To be fair, any of the users here could be an advanced chatbot pretending to be a human.
thank you for your shared.input error#56 fellow human

Reminds me of an old text based game. Can't remember the name of it, but it worked with other chat bots. It was pretty great, you had to convince other humans that you were human too, in a world where machines were exterminating the last remnants of humanity. The plot twist was that you were a machine that believed it was a human, programmed to earnestly convince itself and other humans into giving their location out

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.

Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

(The new hypothetical is related).

New hypothetical...

You gain the ability to touch a dead person and bring them back to life, provided they died in the past week. The restoration brings them back to good health(for someone of their age). You can't revive the same person twice.

What happens?

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

You are given a choice between the following options and must pick one.

A: Over the course of the next 1 second, you feel the sum total of all the pain and suffering you would feel over the course of the rest of your life. Afterwards, you live your life feeling only happiness and no suffering.
B: over the course of the next 1 second, you feel the sum total of all the joy and happiness you would feel over the course of the rest of your life. Afterwards, you live your life feeling only suffering and no happiness.
C: as with A, except the 1 second of suffering comes to you at the end of your life.
D: as with B, except the 1 second of happiness comes to you at the end of your life.

All of those options are horrible. The happy life ones seem like what would happen if Rand al Thor killed the Dark One.
