make sure that at least the unforum teams have available in case we have to respond to something quickly? Rather than letting shit happen?

Not suggesting clip-board and psychometric "Are you a 3P member" questionnaire...

[European Chris]

I don't think there's anything we can do other than be reactive. If we suspect someone is a mole what can we do? If we ask them if they are a mole and they say 'no' we move on. If they say 'yes' we can't do anything anyway.

And letting stuff happen is good, it's fun-even if it is 'bad'. If we had seen the mole at Clapham try to get on the helicopter we could have held him until he got a bit annoyed or let him get on the helicopter which just looked cool.

Playing this game is a reactionary process, our actions don't mould the story arc so lets just worry about what we can control and not worry about what we can't and just 'ave a laugh.

[spec] I think when they're explaining everything to us some guy will come in with a hostage or something. [/spec]

[Mikeyj]

Chris, I don't entirely agree

I'm not sure where the mole tracking thing has come from, but that's been mooted above and I don't think that's practicable at all. If something does happen it will be made known somehow (coded message slipped into a couple of the teams start packs, or something strange in Holborn somewhere...yes my descriptive powers have left me).

Letting stuff happen might be fun (and yes, there isn't much you can do to stop a helicopter taking off...maybe throw bricks at its rotor...although, I might feel guilty if one hit something), but it's decidedly unARGish.

/me assuming fat meta hat...not sure I need to, but it's snug and I've just had a shower and the draft from my oversized perspex windows (with bars, this IS Liverpool you know) is making my head chilly.

If we do not influence the story arc in any way then this is merely a rather shiny puzzle trail, with card-shaped knobs on. (and therefore, frankly...a bit dull...if someone made me one like this for my birthday though, I would be impressed...maybe MC are attempting to impress someone...is this just an attempt to get girls/guys?)

Yes, much of the time we are presented with choices that are yes/no in nature, presumably there are two potential arcs, or maybe these decisions affect something much further down the line (for example, did us telling sente about violet and the recons simply put her off us for a bit, or will it come back to haunt us later, when we find out that violet has been trailed this whole time by one of her dad's mates? Perhaps cmulative betrayals is what will cause problems/plot twists). If we don't do things by a certain time, or in a certain way then a particular path is chosen.

Particularly with a live event it is not possible to prescribe all the action in this way. You can try and limit choices, but there will be a large number of people there with different ideas of how to respond (with larger or smaller amounts of knowledge as to wtf is going on) and something is bound to happen that the PMs haven't planned for. This is where we test their mettle and see how well they can think on the fly. This sounds like I'm advocating utter disruption of the precedings (a reverse flash-mob when they say good morning?), but that's not my intention...I just wanted to crap all over "our actions don't mould the story arc so lets just worry about what we can control and not worry about what we can't" without crapping on "and just 'ave a laugh.", which is prbably the most important thing.

Precision crapping

Should've used some sort of stencil perhaps.

I've thought of a lovely Syzygy analogy to tie my whole ideology together. Brace yourselves, this might be tenuous. Project Syzygy was so called (at least I think this was the conclusion) because MC was bringing two things into line with itself: Perplexcity and its denizens, Earth and us lot. I reckon that your view is exemplified by a central MC controlling both arms. It's not (in my opinion; that's a terrbible addition to that lovely two word sentence, why do I feel the need?). There's feedback in all directions and we don't have a Syzygy at all; it's conceptually a triangle with reaction and proaction along all three sides.

Although it would be better as a square. Maybe it is if you get the 3P on Earth involved as well.

Have read this back and I don't think would win any prizes for essay writing, but I;ve made myself late for work and will be thinking of better things I could have written to prove my point (or make it more muddled) all the way there.
