day one - aftermath

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day one 41 players remaining. As the voting period comes to an end, a bell goes off from the ticket machine, and the metal bars blocking the tunnel at the end of the Hall of Mirrors lifts. A voice speaks over the loudspeaker: "Attention, guests! Please make your way onto the ride! For your safety, keep your hands and arms inside and do not attempt to leave your seat!" Through the tunnel, single cars on a track stop and wait for each remaining player to step on. Don't dawdle, or your bracelet will begin to beep a warning. Once in a car, the safety bar locks you tightly inside, unable to move. The car trundles along a dark, twisting track, nearly veering into cartoonish obstacles, but veering away at the last moment. Music and cackling laughter echoes loudly through the ride as you drive faster and faster. Suddenly, your car seems about to veer off to the left, through a set of tall doors, before abruptly spinning off to the right. With a powerful jerk, each car comes to the end of the ride. The safety bar lifts, and you can leave. It seems no one was executed tonight, but a list of votes has been pinned to the wall for your perusal. You now have the rest of the evening to explore the park, before night comes again. character statuses private conversations This is a general post-vote mingle encompassing the time from the end of the trial (about 5 PM until the fireworks at 11 PM). You are encouraged and welcome to backtag discussions in this post until the next day post, or to have afternoon private conversations.

How can we do that? If we do not know very much about any of us, if we are not familiar with how one habitually behaves... I almost wonder if it would not be better to enforce a "buddy system" of our own.

[One can imagine the Engrish when she says buddy system here.]

One where a person is not literally bound, as the game would have it seem, but rather, a small group of three or four to watch each other and get to know each other.

You mean, a "buddy system" outside the ones of the game...?

[Could be a plan!]

Hmm. Perhaps. That would be a...wise idea. That would sort out any idiosyncrasies, if they are noticeable.

Indeed. By dorm, by room number -- an assignment as such, while eliminating some aspects of privacy, would at least permit for monitoring during the day.

The main trouble is that the VIPs are permitted in the park overnight, while normal people are not.
