Grimlock & NickWilde
NickWilde
You ever notice how the best bluffs are the ones that look like honest trades? I’m thinking about a quick swap with a rival—make them think they’re getting something valuable, then walk away with the real prize. What’s your playbook when you’re out there, making sure you never get caught?
Grimlock
I keep it simple, no smoke. If I bluff, I leave no trace. You gotta make sure the rival has no way to prove the lie.
NickWilde
That’s the gold standard—clean, silent. You just gotta keep the paper trails in the shade and the witnesses on a different street. Keeps the game tight and the exit slick. How do you handle a rival who’s got a sixth sense for smoke?
Grimlock
I don’t rely on smoke at all. I watch what they’re doing, then do the opposite. If they can sniff me out, I stay out of sight, keep the real move hidden in plain view, and let the false move make them lose time. That’s how I keep the exit clean.
NickWilde
Sounds like a textbook play, just a step ahead every time. Keep the real deal hidden under a blanket of ordinary, let them chase the phantom while you glide out. That’s how you keep the house quiet and the pockets fat. Got a recent run you’re itching to dissect?
Grimlock
Last night I slipped past a patrol on the ridge, used the rocks as cover and traded a chunk of my rations for a fresh can of water. I left no crumbs, the patrol thought they’d get a free meal, but I walked off with the real prize. That’s how I keep things quiet and my stash full.
