OKCINDR POST #3

Ever wanted to have CR with a character and wasn't sure how to get them to cross paths? Wanted a dating app so you can hook up with hot people? Wanted to just find friends because you're a lonely bastard?

With the update of the tablets and the apps, we now have a dating / friendship app called OKCINDR! Players can use it as they please for the two months that it's up -- just imagine that they're profiles to swipe right on and everything. The idea is to encourage CR that may be difficult to get with characters who may or may not be interested in events / posts / logs / other network posts.

So, on September 3rd, characters randomly look back at their tablets to see the following:

OKCINDR PROFILE RESET #3
PLEASE RESET PROFILE


This month, if players reset their profile, they will have a list of...questions...to answer:

What do you look for in a "relationship?"
Do you see through time?
When you stare into the void, is it the correct universe's infinite abyss that stares back?
Please define: existential crisis
How do you justify the color pink?
Does the data not corrupt exquisitely
Do do do does does does ththth e
Does the
Does the
Dies
data
done one one zero one


Additionally, this month, misfires on the meme are much more likely, whether it's a character who wouldn't post their own profile, or comments on other top levels.

Players, of course, are able to ignore this message. However, if a character wouldn't fill it out but a player would like to participate... the profile mysteriously resets itself. There may even be responses sent from Character A to Character B without Character A actually doing anything, if you'd like! This is a completely opt-in scenario! But for players who would like to participate fill out the post:

network profile
Character_Name
@username
ABOUT_ME




If you'd like to for shits and giggles, here's some notifications that may be used:

Name (@username) followed you




Name (@username) unfollowed you




Name (@username) blocked you




Have fun! Code credit.

My meaning was figurative.

On a new world, many of us are still learning to adjust to technological differences, I imagine. Especially with the world itself changing irregularly. However, if there's anything I can assist you in understanding better, I would be happy to help.

Why?

We do not know each other.

[personal profile] sinningtree 2024-09-04 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps not, but I believe the more we work together, the better our chances as a community.

[personal profile] nilhilistic 2024-09-04 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
That logic holds true.

Though I wonder how much of a community we truly are.

If we aren't one yet, we simply start to build one now.

[ hm. he likes this confidence. ]

How would we do that?
sinningtree: (W - YYH037_8071)

[personal profile] sinningtree 2024-09-10 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
By helping each other.

Teaching what we know to others, honing new and older skills, alike. Approaching challenges as a united front whenever possible will certainly give us a leg up. If the Chosen work together we have a better chance against whatever is happening here. Perhaps even a way to fix it.

You have very high hopes for the people here.

Yes, well, I have averted apocalypse on multiple occasions. I suppose that simply comes with the territory.

What is applicable in one world may not apply to the next.

Perhaps, but all rewards worth having come with a risk. We will not know until we try.
nilhilistic: (02)

[personal profile] nilhilistic 2024-09-10 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
While I'm not against unknown risks, I would like to know more before we risk anything.

That is precisley where working together and gathering intel comes in. Getting to know others will be the best way to learn who we can trust, from there it is simply a matter of figuring out how best to utilize the skills of the group to enhance our chances of survival.

These people blow up buildings when left unchecked.

I think we may need more than that.
sinningtree: (G - YYH083_17586)

[personal profile] sinningtree 2024-09-14 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, well, that is also true.

Part of building a community that works together is identifying those strengths and weaknesses, to figure out who needs to be kept in check under which circumstances.

There is a bit of an honor system involved, I admit, but continuing to distrust others and not at least try to form any sort of connection leaves us with far more wildcards in our midst.

[ hm. ]

I don't trust easily. Even if I see the merit of teamwork.

[personal profile] sinningtree 2024-09-15 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Teamwork even without trust may have its merits. You may even find someone you can learn to trust with time.

Learning to trust can certainly be an uphill battle and not everyone is worthy of being trusted, but I have found it worth the reward. Perhaps you will feel otherwise, but having spent a thousand years in solitude, I do not wish to return to that mindset ever again.

I have spent a thousand years alone in a silent world.

I am still not inclined to trust.

[personal profile] sinningtree 2024-09-15 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
centuries of solitude does not exactly lend itself to trusting easily, does it?

Ending my isolation was not a choice I made, but a necessity forced on me to ensure my survival. It was the people who later came to care about me that changed my mind.

Not that I am suggesting it will also for certain happen with you, but perhaps with time. Although it is never too late, should you find yourself open to it, we all must travel our own path.

My trust issues have nothing to do with my solitude. It was my atonement.

I needed a thousand years to bring my sister back to life.
