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

I think number one is flawed. It seems implied that we have multiple staff members. Unless all of the staff members are young and frail, it feels too hasty to make a judgment off only two bodies.

Number two might be a better route, though I kinda hate to admit it since I'd probably be on a shortlist of tinkerers. It'd be a more secure route if we knew why they prioritize the monitors, but that's something we can only speculate on.

Looking at the people who pushed Diva's execution also sounds good to me, perhaps as a starting point if nothing else.

Oh, sorry - I just meant, whoever killed this time or last time! We can focus on trying to find this killer based on what the choice of victim might mean, or we can try and focus on other ways of picking a staff member.

[Alice shrugs. There's not really any way for them to know until they get the results of the vote, is there...]

So either two or three, then? We can start with whichever option gets the most support and work from there.

[heroizes]

Yeah, another tinkerer here, and-- And I mean, not saying that isn't a super viable theory but also asking we, uh, shelve that on until we know more, maybe? Since, hell, we don't even know for sure that's what they're doing.

I admit to being biased here, but if we're considering option two — we should also consider that some may not be disclosing their full list of skills. Rhys, Jack and I may not be the only ones with that type of knowledge here.

[She'd rather not die purposely, but that said...]

I won't stop anyone if they wish to go with that theory, however. It is a plausible lead, after all... And we have nothing but our word to defend ourselves.

[tearable]

Is that probable? [ Oops, this is a good question. ] We ourselves didn't fill out our skillset... I definitely wouldn't have mentioned something so oddly placed.

[injectors]

It's not improbable, if that is what you're asking. We don't know who completed the information in our profiles. If it was a member of the staff, or even Judy herself, something could have been omitted to benefit their side.

[tearable]

[ UGH. Why the hell are these profiles half serious and half shitposty? Let us live? ]

I suppose the staff could skew the results if they had access. Judy's mentions of paperwork the other day implied she looked everything over and dotted the eyes. Also could have changed it, you're right.

[ This doesn't..help any cause. ]
