Rumours!

I shall mention most of the details Earl leaves out, and really set the cat among the pigeons:

A shady but tempting deal offer, ostensibly from part of the RPP, to win our second preferences in exchange for giving Dwtl the shaft in the northeast, really exists.

While LNFer reactions vary from "just no" through "not enough" through "they ought to be saying this in public, not behind closed doors" to "fine with me if genuine. How can we be sure of that though?", it seems a consensus not to take the offer was emerging.
But know we also sort of wonder how much Marokai knows and who in the RPP(?) he knows it from.

I would hope that this thread wasn't an attempt to bring this to light before someone else did it for you.

"Someone else" being? (I'm not convinced Marokai knew all that much, btw.)

Note that "the LNF" means all the LNF. No shady backroom group exists within the LNF - the chair who received it broadcast it to all the other chairs simultaneously. (Every member is a chair, of course. )

It's a common tactic.  You know the sh**t is going to hit the fan... so you come out with it just before that to try and save some face.

Yes, yes, I know what you meant.
Heck, I'm not beyond the suggestion that Marokai's vague threat helped me make up the last couple of percentage points of my mind. Which sort of leads into a "where do you draw the line" discussion.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Not necessarily... that depends entirely on the fallout til election day.

This game isn't worth all this sweat and blood. Time to rethink my involvement in "Atlasia" once again. Perhaps it has gotten too intense.

You'd be surpised how many other election 'games' we've tried to start that never get off the ground They are obviously missing something Atlasia does not.

They didn't come first and occupy central place in the public imagination. They never stood a chance.

DWDL/Xahar! (lol)

What is this - a description of Hamilton?

[minionofmidas]

It was me who gave Marokai the information.

You did the right thing. Thank you Sewer Socialist.

There are people in the JCP I would have gone to first, actually.

Mostly because this way, it wasn't clear to me that Maro's information came from the LNF itself, making the jungle appear even thicker.
So I'm glad that's cleared up.
