so that makes it sound like we can save our worlds if
we get enough points to save everyone else too!

[dendroculi]

The problem is earning the points.

[honkinbigteeth]

i mean
well what do you mean by that nahida?

[dendroculi]

The bit about hoping we won't be anti-violence at the end...

It more or less confirms what people have been saying: that the points we earn from our tasks are much less compared to the points earned from erasure. If we're too pacifistic, we may not have the points we need to save anyone.

[honkinbigteeth]

oh i see
thats really bad news nahida

[dendroculi]

It could be worse news, but...

I do worry that we don't have the full picture yet. We learn a little more from these messages each week, and they seem to be pointing in a certain direction. But what happens if as a group we go past the point of no return, and it turns out it wasn't what we thought?

But on the other hand... what if it is what it sounds like, and by waiting for confirmation, we lose our chance?

I also worry about how... chaotic it might be, if too many people see this message, and decide to take things into their own hands.

[honkinbigteeth]

yeah i mean we dont know who is in the lead too what if we accidentally make the team in the lead get less points?

but at least for me

i dont know
is it ok if i tell you a story?

[dendroculi]

Of course it is.

[squirt]

it wouldnt make sense for a low scoring team to kill just to try and save everyone
itd just be more violence
hopefully everyone realizes that

[ he does think this is a dangerous message, because it plays into the good will of players, rather than their darker sides. ]

[dendroculi]

I would hope they would realize that as well.

But... sometimes, when people are desperate, they don't think things through. And sometimes when they want to help, they get so focused on trying to that they don't consider the big picture.

[squirt]

i dont know what the bigger picture here is anymore

should we be trying to help someone into the lead
or wait and hope that theres some other way

[dendroculi]

I don't know, either.

The teams that are likely closest to first place right now... [meaning. the teams of the killers who got caught and wHOEVER KILLED THIS PAST WEEK, which she has suspicions about.] ...do we feel like we could trust them if we helped them into the lead?

[squirt]

[ okay, reeling back a little, ]

everyone has been hoping for a solution to save the entire group. if everyone starts killing all at once that doesnt help anybody

its important to be careful with this
even if its better news than weve gotten

[roseoftexas]

There's a few things as well -- we could assign one team to win, and let them collect the majority of the points.

But that's asking a lot of people: to put their trust in people they may not know well; trusting the team to go through with the revival process, and trusting others not to kill the "winning" team before their time.

[frogzoned]

I don't think it's a bad idea, actually.

I guess my worry about be the "higher-ups" thinking that we're rigging the game. I doubt they'd like that.

[roseoftexas]

The higher ups can think a lot of things, but unless they plan on stickig their oar in more than they have already, I don't really care what they have to say.

[honkinbigteeth]

huh yeah it does seem kind of weird
like
maybe theres a way we could combine a team into a superteam or something

i guess if there was a way to figure out who had the most points maybe we could do something. i think id trust at least somebody on all the teams?

[roseoftexas]

Reapers aren't being very forthcoming about that. Just the bottom two spaces, ranking wise. Not even point count.

If we could've made a super team, surely we'd have done with with Rang? Or maybe it was too late once that moment came for him.

But... I need to get some things from the Reapers, so I might ask about point transferral.

[dendroculi]

I asked about... the possibility of moving someone from one team to another that week. They made it sound like it wasn't possible, but even if it was, doing so would make it so they lost their chance to save their former teammates.

Transferring points is another idea, though. We can transfer money... but, we can also see how much money we have. We haven't been able to see our points.

But that might be a way... pooling all the points we've earned through the less violent methods.

[ohthehumanities]

We'd need a much more solid case to convince anyone to go along with that.

["yeah no I'll totally revive you bro source: dude trust me"]

[roseoftexas]

Yeah. People are trusting up to a point, but I doubt the trust would extend to something like that.

[ohthehumanities]

If we could just find a way to figure out where these messages are coming from, or get in touch with someone who has more power than the reapers...

[But how?]

[roseoftexas]

We still don't know how we're getting them. Just that it's the group who get sent on a mission that does.

[squirt]

if someone had the points why wouldnt they revive everyone
?

[ohthehumanities]

[I really thought britt's tag was real]

I think it's more a matter of
everyone would have to mutually agree to sacrifice themselves for the winning team if it turns out this is all fake, or if we didn't gather enough points in the end
