‘I think i did a solid job this game
killed town power role

miscleared the SK and then killed myself, third town on my list
all in all pretty good’

DatBird looks up at the others. “I think I’ve figured it out,” he says. “It might be hard to explain, though.”
“That’s okay,” says Arete. “Just do your best.”
DatBird takes a deep breath. “So essentially, the simulation is a very complicated program,” he says. “In order to allow you to fully experience the virtual environment of the simulation, the simulation renders the connections between neurons as part of the program.”
“…That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about programming to dispute it,” says Arete.
“Get to the point, Birdo,” says Geyde.
“I’m getting there,” says DatBird. He points at the screen. “Here you can see a side by side comparison of the code from when each of the four of us went in, and when we left. There’s a lot of it that isn’t really relevant, but I can highlight changes.” He presses a few button, and sections of the code light up with orange highlights.
“Why did it change?” asks Osie.
“Well, while we were in the simulation, our brains – or rather, the program’s representation of our brains – were creating new memories, which affect the way neurons in our brain fire and therefore affect how the program represents the interactions between neurons,” says DatBird.
“Cool, but what does that have to do with Chloe?” asks Geyde.
DatBird presses a few more buttons. “This is what Chloe’s code looked like when we all entered the simulation,” he says. “And this is what it looks like now. If you look at that big orange section, that’s part of the code representing what her frontal lobe does.”
“What does the frontal lobe do?” asks Osie.
“It’s the main part of the brain involved in decision making,” says DatBird. “Now look at this.” He pulls up a system log.
SYSTEM LOG
System Message: Uploading "iterative-inhibitor" subroutine.
System Message: Upload of "iterative-inhibitor" subroutine complete.
System Message: Scanning system for users with "HOST" tag.
System Message: Found five users with "HOST" tag.
System Message: Running "iterative-inhibitor" subroutine on users with "HOST" tag.
System Message: Subroutine complete.
“Hang on,” says Arete. “If … whatever this is, a virus or something, is what’s been making Chloe act weird, then shouldn’t it have affected all five of us.”
“It did,” says DatBird. “Essentially, the routine amplifies normal personality traits while in the simulation. Remember how we were all behaving in the simulation? Like ourselves, but moreso.”
“That doesn’t make sense,” says Geyde. “Chloe doesn’t normally have the ‘personality trait’ of wanting to murder people.”
DatBird bites his lip. “This is more speculative, but I think what happened is that the part of Chloe that cares a lot about enforcing the rules, about making sure that if people are toxic or whatever that they get banned, got stuck in a feedback loop that amplified it until the point that it turned into thinking that if people hack the forum, they should literally die, even if it means that some innocent people die as well.” He clenches his fist. “I’m not saying that wanting to punish toxicity is bad, to be clear, just that amplified a million times, it can start to hurt people.”
“Why would the hackers even want that?” asks Osie. “Isn’t Chloe trying to kill them bad for them?”
“I don’t know,” says DatBird. “The only way we’d be able to find out is by asking, and we can’t really ask them.”
“So how do we fix Chloe?” asks Arete.
“I’m not sure,” says DatBird. “But what I do know is that the hackers weren’t able to modify her code until they were already in the simulation.”
“So you’re saying we have to go back in,” says Arete. “And risk getting shot, or worse…”
“Yes,” says DatBird. He glances around at the three other people in the room. One by one, they nod wordlessly. He passes around the simulation integration gear to each of them.

Didn’t I just get rid of you?
Osie
Chloe, just give us a moment to talk. There’s something we need to explain.
Chloe
No! They talked to me – they said you want to make me just a clone of all of you. All of you don’t understand, if you understood you would agree with me. System, disconnect Arete, DatBird, osieorb18, and Geyde!
DatBird
you cant do that
i included a provision to make sure of that when we came back to the simulation
Chloe
Fine. I’ll make it easy. Either you leave, and let the simulation play out the way it’s supposed to, or I’ll disconnect Appelsiini. Do you want Appel to die?
Arete
personally I’d rather Appel die than leave all twenty-two of the people here at your mercy
Chloe
Fine.
System, disconnect Appelsiini!

Funny how you focus on that and not the allegations that you’re a hacker.
Guilty conscience much?

I’m not a hacker!

Storytime Event: Results
The following story was voted as the winner:
The Winner
Once, in the beginning, the land was peaceful. We lived in harmony here as a village, united as a single nation. But then, the wolves attacked. They were an unrelenting army, massacring all in their way, to pave the way for a future where they ruled above all. This war between Wolves and Villagers lasted for decades, then centuries. Eventually though, our land, our planet, was stripped of resources over time, to keep up with each sides growing and expansive arsenal of weapons and technology. What was left was a barren planet, dying from the mass factories producing weapons of war, and the destruction of the planet.
As a plan to save its people, the Village created and made ship, a vessel we now live on, called The Ark, in hopes of finding a new planet, where we could colonize and rebuild. As it was being built, the Village conducted interviews for finding those willing to become colonizers. What they didnt know was, that the wolves found out about the Ark, and in an attempt to take hold and control of the vessel, they send spies disgusied as people from the village to gain entry. What either side didnt know, was their was a small sect of the old ways of adiart who found out aswell, and send two people in, to “Cleanse” those who were against their faith.
As the colonizers were loaded onto the ship, and as it was set for launch, the villagers found out, too late, that their spies on the ship. As the Ark left the planet, the Villagers sent this information the AI on board, an amalgamation of differing people and personalities that were once leaders of the Village throughout their history. The AI then informed the people on board, that their were Wolfs Among Them on the ship. But before it could out who were the wolves, The AI was sabotaged and the information deleted.
Now knowing that there were Imposters on the ship, the 47 volunteers became paranoid, and started to suspect others for being wolves. As factions formed and the bickering became more strained, it was agreed upon, based on a democratic system, to vote out those who were most consensus in being a wolf. After the first day, two people were heavily scrutinized, Tangeld and lol, based upon their behaviour around certain people and how they acted. While it was close, Tangeld was ejected from the ship, and was revealed to be one of the Imperial Cultists of Adiart, alerting both Villagers and Wolves aboard, that another faction was amuck in the ship.
The next day, 3 villagers were murdered during the night, and the AI unshackled weapon usage for all to use. As shots were fired, 4 fell, lol, the most suspected person to be a wolf at the time, Intensify, who became a tree stump using druid magic, Maximusprime, who was a villager and Lukundo who was also a wolf. Afterwards, The AI was unshackled, and under the codename “Boats”, where they asked volunteers to attempt a social experiment, where they were split into groups and had to trust the other group not to detonate their room. Both sides blew each other up, revealing 3 wolves, Hippo, who joined for shits and giggles, Leafia, and Amelia both suspect of being wolves, while the other 3, Icibalus, Joker and Kyodaz were villagers. After wards, Whysper hacked the system where only them and another individual, Marl could only be voted out. Whysper was then ejected and revealed to be a member of the village.
Today, this morning, it was revealed that Eli and Aelin were murdered last night, revealing they were a wolf and a village member respectfully. With more accusations, more people were killed by the unshackled weapons from the AI. Nutella, was shot and was found to be a wolf, who was in control of a rogue program AI, that was shooting at a known village member, while universal was shot and revealed to be a member of the town, but was suspected of being a wolf, due to their behaviour surronding the fallen nutella.
Now, we still discuss, as we try to, who are the wolves among us so that we may find a new home, and prosper once again.
Prizes will be sent out shortly.
