When delivering mixed messaging to your fellow gamers are you able to effectively communicate the positives and negatives of the situation?

The good newa is that while you tank was hit there was no penetration.

The bad news is that armor spalling killed all of the crew.

The good news is that our artillery completely destroyed the enemy's fort!
The bad news is that our forces had also just captured it and were all inside at the time.

"General Custer, I have good news and bad news."

"Give me the bad news first, then."

"Well, sir, we're surrounded by about 5,000 heavily armed hostile Sioux, who are moving into positions to attack."

"I see. So what's the good news?"

"We don't have to go back to North Dakota."

Message to the Chinese Commander, Chosin Reservoir, Korea, November 1950.

Messanger: "Honorable general, our recon report of the American positions has good news and bad news"

General: "What is the good news?"

Messanger: "The good news is we have the enemy surrounded and outnumbered 12-1, they are in -40 degree temperature and falling back to the coast and cut off from all supply routes".

General: "That's excellent comrade! What can the bad news be?"

Messanger: "Honorable General, the enemy is the 1st Marine Division and Chesty Puller is with them".

Sorry, I just could not resist that one.

I always liked the one sided ones …

The good news is they're going to name a new disease after you!

The good news is that a life sentence for molesting children isn't as long as you'd think…

The good new is the loan bookie can't take more money than you actually have.

The good news is your team's next season can't be any worse than this last one.

The good news is they'll be able to charge your assailant with murder, which has much stiffer penalties!

The good news is your nose was asymmetric, anyway…

WAIT

FOR

IT

The good news is your blind date is a wargamer!
