trial #2

[judgejudy]

DAY 4 (afternoon) Complex Population: 32 At noon, the same tone from the morning rings out, and Judy's voice filters out over the intercom. "Good afternoon, residents. As per Safety Protocol 6227-A, it is time to conduct a trial to bring justice for the victim. Please proceed to the courtroom on the first level." Just as at night, if you don't go to the courtroom, you'll be treated to an electric shock of increasing strength until you go to the courtroom or are unconscious. Though considering the ominous penalty for not participating in a trial, you should likely just go rather than risk not voting because you've been knocked out by your own stubbornness... Once you're in the courtroom, you'll find that bottled water and light snacks are provided, but otherwise you'll have to bring anything else you may need. As you come to your conclusions about who to vote for, you can step into the judgement theater to cast your vote at the terminal. You may change your vote as many times as you'd like, but at 7PM, your vote (or lack thereof) is locked in. You have until 7PM to discuss and vote for who you think the murderer is. — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles Voting will close at 9PM EST on 10/15. voting

[ He sure seems a lot more stupid when Adam isn't focusing on the robot. ]

I think that'd be the first type of person we'd look for. Isn't that why everyone was so keen on executing Diva? Because she admitted to killing before?

If they were smart, they'd try to hide their sadistic behavior.

[jackhole]

[ look, he has his moments but generally, this is what you get, adam. ]

You think a person can hide sadism? Seems kind of, uh, contrary.

[antietam]

Well, if they can't... [ A glance to the girls who are advocating for torture?? ]

But I'd like to think they're smarter than that. Wouldn't they take on a kinder persona to throw us off?

[jackhole]

[ rubbing his face a little ]

So, we're looking for a bunch of secret sadists with one nice person hidden among them? Who's even that nice here? I mean, you're kind of nice but then that means this whole conversation is way more fucked up.

[antietam]

There are a lot of nice people here. [ Adam doesn't think he's one of them. He just frowns at Rhys' implication. ]

All I'm saying is that personality traits probably aren't going to help us out when anyone could be acting. But, you know, the people who are murderers and otherwise advocate for torture shouldn't be let off the hook either.

[jackhole]

Uh, not really.

[ mr i-hate-everyone always has to be contrary ]

-- Wait, so, the teen torture girls are maybe staff now? For going yay torture?

[liven]

That or he's suggesting we're better to vote for since we don't act "nice", if we can't figure out who is Staff.

[selfsufficiency]

...which would be pretty dumb, if you ask me. If you take out all the people who are willing to fight, then you leave yourselves defenseless. ♡

[liven]

Either way, I doubt everyone acting nice is actually nice.

[jackhole]

Oh, so it's back to kill all the assholes then, I guess.

[ he doesn't approve ]

[antietam]

Have people been rude to you? [ Everyone's a lot nicer than people in Henrietta lbr. ]

No, I wasn't suggesting that. But it's not like we should be alright with those types of things or encourage them. We're trying to avoid murder here.

[jackhole]

Uh, all the time? People are rude to me all the time.

[ rhys, you sort of bring it upon yourself. ]

Okay, so. What... do we do? Separate the "good" guys and the "bad" guys or something? This is getting very, err, subjective.

[antietam]

Really. [ He seems to definitely be thinking the problem is with Rhys. ]

I don't think it's that subjective. But no, I'm not calling for anything like that. All I'm saying is we shouldn't approve of things like torture. Simple as that.
