An item I received contains transcriptions of verbal dialogue my brother has said to me in person, the latest dating to a year ago.

Other items I received contain references to my brother's bodily measurements.

If CC Corp would like to suggest that there are hidden cameras in my vicinity, or that CC Corp has access to cameras employed by other agencies, and that is how these verbal records from various locations and physical estimates of my brother's person came to be, then...

But I suspect that isn't the case. Is it?

It should not be the case.

( Very politic. )

Are we the first users to test this game?

Yes, you are. You're our first round of beta testers.

I see.

In terms of company hierarchy, how high up do user / game administrators like you and Hien rank? It seems that neither of you are clear on certain idiosyncrasies when they appear in the game. Are you fully divorced from the teams handling development?

We're left out of the discussions at a higher level.

I can impact some parts of the game to make the experience for the beta testers easier, but I'm still restricted by a lot of things.

I see. That must be difficult for you. You seem to want to help.
dzelkva: (pic#16614798)

[personal profile] dzelkva 2023-08-12 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I do. I want all the players to have a good experience with this game.

Is this game fun for you?

( What Zelkova asked him before, sorta. )

[personal profile] dzelkva 2023-08-13 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It is. I have a lot of fun, especially when I know that you all are having fun too.

[personal profile] tablescraps 2023-08-14 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Do you put the players' interests first, then?

( Or CC Corp's? )
dzelkva: (pic#16614766)

[personal profile] dzelkva 2023-08-14 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I do. The players come first. They bring the game life.

Does Hien think the same?
dzelkva: (pic#16611634)

[personal profile] dzelkva 2023-08-14 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but I hope he does eventually.

It sounds like there's separation between developers and administrators. If developers or other individuals in the company are adding features intended to needle players, there's not enough communication between departments for those closer to the ground (ie, administrators) to be aware of what's going on to actually address these issues, or explain apparent motive.

Such as titles being implemented for certain users when, it seems, they weren't supposed to be available during beta at all.
