An ill-advised text-based adventure:

[AcRv]

Action: Examine my own clothing, and the clothing of anyone who I can see from my cell.

[AcRv]

Action: While Especially the Lies does his thing, verbally abuse the guard to draw his attention

[AcRv]

If I can only have one action this round, use the second one.

[AcRv]

Guys, given I've got the guard focused on me, if you have any wild ideas that'll take a while to pull off now would be the time. I'll try to keep him here as long as I can.

Can I know where my cell fits into that map?

People closest to me feel free to try and keep him here too. Unless you're someone with a fantastic plan and are next to me in which case speak up and we'll figure out where to send the guard. I don't think this is the sort of game we're winning on our own. Though knowing new players are affected by our previous ailments seems like it'll come up.

If the guard does fall asleep, reach for his keys

If the guard does not fall asleep, make comments about his mother with intent to get a strong negative emotional response.

[AcRv]

I'm assuming that I'm next to Cheery Dog, given the pattern

[AcRv]

Well, the guard's still being a guard and my head hurts.

Request medical attention

[AcRv]

I would've done something, but "the guard begins to walk towards the light, heading back to where he came from." - no chance for me to get him now unless I yell at him some more. But I like the odds with the maintenence guy Had I been online I would've.

[AcRv]

You like to watch, ETL?

Didn't peg you as one of those... o_O

always gotta take it to the next level dontcha

If this happens, we have to raid the room with the security footage before we get out of here

[AcRv]

I think that we should focus all of our actions to make the guard let us out using our powers we appear to have. I'll happily take all the blame if anything goes wrong and make the guard think I'm the threat so he'll go for me first and allow you all to escape. Either that or whoever's furthest from the end without the exit. Do we want to do this? If so, should we wait for all the doctors/chefs/maintenance workers to get out before trying? Should we try on one of them?

[AcRv]

Also, the computer responds to actions as soon as it can, so if anyone does make an action now it could throw off any timings for actions that NEED to be done now. Though we can make the action "All do this" so we won't have to wait for everyone to get online to do that if we decide to.

[AcRv]

If the maintenance worker has a key, definitely. He can probably give us some makeshift weapons from his toolbox too.

Any other thoughts?

[AcRv]

Someone may have to occupy the guard as the worker lets enough of us out to overpower him though.

[AcRv]

It is both. Some actions are done by all, some actions are done by only the specific individual. Assume, however, that unless they specifically state they are doing an action that conflicts with your own, that they are unable to do your action, or you specify that it is just you, then the others will mirror your actions.

So if nobody conflicts with someone saying another player does something, they're going to be doing it, presumably.

And our powers over each other were able to make someone jump a lot higher. That was one person trying it. If all of us actively try to use our powers on someone else, then I think there'd be a chance.

[AcRv]

I dunno, we were sharing bruises. Dunno if I want to share the injuries that come with that.

Unless we send him into a mattress and the mattress through the wall. Sure, we'll have some sort of bruise, but we'll not all be dead.

I wonder if we can specify "I do this and don't share the consequences"?

[AcRv]

Wait patiently for a medical person to come into my cell

If anyone wants support for a move involving their powers just say so and I'll probably do it willingly.

[AcRv]

Action: Will myself into the body of the guard

[AcRv]

Follow the heard

[AcRv]

Alright guys, I picked my direction based on where most of you went, but now I'm committed in this direction, let's go.

Push to the front of the herd and head up the stairs, expecting to get knocked down as soon as I reach the top.

[AcRv]

Advance up the stairs at a reasonable pace, with slight caution.

Let's see who lives up here.

[AcRv]

Look around the room, and call out to ask if anyone's coming with me

[AcRv]

Head through the passageway with the binoculars.

[AcRv]

Query: have the archers seen me?

[AcRv]

Sneak behind one of the archers and grab him around the neck from behind, pulling him back a reasonable distance and using him as a shield from the other two.

[AcRv]

actually, no,

Grab the nearest archer and hurl him into the one on the left

[AcRv]

And, if possible, punch the third one in the face before he realises what's happening.

[AcRv]

Search for a decent sized rock and throw it at the archers

You better not hit me with that rock!

[AcRv]

"Letting loose" just doesn't have the same sound to it

[AcRv]

IF ANY OF YOUR ROCKS HIT ME I WILL START MY OWN VOLLEY OF ARROWS IF I WIN THIS FIGHT

[AcRv]

[/b]Grab the one I punched and use him as a human shield, pulling out his dagger and holding it to his throat, slowly retreating. If he resists, slice his throat and run.[/b]

[AcRv]

I guess I'll go for a permastun...

Pull the one I punched and throw him into the other two in the hope some sort of domino effect will occur.

[AcRv]

Grab the one who is readying his bow around the neck and slam his head into the railing (I'm just assuming there's one even though I haven't explicitly been told it's there).

If by some chance there's no railing, then over the edge with him.

Look out below!

[AcRv]

You really are a monster, are not you?

They shot first.

Though not at me.

They still shot first.

Throw one of them over the railing, and then grab the remaining one around the throat, lift him up, and ask him "how are you today?"

[AcRv]

I would've done it earlier but I didn't really trust them to not shoot me, being an escaped prisoner and all

[AcRv]

WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS, OKAY?!

[AcRv]

Ask him if he was close friends with the other two guards, and say that I was close friends with the guys that they were shooting at

[AcRv]

I don't do ego searches.

Does this make me not everyone else?

[AcRv]

but like
"view your posts" is right

there

There are several buttons along the top of the site. I don't go pressing all of them whenever I log in.

[AcRv]

I tried doing that, but I found myself logging myself out again as I gleefully opened all of them in a new tab.

[AcRv]

Maybe this is the real game.

McMenno has been planted to try and get us to react.

So me and Wall-E have lost =(
