Everyone from Team Recon is advised to begin following Randy and Earl on twitter and to strike up a casual friendship with them however they choose....

Either Case or I plan to post some ideas on the Recon Forum and y'all shd post yours there also. Now, my take is that we all should chat the Boys up as they will prolly be gaining access to Purity Towers.

Good thinking Tresbien! I'll see if I can't strike up a friendship with them... Very interested to hear what these guys have to say, after hearing so much about them from Robbie, haha.

Robbie, I'm not quite sure. I was thinking about the same thing. I mean, to play this properly, a loyalist would absolutely report anything and everything he came across (i.e: it makes sense that you would use what we put here against us.) But that makes things more difficult for us, haha.

My suggestion (feel free to veto this, any and everybody) is that any sensitive information be coded and not posted on uF. We spoke about this in chat not too long ago, and I think that this was the general consensus. General information, as well as story updates, should still appear here, so that any new players wandering in can get a basic idea of what's going.

However, there's a large kink in that plan: Our coding method is posted on this board. Robbie and anybody else who stumbles upon our thread and decides to join the Party's side will know immediately how to translate it. So, I would ask that in the spirit of keeping the game alive, Robbie conveniently forgot to read the pertinent post(s). Coming up with an alternate coding scheme may be necessary (and also fun, now we'll have to outwit the party as well as an experienced puzzle solver!), but we can cross that bridge when we get to it.

Whew. That was a long one. Anyway, that's just an idea. I'm trying to rectify the mantra of TINAG with the problems of maintaining the continuity of two realities. I might be overthinking it, haha. Ultimately, I believe the decision rests with Robbie and our deputies (in particular, the comm deputies.)

EDIT: Here's what I sent to Randy and Earl via email:

Hi Randy and Earl,

I just came across your website not too long ago, and I'm rather interested in your scrub. My girlfriend always tries to make me bathe with that girly crap that she buys at her girl stores. I need a scrub for a real man!

I noticed that you guys recently had a large order from Purity Towers, and that until you fill that, you won't be able to fill any other orders. Just how much scrub did they order? Sounds like the people there are dirtier than they'd like to let on.

IMHO the simple answer to this situation is for each side to respect what the others post here and not use it in the game space. This is the best place to convey information because it can be accessed by most everyone from anywhere instantly and is available 24/7.

Some of us recently played a game where there were two sides. We all chatted together and posted here and it worked fine. No need to complicate this. As Comm Team deputy, it's my intention that PinkCloud will continue to post codes here weekly or more often if necessary.

Le sigh. Deal, I suppose. You're still a Grotian sympathizer though, don't forget it! Twisted Evil

Sounds good to me. I wasn't sure how comfortable people were with suspending reality, but that definitely simplifies things.

Thanks for being such an agreeable enemy, Robbie!

okay so, I'll keep posting new codes here on uF, every Sunday night, and I will announce the change of codes (not the code itself) on ning as well.

about the shower scrub boys: super! we need to befriend them, gonna be great to have insiders! I was thinking that we could use the shower scrubs to sedate the party members, or use them to transport the secret language code to Archie and Melissa (once they gave in to our seduction efforts!). Remember, Selvin told us to use that language with them. Also like Tresbien's idea to put flyers in them. Sabo team, go! Smile

We have the best in-road to befrending Randy and Earl - just say you were the one he got married to in Vegas. Now I would volunteer, but you know, gender differences and all that...

They seem the type to be easily swayed by the female form though... any "hotties" want to try their luck winning them over with some photos?

While you're already making plans, I still need help with catching up: Can someone transcribe Randy's announcement at the end of the video? I watched it a view times but I'm having trouble with his accent and what I understand doesn't make much sense... Embarassed

Weirdness abounds:

Melvin isn't supposed to be dealing with the Deputies at all; that's all Selvin. Did any of you deputies get anything from MS/SM today?

So, Melvin screwed up, but that doesn't mean the PMs screwed up. This could be part of Melvin's story.

Hmmm. Strange how Melvin's email was sent to all of us - surely it should just have been sent to the Deputies...?
