The Pipeworks - by CleanOnion

Cool, in that case I guess you need to be careful that whatever actions you spies put in the pad stay in the pad because the one remaining true wraith will try to sabotage (assuming the inactive dude stays inactive).

[Silver Emerald]

Rather than explain it a third time, I'm going to post what I've said in the Sanitation pad. We've been told by DC that before he left (which was before the changed victory condition) he told Clean to assume he said yes to all actions.

Aurora: Assuming that DC did in fact give his assent to all actions, the two Wraith spies (believed to be Aves and Kuro) could evict the remaining member (believed to be Dema).

Aurora: They would then have free rein to use Infiltrate and possibly bring other factions within range of the south of the elevator. [A/N: W26 and W27.]

Aurora: The Megas and us are already adjacent to the elevator.

Aurora: The Wraiths are adjacent to a Hunter room (K3) and four tiles from an Engineer room (W9).

Aurora: This could easily be completed by the end of Round 16.

Aurora: Or 17. Whichever one is after the one ending in half an hour. [A/N: Clean says it's 17.]

Evicting someone from wraiths is a terrible idea. Only one of us is the real wraith. That player can do nothing, as the two spies will cause the moves to be bad for wraiths every round. If we evict anyone and end up being wrong, the real wraith can now influence the play and have wraiths do things. Onion may even allow DoubleCap's "agree to everything" clause apply to evicting the final spy, meaning wraiths would have free reign.

So, wraiths evicting anyone is terrible and will only happen if the other spy (Kuro) is dumb.

Saw this on my email (apparently I left notifications enabled)

I'll be fine, don't worry. Erm... considering everyone is working together (despite some evidence that there may be cracks) I think it's safe to leave me AFK, let them do their thing, and let them evict me if they want (as opposed to mafia where staying makes me a liability). I reiterate that I'm agreeing to all of their actions.

Cheers!

[Aves]

Actions are already set; it's best if the spies not have to guess who the real wraith is and who isn't-- it makes it easier for them to coordinate sending in the same PMs.

[Silver Emerald]

It is of course a bit late in the round. Was just another possibility which came to my mind.

[Demagog]

Conspiracy theory: everyone that gets on the elevator loses.

[Silver Emerald]

I wouldn't entirely rule out something going horribly wrong. All we have are some letters on a screen, and text is tone-deaf...

Items at the end of Round 16:

Spoiler for Notable events:

Engineers declared war against the Wraiths. The Great Alliance has been broken.
Sanitation threw a Javelin east from E26, taking out 3 tiles of Wraith territory.
Wraiths relinquished S7, V3, Z4 and B27 from their command. They also attempted to relinquish E6 and F24, but these had already been reclaimed by the time the actions were used.
Megalomaniacs took the first step into the Elevator. The air was sterile to the point of discomfort. There is no radiation in here - a feeling that no one in the Pipeworks has ever felt before.
Engineers invaded Wraiths territory on E6.
Sanitation entered the Elevator.
Engineers invaded Wraith territory on E4 causing some of their territory to decay.
Megalomaniacs gave T16 an eastern and a western wall, using Some Bricks and then Some Less Bricks.
Sanitation claimed F24, eliminating a small part of Wraith territory.
Hunters drilled east from S25 with their Slow-Spinning Drill.
Sanitation declared war against the Wraiths.
Hunters invaded Megalomaniac territory on T25, causing a tile of their territory to decay.
A Minor Collapse occurred centred on G24.
The odd piece of rubble falling from the ceiling every now and then warns of a Major Collase tomorrow.

Engineers found a Uranium Rod on E6.
Hunters found an Irradiated Recipe Book on S25. It was illegible, so they took out the metal coil holding the pages together and formed it into something resembling a Javelin.

ROUND 17

The Elevator has been highlighted with a white border.

With their home falling to pieces around them, the leaders of each faction try to persuade their people that everything is fine - while they themselves make a mad rush for the Elevator.

Though the Wraiths posed a considerable threat, some internal dispute has seemed to halt their attack. Assumptions about their intentions being hostile are thrown into jeopardy.

The best analysts all concur that there will be an unpreventable Major Collapse tomorrow.

Round 17 has ended.
There are a maximum of 3 rounds remaining.

Submit your actions in the top six lines of your titanpad. Please PM me any queries.

Thank you wraith spies! I believe relinquishing V5 should cause a whole load of territory to decay.

Sanitation, we are slightly paranoid about something happening and us losing all our progress towards the reactor, so will be launching a drone that will be passing through your territory towards the centre of the reactor. I believe that this way even if we lose our progress, if the drone gets there successfully we can use running shoes off it and thereby get the tile in the reactor anyway, so please don't laser pointer it.

[Aves]

Running shoes only affects unoccupied territory, so you'd need them to relinquish some before you use it.

[cribcreaky]

Ah that's true, I hadn't thought of that. I think we'll do so anyway though because it still gives us a little extra security
