[QUOTE="Game Control, post: 166519, member: 4033"] That's not bad thinking. Here was the rub; You under evaluated Gournay's response to the coincidence; Balladur met him yesterday, you meet him today and claim to come from his friend who is the third wheel in the triangle. More importantly, he made a successful sense motive check. As a result he phoned his friend with his Cell Phone to get an immediate answer, no matter the 7 hour time zone difference. Beaujolais do not meet so many person that he'd forget he talked to someone about Gournay and poker just yesterday. Gournay is paranoid, he would have checked anyway, but if you had made a successful bluff check, he would have e-mailed him instead. This would have given you more time, probably until tomorrow morning. --------------------------------------------------------------- The +5 bonus to sense motive; In retrospect, you are right! I was too harsh. Overall, you didn't behave like someone who had been really warned away from playing poker with Gournay. Hey, you were willing to play a game. If it makes you feel any better, you failed the Bluff check fair and square, the +5 to sense motive didn't influence the result. I'll give such matter more thoughts next time, thanks for pointing it out. You know, in P&P you probably could have mentionned these sort of things before making the check. I think in the future, when you are working on these kind of assumption you probably should talk about them in OOC. I'm not omniscient and sometime I just don't think about all the angles of a situation. -------------------------------------------------------------------- About Kim: I didn't mean he should pretend to be a professor! He is indeed too young. I just meant that he should be pretending to be in charge while you pretend to be his assistant. Think about Lana; she's young and in charge. Kim could have held a similar position at the Red Cross. Heck, his idea of being a priest linked to the Red Cross wasn't half bad. Just wacky enough to be the sort of thing a superspy would do. And exactly the sort of things that make for a good story! I must say I was a little disapointed when it didn't happen. Of course I didn't show it; the wonders of internet. [/QUOTE]
