WARDED TO JADE

Here's the plan.

We find ourselves two allies on the Bella Casino and Bella Thief teams. We'll call them Beauty and The Beast, respectively. So long as we throw our own Casino team to the proverbial wolves, it's possibly for me and our new allies all to win.

First off, we let them rob our Casino. You have access to our codes, and our team has no reason to distrust us, so this should be easy enough.

Secondly, we enlist their help robbing the Palace. This will be a little more complicated, and require some subterfuge, but I believe in us.

To rob the Palace, we'll need a contact on their thief team. I'll call this person Le Fou. We'll tell Le Fou that we're double-dealing and have a contact in The Bella who trusts us. We'll need Beauty to give us two matching codes for their vault, or if Le Fou has one of the codes they need already, just the matching one.

As a show of good faith, we let them validate the key. Then they know our information is good. Now they trust us. We tell them we'll keep feeding them codes for the Bella, if they can provide codes for the Palace in return. We'll make it out to be a thieves' coalition.

After we get the first key, we give them the second key for the Bella. We should also make them fund the keys - send us sixty credits. That'll put their team down financially, so they can't buy the last one. Then, we make them go first for the last key exchange, to prove their good faith.

Once we have all three keys for the Palace, we tell the Bella to proceed with the heist on the Flamingo. The game will end before the Palace thieves even know they've been betrayed, and we make out like bandits.

Of course, the way things are currently going, we could probably bunk off and your team would still win. It'd be a lot less work. I'll be perfectly happy either way, so I leave the decision to you.

I've told you I love you lately, haven't I?
Of course I want to do this.My only team is with you. I'm working on Essie to try to see where she falls. I bet she'd help. Who else?

I think you've mentioned it once or twice.

Lucas works for the Palace, doesn't he? Do you think he'd ever forgive us?

Well I do. And I think so. He'll get over it.

I'll see who else I can snag. There's actually no reason we shouldn't tell the entire Bella team the plan. Or at least as many as we think are trustworthy. It'll make the machinations a little easier.

It would. Unless some of them have the same idea and decide to double-cross us. I don't know anyone else who works for the Bella. Do you?

Edited 2018-05-29 02:16 (UTC)

I don't. And they'd have no reason to double-cross us if they want to win. We're giving them better terms than we're giving ourselves.

Hmm. Well. As long as we find one willing to trust us, we'll find them all in time enough.
That's true. If they went ahead with the Flamingo heist ahead of time or warned the Palace to burn their codes, they wouldn't win anything better.

We'll do it.

All we need is a list of names.

[later!]
Which is harder than it sounds. Everyone’s so stingy today.
