You are a lamppost. You can turn yourself on and off and look around. This is all you can do. What do you do?

[Asgarus]

Turn yourself on and take a look around.

[My Name is Immaterial]

No! If we do that, we give in to The Man! We need to exercise our free will, and Do Nothing! If we take the only actions that are prescribed to us, then we lose our freedom and are no better than puppets in the hands of a cruel puppet master.

Lets stay turned off up until the man shows up and then, turn on, wait 'til he leaves, then turn back off.

[Asgarus]

Try to figure out what man the other voices in your head are talking about while you turn yourself on and take a look around.
(You think you can't see in the dark, though you could try, so taking a look around without turning yourself on might be an option)

What other actions could a Lamppost make?
Looking around is already a stretch.

The Lamppost just sits there for a hour.
What does the Lamppost do after?

[BluarianKnight]

As a lamppost, we must do one thing.
Grow legs.
Grow those legs.
GROW THE LEGS.

Fool! Lamps can't grow legs! We must steal them from others!

Turn ourselves off and on, in a Morse code pattern: a simple SOS. This will attract humans too us. When the humans get close, we will instead blink: Give us your legs.

The Lamppost can't do that. It is a Lamppost.

[BluarianKnight]

Hm. Well, I'm fresh out of ideas.
Does lamppost know morse code?

This is an acceptable move.

The Lamppost starts turning itself on and off in Morse code saying SOS. What now? Do you examine your surroundings?

Yes.

[BluarianKnight]

Continue spamming SoS then, follow Stirk's move.
