Story Post: Tit for Tat
I Accuse Clucky of having Meddled with Carpino in the Sporting Event of Giolitti that occurred on the 30th of September. Since at the time the Bookie was reporting the amount of winnings, and based on the Odds at the time, it appears that Clucky placed 40 Readies on Micheli, which is substantial enough to me to indicate he was reasonably confident in the win. I suspect he colluded with someone else who also Meddled and ensured that the Grand Canal was the Devil, while Clucky increased the pocket of Carpino and then bet on his rival, knowing that the win condition would be reversed.
Of course, the opposite could have happened, which also begs the question: if someone uses “Meddling (Centofanti): Instead of being chosen at random, the Grand Canal is Devil.” then who is the Participant for whom the Meddling was applied? The rules require a Meddle to be “applying it to a specific Participant”.
Does this have to be a Story Post? I don’t think so, but I’ll do it anyway for consistency.
Josh: he/they
The investigators have swept the card room, examined the cards themselves under UV light and have extensively questioned the dealer, and have found no evidence that Clucky Meddled with this sporting event. JonathanDark is fined 10 Readies for wasting Bookkeeper resources.
