Why don't we call Doc to the mat on this? Post that message at the commune and ask him what he has to say for himself. Then we decide where to go from that.

I've got no problem posting the first part, though I really don't expect an answer, but posting the second part would be a no-no since the Hall is an IG forum.

Although he's said there's no IG or OOG so I really don't know how I feel about that anymore.

I wish he would tell us how many people have to complete the task.

Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to get a number, or an answer to the question about whether it's really rigged or not, until after the deadline. My problem is that if there's even a chance this is really and truly rigged, there's no way I'm going to try and convince my friends to take off work or leave early so they can help me with this.

EDIT: Then again I could be wrong.

The Doctor wrote:
What do you want? An exact number? Will that make you feel better?

How about this, exactly one quarter of the test group must upload a sign.
That's enough for me to take her to the edge and then give her rest.

50 and she is spared the cold altogether.

100, representing 100 of the members of the group and she walks out the door unharmed.

41 hours remain.

Doc.

161 people are signed up on the forum. That means he wants 40 people to post pictures in the next 40 hours.

Ain't gonna happen.

Guess I *should* post mine then... It's not like it'll make things any worse. Twisted Evil

so, let me get this straight:

1/4 of the ppl or 40 = she lives, barely, but put through a frozen hell
50 ppl = she lives, no cold, but Doc's schemes continue
most everybody (100 ppl) = game over, the good guys win

btw, everyone here is home on break, the summer semester doesn't start until the 12th, so... the 5 ppl thing might be a problem, unless i go stand in the center of campus and wait for a five person group to come by and bribe them to take a pic with me, that they have no clue what I'm going to do with it, and for a reason that will be ridiculously hard or impossible for me to explain to them...

Tables?

I think we're looking at Doc all wrong. He's not a twisted scientist, he's a killer who needs to reason away his crimes. Can we do something to harm his conscience or something to buy bex time?

[META]I know it was a long time back now but I found it funny in a very positive way that the one person who showed non-argumentative maturity in the whole age morality debate was Alice.

Not a knock at all but a major compliment to her, I have so much respect for everyone here but that was major win. Smile

I'm not trying to bring her age into this again btw LOL. I've already done that in IRC Razz[/META]

One picture with everyone's nick on sign plus landmark and five people could be a technical way to beat this.

No reaction to this what-so-ever would be another way. Especially no reaction after she gets frozen. That is what he wants, reactions. In my opinion, if we don't give him that, we win.

He gave numbers, that isn't what I asked for, so now I am going back to stick another cattle prod in him.....I have the strange urge to use his own words on him....

He wants the geographic picture so we can prove we were there. If I sign my name on any picture that's not in Miami, he'll know something's up.

This sentence strikes me as odd:
Doc quote:
Quote:
Tomorrow evening, when your task is well under way, if you take it up,


Didn't know it was negotiable whether we took on a task or not.


@Nighthawk, just trying to think outside the box....as we got stuck thinking one way for last task. Hopefully it will make others think also, and we will come up with something better.

Is there a way to unregister from the commune? We could make the numbers less...... (just another idea, don't panic) For those that can't take pics, maybe unregistering would be the same, numbers-wise.

Coffeebean,so much of what you're saying I'm finding really cluey. Over at the IG forum on page 2(yikes,mega mess of threads) there's an almost forgotten topic called "Playing by The Doc's Rules".

If you wanted to repost some of your ideas there it might kick start more creative thinking. Anyway,you got me thinking.... Cool

There's a Doc in the irc chat but he's not saying anything.
