[ from hot twink to greyscale in 24 hours it has been a day. ]
... Are you asking rhetorically, about how we tied? Because I can guess. As for how it keeps getting worse... I don't know. I hope it's not the ship or whatever's causing this escalating, just because it can.
Well, I know how math works, so yeah, I can guess too. It's just insane that we managed to get a perfect split when we wanted to do the opposite of that!
[ if they'd TRIED to coordinate he's sure someone would have fucked it up. ]
You think the ship's some kind of advanced AI that evolved to become a sadist or something, or that someone programmed shit to happen this way?
It probably wasn't difficult. Did you throw your vote?
[ somewhere along the line we will try to coordinate and mess up immensely and i look forward to that day. ]
Dunno. I'm not a techy person -- I do know they don't have brains of their own, no matter what it seems like. If something's gone wrong, it's in the programming, and it might not have been intentional.
It's not like a protest vote would help anyone — aside from in this one particular instance, apparently. At worst we could end up on some random person who had nothing to do with it.
[ like him, lmao. he kind of wishes he'd done that this time, though. ]
...I know some AIs, and they, like... even if it's supposedly all algorithms, it can get weird. But this kind of feels more like a deliberate human thing, I think. Especially since the company could just stop insisting on this trial shit even if they couldn't stop the actual murders.
That's what I mean though. If people had issues voting for Sheba or Shouxue, they'd have thrown the vote elsewhere, which means tying the vote might've come down to say, four people'c choices. I get it? But if it ends up with someone innocent being thrown into the holding cells, that doesn't help anyone.
[ blunt, but not incorrect. ]
Dunno. The algorithm might've decided that this was a logical course of action, and it's just acting based on that. In which case, we need to figure out how to fix it.
but yeah fuck that if you trick him into helping you fuck up the votes when he THINKS you're asking him to help you get a confession out of the real killer you're dead to him ]
Yeah, thank god... I think Adrastea-san said they were probably going to be able to get a fourth one too, so that'll be a huge help.
They mentioned it to me as well -- sounds like by the next time this happens we should have four avaliable, so it should make things a lot easier next time people come back.
[ well. okay then, that's a bigger reveal than he expected to get here. he blinks, but doesn't look terribly disconcerted by this. there's a big difference between a guy who goes after other murderers and a serial killer, after all. ]
Huh.
[ pulls up shu's profile to read his skills again... ]
