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.

Terrible yes I would hate to have that responsibility
I have an awful public presence

That makes two of us.

The responsibility is... rough, I won't lie. But I feel like I've been able to help some of the people I work with a little, so it's not all bad.

Kind of you
I would not know what to do with myself
Charisma has never been something I have kept stock of and it is somewhat required for management

Perhaps you could manage a work for hire establishment here if you are keen on the helping others aspect

[If charisma is something necessary for management, maybe they've been getting by on pure luck.]

That's... actually a good idea.

[Better than they had, anyway. one-man doordash/clockdash probably wouldn't last too long.]

Maybe once things calm down, I'll see if anyone's interested.

A professional middle man would likely have a less grueling time than a manager

[Goal: do as little crummy public work as possible, get to the good part. He's unbiased about this of course.]

The way this world is anachronistic to itself I am sure many people are confused about what work to pursue

I noticed that too. It's like someone took a whole bunch of districts from back home and mixed them together.

Then again, we're all pulled from different worlds ourselves, so a mixed-up place like this makes a little sense.

Does it
I am not sure
It seems all rather haphazard
For example nothing here is a one to one match to what I would expect in my home city
But I am somewhat anachronistic myself

Regardless I do not think it was on purpose
followyourstar: (02)

[personal profile] followyourstar 2024-09-17 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not. Even in a city as small as this, I'd expect thing to be more... organized(?) if it was on purpose.

I'll pick it up as I go. That's how these things usually work out in my experience.

That would make more sense yes
I imagine the AI entity is unaware of how to
design
I suppose you could call it

So it's like a kid putting things wherever there's room?

In a sense yes it is that level of apparently random
If there is a deeper meaning to it then it is alien to me
