Good Cause Simulator: pep!rom!Revolution (sunday)

[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. ]

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

[Species name] space isn't exactly the best place to live. There's a moderate number of [species name] here, but some of them are talking about moving to a different station, where conditions are better. If Prosperity is not over 65 points by the end of the year this event occurs in, Population will drop by 20 points.

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

While working in the mines, you hear the sound of rushing water on the other side of one of the cavern walls. It seems distant. Do you attempt to use the mining laser to break through?

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

It would be best to change our job quickly . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

I feel like not paying taxes would bite us in the ass, so I propose we allocate our points to prosperity, and also use our job ability.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

We are going to hurt another unit if we use it. I don't think we should add to the potential chaos . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

And if we don't we'll likely get hurt ourselves later down the line, so the sooner we get ahead the better.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

We may not. There is always the chance.

Re: DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

You'll forgive me for not being very sold on the possibility of not being hurt.

We need 65 points in prosperity. Allocating our job points to it and using the ability is one way to get it. Paying taxes will take 10 points away from us from whatever stat, so we're not exactly in a position of caring about other units getting mildly hurt.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untiltheend]

I must agree with Mr Valour on this. Surely our own team's interests must take precedence over the well-being of others.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

I understand that we are pressed at the moment, but it is still worth consideration. If not now, then in the future. So, do you plan to take from sustainability?

[dipping a hand into her purse then holding out a vial, an alcheme sleeping potion]

You may need this. I am not able to manage my affliction as well when injured.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

I am another unit. Were I with Pep alone, then you would be putting us at risk.

Re: DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

I'm not sleeping in the middle of a game.

But I'll appreciate an explanation about what affliction you're talking about.

But yes, either we take from sustainability and add to it next round, or we don't pay taxes.

Re: DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

Glad to be counting on you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untiltheend]

Naturally I am aware of that.

[Her... point being...?

He's a jerk, I'm sorry.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

We do not know what will come of not paying taxes. Let us be cautious and see what we gain from it. There is a chance for water which may solve that very loss.

[holding up her black-stained hand]

The starscourge. I cannot control it as Absinthe does, so the potion is for me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

Then, we will keep it in mind for future rounds.

Re: DISCUSSION

[time5kip]

Oh. I was wondering how sleeping would have helped us exactly.

[ he just glances at Black like, would he be more for killing her than putting her to sleep mmm... ]

That's more reasons for us not to risk getting injured. But, yes, I will be putting you to sleep if necessary.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untiltheend]

Why, of course. [lol]

Now, normally I would say people get away with tax evasion frequently enough we need not concern ourselves with honesty at this point, but since this situation is rigged in a way the real world is not, if you do think not paying would be disadvantageous, then let us pay .
