Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Apr 02, 2013 11:12

*Crzzt*
I've stabbed at the '3' button. Nothing happened yet.

This is cozy isn't it? Not much going on is there? It's very white.

I wonder what happens if I mash Grim...s head against the number panel?

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11899

I am in a room with 16 numbered buttons, is it a lift?
Are we to assume that these correspond in some way to 16 people?

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Apr 02, 2013 11:21

Nice assumption. Maybe the buttons that we press mean that we're voting someone off? Or giving them powers?

I don't know.. Has anyone asked to press a button yet? I have.

I was going to suggest that it may be a idea to avoid the buttons, but if people have already started mashing them then that idea is made invalid.

I haven't pressed any other than the intercom to talk to everyone.

Seems like a solid assumption that each number corresponds to a room/player.

Are we going to share with each other which numbers we are pressing? may give us a lot more information to go on in the days to come.

Go on! Press a button.. What's the worst that can happen?

We should all agree to press the same button to see what the buttons do, but it requires everyone agreeing.

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Apr 02, 2013 11:50

Me and Grim... might already have messed that up.

Presumably only some people's buttons are actually wired up to do anything, so if everyone hit the same button, you'd have no idea whose pressing actually did it. If there was any observable effect at all.

What makes you presume that? I've got no more information than there are 16 buttons.

Which buttons did you press then, then?

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11899

Alternatively, we could press every button?

I've not pressed a button. Because I'm not a loon.

Now I'm suspicious that my suggestion of a joint enterprise to figure out the buttons has been dismissed without a proper explanation.

I was all for it but I've already pressed one, and so has Grim...

Maybe we should all commit to pressing the others?

I'd venture that mpeople would unwilling to reveal which buttons they had pressed, lest there were negative effects arising from said pressing.

Also, lying about which button you had pressed could be dangerous dependant upon the outcomes.

Of course, the best thing for the group would be for all of us to agree to press a single (different) button each, but that would be like herding cats.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14419

If we all press 3 or 16 now then we'll have at least some focused result to weigh up on the next day rather than mashing all the buttons and (potentially) getting a variety of results that are difficult to interpret.

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Apr 02, 2013 12:50

I don't mind saying which button I pressed because we don't know anything about them yet. I agree though, we should all agree to press different buttons. Go on.. pick one!

Not dismissing a joint enterprise, dismissing the idea of everyone pressing the same button. For example, we all press button #3, and you die. What have we learned? #3 referred to you, and somebody had the power to kill him. Knowing you were #3 is now useless, because you're dead, and we've got no idea whether one specific person pressing the button did it, or whether anyone pressing that button did it, or whether it needed a certain number of people pressing the button to do it.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14419

No! The same button!

The only benefit of different buttons would be for a person or group to mask their own selfish intentions.

You'd know that the buttons correspond with players for a start.

If that was true, and then everyone pressed a different button we'd all be wiped out in one night.

This only holds true if everyone had buttons that were wired up.

Buttons that aren't wired up? I hadn't even considered that...

I did say that on the last page.

Only works if people are honest and in a similar position of not knowing anything beyond a simple win condition.

ose are odds I wouldn't bet on.

Only a Diabolical mind could surely conceive of such a twisted game (not sure if that is the right word? Would say prison, but I know I have done no wrong.) as this, therefore the buttons could do any number of diabolical things. Possibly if the correct sequence is typed in we may all have Glee piped into our 'room'...*shudder*

I am very wary of pressing the buttons.

How? If everyone presses the same button* and something happens to someone, how does that tell us anything other than something can happen to people?

*something that can not happen at this stage due to at least 2 people having already pressed at least 2 different buttons

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Apr 02, 2013 14:07

I might have a button marked 'Kill all subjects'*

Should I press it?

* I do not have a button marked 'Kill all subjects'

Following on from Bobby, this is an assumption, unless you have other information. A not unreasonable assumption, but an assumption nonetheless.

If you lot don't want to press any buttons, then what about a lynch?

All I know, is that with 17 similar looking Buttons in this room, if Cinderella pops in I hope she fancies a bit of variety.
