OKCINDR POST #4

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 November 3rd, characters randomly look back at their tablets to see the following:

OKCINDR PROFILE RESET #4
PLEASE RESET PROFILE


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

What is forgiveness?
Can a criminal ever really be forgiven?
should you be forgiven?
Is a crime ever justified?
How do you justify your crime?
Can you forgive someone who's wronged you?


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.

It has been resilient so far
We are the latest in a series of cycles
Not sure how many
However in our group several have been here over a year

[personal profile] cactusy 2024-11-03 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
you realize that anyone can say that whether it's true or not, right
manifestering: (003)

[personal profile] manifestering 2024-11-03 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes I am aware of the existence of lying
However
Uncertain whether everyone claiming to be here that long is a liar
Statistically unlikely
cactusy: (you're not supposed to light dynamite)

[personal profile] cactusy 2024-11-03 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
it's not if that's what they were programmed to do
manifestering: (007)

[personal profile] manifestering 2024-11-03 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Generally I also assume those claiming to be Chosen are in fact free thinking
I would not know how to tell otherwise
cactusy: (sure‚ that may as well happen)

[personal profile] cactusy 2024-11-03 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
that's the point, we can't really tell

I know I'm sentient. but I don't have any real clue about anyone else
manifestering: (012)

[personal profile] manifestering 2024-11-03 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I could say the same
But I would like to believe you and others are being forthcoming
So
cactusy: (I'm waiting for someone)

[personal profile] cactusy 2024-11-03 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
you and me both

you don't ever wonder, though?
manifestering: (009)

[personal profile] manifestering 2024-11-03 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I might if I had something to worry about regarding the answer
But I am already dead
So not often no
cactusy: (sure‚ that may as well happen)

[personal profile] cactusy 2024-11-03 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I like the way you think, Octavius

[And she really does mean that. It's similar to her own way of thinking, in many respects: this particular topic may be a source of exhausting, unwanted angst in her, but in most situations, Why bother wasting the time worrying about something I can't control or change? is a Sameen Shaw staple.]

Thank you
If it worries you there are plenty of schools of thought around to adopt
From killing others indiscriminately to pretending the locals are the same as us
If you enjoy extremes
cactusy: (I'd tuck you in‚ but you're dead)

[personal profile] cactusy 2024-11-04 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
are the locals definitely fake?
manifestering: (012)

[personal profile] manifestering 2024-11-04 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
With complete certainty
?

I do not know
There is a chance they were once like us and corrupted
According to the entity previously in control that has happened
To other cities that is
So
Who can say if these neighbors were made for us or were once us
cactusy: (she's 85% of my impulse control)

[personal profile] cactusy 2024-11-04 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cool, a horrifying answer! And yet reassuring in its honesty.]

any chance we know anything about the state they're keeping our bodies in? for those of us who have them, anyway.
manifestering: (011)

[personal profile] manifestering 2024-11-04 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Unknown
Nothing to my knowledge
And as you have implied
What would it mean for those like myself
Who can say
cactusy: (I don't care if it keeps me alive)

[personal profile] cactusy 2024-11-16 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
probably that your body is cold and in the ground and what's left of your consciousness has been uploaded into the simulation for safekeeping.

at least that's straight-forward, right?
manifestering: (012)

[personal profile] manifestering 2024-11-18 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I was not buried but semantics aside
I should hope they can take what is left of me out again later
And that at least some of you are being looked after physically


[But only some.]
cactusy: (I'm waiting for someone)

[personal profile] cactusy 2024-11-25 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
before this place I would have said we have to be. but if there are dead people's consciousnesses here, then they could have tossed all our bodies for all I know.

how do you know what happened to your corpse?
manifestering: (009)

[personal profile] manifestering 2024-11-25 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
True indeed
Still I prefer the optimistic option

And I remained with it for many years
I should clarify I was murdered
A mystery unsolved
