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!]

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.
