[ wrath...... ]

... Maybe. It's not like we're displaying these traits constantly, so... maybe.

[dotcom]

It may not be anything too deep, honestly. They could have just shoved us into groups without thinking.

[aubins]

Could be. [ but the food slut is in gluttony? ]

We can ask, if we find anyone who knows what's going on. There's got to be more detail to it than what was provided.

[dotcom]

Basically. Especially since what we might count as indulging may not be something that they do.

[aubins]

Unless the guidelines are super strict, we can bend them.

[dotcom]

I'm sure there will have to be a point that they won't accept. Why reward someone who is barely trying?

[aubins]

Sure, to a point. Lying down and taking a nap if you're Sloth is probably a little too easy.

[dotcom]

There would have to be more involved, yeah.

[ he's

frowning ]

[aubins]

Penalising someone for doing what fits their assigned group, just for being "too simple" is a bit picky though. Maybe they'll just be stricter about how often you do it, rather than what you do?

[dotcom]

Possibly.

I'm just not a fan of the general vagueness considering the stakes.

[aubins]

Then we have to un-vague it. It's as simple as that.

[ he'll figure it out, if he has to. ]

[dotcom]

Right... we'll just have to keep looking into things and see what everyone uncovers.

[aubins]

Pooling resources is fairly efficient. To a point. But when that's all we have to go off of... I'd agree with you.

[dotcom]

It's just figuring out what you can share that won't end up harming your personal chances.

[ says sasazuka who never shares but that's not the point here ]

[aubins]

[ imagine sharing things. hilarious. ]

As it is with everything.

If this is a tournament of sorts, they've kept pretty quiet about it. But it's fair to assume there's going to be some level of pitting us against each other.

[dotcom]

Probably. Especially if death can be involved somehow.

[ he is not too Thrilled with how certain thing were worded in the document, but it's cool. it's fine. ]

[aubins]

Death can be involved anywhere if someone tries hard enough.

[ and that's the part that sucks! ]

[dotcom]

That's true, but there's a stark difference depending on whether or not it's actually allowed. A possible competition that encourages death would not be the same experience as one that forbids it, but it occurs anyway.

[ one is more likely to have a higher body count ]

But we'll just have to be prepared for what might be thrown at us.

[aubins]

Whether or not death is allowed matters to a startlingly low number of people, when you look at things very bleakly.

[ imagine being in a world that doesn't have laws against killing. wowie. ]

But specifying it as a way of indulging would definitely see the chance of it happening increase. A lot. Even if they don't, someone here is likely hiding a more blood-thirsty side to themselves that could come out the longer we're here.

[ ... ] Although-- [ hold on he's bringing up the welcome document. it takes about as long as you'd expect from a ye olde with a phone. ] " Surely there is a proper format for finding someone accountable for their crimes."

... sounds like if it does happen, it won't go unnoticed by the people in charge. Or unpunished. Presumably.

[dotcom]

It talks about allowing people who wants justice to seek it.

[ his expression turns thoughtful. ]

I wonder what exactly does that mean in this context...?

[aubins]

The context is the important part. Justice is subjective -- what counts as justice to one man could be villainy to another, after all.

[dotcom]

[ i just almost banned you while trying to reply ]

No two people share the same exact morals, so it's impossible to have just a general definition of the word justice. You'll never have people agree on the finer details of it.

[ ... ]

Which may be a topic that comes up here, if someone does kill to indulge.

[aubins]

[ i see how it is francy 😔 ]

Some might argue it was necessary, as we're all here for a personal goal. And presumably if we're willing to put ourselves in an unknown situation like this, it's something that matters to us deeply.

[ ... ] I'm more interested on how they'd plan to pass whatever counts as justice here. If it comes to that. Do you pay death with more death? Or do you remove them from this game altogether and deny them what they want?

[dotcom]

Then, I guess from there it depends on if you can still get what you want even if you die. Depending on what it is that you want.

[ there's a pause. ]

So, I guess in that case, it'll be if killing is worth dying for, or if it's worth losing your possible reward if you get disqualified...

[aubins]

There's a whole lot of maybes in this. For now, keeping on your toes and paying attention sounds like the more productive thing to do.

... I'll be honest, if someone does decide killing is their preferred form of indulgence, it'll happen sooner than we'd like.
