Amateur Intelligence Agent [Inactive]

Reader mode
Switching to this.
And if I they get a room, I guess we can use some persuasion on the clerk if mystery person already got a room.

[X] Do an eyes only sweep of the surrounding area to find possible entry and exit points, along with anything else of interest. A through sweep will look suspicious.
-[X] Enter casually and attempt to find Alex.
--[X] Use persuasion to work your way in and up to the hotel room when needed.

EDIT: I don't think we'll catch them in time to listen or anything. They might be in a room by then.

Now, there's something inherently wrong with the winning vote. I won't tell you what it is, but I'll leave votes open long enough for you guys to talk to each other and try to figure it out.

Seriously, I can't slam my head into my keyboard hard enough at seeing it.

Aside from the changes the only thing I can think of is that they are in a room and thus we cannot enter
 
Guys.

I'm not caught up on this Quest so I'm not going to vote or point it out specifically.
But the clown asked me to take a look at the current vote, and then the front page.

It took me approximately 8 seconds on the front page to notice something SERIOUSLY fucking wrong with the winning plan.
And then another 12 to find something even worse.

I'm not gonna say "fix it, this vote is bad!" But I am going to say "that poor wall... I hope the rainbow within it can survive at-least...."

Flaws
  1. We are a ROOKIE, we don't have a good stealth skill
  2. How do you stealth casually?
  3. If we are stealthing in, won't security find that suspicious, and call the cops?

That's a harsher way to word it than I would say. Being dumb is not using the information in front of you. This is simply a situation of not knowing the information is there. Think about your approach into the hotel, and what people will think if ______

I think I can brain this.
Looking through the winning vote
Partially ninja's
[] Do a thorough sweep of the surrounding area to find possible entry points and stealth your way in casually.
Point taken by other votes(too inconspicuous)
-] Find Alexander and remember the woman's face.
Might be easy/hard depending on how little or many people there are.
-[] If found by the security, walk yourself out without a fuss given the chance.
This is only a problem If we are found, which seems to be average given that, as my understanding helps me, we have the same skill as an average person
--[] If not, listen in to Alexander and the woman for more information.
This is difficult depending on our skill to eavesdrop near someone without being noticed or sticking out. We don't seem to have much skill in this either.
Will update if i think on anything more
 
The best entrance is just to walk in and inquire about getting a room or act like we already have one.

[X] Casually walk in and see if we can see Alex.
-[X] Do not try and get too close to him and eavesdrop, if Alex loiters in reception then ask a receptionist about room rates or find a newspaper to pick up and read. Act as though you are there on completely normal business.
 
Oops. I was planning on editing it earlier but I kept forgetting. I'll go with Dark Ness' vote. Seems the best to me.

An interesting take on this.

You are an average person, with minimal training as a spy. What did you think when you read "Amateur Intelligence Agent"?
 
Anyone going to stir up any kind of discussion? How about this, when you guys realize what's incredibly wrong with the current course of action, I'll reward you with a point towards a skill of your choosing. Please, just talk about it or something before pushing forward. That, and the votes are pretty scattered. With pretty much only 6 voters, going by a majority vote feels forced and unnecessary.

Part of what makes a quest interesting is the discussion. If you're worried about me using what you say against IC, worry not. Everything is more or less autonomous. Granted bad decisions will bite you in the back, things that were going on without your intervention will go one behind the scenes until you either intervene, or it happens to cross paths with the MC.

You can trust me, I'm a liar.
 
Personally, I figure the thorough checking option is likely to get us looked at as creep and set off a lot of alarm bells.

We don't have mad skillz yet.

:cry:

That's definitely true. You guys seem to have started this with a very odd perception that you were a highly trained special agent. You're not. You're a mook who got lucky enough to be picked up on Alexanders radar instead of dealt with like every other person that get's involved in agency business.

Or maybe you're just a mook who skirted through training by sneaking about and making a few files look legitimate enough for you to pass what would have otherwise been a complete failure.

Or it's entirely possible that you were a mook chosen at random by the agency as a scapegoat for Alexander.

Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, don't treat it as though the MC is inept, as he isn't. Being a spy is the art of spotting nuance, and reacting in a way to effect things only in a way you want it to. There's a bit of a difference between ineptitude and lack of experience. Regardless, I literally Can't go one with votes being so scattered.

So even if you don't figure out what's wrong with it, could you all at least try to get on the same page?

Let's just go in casually, like we are meant to be here. Sneaking about will likely get us caught. It isn't like the movies, you don't jump through windows and scale buildings, you just go through the front door.
 
I'll switch to this...best to keep things simple. Following your lead Erehwon.

[X] Casually walk in and see if we can see Alex.
-[X] Do not try and get too close to him and eavesdrop, if Alex loiters in reception then ask a receptionist about room rates or find a newspaper to pick up and read. Act as though you are there on completely normal business.
--[X] If you catch up to Alex and he doesn't loiter try and see what floor his elevator is headed to and take another up.
---[X] If you can't catch a glimpse of him at all, settle for getting a room for the night. Make some small talk with the receptionist. Bring the convo up about their couples rooms , where they are and that you might bring someone next time.



Consolidate people!

So, I'll idly pose the question of what you guys would do if he doesn't loiter in the reception area?
