I second this.
Her Royal Fancypants Elodie!

[USEC_OFFICER]

So, brilliant composed Elodie, as opposed to Axspendable? I can dig it.

Well, we need to give her a name that begins with B, actually...

[SOLDIER First]

Boistelodie?

[i2amroy]

I'm nearly certain that you can't avert the poisoned chocolates ahead of time. Either you have one of the skills that tips you off, you have poison training, or you die.

The wiki says "Chocolates arrive (if you haven't eliminated /co-opted the sender):" so it's at least possible to be done (though I've never found the way to myself).

[Sheb]

Can you stop the spoiling?

[birdy51]

Bellodie. A most peculiar Mademoiselle.

Spoilers

Spoilers in relation to spoilers

Please stop discussing unspoiled spoilers until we've established how we're going to handle them.


Speaking of which, I guess we should handle that now. I figure a nice official poll would be the best way, though we could also do a standard tally.

For the options, I was thinking the following:


Full spoilers, no limitations to discussion.

Full but still hidden spoilers. Anything's fine inside a spoiler tag, but nothing spoilery (other than the votes themselves) outside one.

Almost full but vague open spoilers, anything inside a spoiler tag. "Well we'd better get good at dogs or else" would be fine, "We need 45 Dogs or else we die on Week 32" would require a spoiler tag.

Nothing spoilery out in the open, vague discussions allowed inside spoiler tags. "We'll need dogs for the you know what" would be fine inside a spoiler tag.

No spoilers at all. Take it to the other thread, or make one if you don't want to necro it.


I'm sure there's some options or permutations I'm missing, and it might even be better to handle tagged and untagged discussions as separate items for voting purposes. Thoughts on this as the option lineup and a poll as the census method?

[Sheb]

Poll, just let people choose as many options as they like.

[Flying Dice]

Sorry, I've been trying to limit it to vague hints inside spoiler tags.

That said, I've seen the same thing in the wiki, but I have never figured out how to prevent the poisoned chocolates from being sent. If it's possible at all it's an incredibly obscure route.

What do dogs have to do with anything? We smell dog on the chocolates and realise it is a dog-derived poison? We ride our trusty poison-sniffing St. Bernard wherever we go? We realise that Lassie isn't worried about wells this time? We reailise that chocolate is unsafe for dogs and therefore isn't safe for us either? The messenger was eaten by our personal poodle while trying to sneak into the castle? Supradoodle the Dog Wonder dashes to our rescue at the last moment? We attain a superior sense of smell derived from our sense of dog-oneness?

[i2amroy]

Sorry, I figured that since it was just saying that a vague thing was possible (without listing anything about how or when, and involving a choice that we already passed) it would probably be ok. (As I noted I've never actually done it, and it certainly possible that the wiki for the game is wrong.

That said my vote goes towards allowing anything we've already discovered outside of spoilers, after all someone could always just dig through the thread for past playthroughs.

Oh, yes. I had assumed that anything discovered in this very thread would be free and open game, though if we're doing a multi-selection poll I might as well throw that in as an option.

[syvarris]

Yeeep.  That's why I voted for dogs.  I wanted the hilarity of B12 winning on their first try, plus

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I wanted to see Axespendable win against the foreign invaders.

Also, I wasn't sure how much skill it required in dogs.  I just remembered that someone said "training dogs would be the easiest path to prevent dieing from the week 32 chocolates".  In a spoiler.

[Karlito]

Someone think of a good name that starts with "B".

[USEC_OFFICER]

Bellodie. A most peculiar Mademoiselle.

I kinda like this name, honestly.
