Yeah, that's what I meant. Laughing
I know the game involved people that were placed in a room voluntarily and expected to face their inner demons while being studied by the film crew. This appears it's going to be a person placed in a room INVOLUNTARILY while WE study them. Seemed similar. Thanx for the clarification.


I thought that idea as well but the member stuff is nothing any of them would do. I'm sure of it.

 		Night, I understand that he took you by surprise. That said, let's be fair here. It's about three clicks from your sig to your first name. It's not like Doc is Sherlock Holmes.

I think he's making a point to all of us, showing us by this example how it feels to be watched even in a small way. As far as the PMs at HTH go, IMO we all were naive to expect anything different.

 		The Doctor
is IN?!
I'm not sure if this happens often or not, but "The Clinic" now says "The Doctor is IN."

 		I've never seen that happen before. I have no idea what it means.

EDIT: Apparently it means we can now have open discussions with the Doctor.

 		Perhaps it's an indicator he's going to start the experiment soon? I hope so...I'm getting bored of waiting.

 		Well, the Doc is fielding questions and issues everyone is having here. Now's our chance to get some answers.

 		Doc's latest:
Quote:
I would be happy to address all of your concerns, especially your precious OOG escapism.

The tests are simple and my observations noted. So let me give you some insight:

Test One:

A) Give the people a simple logistical task, with two courses of action. Watch them fracture and therefore fall short. Relatedly (and expectedly) let the optimism become pessimism as an escape route.

B) All of the established "norms" or "safety nets" of exploring other realities should be addressed and dismantled. Allowing a sense of safe-distance or fictionality is weak.
I have addressed reality.

C) All's Fair, ladies and gentlemen. If you're going to use the internet to hunt me down, how do you suppose it is unfair for me to do the same? I'm willing to be open and honest with you. Why not do the same?

I'm here for a while to discuss this with you, if you like.

Doc.

 		fair call from the doc really if that is the route he wants to take. now we know there are no boundaries it makes bit more sense. It seems like this is an arg about pretending to play and arg... if you get what i mean.

 		Okay, so the Doctor has confirmed that if we do manage to pull this off, he will in fact release the girl. This might have seemed like a "duh" thing to everyone else but I just wanted to be sure, so I asked.

 		Hey, confirmations are always good to get. I doubt he'll answer my question fully, but I was curious as to why he picked the woman he did.
