The options are
* small meeting of the "movie club" where a secret ledger is debuted where they write their opinions about both inmates and wardens in terms of gathering support as well as other info
* Office Space movie viewing party. Casual gathering of more inmates though not necessarily everyone, Job griping!

-- so what you are telling me is a bunch of Inmates are gonna watch Mean Girls and start their own Burn Book

- Inmate filter post - this would be some type of address to all inmates asking them to make some kind of group petition related to wardens such as having one warden step down and another take over an important supervisor position. Due to circumstances, it will take time for a confirmed plan here. In particular I'm looking for an accomplice warden

(cause Trevor is not on board THANKS TREVOR)
Circumstances being like some supervisor wardens, their respective plots are in progress or on hiatus, so we will see what makes sense with the emerging situation if anything

- Option 4: this is for if someone else has a good idea, such as a person who is not my character Walter who would like to host a gathering related to his ideas, and then all the players can get together in the poll like "hell yeah let's do option 4"

- accomplice warden: see above

also, to be clear, this isn't literally just "I'm gonna do whatever option wins" just a tool for gathering ideas. but sadly. I cannot do all the ideas at once. there are multiple days in Walter's month but I only have so many tags a month in me

also this is relevant to the fact that September will probably be a port month so that will also provide inmates the opportunity to be less bothered than a flood/breach and time to gather resources so that will probably be something that can emerge from any of these options

ImpureTale: you laugh but Eiffel (warden. collaborator. hiss) did hold a Mean Girls viewing
but yeah, that would be the idea. Gortash would probably be invited to Office Space version of the party

XD

he has yet to be introduced to the idea of movies

that is also gonna be Walter's excuse for Office Space especially if he fully goes forward with little overlap with Movie Club group to make it more efficient. That he is presenting it to people who come from societies very different from Walter's own - Gortash, Sebastian, Thrawn

I am 100% for gossip book because I love that shit xD

characters talking about other characters is fun AF and I will stalk the shit out of that

I concur, if that wins I'm stalking like crazy.

Florian would be so amused to know that someone feels the need for their own private ledger

Secret ledger is definitely taking place eventually in SOME form (may be just Walters own notes, etc) so I'm very glad the people are excited

yarnzipan: This was my thought. It'd be the extra super spy edition

pyotr already has his own private ledger <3 inside his head and in notes in his room written in coded russian

Trevor would like to say that he is flattered but he needs to 1. keep an eye on sebastian, and 2. doesn't believe pyotr has the brains to carry a successful revolution

but hit him up when you have a plan that has half a chance of succeeding

Hit him up?

He clearly has no interest

and wasnt even interested in discussing possibilities

he both shut it down and from pyotr's perspective got a mysterious visit from trevor's inmate who stabbed him, not even just stabbed him, but slashed his legs also so he couldnt walk

so no, he wont be hitting trevor up anymore

I don't think he was trying to shut it down, I think he was trying to wheedle out the holes in the argument but they were talking at cross purposes. But to be clear, he has a long history of hating the ship, seeing other people revolt, and having it crash around their ears. So no I don't expect seriously for pyotr to hit him up

from pyotr's perspective, he wasnt even proposing an argument

Oh 100%

so thats why it just seemed like everything getting shut down

Legit

and like trevor also left out critical ifnormation, like inamtes dying after a year. pyotr figured that out on his own, but was hinting at it

Honestly that might have been my own spotty memory

and trevor didnt say "here's whats wrong with getting the bus and booking it. inmates die after a year."

so it just all seemed very fishy from pyot's perspective. and then he thought he made it clear he was content to let the matter die

and then still got a visit from blitz and trevor freaking out at him for trying to "manipualte him"

whereas pyotr thought he was being relatively straight forward, at least for him.

so he is honestly just confused

and the lesson he got is 'well, i need to be more manipulative"

tbh Silver would strongly object to the "secret ledger" idea. sounds like a great way to alienate everyone you write about when it inevitably gets out! keep that stuff in your head where no one can steal it and make it public!

he and Pyotr definitely need to hang out more because he approves of the coded Russian idea

secret ledger must be in code! but he also wouldnt trust the group to be able to keep it secret, esp after the allan thing. his expectations are rock bottom....

That is a valid point

when the group is properly terrified of incurring his wrath, then they can be trusted with a "secret ledger"

Walter's perspective is that, although he is currently totally unaware of the various stuff that Trevor and Pyotr went through (though might find out perhaps even through other means since Blitzø is not always subtle) , Trevor said no so he is looking for a different accomplice warden

He'd actually be really mad if he knew about this because first of all, the plan for Trevor to become a monitor again directly contradicts the idea Blitzø got into his head that Trevor would be harmed or demoted

And second of all, his post... Well, Trevor's interpretation that the post was trying to manipulate him into going for the position is kinda correct. But still it also legitimately is a field for other candidates. He did not bother Trevor again after Trevor's reply to the post...

And then also it's like finding a candidate is also going to be even more relevant if/when Xie Lian does go home.

(Walter does think Florian is at least competent lol so it's not the end of the world...)

Well anyway Walter made the "who was helpful when you first arrived" post back in July. Since then a lot of stuff has happened most notably the custodial warden conflict. So yeah, there is not an immediate plan.

Walter does consider Silver's opinion very important!! I was eagerly reading his thread with Hanna. He could definitely get into work shopping the casual Office Space inmate party idea with him

Walter is very indignant about Hanna's situation similar to Annie's arrival.

That said, I imagine it is possible for future discussions with Trevor and Xie Lian to go well. But if Walter gets Pyotr's perspective of what happened with Trevor and Blitzø, or an outside perspective like yeah he was brutally attacked a little while back... Oh boy...

Oof. Yeah, I think Trevor needs to lay down the law a bit with Blitzo, he didn’t fully appreciate how violent his inmate got

Blitz is also still taunting Pyotr weeks afterward, showing that Trevor... did not in fact lay down the law

https://lastvoyages.drea... relevant thread

i know there may be ooc reasons trevor hasnt done it yet, but it will be coloring pyotr's perception in the SH thread

i am also open to having him kind of ignore it though, if it is ooc stuff... idk

(i know theres only so many threads one can do, esp with a major event around the corner)

Yelena would also not be on side with a secret ledger. Too much risk of exposure if there’s anything useful there, and they already have a gossip book in the speakeasy if there isn’t.

Thank you for the voice of sanity Yelena. Well that's a decent critical mass of skepticism for the idea within the existing small group, so now Office Space scenario seems semi likely

Yeah I’m sorry I should have been more proactive about jumping on that

no worries!

WELL THIS IS GOING TO GET VERY INTERESTING WITH THE REVEAL OF SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER BEING SHAKEUP...
I'm pasting it here too lol

Okay I think that pre-port broader movie party, and during the port secret group hanging out in some way like group house depending on what their wardens allow, could be a good way to go?

Well a group house might be too conspicuous but you get the idea

Alright here is my tentative invite list, any IC vetoes speak now or forever hold your peace
- Gortash
- Sebastian
- Thrawn
- Hanna (wouldn't be surprised if he says no based on comments)
- Durandal (might need to plot a little bit for this one)

"forever" I say even though, like, it'll be days before this goes up

Frankie?

Since its about jobs...

That is a good point. Especially since her and Thrawn's roles in the jobs were related. In my head Walters feelings about "finally" meeting her and throwing the party are a little separate but I think it could make sense like "I'm also having a party do you think it sounds cool"

Im rooting for Walter

to get to meet Frankie

It's so funny like I was saying a while ago wow Frankie's post gives him hope! And then... A lot of other stuff happened lol...

....Hanna being invited to a secret meeting is such a bad idea after what he did. He isn't going to snitch but he'd remember.

If anything ever happened later just points the finger like All y'all messed up for this

Pyotr probably wouldnt be a fan of inviting Hanna

That's fair. Hanna is freaking stupid. Walters plan is for this to be a lot more casual than the last one that was like WE SHOULD FORM AN UNMENTIONABLE BROTHERHOOD OF SOLIDARITY and then the bond was promptly broken

Hanna really would be kinda in the "you deserve better than what you got from the admiral" invite category similar to Annie, which was... Also not productive

So yeah it will likely not happen now

That is a good choice Walter xD Though Hanna would protest that he isn't stupid, just has idiot tendencies. He can be pretty smart thanks

Unwise then.

Sebastian would be mildly puzzled at being invited to Secret Meeting, but he would attend.

I wish I had an accomplice warden to offer, alas. Gojyo could work well in the Inmate Supervisor position, but he'd have to be bullied into not being a jobless bum first.

Hakkai is available for bullying

Bully away

Gojyo's qualifications of being Very Heterosexual

I managed to work the Sebastian invite into our current thread (though this takes place some weeks before the party would, so it is not an immediate invite)

I've been very behind so I'm no longer sure I'll be able to post pre-port party

I'm bringing this very old plurk back just to say. THANK YOU EVERYONE for explicitly saying that any hard copy ledger is a bad idea. These are game canon convos to me. Because Malcolm might FINALLY search Walter's stuff and there WOULD be notes there if this had not happened

I would be open to that outcome, but I never really solidified any form of it all this time, so I'm glad it worked out naturally so there's not some turn of events anyone would be super unprepared for. That's all
