Who: Everyone
Where: wherever there's a TV and then, dining hall
When: Day 7, a respectable time in the morning when most people are up and at 'em

[LIVE ALERT!

the cameras zoom in on your boy who seems more cheered than yesterday. maybe it has something to do with yet another cinderblock he's holding as he stands at the game tower?]

Let's meet up. Talk things over. Dining hall in thirty.

Oh, and sorry about the noise.

[because of course it's not a BE=DE live if you're not breaking shit. and windows are loud when they break.

the live cuts off pretty quick after he does a few more (less noisy) minor damages. mostly seems to be just wasting time kicking holes in walls after climbing in through the rebroken window.



Do you attend?]

I'm just gonna keep this short.

We all know the games aren't gonna stay nice and friendly forever. There's worse shit in those boxes than just broken bones. So...

What happens if we just don't show up? None've us. You'd lose out on points, but there's other ways to make that back.

[criminaljustice]

I'd be willing to give that a shot.

Though they'd probably find a way to get us there anyway.

[fiberoptic]

Or they'd find a way to punish us. But better t'say we tried than blindly going along with their games.

[criminaljustice]

No arguments here.

[ blink blink OH HEY ]

There's no rule against it, is there?

[fiberoptic]

No one's been dinged for not makin' it to a game in time. Who's to say what happens if no one can make it.

[toodeeptoford]

It's worth a shot.

Re: Topics of Interest

[crossmyheartandhope]

You think they'd let us just skip out?

[fiberoptic]

Individuals have missed games before. We don't know what happens if whole units are absent.

[liarliarliar]

That's something that could work probably only once if that. But once is certainly more than none.

[fiberoptic]

We don't know what'd happen if some units showed and others were absent, too. If you think it's worth testing the waters.

[afailedmurder]

That's a possibility worth considering, though I wonder if it might not be more effective to go and then refuse to play. Since we're being watched, we should endeavor to make our protest as visible as possible.

[fiberoptic]

Say we make a public protest of it. Once we're in the game room, they hold all the cards. Are you willing to turn this into a hunger strike if they decide not to let us out until we comply?

[neigh_sayer]

[just pops outta no where]

But how are we supposed to know when they're gonna try to pull that? I didn't mind our last performance. . .

[fiberoptic]

When it comes down to it, it's a gamble. These games always have been.

Re: Topics of Interest

[furrytailprince]

We have no idea of knowing when that may happen. Are you suggesting we skip all of the competitions entirely?

[fiberoptic]

Why the hell not?

[columbidaring]

After all, what's the worst that could happen?

[ a beat ]

But really, I'm up for it as long as we have some advance notice and we can be sure everyone'll sit out.

[fiberoptic]

Unfortunately, there's no way to be sure if that. Unless someone takes it on themselves to police the rest... and I can't see everyone being happy about that.

Re: Topics of Interest

[grandschemed]

Worth it to see what'd happen, at least. If we can get everyone on the same page on this one.

Re: Topics of Interest

[fiberoptic]

Even a few units not showing up would be a start to gauge the gamerunner's reaction. But again, that'd call for everyone being united on this.

Which means something's gonna go wrong.

[reversecowbird]

It's an interesting idea, but only if everyone can agree to stay away. Do you believe there's a chance of that?

[fiberoptic]

If I were being completely honest here?

No. There's gonna be someone weak willed enough to want the points, or fearful of retribution. We've got no way to enforce this unless someone appoints themselves the law - and that sure as hell won't be popular. Last thing we need is more fighting among ourselves.

Re: Topics of Interest

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

I’m willing to try it, if everyone else agrees.

[But he doesn’t look entirely confident in people’s reactions.]

Re: Topics of Interest

[sancrimony]

[ taking a little bit to listen to the conversation happening before he speaks up ]

Excuse me . . . But, perhaps it might be possible to test out the waters with one or two units first, as opposed to having a full strike with every unit? If the experiment is to see what repercussions will occur for not participating, is it not better to gradually build it up?

[ hum hum hum ]

If nothing else, starting with one unit and increasing the number of units that don't show up gives a sense of building pressure. Moreover, with that, we can test to see - if individuals are fine, is one entire unit not showing up fine? If one unit not showing up is fine, are two? Where is it that it becomes intolerable to the producers?

. . . Ah, though perhaps that is a little too slow . . . ? My apologies, perhaps this was a silly idea . . .
