Yeah, spelled out like that, it's a very compelling argument for no espionage. It is better for us to die for narrative consistency than to live for ourselves.

Team FAGGOT, get your rainbow-colored, well-toned and shaped asses into gear and start posting stuff on our channel. Make sure to be fabulously cunning.

On this I vote A.

If we go B route then it will get all the way matagamey, with possible comms hacking and stuff like this.

If a game experience was designed from the start with the espionage in mind and all participants use same software for communications then it would make sense - everybody would be on equal ground. But right now - no.

This.

You're going to be stressed enough managing the flow of updates from multiple factions without adding butthurt and drama from espionage on top.

Since all the factions I wanted to join are filled with people I don't wanna work with, I'm just gonna pretend I'm the orks and read this thread without contributing. :greensmug:

butthurt does add to to the codex experience, tho.

this essentially boils down to:

A) treating this LP as an IF - keeping narrative cohesion intact - no espionage

B) treating this LP (or this particular part of it) as an actual game - narrative is secondary, metagaming makes sense - yes espionage

A

Espionage as in player - player is stupid. However, other espionage could be considered. Khayos in resistance, genestealers, etc. might be OK though.

Root, will we need to consider inner-faction relations (i.e.: morale, leader popularity, political backstabbing, etc...), or no?

'Espionage' through pming people with promises of powers should be exclusive to Chaos, out of obvious reasons :smug:

Wait, really? I haven't even had a chance to be an ineffective, unpopular leader yet. Give me that chance! I promise I won't disappoint!

Root, is there a particular time by which we should send our decisions to you? We currently have a united will but not a united mind; two nodes have not yet joined their voices to Ours.

Yeah seriously, I haven't really developed into a Hive Tyrant at this point. At best I'm a Hive Slightly Pushy Buddy.

Is the Chaos God's bride the Dark Harlequin ascended to daemonhood? Last time we saw him, he was torturing a Farseer with his words...

I think that there is room in our rainbow-colored fag brigade. But it's up to root whether he will allow more members and where.

Also, if you join it should be only after the update that uses our first decision - which should be today as it's Thursday already.

Probably my fault it's late - our majority decision got delayed, then our message to him didn't get through until last night...apologies. Like all great resistance movements, we're a bit of a fucking shambles.

I'm concerned that you might be a spy of some kind. :paranoia:

It's not even sure there'll be another round of this Free For All. But we will find out later today when root posts the update.

You mean imprisoning an autarch and looting Eldar technology means we'll be on bad terms with the Eldar?
