Which of you people were friends with Mithrun?

I sure do agree. But I don't know why everyone is so worried. it's just a game, it's not like he's actually dead.

[secondthoughts]

Seriously? Have you not been paying attention?

Ganymede touched an object and was unconscious for 24 hours, in the hospital.

Hana couldn't feel her body.

Yael and I got migraines that persisted into the next day after logging out.

There have been MULTIPLE breaches of privacy with personal information being broadcasted through the mirrors in the funhouse, and the wind?? And scarily personal sets of armor? Which apparently AREN'T distributed by CC Corp?

And now we have an actual corpse in this game, cordoned off like a crime scene, and no one that knows this guy IN REAL LIFE can get a hold of him?

Pardon my French, but this is fucked up. Sure, it's "just a game," but that's EXACTLY why none of this should be happening. If you're his friend, then you're going to take this seriously.

[tylorific]

Wow, you've really been keeping track. That's impressive!

And oh, sure, it might all be pretty fucked up. But Ganymede is fine now, your migraines went away. Everything works itself out eventually. And they fix all the bugs eventually, don't they? I bet they'll fix this too.

Of course I'm his friend. More than that, actually. I love him deeply! But worrying so much isn't going to help anyone, not even him.

[tylorific]

Oh! What if this is a murder mystery event?

[secondthoughts]

[ He does Not care about Mithrun's love life. ]

Then maybe you should be worried for the people that will inevitably get injured after this.

If you're going to treat this like a murder mystery event and not actually help the rest of us who ARE worried, then go ahead. Don't reply to me and stop wasting my time, and the time of the people who are reading this for info.

[tylorific]

Every bug that gets fixed makes the game safer for everyone though...

But he's not responding to anyone and he's not home right now. You have all the information and you're smart. So what else can we do to help?

[secondthoughts]

Then why are the bugs getting worse?

I'm not smart, and we weren't close. Whatever info we can pool together will be better for all of us.

When was the last time you talked to him? Did he mention anything unusual or anything that stood out to you?

[tylorific]

The more you play, the more you find! All these new areas sure are ambitious too.

You're smart enough to have all those notes, and a game plan. Don't sell yourself short Mr. Hector.

Oh, well he was fine yesterday.

[secondthoughts]

[ We're finally getting somewhere. ]

So you talked to him yesterday. When? What time did he last talk to you or message you?

[tylorific]

Well... we were at the beach party. That was so much fun that I didn't really pay attention to the time.

And he hasn't answered his phone today at all.

[secondthoughts]

Okay. Then what time did you go to bed last night? Were you playing until you did?

[tylorific]

I don't really remember that either. I must've played until I fell asleep.

[secondthoughts]

What time do you normally go to bed, then? Was it later than usual? Around the same time?

[tylorific]

I have no clue.

[ AAAHHHH ]

[secondthoughts]

Okay. What timezone are you in, then?

When you've listed it out all like this.
It's quite a scary thing to look at, isn't it?
The beta hasn't even in beta for that long...

[secondthoughts]

Yeah. It's barely been little more than a month.

I dunno about you, but I have a bad feeling about all this. They should've took the beta offline for a bit after Ganymede.

[tot]

How time flies when you're having fun.
Or the saying goes.

What happened to Hana didn't help either. The time between what happened to Ganymede and Hana wasn't too long.
It has me wondering about what is happening and kind of questioning the kind of beta this is.

[secondthoughts]

[ Is this "fun?" Hector logs in nearly every day for at least a bit, but when he looks back on it all, it feels like forever... ]

You're absolutely right.

It feels like they should've ironed out these potentially harmful bugs in the alpha stage, not the beta stage. This isn't right.

[tot]

[ """"""fun"""""" ]

I know I "joked" about this before but sometimes it feels like some kind of social experience, doesn't it?
If one could be held over an online space.

But it also sounds a lot like conspiracy talk, and I know that isn't going to help anyone in the current situation.
It just makes someone wonder just how far things are supposed to go.

[secondthoughts]

Yeah. We shouldn't be sitting here speculating, because that won't help anyone. I wonder if anyone's actually tried to contact CC Corp themselves about all this, instead of going through the admins. They don't feel like much help sometimes.

[ Hmm... Gears turning. ]

Either way, stay alert and be safe. We'll figure something out.

[tot]

I thought that someone had after what happened with Hana. Did no one do it?
I know I haven't reached out to CCCorp about anything aside from accepting the invite.

But that goes to say!
I don't plan on taking things too far or leaving people too in the dark.
You be sure to do the same :-)

[secondthoughts]

I actually don't know. I'll go back and look and see what I can find.

[ After a long break, this is spooking him too much. ]

And thanks. :-)

[tot]

I hope it's good news!!!
