OKCINDR POST #5

[expiationmods]

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:

It depends on what board games! It's only now that I'm starting to understand them!

[manifestering]

Interesting
What did you find challenging about them before
?

[thenicerone]

I believe the game I played is called Shogi? I still don't understand it but the rules make it challenging for me to follow.

[manifestering]

Ah
You should try chess
Similar yet simpler
Master chess and then return to shogi

[thenicerone]

Really?

I wasn't aware it was that much easier! It is the one with the black and white boxes right? And the little statues? I have heard of it before but it seems a lot more complicated than Shoji.

[manifestering]

It does not apply the additional rules regarding returning a piece to the board after capture
Many people find this less confusing

[thenicerone]

Then I'll have to go look into it!

As for board games, is there others you would recommend? I'm afraid the only other one I'm familiar with is Go.

[manifestering]

Checkers
Card games are also entertaining

[thenicerone]

Card games? I know Go Fish and Slap Jack? I'm afraid my human friends haven't really taught me a lot of card games.

[manifestering]

If you are a fan of adding and risk there are always Blackjack and Poker

[thenicerone]

Oh, I heard of Blackjack and Poker too! I haven't played it because my human friends didn't want me to get interested in gambling.

[manifestering]

Do your human friends consider you irresponsible
?

They can be played without stakes

[thenicerone]

I'm not sure, I never really asked why.

[More like she's too innocent and naive to corrupt.]

[manifestering]

Your friends must have foreseen this lack of curiosity as well
Play the games or do not
I am not your moral arbiter and neither frankly are playing cards

[thenicerone]

I certainly do!

I'm just curious, I want to learn more about human customs. Card or board games, it isn't common in demon world!

[manifestering]

Well you seem opposed to things your friends disapprove of
So why not ask them instead
?

[thenicerone]

Oh well...

I just didn't want to upset them by accident.

[manifestering]

With card games
?

I think you should do whatever you want for your own sake

[thenicerone]

...I think that is something I'm still trying to figure out.

I have been too worried about other people lately.

[manifestering]

Oh yes
Fatal flaw
You know they do say to look out for number one

[thenicerone]

People have been saying that to me too. To worry about myself but I often worry about upsetting people when I do.

[Especially when it just so happened to be about her brother.]

[manifestering]

If you ask me
Someone who will be upset over your agency will find a way to be upset no matter what
Regardless do not consider it worrying about yourself
How negative
Prioritize yourself
Play a card game
Anything

[guy who has a lot of feelings about personal agency voice: fuck being a people-pleaser actually]

[thenicerone]

...

I'll have to keep that in mind. I don't really want to upset my friends since I don't want to have any conflict.

[And if she were to get them upset, there really was no one else she could go to.]

[manifestering]

You should not have to tiptoe around your friends' opinions if they are your friends
In any case
Good luck with your card games or whichever amusements you choose

[thenicerone]

It's...

Kind of complicated.
