[acuminous]

acuminousInnovator [IM] at ?:?? opened memo on board ( teamProgress1 )

AI: { I trust that entry Into the game Is goIng well }
AI: { not to be overbearIng but I would lIke to hear the status of all trolls who are partakIng In the game }
AI: { so that we are on the same page }
AI: { I told you all earlIer but I wIll repeat myself because It Is Important }
AI: { we must adhere to the schedule laId out prevIously }
AI: { If we were to skIp someone or not complete the chaIn }
AI: { It would not end very well }
AI: { so please be prompt and alert me to your status as soon as Is possIble }


Well! You think that was a pretty succinct and leader-ly memo. Good job you! Now, time to get down to some real business. You have been meaning to do this ever since Kaprao told you about these "other players" but with meteors, then entering the game, then basic questing... Well, let's just say it's hard being such a busy troll!

But now the issue has your undivided attention. With a bit of fancy coding you create a new memo board. This one is open to all trolls who have SCRIB installed on their hard drive. Next, you eliminate the computers that bear the Troll IP addresses of your teammates, and... It's done! Six handles, huh? You can already feel your green blood start to bubble in anticipation.

{ fIne then I wIll put my hope }
{ that they are not all collectIvely Insane }
{ and Instead are actually from another planet lIke they claIm }
{ although I cannot belIeve I am sayIng that }
{ It Is better than the alternatIve }
{ hypothetIcally if the sessIon was started In an entIrely separate space }
{ then perhaps it wIll create their own sessIon }
{ ugh why am I even talkIng about thIs to you }

[polygraphing]

wait

that your game kan zave a bunch of alienz
but not any more of uz on good ol alternia
what the fukc

[acuminous]

{ as I have saId repeatedly }
{ nIne }
{ If they try to save ten }
{ then they are just as fucked as we are rIght now }
{ but as I saId }
{ hypothetIcally }
{ If theIr own sessIon is created than It would be stable }
{ and that Is a long fuckIng shot on Its own }
{ but I would rather hope that there is some chance for us }
{ so there you have It }

[polygraphing]

[acuminous]

{ and the only way they can all thInk to save themselves Is to destroy the hope of others }
{ you do realIze }
{ that If you all play that Is what you are doIng }
{ }


{ if i could save you all i would }

what do you expekt uz to do
juzt rol over and die
i mean ok that might work on me
but everyone elze
no way
theyre juzt not gona give up
and nothing you zay wil ztop them

[acuminous]

Now you feel like crap. But you keep telling yourself, someone needs to be the leader. Otherwise everyone is going to die, so this is no time to start doubting yourself.

{ I do not know }
{ perhaps I wIll try to thInk of alternatIves as I bother them }
{ somethIng else that you all could do to survIve }
{ but I wIll keep tryIng }
{ }
{ thank you at least }
{ for understandIng my IntentIons }

[polygraphing]
