The Spies have offered you a bribe. (ep 2)

[Judge Sam]

$$$ Bribe Offer $$$

You have something the Spies want and they are willing to pay you to take it away from you.

What is it that you have?


































A friend.

$7.50[/center]



The Spies are willing to pay you $7.50 to take away your friend.


Who is this friend, you ask? This friend - someone out there who you do not yet know - is a confirmed citizen ally. I will tell you the name of a citizen, and I will tell that citizen that you are a citizen. Both of you will know that you are both citizens. You can work together. This means that you will have someone that you can trust. Someone that you can tell everything to. A person in this game who you can rely upon, tell your secrets to, and strategize with.


That's a valuable thing that no other Citizen in this game has. In fact, it's something only the Spies have.

And that's exactly why they want to pay you to take it away from you.


_____________________

To summarize:

You have a citizen friend out there. If the bribe from the Spies is declined, I will make you two masons. Masons are a group of people who all know each other are citizens, confirmed by the host. I would tell that one person you are a citizen, and I would tell you that they are a citizen. You two could work together to find and defeat the Spies. You could share strategies. You could completely trust this person.

This bribe is a secret bribe - it must be kept totally a secret and not revealed to the other players. If you reveal the bribe, it will be canceled and major penalties will take place. The Spies know of this bribe, but do not know who you are.

Please note that copying/pasting any part of this bribe is STRICTLY forbidden under the Big Two Rules and doing so would result in immediate expulsion. That includes copying or describing the picture.

___________________

Would you sell out your friend for seven dollars and fifty cents?

Before you think about that, there is a catch.

Your soon-to-be trusted ally has also received this same bribe. They will make the same choice you will. If they accept the bribe, and take the $7.50, you two will not be masons. You two will not be masons even if you yourself decline the bribe and want to be masons.


That's something to take into account... could you screw yourself out of both a friend and $7.50?


Please decide before Tuesday night at midnight. What's your price?

hmm. given the straits i'm in at the moment? interesting choice.

on the one hand, someone i could trust completely and that could trust me completely... that would pretty much be worth it's weight in gold right about now. especially considering how close i was to being exiled. plus, i could get someone like cory or jenny, and they'd be a maaaaajor asset.

on the other hand... i could get someone like mags or marge. not much help there. i could even get someone on the republican side. actually, that's a question i'd like to ask.

sam, what would happen if both i and the other person took the bribe and found out we were on opposite teams? would we be able to talk, or no?

i think i'd like the answer to that before i make my decision. right now i'm leaning towards declining and crossing my fingers.

[Judge Sam]

yes you could talk if they were on the opposite team.

[Chance]

alright.

i decline the bribe.

...and cross my fingers. *crosses*

[Chance]

also, sam, can i ask how the bribe offer was sent to me if the spies don't know who i am? or is it a game mechanic question that players aren't allowed to know about? if so, that's fine. i'm just curious.

[Judge Sam]

well, the "spies sending you" the bribe is more flavor than anything. because players don't set up the terms of the bribes, I do. i think the bribe system is much more interesting, exciting, fair, and reasonable that way. (also it's my cash lol, i would imagine you guys would be a lot more loose with offering bribes of high $$$$$ with my money than you would with yours!)

[Chance]

yeah, i gathered that part. i was just curious if i was picked for some reason for the bribe or if it was by randomizer, that's all.

[Judge Sam]

You have declined the bribe.

If the other person accepted the bribe, you will be out both $7.50 and a mason role.



The other person...

declined.

You are now masons with Gertrude. Gertrude is a citizen. I have told Gertrude that you are a citizen. A new, private forum will be up for you two shortly to discuss what you wish. You may talk about the bribe with Gertrude - but not with anyone else.

Congratulations on turning down a bribe from the Spies and making a new friend. I hope she serves you well.

[Chance]

freaking, freaking... okay FUCKING YES.
