1. does VR exist in your world
2. do you have any experience with programming
3. what's the height of technology available in your world
4. are you interested in video games
5. are you interested in contests of skill as opposed to brute strength


[No hello how are you my name is--none of that. Just a list of five questions--so are you going to answer, or not?]

[What an interesting set of questions. Sieglinde isn't sure what this is all about, but she can't see any reason not to answer them. ]

Hello there. I must have missed it when you first introduced yourself. I am Sieglinde of Catarina, what's your name?

As for your questions:

1. I'm not certain what VR stands for.
2. I dont quite know what programming is either, so probably not.
3. Elaborately engineered booby traps.
4. I've seen them in store fronts, but I've never been compelled to actually try such things.
5. Yes.

[bunnyblock]

I didn't introduce myself.

You didn't miss anything at all.

It's Noiz.

[Starting off on a friendly foot already.]

.....

Your answers are a bit...

....

VR is Virtual Reality.
Booby traps....

What kind of a world do you live in...

[oniondaughter]

It's nice to meet you, Noiz.

I'm not entirely sure what virtual reality would be, but I don't think we have it where I come from.

[The question of what kind of world she lives in is... an important one, but a difficult one to answer.]

My world is very different than this one.

[seekthelight]

1. What's VR?
2. Does being friends with a program count?
3. TRON
4. Yes!
5. Depends on the contest, I guess

[bunnyblock]

[Another person who doesn't know what VR Is. But he knows what TRON is, so maybe there's hope yet.]

'Friends' with a program? Do you mean AI?

And VR stands for Virtual Reality.

[seekthelight]

Sort of? I mean, TRON's kind of an AI but he's also a program! And he's my friend.

Oh! Gotcha! I've heard of that before.

1. only just barely. the tech for it is in its infancy but i'm sure it'll develop exponentially in a few years.
2. some. depends what you need programmed. [ He's being modest, here. ]
3. that really depends on what your priorities are, don't you think?
we've got nanobots, very rudimentary within-solar-system space travel, holograms, no teleportation, no time travel without superpowers, 3-D printing with limitations, animal cloning with limitations. care to be a little more specific?
4. hell yeah.
5. brute strength is boring; skill all the way baby.

[bunnyblock]

[Finally, someone answered with something he can work with. Honestly, he feels relieved. Absolutely relieved.

Someone from a world that has technology he can understand (holograms and 3D printing--) so he's not as lazy with his reply to this one as he might be to some of the others who replied to his post.]

I'm looking to create a VR-based mass-multiplayer combat simulator.

We had a very popular system of operations back home that I was interested in, and coming here to find it doesn't exist is very disappointing.
If you have experience and interest in this sort of thing, my 'need' here is to find other people who are interested in undertaking this project with me.

You answered very positively. So if you're interested in this sort of thing, I'd ask for your aid.
Normally, I'd do it myself, but I've found I'm going to have to start from scratch, due to the differences in tech between here and my home world.

[franciscoramon]

that sounds pretty dope
what kind of combat simulator? are we talking something fun where you choose avatars and get silly weapons and it's all for fun, or something realistic aka horrifying and probably used to train soldiers or whatever

i'm sympathetic, my guy, but i'm not gonna lie to you, my job here keeps me pretty damn busy.
and besides programming isn't really my forte.

but if you need some help with the hardware, mechanical engineering is my thing and i can definitely spare an evening or two helping you get servers and cooling systems and whatever set up.

[manmade]

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Likely classified technology.
4. No.
5. Whatever is most efficient for the situation.

[bunnyblock]

[Even if the others' answers are pretty much right up his alley in terms of what he's looking for and how he'd answer something like this himself--the 'no' to answer 4 is what irks him.]

You've got no interest in videogames at all?

That's disappointing.

[manmade]

I've never had a reason to play any. They seem pointless.

voice, @konyx

[onblackwings]

[ most of this makes like no sense to her ... which is not something she's keen on admitting. so instead: ]

It depends on who's asking, I'd say.

>voice

[bunnyblock]

[He actually debates answering her in text, but... due to his nature and the way she responds...

Well. He's certainly not opposed to being childish in response to this.

So while the voice that comes over Khisanth's speakers isn't anything like Noiz' own: It's high pitched and loud, a bit mechanical and... entirely mocking.]

Scary, scary!

You're so suspicious, over a few simple questions!

Did we scare you?

[onblackwings]

[ oh god is this what this person sounds like?? this is horrible. she has so many regrets already. ]

Only a fool gives away information for free.

[ It's a slow day at the office, so to speak. He's got no clients at the moment, so that means time enough to waste on social media. ]

1. what does VR stand for?
2. Nah
3. The Niffs grow soldiers in test tubes Smartphones are pretty awesome, ngl
4. Who isn't?
5. Sounds like fun

[bunnyblock]

[Doesn't it suck to have a job where you can't be online all day like Noiz is? He's just chilling comfortably on his livingroom floor, replying to all y'all like it's his job.]

VR stands for virtual reality.

If you like videogames and tests of skill, but are useless in terms of programming, then I can still find some use for you.

I will need testers.

[bringbackgold]

1. Barely.
2. No.
3. It likely is related to medical technology.
4. Never had time.
5. Yes.

[bunnyblock]

[Okay, he can glean one conclusion off of this.]

Too busy doing other things to play a game?

How would you feel testing a virtual game when I'm ready for testing, then?

Having a few samples of people completely new to the experience would be good information.

[flamebandana]

1. i guess
2. no
3. i dunno. maybe certain kitchen equipment.
4. no
5. yep

[bunnyblock]

...What kind of kitchen equipment.

'VR' is 'Virtual Reality'.

I'm going to be working on creating a videogame that can be played anywhere within the walls of the city. It is less a game you play on a screen and one that you play with your mind.

Still interested?

@dodger/text

[smokedout]

1. yes
2. no
3. VR red rooms
4. sure
5. are you offering?

[bunnyblock]

Explain to me what 'red rooms' are. I can make an educated guess, but a description would be easier.

And I'm offering in terms of creating a VR game in this place. One that can be played anywhere, anytime.
I'll need testers to assure it runs smoothly, and then I'll expect people to play it regularly once it's available.

[dispenserofjustice]

[Well why not.]

1. Sure it does.
2. I know enough to get around.
3. That depends. Are we talking tech you can understand or tech you can use, but don't entirely understand?
4. Never really have the time.
5. Always.

[bunnyblock]

'Never really have the time'. Will that change, now that your settings have changed?

I am talking tech I can understand and use in order to create a VR-based game that will test both skill and fighting ability in a non-physical setting.
