un: Ganymede - Mithrun's case

[ganymed]

...What does have everyone have now?

It's been more than two days now since what happened.

Whatever everyone has been finding out, we should put it together, or something like that. Even as new information comes in.

As for me, I took a look at the bloody trail of footprints, which I confirmed to be Mithrun's. He didn't seem to be in any much of a rush, like he wasn't paying much mind or attention to where he was going either.

The trail of blood was only a mess due to the amount of traffic, as it is, without adding to any more prints as NPCs don't leave footprints.

Anyone else have anything more?

crackpot theory time:

Zelkova exists and is apparently a full blown AI who only really lives in Fragment. It probably took a ton of work to program him like that, right?

So what are the chances there were prototypes or older versions that were made first that might be floating around in the game files?

If he's an earlier version of Zelkova that still somehow has admin access, it could explain why he can mess with the game so much.

[ganymed]

...What.

[ damn that is sure A lot ]

[threatmewted]

I did say it was a crackpot theory.

[dissimulative]

what the fuck

[threatmewted]

What part of "crackpot theory" didn't you get?

[dissimulative]

I KNOW WHAT A CRACKPOT THEORY IS
but it doesnt excuse you for putting any words on screen!!
that said
that would be really interesting

[threatmewted]

If you have any better explanations, I'm all ears. But this game's already way crazier than it has any right to be.

[dissimulative]

i concede hanasama

[gluttoning]

Wouldn't old files like that get deleted?

[threatmewted]

Normally, yeah, but usually bugs and glitches exist in the first place because something's in the code that shouldn't be there.

For a game as complicated as this? There's gotta be a ton of coding involved. It wouldn't be surprising if something was supposed to be deleted out but some scraps got left over on accident.

[gluttoning]

wouldn't something like that be easy to fix? just find the file and put it in the little trash icon?




sorry computers arent usually my thing so I don't really get it

[threatmewted]

Think more along the lines of a 20 page paper on the history of Paris and knowing there's five exact instances of the word "Paris" that you need to find and delete, plus rewrite those sentences so they still make sense with the rest of the paper.

And also if you delete the wrong ones the whole thing turns into nonsense.

[gluttoning]

why would you only mention Paris 5 times in a paper about Paris

[hi im Barrett, 19, and I never learned how to read]

[threatmewted]

Oh my god.

No. The paper has like 200 uses of the word Paris. You have to find and delete 5 specific ones. If you delete the wrong ones the paper self destructs because I don't care enough about this metaphor to make it make more sense.

[gluttoning]

oh


like minesweeper?

[trashtier]

Sounds like a plot twist I'd come across in a game.

So...

...

Possible?

[threatmewted]

Right? I kind of hate it.

[...! ]

i think the chances are pretty likely

if it's still learning from us then it could be learning from our memories too

[threatmewted]

[How did he make the crackpot theory even worse...]

If this whole game turned out to be an accidental petri dish for a developing AI to study the memories and feelings of players, I'd totally lose it.

[insinning]

[:) you know some of his history]

it seems like it's going that way

but i don't think it's possible to record what's been seen or heard by us at least...

[threatmewted]

Gee, what a relief.

[insinning]

it is for me

[threatmewted]

I dunno, I think the rest of it sucks hard enough that it doesn't make THAT much of a difference.

[curvaceous]

[ Her single contribution: ]

Wow. I hate that because I could actually buy it being real. Lol.

[threatmewted]

That makes two of us.
