This game is all about diplomatic skills and lying.


It works like this: I will send out one random item to 5 different people who post in this thread.
After the items are sent I will update this thread and make the names of the people I sent items to public, but I won't tell anyone which items I sent. If you want to win you will have to get the other participants to tell you. Maybe in exchange for telling them what you know, maybe you can pay them or threaten them with bounties. Be creative. But remember: this is torn, so lying and scaming aren't against the rules.
The first one who tells me all items I sent out AND whom I sent each item to wins a DP. Tell me your answer in this thread and give us a rough idea why you think it is correct (If you don't tell us why, your entry will not be counted).


Only one guess per person every day (days of week - so you could try one minute before midnight and one minute after, torn time).
Everyone can participate, even if I didn't send you an item. Obviously the 5 people wo got an item will have a small advantage.
For the chance of beeing selected as item receiver simply include '/enter' in your reply to this thread. Depending on how many people want to participate it could be that you get a lot of messages if you got an item from me.
If a person with an item hasn't been online in 24 hours I will make his/her item public (or make a riddle out of it).

I don't know if there has been a game like this before and I don't know how well it works. If anyone has any good suggestions I could still slightly change some rules before it starts. I also don't have a name for this game yet, suggestions are welcome.

Edit: if you guess an item that I did not send out at all I will also tell you in some way. You don't have to tell us your own item when trying to solve if you received one.

Make every job special that gives you a spy report count towards the keen merit and a personal stat. Not just army spying.

Would make more sense imo. I guess army spying was the only way to spy once and this was never changed?

4/4

You sent a Donator Pack to Micachu.

It was fun to watch and worked out pretty well.  I might hold it again soon.

But if anyone else wants to host the next round feel free to do.

So I think if anyone really analyses the data in this thread and makes his next few guesses accordingly, this game is pretty close to beeing solved.

From now on you can make as many guesses as you want per day. Just not 2 in a row.

If I would make a second instance of this game, would you like to see the rules changed to: you can't win if I sent you an item?

I initially thought this game would manly be a fight between the people who got an item from me but it didn't turn out like that.

This way everyone would have the same chance and the people who got an item would have a npc role.

Alternativly I could send out items to more than 5 people and the fist one who tells me 5 correct wins.

Please let me know what you think!

Any tankie factions around?

Where tf do you get that numbers from?

I also assumed you are american, because when people don't mention where they are from while sayin something like 'our gov' it is usually the USA.

China hasn't recived that much foreign aid since like 20 years as far as I know.

Now the US just sends over a couple mil to found 'pro democracy' movements (aka trying to destabilize china). That's a big part of how the riots in HK are funded. So that really is solely for US interests.

So you think the people in chile should rather fight the international finance system than their corrupt government?


And they should fight against it under their corrupt government? Their government is a part and enabler of these systems.

Th... that wasn't even the real source. I can't show you the real thing because you would be to stupid to understand it

Are you aware how f**king stupid you sound?

I wouldn't want to spoon feed you, so I am not telling you why this paper is completely irrelevant here. But I am sure you can figure it out if you read it.

Hint: look at the list ouf countries closely and see if you can find Chile on it.

Telling people they are wrong but not why is just stupid, pointless and shows that you actually have no idea what you are talking about. Not even a vague hint, just straight nothingness from you.

If you are saying that it can be traced back to the USA through pinochet: so what? You think the people should start a war with the USA instead of keeping it in Chile?

Nvm, I know you won't answer with anything but: "find out yourselfe".

Edit: by the way, I am right anyway. Pinochet started the neolib policies and the government after him continued it (privatising everything in the process).

"You are wrong but I will not tell you why"

What is even your point? That privatising water is not a neolib policy? That it is a good policy and the people should just eat it up?

If you know so much more than I you could just tell us from where these policies come, if not from their neoliberal government.

Well yes. It is a understandable reaction to the riots. But the riots are also an understandable reaction to the chilean government's neoliberal politic.
Reactionaries will say that it is just about the price increase but there is a lot more to it. Pensions, salaries, coruption, privatised water,...

Now why would you think this is the case?

So the military can shoot protesters who threaten their ultra capitalist government.

We have one for races won and one for racing class.

Would love one for driver skill (10?).

Just a very small suggestion, but I think it would be nice if we could look at all our honor bars at once instead of just in a specific category.

My point was that it woulnd't be that much easier to get as many people here seem to think.

But now that ched changed the description for the keen merit it is also fine. It just seemed more like an oversight to me that the other spy specials don't count.

Spying is never really something you want to do anyways. Getting the merit in a player owned company wouldn't be that much better than getting it in the army. People itt act like it would be a free merit. 

In the army it would take 100 days to get this (+the time you need to reach general rank).

In a 10* law firm it would take 100 days too. (but the other specials are not very good for most players)

In a 10* TV it would take 150 days to get the merit. (but you need high working stats to get into one and the 10* special would be better)

(I don't think there are more companies with spying specials?)

You also won't get payed in most 10* companies.

Like I said the reason I made this suggestion is not to make it easier but to make it more coherent.

That was fast. So I guess ched just wants it to stay that way and I can let this thread die.
