un: Mithrun1 | Re: Digital Conference

[tablescraps]

There's a digital conference on September 23rd. We'll be able to ask CC Corp questions about the game and its anomalies.

How clearly they'll answer, I don't know. But it may be worthwhile to pool together everyone's observations, speculations, and complaints here. Different people have seen different things in Fragment, and not a lot of that information is consolidated.

If you've commented on the forums with your observations before, or seen a worthwhile comment, then you can re-link it.

For example, on the topic of the level cap armor:
• UTA's post (in-game NPCs' warning against using it)
• Zelkova's response (indicating the armor was not an intended feature, nor are titles)
• UTA's comment (in-game NPCs claiming only two individuals can "create things")

If you want to talk about something offline for whatever reason, DM me. I don't really mind sharing my number or email.

i dont know but

icant stop thinking how they ignored your situation compleytly and sa id hana was lyin

and they didnt bother sayin anything when mithrn had problems until he came back

and theyrr askin for medical tests but not putting their own game on hold

if they dont care about keepin people safe or believing us then maybe they actually want this weird stuff to happen t o us

did they even fix the weird stuff that was happening last week? i dont even know if im gonna be home before the conference.

Either we're mice in an extremely unethical experiment of some sort or there's a rogue AI with at least Zelkova-tier power that they're willfully ignoring. The wind talking about death and stuff right before Mithrun "died" is still really weird if it was someone with CC Corp. Unless Mithrun made enemies with the company somehow?

[tablescraps]

Not that I'm aware of. There are reasons I can think of that might not endear CC Corp to me, ( his past organized crime affiliations mostly, if they know of that, ) but there are more effective ways to snipe at me, if that were the case.

The experiment angle seems comparatively more likely. Researchers don't like being impeded by conceptual ethics much.

( Speaking as a researcher on hiatus... )

[threatmewted]

You're not the first one to tell me that re: experimentation.

[gluttoning]

we did sign a ton of paperwork to even play this

maybe they dont want us to be aware for a reason

like those tests they do with computers to see if people can tell if the computer is a person or not

[threatmewted]

After this, I'm gonna need to have a lawyer look through all the paperwork before I sign up for a single new site or program.

[ganymed]

I'm not sure if that other stuff actually stopped happening. So I'm willing to bet no.

Especially if they're actually doing this for some shady reason.

[gluttoning]

im really wondering

people are losing time and waking up covered in blood and stuff and thats after they told everybody t o go see a doctor

they arent pulling anyone off the game for their own safety

either theyre all just a bunch of uncaring idiots or maybe this isnt something thats a surprise to them

or at least its not a surprise they think is worth fixing

[ganymed]

They know what they're doing. They're a bunch of bastards who think they can get away with whatever they like.

[gluttoning]

and im guessing theyre not worried about lawyers

i asked hien a while back after what happened to hana. he didnt really seem concerned about the fact that the company could get in a lot of trouble.

dont know if that shows that hien just doesnt care all that much or if the company just isnt worried about backlash, but what hien told me matched what they announced later. he implied to me hana was lying and thats what was also told to everyone else that weekend.

[ganymed]

They're overconfident due to the size of the company and the monetary value they hold, I bet. Typical.

It shows to me that it's both. More importantly though is that he knew because the company isn't worried, clearly due to how secure they feel about their position and standing in the whole thing. It'd make sense they'd tell certain employees first before the story gets out there.

[gluttoning]

maybe if he wasnt tied down so hard with that nda hien could actually give some more context

but theyre working him like crazy and hes still going through with it

i wonder why

[ganymed]

Maybe. Depends on how generous he'd be feeling even then.

It's a job and he needs money. He's probably getting a lot of that in overtime pay too.

[gluttoning]

didnt he look kind of bad when mithrun was out? he didnt look much better when i saw him the next week too

is money worth that much if youre making yourself feel that bad to get it

[ganymed]

I noticed that.

Sometimes, money can be worth running yourself ragged. I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of those people.

Perhaps it is not "money".
