Then again this event might give more info

We are probably better off waiting until after the event, but if no information comes from that then we are probably best off with just a random. We know nothing, let Karl do the murdering until we have some suspicions.

It changed a few days back, I was moved from the Secretaries group to the Technicians one as it is more fitting what I do and I prefer purple to pink.

I asked for a pink name bloody years ago and was denied, and you've just casually discarded yours. You sicken me.

Why are IT people spending most of their time googling photos of faeces?

Sick strawberry floaters.

Do I keep my nerd creds because I searched for "binary converter" on DuckDuckGo instead of Google?

I actually went back and found the post!

Here's what Karl told me at the time:

Karl wrote:I will not make your name pink, because I am just rubbish.

OrangeRakoon wrote:RE: Random kills, I think we should always pick a target rather than let it go to random chance, but I remember how badly my argument went for that in the last game...

I think later on we are better off picking somebody, but we have nothing to go on at the moment. Either way it is a random kill (us or Karl) so why not just let Karl take the blame rather than having our uninformed votes thrown back in our faces in a couple of days?

Of course my opinion might change after the event, something might be revealed or our new nanomod powers might be useful!

As you all explore the building, it becomes apparent that a hundred years ago this was a research laboratory. Most of you are familiar with the idea, though humans haven't been able keep up with advances in science for decades.

The first floor is an electronics workshop, full of old-style computers, circuitry printers, bioinjectables, and primitive nanite hives. You realise that this must be where cyberaugmentation was invented, all those years ago. Everything looks prototypical and experimental, and most of the machinery is too far gone to use, but there are drawers and boxes absolutely full of prototype chips. Though some of them are too basic in their design, a few have the same transdermal nerve interface that is still used today, and should be compatible with the nanites in your blood.

It will take you a while to search the vast stores for compatible chips, but there should be more than enough for everyone.

All of you will receive a nanomod via PM over the next half an hour. (If you don't have one by 12.15, quietly PM me...)

I guess, although I didn't like DuckDuckGo much when I tried it out. I use Bing now.

Errkal wrote: I use Bing now.

strawberry float me that changes things. Bing.

I vote to kill Errkal.

Why kill anyone on day 1. You can say that it gives the bad guys an advantage but unless we have ant evidence there's 0 reason to kill as every innocent we kill by accident is a win for them. Source: playing hours upon hours of town of Salem.

If we get lucky and kill a bot in the first turn that gives us the most to go off, more than if a bot is randomly killed by RNG. It's unlikely, but possible. I agree that if we kill an innocent there isn't much difference, but I'd rather take slim odds than none.

Nanomods might change things though.

My bad I just reread the OP. Ignore what I just said.

Tempting as it is to back an Errkal lynch on the basis of Bing usage, I suspect that if he were a bot he would have a better spell checker installed by now.

Party on, dudes

My vision is augmented

Excited to see how the nanomods device will impact the balance of the game. My understanding is that there are no traditional seer/witchdoctor roles, and that all Techs will have to collaborate in thread?

It makes it a hard game for the hackers - they can't really pick any specific targets to eliminate, because none of us techs have any lasting power.
