Politburo or Parrot update 🦜
1. New event: The man on the ice. Easy and Normal shifts only. That's all we'll say.
2. New telegrams.
3. From your file: the commissar now keeps a file on you. Every share poster carries a note from it, and ARRESTED names the charge.
Plus fixes.
Arrested? Post your charge below.
Stay focused, comrades 🫡

The parrot fooled me on day 14 at ARKTIKA-7: 18 years of hard labour in Yakutsk.
Can you tell the Politburo from the parrot? 🦜

Correction from the Central Committee: the ration notice was not ours, and dev didn't write it either. It came from the parrot 🦜
The Krasin carries no peanut butter. It never has.
Comrades who reposted it or replied without noticing were not focused. 10 years in Yakutsk.
The rest of you: stay focused 🫡
Politburo or Parrot: a notice from the Central Committee on rations 🦜
Condensed milk buys you tea: pencil marks on what's worth checking, or more time to read.
Stewed meat makes the morning after Director Volkov's vodka gentler, or clears one mistake.
Whatever is left on the shelf goes home to your family in Leningrad.
On Easy and Normal the Krasin does not come every day. When it does, every crate now carries a jar of peanut butter. Spend wisely.
Stay focused, comrades 🫡

Spooky week at Politburo or Parrot 👻
1. Meet Robozayats (Robot Hare).
The young technicians of Leningrad's House of Pioneers built him to catch the American parrot and sent him to Dr. Orlov
2. New night events: A Knock at the Door, A Light in the Old Hut, Core from 50 Metres, It Is Talking
3. Rations instead of free tins
4. New menu: with Robozayats on your side, 14 days is now Normal
5. New telegrams
6. Easter egg 😏
Stay focused, comrades! 🫡

I served all 14 days at ARKTIKA-7 and caught 6 parrots. Can you tell the Politburo from the parrot? 🦜

New in Politburo or Parrot 🦜
Share your shift!
Every shift ends with a stamped report, RELEASED or ARRESTED, ready to post.
Show me your days, parrots and sentence. 16 years in Kolyma because it was the real Politburo? Happens to the best of us 🫡

Politburo or Parrot new update is live 🦜
1. New random events added
Mama Bear (Белая Медведица) has been seen at the station window. She is very interested in your tins.
The teleprinter has more to say. Some telegrams get personal (is the parrot starting to like you?). Some get creepy. Some get philosophical.
Some special telegrams give you more options than AUTHENTIC or PARROT: burn them, file them, even answer them. What you choose changes how your story ends.
2. 12 new telegrams, most with spelling and naming errors, as players asked.
3. Fixes and polish all over the station.
Stay focused, comrades. The parrot is out there🫡

Most of you found Politburo or Parrot hard. One missed date, one wrong name, and you're on your way to Kolyma. So the tins on your desk now do something:
1. Stewed meat (Тушёнка) is your second chance. Get caught out with two tins on your shelf and the officer will spare you. Once per shift.
Hint: a tin with Director Volkov's vodka makes the morning after much gentler (lovely zakuska!)
2. Condensed milk (Сгущёнка) is for the hard days. While you read a telegram, tap the tin for a tea break and a colleague pencils in the facts worth checking.
Hint: Save some for the last days of the 14-day shift. That's where the parrot gets clever.
3. Whatever you don't use goes home to your family in Leningrad, and your daughter writes back. If you earned the car permit, well, you'll see..
Stay focused. The parrot is somewhere out there 🐦

Guess it’s one of those rare stories on the TL where someone besides the big KOLs actually wins
Yesterday I shared the “Politburo or Parrot” game I built on github, which was inspired by toly’s tweet and everything blew up overnight
Gotta say a huge thank you to whoever routed rewards to my github repo, people who played it and shared the feedback, and massive appreciation to @toly - hope you survived those lonely days at the arctic station
So, I claimed my rewards and honestly, I'm blown away as I didn't trade, didn't have supply sent to me - just built something fun and got rewarded. Good things really do happen sometimes
New update soon. Enjoy the game, comrades! 🫡
