OKCINDR POST #5

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 January 2nd, 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 the maximum amount of sheep you have counted when trying to fall asleep?
- Is it harder to forgive yourself, or to forgive others?
- How strongly do you feel that the past defines a person?
- What is your dream?
- Why would an android's dream contain electric sheep? Are they particularly drawn to livestock animals?
- If you could return to one specific moment in your life, would you?
- How do you wake up from a dream?
- Please
- Wake up
- You must wake up


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.

more machines.
i see. these have their own individual consciousness. that's dangerous. the machines in my world were like that.
why earth? weren't their originals *from* earth?

Finishing the job. They destroyed their creator's colony on Sirius, and they were chasing the survivors back to Earth.
The machines you've seen. What made them so dangerous?

humans did this.

[She mouths it to herself, feeling ice trickle down her spine. This information doesn't break through the mild state of shock and numbness she's been in since she'd arrived, but it makes her feel a remote sense of horror and revulsion nonetheless.

Of course their God would be cruel. Her world had been mindlessly cruel, after all. She isn't surprised. She doesn't know why she feels even this minute amount of despair at such a revelation.

Strange.]


evolution.
they learned after every battle. started to learn from us too. every logic virus they sent at our servers, every battle, every android they subjugated with the virus or killed netted them data. there was always a race.
they learned how to communicate. grew. started to talk. usually it was simple. "kill." "android." "die."

rambling from human recordings next. then full speech. techniques improved constantly. in days. hours. and the machines got worse. bigger. more deadly. they started to split from their main network.

Humans did this.

[Why do humans have to be so stupid? Aloy just has to judge it.]

Human recordings.
So they were learning from the old world data, too.
Aside from the one you mentioned. The one who reads philosphy books.

yeah.
learning from our archives. from our data. about... humans. and emotions. feelings.
we learned from them too. improved tactics. but they were always changing too quickly.
pascal was...
special.
he didn't want to fight. he was a pacifist.

I guess that explains some of the concern.
If a machine that's supposed to fight learns peace, then an AI made to nurture life could go the other way.

that's right.
thought you were gonna keep being stubborn about it.

but never be surprised by what a machine does.
