I'm gonna show them who you really are

You know how we've been asking questions to learn what characters are in the dark? Well, it's time to turn the lights on.

TELEVISION

While battle royales are lots of fun, everyone needs a commercial break. And it is up to you, the players, to provide those commercial breaks to each other.

In the past week or so, everyone signed up for a choice or a surprise has been asked what their price is. Most have answered. But remember, everything is recorded.

So, at player discretion, you may post this choice (and any others you see fit) in the logs comm. Doing so before the 31st (the ending day of the plot) means that you are allowing this choice to be visible on the assorted television screens available in the area. That's right: whatever you post can be seen by other characters.

Now, long conversations can be boring, so if you choose, you may actually post edited versions of the answers given. Nothing can be changed by the Machine – it can't put words in your character's mouth – but it can cut things out and perhaps make the conversations more or less incriminating.

FORMATY STUFF

You can C&P it directly (cutting out OOC notes obviously) or you can transform it into third person prose or whatever you like to make it look nice and neat. You can get creative with how you want to do it – fizzing out noises at the parts that are cut, or smooth transitions, or blank out the computer's part and only show your character's side, or the reverse. You're also free to elaborate on and correct bits of your side of the RP if you feel it needs to be fixed up before posting. (Just don't put words in the computer's mouth!)

You could also post it in the main comm if you really want. (It could be fun to see someone responding to images of themselves on a screen!) We only suggested the logs comm because we felt it would be neater.

LAST PLOT BIT

We'll be trying to get up the last plot thing on Saturday morning or night.
