"Now then, George, Baldrick, you heard the General, I'm needed on top secret business back at HQ"
"Can we come sir?"
"No, Baldrick, I don't think your special brand of coffee would really quite fit in at HQ. As it is, you're just going to have to sit here and wait until you're told to die"
"Right you are sir"
"It sounds absolutely pants off, trousers down, bugger the old Hun fantastic sir, are you sure you don't want to wait around and go over the top with us sir?"
"No George, they let only the very best soldiers go over the top I'm afraid, and I, Captain Edmund Blackadder certainly don't deserve the honour of being mowed down by seventeen German machine guns until my body is in little bits, and the little bits are ground down until they're a fine powder and become a highly fashionable drug for the bohemians in Paris"
"Right you are sir"
"So, I take my leave of you."
*****
"Maaaaaah, are there you are Blackadder. Why didn't you tell me he was here, Darling?"
"I assumed you would smell him, sir"
"Very droll, Darling"
"That's CAPTAIN Darling to you Blackadder"
"Yes, Darling. Anyway, do continue, General"
"Yes Blackadder, always ready to give the hun a good boshing, wot?! So, it turns out that every night someone is breaking into my private study and is moving my drinks cabinet further and further away from Berlin. I WON'T HAVE IT BLACKADDER. I won't. These blackguards must be found. AND SHOT."
"And my role, sir?"
"Ah, that's right Blackadder, you're to lead the investigation. We've got some German spies in HQ, and they're draining morale. You must find them Blackadder, you'll have every resource at your disposal. The faithful tommies won't get new bullets, or be fed, and the artillery will go without shells at all until you solve this dreadful shambles. Now Darling is here to fulfil your every whim, would you like anyone else to assist you?"
"I can certainly think of a couple of men that may come in handy, sir"
So there we have it - there are German spies in the HQ. Blackadder has been put in charge of finding them, and George and Baldrick have been transferred from the frontline to help him in his quest. Darling is being disdainful, Melchett is being wilfully ignorant and Baldrick has a cunning plan. Can things get any worse for Captain Edmund Blackadder?
As the first step, Blackadder has rounded up evreryone in HQ and has asked them if they know anything - who do you think is the traitorous sort of hun chap? Who should be taken out and shot?

This is a
MiniPhalla. It's sort of like a
Phalla only on a smaller scale.
All of the standard rules apply. In particular, screen captures cannot be used to "prove" anything and if you're talking with someone and they don't know it's you (your PA name), that's anonymous contact and is against these rules. Dead players may talk amongst themselves (off the thread) if they wish but living players may not communicate with the dead. Standard 'honour-rules' on ghost posting apply.
Each night, all players will vote for the chap who should be taken out back as a deserter and shot. Please make your votes in
Bold Red. Retractions
would really be helpful, but aren't obligatory, and should be made in
Bold Lime. If you have any questions, please PM Micro (me) or post for clarification in the thread in
Bold Orange.
Also, you cannot directly quote or forward any PM you receive from me during the game (unless I give you permission) but you can do
whatever you want with any PM you receive from another player.
Please remember to forward the location of any ProBoards (or similar tools) to me. Thank you.

I'm an idiot and live in the UK - so days will begin and end slightly earlier than you lot are perhaps used to.

I feel the need to remind everyone that the first thing to remember is always treat your kite like you treat your woman.

It happens to the best of us.
And sometimes to kime.
!Reserve up because while I don't think I have time to be in more than one phalla right now, I never know how long I'm gonna last in the other one, and I hate inactives. Hate.
