week 3 ( monday );

[Meeting in the longhouse is a go! Lief clears his throat, as a part of him wonders how he keeps ending up in this situation, but:]

Thank you all for gathering here. These past few weeks have been difficult, but I pray that none of us fall into despair. Now, more than ever, we need to keep our spirits up and put an end to this twisted game.

Vriska and Kirigiri have asked that we take advantage of our time now to discuss our next course of action, without an immediate deadline constraining us, driving us to ill temper. As we have struggled with how we should approach the trial, perhaps we should focus on the roles—the ones with the purpose to kill.

In particular, what sort of people would the Chiefs place in such a role? Not necessarily who would kill, normally, but who would be the Chiefs' "ideal" candidates. That is what we wish to figure out.

... Of course, we may not come to a complete agreement. But perhaps we will walk away from this with a better idea of how to go on from here, if nothing else.

[ooc: basically, a mingle post to discuss stuff! top-level and hijack away, etc.]

But then there's the secondary problem of not knowing what most people's levers are.

It can generally be hard to find out until after the fact. The point is...I don't think anyone could be discounted from it so easily as "they don't seem the type".

Everybody has something and if there's any way to figure out a pattern of what those somethings are, maybe we'd stand a chance.

Knowing what limits, if any, exist on the incentives they can offer would help.
zerotohiro: (Thinking deep thinky things)

If they managed to bring us all here, somehow I don't think they have a whole lot of limits to work with. But that's true, too. We could try asking, but we should have a back-up plan too.

[personal profile] evidentiary 2017-08-23 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
We lose nothing by asking, so we may as well...the worst they do is laugh or refuse to answer, when it comes to questions. Unless you ask things about the rules and suggest alternatives...
zerotohiro: (It's gotta be something good)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2017-08-23 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The one problem I see with suggesting alternatives is that they'd backfire on us, so we really should be careful about what we say to them.
evidentiary: (UGH ► stop the idiocy)

[personal profile] evidentiary 2017-08-24 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
I don't disagree. Some of the things brought up have locked us out of safety nets we could have used.
zerotohiro: (Well that's a surprise)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2017-08-24 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
The last thing we need is to plant worse ideas in their heads. So...we should be on guard until we see the perfect opening. Whatever that is.
evidentiary: (WHATEVER ► don't care)

[personal profile] evidentiary 2017-08-24 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
We must remain vigilant, so we will know it when we see it.
zerotohiro: ([CA] Cause y'all know nothin but my name)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2017-08-24 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Easier said than done though. Any bright ideas how to stay vigilant?

...Taking ten seconds to think before acting wouldn't be bad advice for some.
zerotohiro: (Uh...what are you doing?)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2017-08-24 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, good luck actually getting that across. We'll see how effective that'll be.
