How to Catch a Gamma SF or NT

[Adam Strange]

LIE: help them win but appear in awe of their success

This is embarrassingly true.

ILI: adore their intelligence

This is obviously true.

ESI: give them what they want and overlook their selfishness

I was telling someone the other day that in every communication I've had with ESIs, they seem to be coming from a place deep inside themselves, as if they are shouting from a hole and can't see that other people might not see what they see.

SEE: give them free rein but leave the door open


a.k.a. I/O

What does "leave the door open" mean?
