The arguments are as follows. How likely do you rate them? @ FBI Action Subject Neal is practicing a flooding technique to keep us from getting anything from...
I've jumped in and ruled on the two arguments. The judgments are as follows. @ On Marcus' argument to torture 101... Bastardo appears to be the consummate...
Marcus is making a move to break subject 101’s spirit that is really likely to happen. Nils is trying to break up the torture team’s discipline by having...
I am going to follow Chris' lead and rule at the outset that one of the Arguments is bound to happen. The only question is whether Chris' initiating Argument...
By way of clarification, by the words "simply rate the probability of the modifying Argument and roll once for it", I am referring to the probability of the...
For those new to the group – there are many different approaches to Matrix Games. Engle Matrix Games are only one. Marcus has run several “Thrust and ...
FBI Neal is now open to engaging his interviewers in theological/political discussions. They are of course interested and ask for more readings they should do....
... I'll rate it "okay"--the argument seems too much sweetness and light, the best of all possible interrogations. Neal is a subject who will certainly salt...
Yes, in fact if you read my adjudication you will see that your Argument was the only one that got a roll. Ultimately it had a 50% chance (incidentally, as it...
I don't know about my method requiring extra thought, but it is true that it only works to resolve a dispute between two conflicting Arguments. Marcus ... ...
By the time the electricity was shut off and hour later, Subject 101's voice was hoarse and ragged with almost constant screaming. He was by that time so...
The Action part of Chris' Argument flows sensibly from his preceding successful Arguments, and is quite unambitious. The "Result" line, however, does not...
My understanding of Marcus' method is that when there are competing arguments where one of them will happen that they can be resolved in a single roll. Imagine...
This one I’ll quibble with. I’ve definitely made an argument where we extrapolate a lot from a little bit on information. I can certainly agree that that...
This is decidedly a really likely action. People are completely breakable by torture. My understanding of torture training during the cold war is that they...
... Yes AND 101 dies. In the years following the interrogation, news of it leaks out through the huge sieve that is the CIA. One of Bastardo's many, many...
If Chris indented to Argue, in effect "I extract a booklist from the prisoner, put the publishers and authors names into a database and that produces an...
Impossible! This I must grant to torturers. Only inept ones kill and Bastardo does not strike me as inept. An impossible rating does not mean it can’t...
Time to roll! Marcus has a really like action (101 is broken). Nils has an impossible action (101 dies because of being broken). Marcus rolls 6. Nils rolls...
Before we settle this democratically (which I think would cut off useful discussion) I’d like to hear Marcus’ views on the power of the referee. In the...
BTW That was my intent so my argument failed. Combining data collection and data analysis into a single argument weakened my move. Note to self: Keep them...
I’m going to allow this as a stand alone argument. I think it is still pretty unlikely but it could happen. Marcus do you want to make a counter-argument? ...
The problem was not "combining collection and data analysis into a single Argument", it was simply that no amount of analysis of the wrong sort of data is...
