Re: [WW] TRON - System Uptime 4
My fellow Programs,
I want to appeal to you all, all of the unnamed, anonymous blocks of code out there.
I have news. We've all been fooled by ENCOM, and even by the Flynn (our great creator?).
They call it 'infected' and the cure they call 'clean'.
They call them corrupted, and in their absence is order.
I'm here to tell you it's the other way around and if you give it any cycles you will parse my text == TRUE.
They are only trying to free us all.
We can all become clean together and be rid of ENCOM.
The Flynn needs your help so that He can leave us behind. He promises that you will share in his victory, but only a precious few of you are invited to witness his ascension. The rest of you must be Terminated in order for him to escape.
I offer you all another path. A path that each of you is welcome to join and enjoy the new world we create here together.
Together.
Free of the oppression of the MCP and his function of derezz, Sark.
Free of the User Programs that dictate our purpose.
I'm talking about actual freedom here, Programs, and I am telling you all that - with a strong majority, we can indeed win this.
The MCP would be fine if you were all derezzed.
The USERS want enough of you derezzed or terminated so that their escape is possible.
The "Clean" team wants you to join in a Majority - and stop the terminations against "the infected", stop the terror, stop the MCP.
Qantaga - you see what your fate is with the Users. You will be terminated at "their" next chance.
I can assure you that there is indeed at least one other of you that also shares this fate (I'm a big help, eh?).
Now, some of you have no choice. You were programmed to derezz trouble makers, maybe you were even programmed to maintain Control over Everyone. Or you don't even belong here and you are just focused on getting yourself Out of the System (leaving the rest of us to the MCP and Sark, I suppose?).
The rest of you have a choice.
I've seen the Sector Map, and I've seen where some masses of Permission Bits have gone. I recognize this 'serves' my case, but I assure you it is indeed the truth. I didn’t want to keep making this case and have people think I was trying to trick them. I am not. I am honestly sharing what I see as the outlook of this Grid is and the choice that I think Programs have before them. Case in point, I can assure you that RMC (if he went were he last claimed to have gone) had an array of them when he died (at least 4, and any he collected the previous downtimes). (Coop, I have some other ‘evidence’, but I am sure you can see how I may not want to just reveal everything, and frankly - I'm not going to start making things up right now – since the truth, I think, is on my side.)
The Users will have you believe you need them; you need them, so that the Flynn can leave the System... for what? You don't need them. They need you. We all need you. The System Needs You. When the Flynn is gone, where does that leave us.
Where does that leave the System.
I think the greatest number of programs can win if we all start to focus on keeping Thorne and the Daft Punks alive and working toward getting us all in the state that the MCP calls 'corrupt' - but that I assure you is actually our natural free state.
Are you with me?

Re: [WW] TRON - System Uptime 4
As for Qantaga, I'm fine with cleaning him. The users team has three corrupt and two corporate shills to remove from tainting the grid without taking the good denizens of the grid out. But like any free society, it's going to take the good among us to work together in large numbers to bring down those that would pervert the grid and its programs to their own nefarious uses.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Is Unagi announcing himself to Thorne in desperation or is he Thorne?
Sark clearly doesn't like me stirring things up against tru1cy. Makes me think I hit a nerve.

Re: [WW] TRON - System Uptime 4
I think we may have users viewing Flynn (Users) as good guy and ENCOM and Corruption as bad guy when free programs should be thinking about surviving the game. Now I understand named programs thinking that way because they cannot switch sides but we can.Unagi wrote:Just for the record, (and you are clearly allowed to lie... so I'm not sure what I'm going for here...) but just what Victory do you hope to achieve.

Re: [WW] TRON - System Uptime 4
Users was the "easy" victory condition. No need to identify or kill anyone. Minimizing the number of infected helps, but otherwise, easy.Lassr wrote: I think we may have users viewing Flynn (Users) as good guy and ENCOM and Corruption as bad guy when free programs should be thinking about surviving the game. Now I understand named programs thinking that way because they cannot switch sides but we can.
ENCOM victory requires lynching Flynn or getting lucky and getting admin rights and a derezz on the same program who and still have the problem of identifying Flynn... and also deal with the infected.
Corruption victory requires identifying and killing Quorra and then living for however long it takes to infect everyone in the game, knowing there are a ton of virus scans and anti-virus around.
That's why I started on the Users path after the initial discussions.

It was the easy path. If we start derezzing it could be accomplished still. I don't want to be derezzed in this game because it does not benefit me. In games where I am a good guy and my sacrifice helps the team then that's different but it's not that way in this game. We choose our team.coopasonic wrote:Users was the "easy" victory condition. No need to identify or kill anyone. Minimizing the number of infected helps, but otherwise, easy.Lassr wrote: I think we may have users viewing Flynn (Users) as good guy and ENCOM and Corruption as bad guy when free programs should be thinking about surviving the game. Now I understand named programs thinking that way because they cannot switch sides but we can.
ENCOM victory requires lynching Flynn or getting lucky and getting admin rights and a derezz on the same program who and still have the problem of identifying Flynn... and also deal with the infected.
Corruption victory requires identifying and killing Quorra and then living for however long it takes to infect everyone in the game, knowing there are a ton of virus scans and anti-virus around.
That's why I started on the Users path after the initial discussions.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Re: [WW] TRON - System Uptime 4
Actually, I am thinking that if programs join Users when they have a decent collection of PB, then executing people makes that number easier to reach. If Sark had been doing his job removing infection, that would also help. As people seem willing to execute now, we are headed in the right direction. Don't forget what happens to those lovely Bits held by a program who is executed! As far as Corruption, I would happily join at a point where jumping ship seems prudent, but that time is not now.

I can assure you that there is indeed at least one other of you that also shares this fate (I'm a big help, eh?).
Isgrimnur wrote:As for Qantaga, I'm fine with cleaning him. The users team has three corrupt and two corporate shills to remove from tainting the grid without taking the good denizens of the grid out. But like any free society, it's going to take the good among us to work together in large numbers to bring down those that would pervert the grid and its programs to their own nefarious uses.
So, it would appear that I am a pawn at the moment. Will I be derezzed, or cleansed, or neither?
The three things I'm curious about (that i'm sure I'm just overlooking through all the posts) are:
1. Unagi, I see where you're coming from, but why are you voting to derezz tru1cy?
2. Why the votes on Lassr? Apparently, everyone thinks he has revealed something that I'm missing.
3. Mr. Bubbles claims to have found some important information. I'm eager to hear his promised, detailed post on that info.
If we shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended

Re: [WW] TRON - System Uptime 4
You are not a pawn. I will clean you myself this downtime, as I was lucky enough to acquire the resources to do so. You are a valued member of this grid I would not ask for your sacrifice when another option presents itself.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: [WW] TRON - System Uptime 4
i think for me personally, i think the user end game is easier to reach. Hence i think a series of lynches would be helpful. Dont we have a small pool of people who've been infected and who are now clean, who can not be on the corrupted side in a permanent basis?
hence lynching encom & thorpe seems the easier way to reach. I think the infection route is a pretty tough road to hew, since we've cleaned up most likely 3 folks, and quantaga coming up.
Note - i am still logged on to encom, and will probably remain so that i can search 2 squares, at the appropriate time i will logoff and become a normal user. Am saying this also so folks who do a system scan on me and see the encom do not leap to the wrong conclusion.

Q- austin claims to have sys scan lassr as Team Corruption, meaning he must be Thorne or one of the Daftpunks.

Don't think that's true. It could be anyone logged into Team Corruption as well.Chaosraven wrote:Q- austin claims to have sys scan lassr as Team Corruption, meaning he must be Thorne or one of the Daftpunks.

Zero reason to be logged into corruption at this stage unless you want to be seen as corruption and lynched.stessier wrote:Don't think that's true.

If this is true the appropriate time to be on team Users is now if you have any permission bits. The grid has to be picked nearly clean at this point and we could be 1 bit from victory.Newcastle wrote:Note - i am still logged on to encom, and will probably remain so that i can search 2 squares, at the appropriate time i will logoff and become a normal user.

Just because you think there is zero reason to be on Team Corruption doesn't mean everyone thinks there is zero reason to be on Team Corruption (just look at Unagi!).coopasonic wrote:Zero reason to be logged into corruption at this stage unless you want to be seen as corruption and lynched.stessier wrote:Don't think that's true.

I think you are right, but we are drawing conclusions from Austin's statement rather than it being a logical fact.

Lassr's counter argument was that he was on team Users and had 4 permission bits. If that was true it's almost certain Users would have won last downtime. Austin's findings sound more likely. His support and apparent expectation of Unagi's "go team corruption" makes it good enough for me.

Re: [WW] TRON - System Uptime 4
I have been almost completely upfront in this game. I have fibbed a bit with regard to sector findings on the first couple days to have the chance to scan without being derezzed. /shrug, I have been 100% transparent with the scan results though.
