Uh-oh, sounds like another Night of the Long Knives is in the making... Watch out, Cap Mandrake! [X(]

Uh-oh, sounds like another Night of the Long Knives is in the making... Watch out, Cap Mandrake! [X(]

ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake

Without even a scintilla of conscious effort, a quite robust internal security apparatus has developed in the Mandrake household. Mandrake Jr. and Stalker Girl Jr. have a serious, mutual, ovarian repulsive force field going on. This goes back to when Stalker Gril Jr's. boyfriend erroneously accused Mandrake Jr's. female friend of stealing his Ipod and Mandrake Jr's. friend retaliated by hilariously calling Stalker Girl's boyfriend an "illegal alien" even though she is first generation Persian-American. [:D]

So, naturally, both of them started informing on the other when they tried to sneak over their boyfriends during the day. Meanwhile, the "Mayan" can't stand Stalker Girl Jr's boyfriend either. I think he must have some Aztec blood. So the "Mayan" starts informing on Stalker Girl Jr. and pretty soon, Stalker Girl Jr. is passing information to Haupsturmfurher Stalker Girl about the "Mayan" not working very hard during the day. All along, because I pay the bill, the "Mayan" has been informing on Mandrake Jr.. I think Mandrake Jr. figured this out because she is the one who told me the "Mayan" was watching telenovelas during the day.

Who is informing on me? I am pretty sure the guy with the $10,000 mailbox is informing on me to Sharfurher Braun.

So, anyway, here is the game theory angle. If they could all just keep their mouths shut, maximum benefit would acrue to all, but this requires trust and there is substantial benefit to informing (revenge and a possible lucrative post in the apparatus) so the most desired outcome is inherently unstable.

Here is a simplified line diagram

Holy Sh*t. Sounds complicated.

But nice flowchart. Flowcharts are the beginning of wisdom [:D]

I dunno. I suspect that the flowchart is in error; even in the Mandrake household I'd bet that OKW and Hauptsturmfuhrer Stalker Girl are one and the same. He's dreaming if he feels she must report through him to reach higher authority!

Which means that Mandrake, caught in the middle (instead of being on top looking down), will most likely end up just like the ham and cheese when a Pannini Sandwich is completed.

Still, we gotta like your take on where you felt you could position yourself in this :domestic dispute." Self-esteem is something we greatly value here in California...
