JMich: An admission of guilt?
No.

Krypsyn: Vote: yoglsloth

Vitek: Vote yogsloth for not voting.
Another btw: I am disappointed. Only missing JMich to complete my Fan Club's check-in procedure. We're not going to start the meeting until everybody checks in. Put the doughnuts back, please.

HypersomniacLive: Now that our mod has provided clarification in post #2, do you still stand by that?
As much as I ever did.

dedoporno: What is that supposed to mean?

QuadrAlien: ...it appears we have some unidentified life forms on board...

HypersomniacLive: @mod

"Och, tae hell wi' it!"

Is this Scottish? Can we have a translation, please? And could we stick to English? That's enough of a challenge for some of us.
*Returns to his laptop, from which eventually issues...

Oh, to hell with it!
...in a Scottish accent*

agentcarr16: ...then HSL will meet you in the scum thread tonight.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Is that where you'll be hanging out Tonight, and each Night after, before killing us one after another? I wonder if we should start with you.
*Fidgets nervously, uncomfortable with the attention*

avatar
Bookwyrm627: I can't say much, and you shouldn't say much to me in return, but I just had to comment on "...then HSL will meet you in the scum thread tonight."

That was pure freaking comedy gold. Just wanted you to know.

(we shouldn't speak much about the game because I'm on the replacement list)
*flashes a grin and a thumbs-up at the closed-circuit televisor camera, then returns to typing furiously on his laptop*
avatar
HypersomniacLive: That's a pretty firm statement. May I ask why you seem so certain?


Krypsyn isn't posting any youtube links - could this mean that he's town this game?
avatar
Krypsyn: No.
I'm guessing he either wanted to see who would be quick to latch onto his declaration that yog was scum, thereby having a likely excuse to build the train on yog? Or that he wanted to see who would pounce on him for taking us out of random vote casting with such a specious statement. The he in all those "hes" being Krysyn of course.

Here, I'll oblige one vote yogsoth



avatar
HypersomniacLive: So, do you think that the missing crew members are dead or not?
Interesting - it seems like you're trying to get at something here and I'm guessing you may or may not have information I don't that makes this important. I don't have anything to hide, but I also don't have anything concrete so my answer here is just my own thoughts based on reading the OP. Yes, I'm guessing that because Comms was bombed "they're dead Jim" - to steal another Star Trek reference.

Oh or do you mean the missing crew that were never actually missing? Clearly, we're dealing with brain slugs or replicants. Or The Thing. In any case, they're still dead.

By obliging you sneaked up a fourth vote without a reason? Seems legit.

I am 100% sure HSL may or may not have that information!

dedoporno: I am 100% sure HSL may or may not have that information!
That reminds me ...

Nope, false alarm.

"Och, tae hell wi' it!"

Is this Scottish? Can we have a translation, please? And could we stick to English? That's enough of a challenge for some of us.
It's a somewhat heavily accented "Oh, to hell with it!". Sorry about that - if I really wanted to confuse people, I'd have put it in Gaelic. :D
Good morning, afternoon, evening, whatever it is here, everyone. Sorry for last night, the stress of it all just got to me, is all. It won't happen again. I'm rested now. I can live on 8 hours of sleep a week and it feels like I rested better than I have in a long time. I think I might have had a breakthrough breakdown, if you know what I mean. Maybe you don't. Anyway, sorry for anything that was out of line, I know I don't know any of you and you're all on a clean slate with me. I hope you'll do the courtesy of providing me the same treatment. If not, well. Again, I'm sorry is all I can really say, there is no excuse for that sort of behavior and, well, as I said initially, it's best we all keep calm and don't jump to too much accusation before we get more of a hold on the situation.

If you'd all give me some minutes to catch up on what I missed while I was out-cold, I'll try and address anything you may regard me.

*wakes up a bit more and reads the data logs of the past however long*

Wow, I really did sleep a while. How refreshing!

So, I have to be honest, you'll have to bear with me, as, some of the dialects and lingo used by some of you on this Station is a bit confusing to me. This is why I got so frustrated last night and called some of you meatheads, things just weren't making sense.

I'll do my best to follow along and keep up. If I feel there are any crucial questions that need asked, I'll ask them, much like HSL, whose format for speaking I can clearly follow, and so I might have to rely on them or some others for guidance a little, if that is okay. I hope I don't seem too strange to any of you. I was raised on a moon-colony some ways away and just might go about things differently than some of you.

I didn't mean to make any assumptions on anyone's roles, either, all I meant was that I'm new here, and as such, I'll be more likely to defer to any of yours authority regardless of your actual designated position in the crew more-so than mine own, which, is certainly not anything special as far as I can tell. How could it be? Like I said, I was just assigned here. I feel like I should be making all of your meals or something like that.

I see that a good handful of you are being accusatory, I suppose that is only natural, and, I suppose we are going to have to choose someone for Q.U.A.D. to evaluate if he forces us to do so. I hope it comes back online soon (is that what Q.U.A.D. is called? an it? or should I call it a he?) I wish it were more responsive!!! Damned AIs, I swear to to the dust on the hill and the waters down below they get worse and worse every generation...

*sigh**breathe*

I hope IT has come to ITS senses at whatever point we hear from it, and this "execution" nonsense can be put to rest. We don't have to resort to anything so drastic, do we? I agree, we have to figure out who these intruders among us are, but, yeesh, ELIMINATION? Really? At least not so prematurely until we are certain who they are and what they want!

I don't want to upset the AI, as I'm sure it is listening and will hear me, but, it might be the real enemy, making us turn on ourselves. Who knows if this intruders are even real?! If someone does have some solid information to the contrary, we ALL need to hear it. After re-looking at the logs from earlier, I think I've determined a few things, and I'll share them with you. And, again, forgive me Q.U.A.D.for calling into question your mode of operations, if doing so gets me dead, that will perhaps be all the proof everyone here needs to know you are the true enemy. I simply call into question for my own sense of security, not as any judgement on you, and, if you are a properly functional AI, you should answer any questions honestly and logically, if you take it personally and react to it rashly, again, we might have an issue with your functionality, and we can help you with that if that is the case, please don't start over-reacting.

First, the big question everyone had on their minds, and, again, I might not take Q.U.A.D.'s word for truth, necessarily. Is the meaning of "Och, tae hell wi' it!" I think, given that it seems to be disregarding HSL's citing of the Laws of Robotics and ""Och, tae hell wi' it!" means something like "oh the hell with it!" which is an expression meaning "disregard any sense of order." in a sense.

I think this could mean that all we have here is just be a malfunction of the computer that has us locked in here at least, if not a bigger security issue on board the entire station due to its malfunction or related computer malfunctions. I say there is no way to tell if the reports of such bombings and supposed "lost crew members" are actually true before we have proof other than a report from a perhaps malfunctioning security system who thinks those things have happened or something similar.


I have to say I'm starting to agree with Carrion Crow. How has the computer failed to notice so many things? What is actually going on here is a real question we should all consider. Agentcarr16 seems to be causing some trouble as well,

If I had to cast a vote now, which I don't think I have to, I'd almost say

Vote QuadrAlien

What does everyone else think?

I like this guy. It's like having a conversation with a blender set to "purée".

Is there a TL;DR version? Cliff's Notes or similar?

QUDE is HAL. There are no aliens. I'm inclined to believe the AI is evil and part of the game in a larger sense. I could be wrong.

It is all fun and games until they start locking people into rooms, or, worse, outside the station. That is why it is always good practice to periodically query the AI about the Rules it is using. Don't even get me started about the buttbots... Wait, what game are we playing again?
