I have an idea for a four player game to test out a story about two Tokolorian Terrorist detainees in the US Marine Base at Montego Bay. It will be mildly...
INTERROGATION: A TALE OF TWO PRISONERS 2-12-09 Chris Engle In this age of international terrorism no state can afford to ignore threats. The world has long...
This game sounds perverse enough to bring me back from lurker limbo and take one of the roles. I would prefer to be torturer than torturee, but then again who...
Excellent! We will have a game. We can do both roles at the same time since I want to look at the contrast. But first lets see if we get any other takers. ...
Cool! That means we have one slot left open (an interrogator) which I think I will fill. I'd like to be the FBI investigator. Does that count okay to you...
That's fine. I will be the more bastardly CIA. Marcus ... From: MatrixGame2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:MatrixGame2@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Engle Sent:...
Okay time to get this started. Marcus and I can submit our arguments at the same time since they will not be in conflict. Then the detainee/material witnesses...
Opening move: Well, fortunately I've been briefed about how this will work. He repeats the verses to calm him. "My name is the name of the son of grandfather's...
F. Caesar Bastardo, Officer CIA Special Activities Division, dropped the file on Subject 101 hard onto his stainless-steel desk, and called in his assistant. ...
From my perspective this is a good start. Mr. N is talking to me and more importantly talking to himself. He doesn't want to hurt his comrades and is focused...
I got your move. It looks like your guy is practicing some blocking self talk. My read on it is that he will put himself in a relaxed trance with his repeated...
Hmm. I think I'm confused about who is interrogating me. FBI or the CIA dude? Should my turn succeed, I think the CIA's argument would be "Pretty Weak" as they...
Fortunately for your character’s future mental health you are being interviewed by the FBI – the more humanistic approach. So my strength is okay. Cool!...
Neal will you judge Nils' argument? Chris Opening move: Well, fortunately I've been briefed about how this will work. He repeats the verses to calm him. "My...
... Erm, Chris, I think there is some confusion, probably owing to my handle "nilsderondeau". I tagged my fellow detainee, who I take it is being played by a...
Neal Durado is the other detainee player. Marcus and I are the interrogators. Should we use a name other than Nils for you? Chris ... -- Hamster Press = Engle...
So are "Neal Durado" and "Nils Derondeau" different people, or has the same person actually been signed up twice under slightly different names? If we are...
Maybe if I say this mathematically it will be understood: Neal = nilsderondeau "nilsderondeau" is what is known among habitués of the internet as a "handle."...
Good point. Should we be doing enhanced interrogation techniques? As an FBI guy though I'm willing to believe anything. I think they are two different people...
Okay - so much for my trusting. Since Neal is Nils he probably shouldn't judge his own argument. I'll do that. I think it is a "Yes but" argument. Yes I'm nice...
FBI turn resolution: We have two arguments. The FBI action is to lay the ground rules, good treatment and direct questions and rapport building. This has been...
Hm. I should have taken the opportunity to write both prisoner turns. That would have been "adding value up the chain of command" as they say. Oh well, next...
I’ve not heard from Neal today so we will run with an unopposed action. I think I said above that we’d use Neal’s other resistance argument if no new one...
I now invite Marcus and myself to send in the next round of interrogation arguments and for Neal to make counter-arguments to them. Chris -- Hamster Press =...
FBI Action Subject Neal is practicing a flooding technique to keep us from getting anything from him. This technique takes a lot of effort and concentration. ...
