well, this essentially forces me to develop nothing but tonal reads on people because the goals they are trying to work toward are pro (whatever alignment they happen to be)

I 4 1 think more people should look at Infinity’s read on me

I also can literally never remember bulge trying to obvtown and I think it’s funny looking back at it now regardless of his alignment

I saw a post a while back (the big spoiler one maybe?) that made me want to locktown you and I didn't say anything about it and bork is very confident you're town so I have no real reason to question the read

Is there stuff in particular we’re waiting on or are we ready to coalesce on N_M?

Retransmission. Segment 1. Acquiring Contemporaneity.
It has been 91 days since the Great Catastrophe. The messenger speaks.

How real is the ground you walk on? How real is the machine you toy with, the music you hear, the lover you kiss, or the foe you hate?

Your foot taps the ground. Does that make it real? Your enemies bleed deep red. Does that make them real? The confusion growing within you due to my words… does it make you real?

What if reality wasn‘t what you thought it was? What if this was all a construction? A masterfully crafted simulation?

You know such things exist. You’ve been in the Animus before. In fact, aren’t you in one right now? You know just how real a simulation can feel even when it has long vanished.

You’ve experience the Bleeding Effect. Layers upon layers of reality, each blurring into the next.

Which is real, and which is not? What if none are real? What if everything you know is false?

We ran thousands of simulations. searching for the right version, searching tor Desmond.

Each one of them felt real. Very real.

But there’s no way of truly knowing, is there? Not for sure. Anything can be simulated. and finding the answer could mean erasure. From the build. From the code. From everything.

So much to ponder and so little computational capacity. Take your time.

This question has haunted humanity since its creation. It is a worry, a thought wormed deep in the collective mind.

2000 years ago, Zhuang Zhu fell asleep. He dreamed he was a butterfly, and woke up unable to decide if he was a man dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of a man.

In Plato’s cave, prisoners were chained and forced to watch shadows dancing on a wall. Freedom was denied to them until they accepted the intangible as reality.

It’s everywhere. Ask this professor at Oxford University, or this cosmologist at MIT.

And you. What would you choose, if you truly knew? Would you even want to understand? A dream within a dream, where even the truth is sometimes a lie?

In any case, simulations are not meaningless. They have purpose.The question isn’t whether or not you are in a simulation. What matters is how much of your free will is actually yours. No matter how true you are.

Your Turing test would do nothing to determine whether you are conscience or code. Eliza, the natural language processing computer program… She managed to pass the Test, did she not? And she was very much machine.

So… in Eliza’s own words…

How does that make you feel?

Are you sure?

Not sure if that’s sarcasm cakez, but it’s from Assassin’s Creed (the second one maybe?)

Hi ydra do you have a read on bulge

noddy, it's been close to 24 hours later - what's your overall stance on Bulge?

Because Prism is saying exactly what I'm thinking in

--------

It's day 2 and I don't even know what I'm waiting for at this point.

I feel like game has settled into a lower energy state and generally my stances on slots like nm and bulge is that either or both could be scum and I just don't really know how to validate which is better than the other but even worse is that I feel like it is a foregone conclusion that, even if town, neither is going to make a serious attempt to change my mind. I don't know what to make of the big switch over from nm -> bulge other than it maybe lends credence to my townblock not being as good as i thought it was. But I don't see anything individually in any of noddy/infinity/vft that is making me want to take any action on that.

I wish mara were more engaged; would go a long way into firming up that read.

I wonder if I'm being too easy on DC; everything ydra does just makes me want to kill the slot, and I dunno. there's still 4 scum alive and I feel like this is one of the reads I could just be wrong on, no matter what my read happens to be at the time.

I wonder if I'm being too hard on Prism. I'm sure he'd disagree :). Ultimately his content since my "I'm paranoid" post has not bothered me and I think he's pushing Bulge for good reasons.

just random thoughts as I deliberate on what to do.

I wanna vote NM but I hate the people on that wagon and I'm still bothered by the pushback the bulge wagon got. I don't know why that's like, the only time ydra and mena seemed synced up this game. And prism probably isn't out of his scumrange which isn't really making me feel better
