TWG CLXVIII: Capitalism [Game Thread]

[Starbucks]

I looked at the wagons last night -- in particular, votes that were on neither Toyota or UPS. In particular, I looked at the Facebook wagon ----

Amazon, Walmart, and China Mobile.

Amazon I suspect is town because of the Amazon-UPS connection others have brought up. Walmart flipped acq., which for all intents and purposes is town on D0. I decided to look into China Mobile.

They have only 10 posts, but those posts are rather dense.

For reference, here is the timeline:

I can help prod UPS with you but it's not really going to do anything till EOD anyway. Who else is on your radar?

UPS now has three votes.

I think Facebook needs more pressure right now. None of his posts have been worth shit.


Facebook is completely understandable to me, see above. How are you viewing Facebook right now? Throwing UPS to the bottom is probably more related to inactivity than anything else, but yeah.


Here is a current read list from our task force:
+: Apple, Walmart, Starbucks
[Visa]
0: IBM, Alibaba, McDonalds, Shell, Verizon, Marlboro, Disney, GE, Wells Fargo, Google
[UPS, Microsoft, Amazon]
-: Facebook, Toyota

Cheers GE, I hope I get placed on your list for putting everyone too!

This reads to me as somebody who initially wanted to prod a wolf partner into engaging with the thread, and then as EOD approached and UPS was becoming a serious wagon, switched to another wagon to save their partner.

The question is "why not move to Toyota?" but I'll see what your thoughts are
