Good Cause Simulator: Lilis/future is now (saturday)

[idolpro]

[ You’re in a sleek room full of all kinds of sci-fi dials and knobs. You feel like you’ve been here a long time with these people around you, and that you have a lot longer to go before this is all over.

You can hear the distant sounds of the station creaking due to shockwaves from the fighting outside. What is going on in this galaxy? Well, it’s not very important to you. What’s important is surviving.

You have a job to do. ]

SPECIES DECISION - PICK ONE

[idolpro]

Human: They’re human and shit!

Humans But Some Sort Of Animal (Less): Kemonomimi! Choose an animal.

Humans But Some Sort Of Animal (More): Furries! Choose an animal.

Insect Hivemind: Scary monsterbugs that all think as one!

SYSTEM X4-100: Many AI! One groupthink digital space!

Revenants: A bunch of ghosts. Or maybe slimes? Slimeghosts! But for some reason they need all the stuff living things do...and they can die?

Floaty Gross: Docile floating gas bladders. They’re very cute! Don’t make them angry.

MAGIC.JPG INC: Shitty fairies! Don’t trust them! They’re a megacorp and get mind altering glitter everywhere!

Effervescent Flora: Plantlife, but with an attitude.

[great.]

So, we're not alone.

Anyway, inclination's to go with Human unless someone wants to live their best pretend species life.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

... Actually, we can cross off the Hivemind.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[theyregooddogs]

Sorry to 'cramp' your style.


And humans, sure.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[weenwoon]

AI might be interesting.

[Says the community-based alien(?).]

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[runawayprince]

Guess not.

[He shrugs.]

I've got no preference. We're already human so may as well stick to that.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

Not the first time I've had to work with other teams.

With any luck, it won't be as much of a shitshow this time.

STATS

[idolpro]

Population: 50
Prosperity: 50%
Sustainability: 50%
Readiness: 50%
Status: Healthy

CURRENT JOB: Asteroid Miner
POINTS SALARY: 10
ABILITY: MINING LASER: You can fire the mining laser, gaining 10 extra prosperity but with a chance to mildly injure every member of one random unit with the same job and lowering their sustainability by 10.

ALLOCATE POINTS

[idolpro]

You may allocate your Asteroid Miner points to: Prosperity or Readiness

Will you pay taxes this year?
Will you use your job ability?

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

Would rather avoid group thinking species. We're all individuals here, and if there are negative externalities based on species? That's one I'd like to avoid.

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

Your species’ planets have a serious pest problem. Rodents (Large) and Locusts (Innumerable) ravage your crops and food stores, leaving people with nothing to eat. What do you do?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

The war against The Others rages around you - you're not sure why it started or how, only that one of your species' planets was completely wiped out, with no provocation. You can't help but feel you need to do something about this...but what?

Do you take action, or realize that there's not much you can do to affect things besides your job?

DISCUSSION

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

Give or take. So far, you look right, princey.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[theyregooddogs]

We'll hold up our end as long as you do . . .

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[dumbjockenergy]

Definitely not insects. Maybe the AI...?

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[weenwoon]

Hmmm... I would argue that groupthinking also allows for instantaneous information transfer, but I've no real objection against being human.

You'd look cute with dog ears, though, I think.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[weenwoon]

[SOLIDARITY...............]

I'm curious about it, too. But I think we are the minority here.

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[runawayprince]

'Princey'...?

[Jason pls.]

What made you want to pick Human in the first place?

Re: SPECIES DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

You know anything about this kinda game? Feels a bit like taxes, which means actions got consequences.

I'd like us all to survive. Spare the kids.
