3 WAY PRISONER'S DILEMMA: WILD CITY

[ The room you wake up in is barren. The floor, walls, and ceiling are all metal, and the only furnishings are a large television-sized touchscreen monitor and a massive pane of glass cutting through the room, separating Whiskers from the rest of the unit. You can beat against the glass as much as you like, but it won't break. Both the touchscreen monitor and the elevator doors are on the same side of the room as everyone but the hostage.

Once Mukuro finishes his intro spiel, the monitor display switches to a catalogue of pictures of flowers, each with their name, associated meaning, and a checkbox underneath them: ]
Amaryllis (Red&White) - Talkative
Baby's Breath - Purity of Heart
Calla Lily (White) - Maidenly Desire
Camellia (Red) - Perish with grace
Camellia (White) - Waiting
Cherry Blossom - Transience of all things
Foxglove - Insincerity
Hydrangea (Blue) - Heartlessness
Iris - Faithfulness
Lantana - Change of Heart
Marigold - Despair
Morning Glory - Willful promise
Mountain Laurel (Red) - Ambition
Oleander - Caution
Poppy (Red) - Fun-loving
Poppy (White) - Rejoice
Poppy (Yellow) - Success
Tulip (Red) - Fame/Charity/Trust
Yarrow (White) - Conflict

Right. And you could guess based on what you think another unit or the general consensus of the community is, but that's a guess. A more educated one, but it leaves the base premise the same. But since we don't have any other information and there are varied temperaments and honestly, how many units can you clearly define by intent and mood?

So basically people are gonna hear what they wanna hear so they can feel comfortable makin' the choice they were gonna make no matter what? So the flowers are pointless.

Would your decision waver based on the flowers shown?
shutthefoxup: (I'll never soften my grip)

[personal profile] shutthefoxup 2018-07-21 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, that would be stupid.

So, there you have it. Two pointless rounds that come down to random chance and people trying to make logical sense out of nothing. It isn't even that interesting since it's a double blind situation.
shutthefoxup: (Pop the pretty question right now baby)

[personal profile] shutthefoxup 2018-07-21 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Now I'm double annoyed...

[personal profile] zugzwange 2018-07-21 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's all there is to it. We may as well turn in.

[personal profile] zugzwange 2018-07-21 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, it's not like the end result could be changed too much regardless.
shutthefoxup: (Do you still believe in one another?)

[personal profile] shutthefoxup 2018-07-21 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
They're just gonna think we're dicks no matter what we do then?
