TRIAL 04

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!]

Alright, I've been listening to you morons rant back and forth and back and forth over and over again. Its boring and it all seems to revolve around one stupid fucking point.

Logic.

All of you are soooo worried about the logic behind this death and this death and blah, blah blah, blah blaaaaah! LOOK AROUND US! At what point did you all convince yourselves that logic applied to any of this bullshit?! When we all got clone bodies?! When the first girl we offed could make shields with her mind?! May I remind you said girl was all too happy to eat us if we had the chance. Meanwhile, Sunglasses-Indoors over there thinks he's a zombie, Dickface apparently tried to kill her own sister (probably Cain and Abel style), Assdick thinks purple hair is natural, and the only semi-reasonable one (but not by much) is pissing vomit he's so wasted.

Whoever the asshole communist is more likely to have a giant murder boner right now then they are to have killed someone for logic.

Even if logic is a perfectly good reason to kill a man. Never helped anyone, I tell you.

[Something he wishes his son could take away. Thinking's just not worth it a lot of the times.]

That's why I get the revenge over with as quick as can be. No one's pulling a Hamlet on me.

I think the Bible said something about "an eye for an eye", now that you mention it. Swift vengeance is something Jesus wholeheartedly endorses.

[Clay isn't too sure about that one, but he already said it. No going back now.]

They're not killing randomly, you moron! Every single death after the first one has been someone with a role! Unless we've got the luckiest Communists on the face of the planet, logic is exactly how they're choosing their victims!

I'm sorry, at what point did I say the deaths were random, Face of an Butt? If people were thinking logically, we wouldn't be playing this fucking asshole's "Team Building Exercise" to begin with! But no, people let emotions take over and played his fucking game.

If people were thinking logically, they wouldn't have chosen "victims" in the first place.

So you're not even trying to have a point, okay. Pipe down, kid, the adults are talking.

[ Yomiel you are not that much older than he is. ]

Oh look, now we're ignoring people rather than face the consequences of basically murdering everyone. That's cool. By which I mean fuck you and your moronic attempts at style.

My point, as anyone who listened would tell you, is that we should be killing "Friend" Computer Version 1.asshole rather than waste our fucking time.

I said pipe down and leave the thinking to people who are good at it! How are we supposed to "kill" the computer? You realize that [ he jerks his thumb up at the monitor on the ceiling ] is only there to creep us out, right? All the actually essential hardware has to be kept off-site!

Then how can he force us to play his fucking game?! If he's only here to creep us out, why bother killing each other rather than wait for an opportunity to gut him?!

...Are you always this stupid or are you making a special effort today?

And then there's Neckbrace here, who I have heard make enough chess references that I believe he has actually broken his neck and styled his hair so he looks like a fucking horsey piece.

Edited 2014-11-18 21:58 (UTC)

The "horsey piece" is called a knight.

My god, you aren't denying it.

You actually do have a point. According to Sakura, the enemy side is under more pressure to win the game than the ally side because there's some kind of emotional leverage against them. It's not reasonable in general to assume everyone will act perfectly logically all the time, but especially not now, given that.

That's not enough to convince me otherwise, though, since only allies with special roles have died as a result of Communist action since Moge-ko.

WHAT I'M SAYING is that there's nothing stopping them from killing each other, like the brat is suggesting, and nothing stopping them from protecting each other like Mr. Unfashionable is suggesting. They could even both be communists, sacrificing each other for the sake of some insane plan. Its all bullshit from either end, so don't pretend anyone has to make a logical plan to save themselves from this mess.

How is that remotely relevant to like, anything?

Also going by your "reasoning," you're pretty much telling us to vote for you. You sure don't go by any earth logic I know of, and you hold the pettiest of grudges.

So if you don't want us to vote for you, shut up, sit down, and wait for this trial to be over and done with.

You fucking idiot. You think I'm the communist because of how much emotion I show? I oughta BREAK YOUR LEGS WITH A JACKHAMMER, YOU IDIOTIC SWINE!

Edited 2014-11-18 22:19 (UTC)

But that's exactly your argument. Instead of logic, you're assuming the communists are operating on more basic, primal instincts, like emotions and blood lust. Maybe you ought to go break your own legs, the sharp pain might give what little of a brain you have a nice kickstart.

First off, breaking my own legs would be ridiculous unhelpful and force me to concentrate on the pain rather than anything else. Read a book, you asinine millennial.

Second off, you're exactly right. The bastards are more emotional, but also crafty assholes. So, if they want to divert suspicion, they're much more likely to try and hide it. The fact that I'm open with my desire to smash you into drill means I'm the least likely to be a communist.

. . .

[TO THE COMPUTER]

Computer, if I'm driven to jump off this podium to my death due to the pure idiocy coming from this guy's mouth, will that count as murder? Can he be put to death or get a penalty for it? Because I'm seriously considering it.

Thank you for your question, Citizen! Unfortunately, psychological warfare does not qualify as homicide, regardless of the results.

[ ... Rin's seriously going to roll her eyes at this because wow, he sure has some anger issues. She's not sure why she's even bothering, but whatever. ]

What exactly does clone bodies have to do with anything? Have you not been paying attention to any of the rules? It explicitly says that if you kill someone, you lose a "clone body" of your own. If someone was really desperate to win, they could have just killed someone they knew was certainly a Communist six times just to win, especially since we, the Citizens have a huge advantage in regards to people.

But nobody's thinking logically to begin with; it's human nature to prioritize survival, after all. But I'm going to second what Phi said -- the first death was obviously random because they didn't have any information besides who every single one of the Communists are. But after the first death, they would have to think up a strategy. It's not necessarily logic, though; it's more of a matter of guessing who can possibly be a threat or not when scanning, and if a role shows up, then good, the Communists can go "let's kill him" because there's roles that can threaten them. Like, you know -- the Troubleshooter that just died?

The reason why we're going with logic for all these deaths is because it's ridiculously stupid to off someone just by mere guesses. But even though I think Robin and Fulbright are acting awfully suspicious, there's nothing to prove that they actually killed anybody nor will there ever be. This so-called "team building game" is just here to make us go against each other, doubt each other, and put everyone into extreme paranoia.

And it's doesn't help that people are lying, but I suppose it can't be helped, can it? At this point, I really don't care who wins, but if we keep going around in circles like this, we're all going to end up dead. So if you have anything that would actually tell us to vote for, I'd like to hear it.

Otherwise, there's no point to this conversation at this point in time; it's just a time waster.

Hold on now. I mentioned clone bodies as an example of how batshit this place is, so I don't know why you're going on about murder and whatnot, you sick creep.

My point is why the fuck are we letting this metal husk control us in the first place? Like you said, this farce of an exercise is just more and more bullshit every single day. Why indulge the bullshit this bastard is spewing?!

I say don't vote at all and plan an actual rebellion against the nonsense.

If everyone doesn't vote, that means their vote goes for themselves. That means we'll get a tie and therefore, someone at random will most likely be eliminated. And that's a stupid move.

Besides, it's rather entertaining to watch them yell it out.
