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

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

Even worse, what would a clone know about family, anyway? All Aloy's ideas about it are constructed notions from looking in on other people and things she wants for herself.]
Maybe she can, but GAIA worked for centuries without that happening.
HADES was built to wipe everything out again if the terraforming system was creating a nonviable biosphere. So GAIA could start over again, if needed.
GAIA prioritizes life so much that they had to give HADES the ability to disable her.
The version of GAIA that made me
Sacrificed herself
To stop HADES.
So maybe she could learn to hate us. But I don't think she would.
no subject
She doesn't say this.]
guess you won the machine lottery, then. congrats.
[She would talk to the kid about this, she decides. Beta. Later. This GAIA was strange and unsettling to her. She wonders if the kid will think differently. Aloy strikes her as one of those optimistic types, and she feels a little memory shudder over her data. 9S clutching his head in his hands, in so much agony that he'd succumbed to madness.
Something to keep an eye on.]
she ever made anything sentient that wasn't... you? or another human?
no subject
Any plant or animal had to be reintroduced by one of her subordinate functions.
I guess I'm the only one she made with a purpose.
[It sure was a time to realize she was a machine's tool. And to have a deteriorating HADES call her a pawn.]
no subject
you ever seen a battlefield after artillery fire and bombing? there's nothing left.
when the fighting stopped for a while, the birds started to come back.
she made a lot.
no subject
Okay, you're right.
I've seen old world tech pick a field clean.
The corpses of their war machines are part of almost every landscape.
And plants are slowly burying them because of her work.
no subject
life goes on.
or whatever
wouldn't it be worse to be born without a purpose?
no subject
Maybe.
I always thought I would dig up some answers and then
I don't know.
Just be happy. Go back and live.
I found this instead, but I don't know if it's better.
It just has to be done.
no subject
[If it was ever over. But surely it would end — for a human, at least. The concept of a future was a dream, a privilege that humans were allowed. That was what she had always thought, in the times she allowed herself to think of humanity at all.]
no subject
There's always another problem coming up.
no subject
[It seemed easy enough to her. If a machine could mass produce humans, then surely it could mass produce the same human to effectively perform the required functions. She's thinking of this in android terms.]
no subject
I got into the facility that made me, once. Might not be capable of much anymore.
no subject
but that's all it is.
[When A2 is telling you that your one woman mission is unrealistic, it's bad.]
no subject
We can rise to the challenge.
[She can only respond like that. HADES can let her know she's playing a losing game, and she'll tell the AI she'll make it work. The only difference is that she has a very different opinion of A2 compared with the damned extinction protocol.]
no subject
so you shouldn't need a pep talk from me.
if the world's still in danger though, sounds like you won skirmishes. war's different.
no subject
We can find something to use in it.
That will make a difference.
no subject
no subject
Angry AI copies of the worst humans from the old world, coming back to Earth to destroy everything in a tantrum.
no subject
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?
no subject
The machines you've seen. What made them so dangerous?
no subject
[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.
no subject
[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.
no subject
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.
no subject
If a machine that's supposed to fight learns peace, then an AI made to nurture life could go the other way.
no subject
thought you were gonna keep being stubborn about it.
i'm not saying she will
but never be surprised by what a machine does.
