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

What do you mean by results?

They had to have a reason for picking us to be here, right? They're watching what we do—so maybe if someone's not "partaking" or whatever, they're considering it a lack of cooperation or something.

[alvin shrugs.] I don't trust this "staff" enough to think that there's not a loaded number of reasons why we're stuck in this situation. But I sure as hell don't buy that we're here because we willingly agreed to it, either.

So you think Charles and Rayfa were selected because of lacking cooperation? Might be possible. I guess it comes down to what the motives of the staff are. I can't imagine someone would just willfully kill a couple random strangers unless they had a motive for it.

[betraitor]

It's an idea. Not sure if it's a totally sellable ideal, but I've worked for some people that wouldn't have any qualms with killing someone that outlived their usefulness.

We don't know what the staff is all about, or what their motives are—it's just as much of a guessing game as anything else, so we're just gonna have to throw ideas at the wall until something sticks or someone slips up.
