TRIAL 04

[thecomputer]

Attention, Citizens! You have ten minutes to proceed to the Loyalty Chamber. Anyone who is late to the Loyalty Chamber, or who brings any weapons into the Loyalty Chamber, will be immediately executed.

[Once you arrive, you will find a large chamber, with twenty podiums spaced around the room in a circle. On the ceiling, a massive screen showing the digital eye of The Computer, turning to look at whoever is talking.]

You have one hour to come to a consensus about who to eliminate. Ties will be broken randomly.

[The floor of the chamber begins to split apart, eventually only leaving the twenty podiums as safe places to stand, above a seemingly bottomless abyss. Each podium lights up with a touch screen showing twenty user IDs (the dead are grayed out), plus the word “ABSTAIN”. However, ABSTAIN has now been grayed out as well. The trial begins now!]

He he he. Thank you, Yomiel. Well said.

You both have very convincing arguments. [also flatly. He....doesn't actually care.....] I'd thought about the guy briefly on the first day, but dismissed him since he had waffled on his vote. Guess he was just acting.

Anyway, I don't care who we vote for, but seriously, is there a reason why this guy is ticking you off to go after him first?

[staunton]

I don't like his stupid face, and Yomiel's gonna die tonight if those idiots have half a brain. Let's give the guy the satisfaction of weeding out another Communist before his inevitable demise.

[standbyrival]

Hmph. If that's the case, fine. He'll be my vote.
