Prague - (Game Thread) GAME ON!!!

[Lassr]

interesting...

[Newcastle]

fascinating....

so how many you get right? hmm, and the mole is still there...chancy, chancy, chancy!

[Qantaga]

chancy, chancy, chancy!

Well, for all practical purposes, I'm playing a game with limited team participation and the likelihood that one of the ones that is actively participating is working against me. While your team, other than bb2112, keeps telling me how pissed off you are at me. It was time to take a chance.

[Remus West]

I'm a little offended. I'm tougher than that. I can take the worst that they bring. Stupid waiter just caught me off guard. I wasn't ready. Try it now. I dare you. I double dare you.

/bird tweets out the window

Arrrg. I'm not KIM. I'll tell you everything just don't.....er......stupid bird.

/kicks an imaginary rock and walks off to the Bull.

Maybe a drink will calm my nerves. Stupid pimps and their "pay for services" demands have me on edge.

We're all going to learn in the morning anyway - how many did you get?

You mentioned you only knew 2. That's all we know as well in our submissions. It's annoying to be stuck at 4.

We can always torture him tomorrow and thus know for certain if his Clues are good or not if we are worried about KIM. I do not see the game going further than that really so if he is not KIM then losing an agent shouldn't be that big a deal since there won't be a long term to bite us.

I'm curious - why is the game not going further than that? Q only needs one more scan to get all the clues?

Due to the number of scans you guys should have at this point combined with the number of scans KIM should have at this point. We (well, Q anyway) subitted a guess yesterday because we feel like we are so far out of it and needed to try to get lucky.

[Qantaga]

Newcastle, it's all good. I should have put a smilie in my post. I know that what happens in Prague, stays in Prague.

stess, I wasn't ignoring you. I just walked in the door from a very long day.

The reason I didn't reveal how many we got correct is that we didn't want to give Turtleneck any extra information when he made his decision to stay or go. I didn't want him to know how far/close we were to the solution. I'll spill once I get settled in (probably in an hour or so).

Well done GS!

So, is your Mole still around or did he fly home?

And why did you snipe the submission last night? We had already submitted and Unagi couldn't submit, so I can't figure out what benefit you gained by waiting until the last minute.

[Lassr]

Oooooooo, 9 out of 15.

Looks like we need another fact today!

[Remus West]

So, is your Mole still around or did he fly home?

Don't know.

[stessier]

Well, while we wait to hear, let's get this show on the road.

[Chaosraven]

Sorry, it's a KIM thing, you wouldn't understand.

[stessier]

Sorry, it's a KIM thing, you wouldn't understand.

Huh. Bout time you joined your buddy.

Can I ask why you waited so long?

[Chaosraven]

Now let's see...

How exactly to code the info in public so my partner exposed can gather and submit?

[Lassr]

Chaos was KIM! I was guessing Scoop.

So have you submitted it so we can get this game over. Bah! Humbug!

[Lassr]

Now let's see...

oh, no submission yet...

Oh I see what you did there. I pick number 2!

I think I may have handed in the winning solution here folks.

(has anyone else submitted something totally triangulated that all worked according to their known clues, and their known clues left nothing unknown? Cause that's where I think I just found myself... we'll see...)

(and I was shocked to see it on your list of solutions !!)

Oh a Photo Finish! I love this game

[Unagi]

Dude!! I'd skip Octocon - Unagi will string you up!!

I am bummed out that I will be out of town during Octocon.

And, Chaos - thanks for the info. Your clues were Critical to building the solution.

Since the game is almost certainly over at this point - how many clues were you missing? We were at 17 of 18 this morning.
