Actually, Togas cleared me to talk about cows and beef, but I decided it wasn't really needed in that post about the founding of Madrid and I didn't include it. I'd ask that others refrain from talking about beef and cows unless Togas authorizes it, however. Same goes for hills and even that we're near the ocean (though the squid stuff may give a hint of that...).

We talk about the river freely, of course, since that's already been plastered about

As people seem to have started to trust our inocence on the Annals of madrid topic on the public forum (they seem to think we have no or few ambitions about wining the game!), we should start and poison them with fake info about us and starting positions, all well mixed with bits of real information to make it more acurate. Arnelos, why don´t you post something as a member creating an Ice cream factory, or telling them about señor rubi maser´s cacti plantation? That could make ´emthink we are somewhere we aren´t. Also, maybe you could tell about someone wandering on vast grasslands and plains, and keeping secrecy about our hills. Also, I see that History guy must not say he went into the mountains for wandering, but instead into the desert...

For that plug, I'm giving you a case of my finest cacti, Señor Winterius

Afterall, it would not be a complete fabrication, we have several desert tiles near our city. I think disinformation concerning our local terrain is a great idea

[Thud]

Say I invented ice cream, and its all the rage nowadays. Announce I'm selling it through my shop, but anyway ice cream spoilt by a strange black liquid is not my responsibility. Yes, this sort of roleplaying disinformation is a great idea.

[Thud]

How do you remain competitive while roleplaying?

The distractions and disinformation are working quite well already.

The only problem with doing this is that they will know eventually that we were lieing to them. When they finally look at our map and see that we have no desserts or ice nearby our starting location, they'll be able to call us on the lies we've been spreading and we'll lose their trust.

If we're going to lie, we need to lie about things they CANNOT disprove.

We need to work hard now to present ourselves as trustworthy, straightforward, and fun-loving. It's perfectly OK for bits of truth to be given to the other teams about us, especially when they will later be able to verify that we were telling them the truth.

True, maybe its better to play dumb, like we don't know yet, or you're unsure because you haven't seen the latest maps, then to lie about something they can catch you on later. Or your too involved in the latest heresy trial or festival.

[ThePlagueRat]

Right...
So if I'm gonna post a public travel-memoire after my expedition,
I will post it here first so you can check that I don't give away vital information about our exterior.
A doublecheck is always nice.

I guess I will just try to make up an amusing RP story then...
- what happened, what we did, people we met, stange food and rituals, etc.

OOC

Yes, talk about the strange peoples we encountered:

0. The people who introduced us to some basic food in Spanish cuisine
1. The people with only one foot who got around by hopping about
2. The people who worshipped the tomato (they could be the same people as #0)
3. The people whose gods were named Uhhhh and Ummmm
4. The people who dressed in cloth from head to foot in public and covered their faces but left their buttocks completely uncovered in order that the noise of foolishness [i.e. talking] would be kept silent but the noise of wisdom be dispensed freely
5. The people with a giant bronze gong as big as a house which they bwanged twice a day, every day a) once when it was time for the tribe to wake up, and b) rhythmicallywhen it was time for the tribe to go to their Lovers’ Beach and make little tribesmen

the more bizarre and ludicrous and just plain silly the better!

[Nuclear Winter]

What do you think on this, me going there and posting a story like the Squid´s saga: making me travel long into the sandy plains to look for the so afamed desert squid, to help us save madrid from the greatest squid crisis ever...
We have plains (some) and we have deserts... but this shall mislead them into thinking that we are far from anything resembling a hill... post here if you approve it.

[ThePlagueRat]

I guess you can make a squid story if you wish to.
Uh, I would have written about something else than squid.
(but that's just me)


Well, I don't care much what they think might think about
our terrain. At least, they should not suspect anything about
our prod.capabilities before we build numerous
great wonders fast.


Now, they already know we got a river!
(if they are bright enough to tell,
through the river throwing post out there )
Ok, no big damage I guess. Just terrain issues.
Leaking an attack plan would be far more fatal...

[GeneralTacticus]

Well, they may be able to tell from what we've posted, but who's to say we're telling the truth?

[History Guy]

Good ideas, all of them. We must bewilder and mystify always. They must be given conflicting reports on terrain, and on everything, so that they are so confused about these matters that they can gather absolutely nothing.

[Nuclear Winter]

I´m waiting my most high lord togas permission to post the desert squid saga
