Alpha Team Memo & Beta Team (!?) Memo

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.

and fokuz on important zhit inztead
zhit eighiz arent you zupozed to be the leader or zomething
kalm your rumble zpherez

It's not caliginous if I want to gut her like the seadweller she acts like.
No, I'm not supposed to be the leader, I'm supposed to be Arinna's second-in-command.
And no, I will not calm my damned rumble spheres.
She ordered all of you to die.
She actually thought she had the right to order all of you to die.
That is something I will not forgive.

yeah wel with arina gone
that prety much makez you the leader
zo kalm down
ztop making a fool out of yourzelf
and fukcing akt like it

... You have no idea. But if there is anything you hate it's admitting defeat.

{ I wIll keep tellIng you to stop untIl you all see reason }

hahahahaha
good lukc with that

{ I wIll not thank you }
{ because you are beIng facetIous }

maybe i am
maybe im not

And what precisely do you even intend to do?

{ keep sayIng It untIl you lIsten }

I'm sure you already realize that will accomplish nothing.
You have been met with rejection from all sides.
And you have already seen how stubborn I can be.
Give it up.
You're only wasting our time and yours.

{ then I wIll waste as much of your tIme as I can }
{ because you should know }
{ I am just as stubborn }
{ I told my team that I wIll protect them and I do not take that responsIbIlIty lIghtly }

You know, I do have an obvious solution to that.
Ignoring this window.

So you take your own advice. You ignore the memo. You even bring up a pdf on the subject of the oft-ignored non-poisonous eight-legged skitterbeasts for to cover the memo up.

Then you shove your husktop aside and scream your goddamned airsacks out.

hey eighiz
are you zkreaming
that zeemz like zomething youd do
when youre realy angry
am i right or what

Your husktop has been pushed far enough away and is turned at such an angle that you don't see the Trollian window flash. Your husktop volume is so low and your screaming is so loud that you don't hear the pings as Mandya tries to message you.

You don't notice. So you don't answer.

eighiz
kome on
dont ignore me
kant you ztop zkreaming for a zekond
and talk to me
though
i guez i dont realy know if thatz what youre doing right now
