I hear what all of you are saying, but I can't help but feel like we aren't really choosing who ends up doing what. Call me a conspiracy guy, but sometimes these numbers just don't seem to add up (when it comes to who is being chosen...percentage points of the vote)

Consider this..

42E already has the videos shot and edited. They already have the "paperwork" typed up, and they already have the hunt ready for us. If any one of them are chosen, their story is ready. So, would it really matter who we were voting on?

That was my initial thought too, but now I'm just on the fence... there are days between video releases. If they have the plot options planned out, then they can be prepared for various routes taken by the votes and other player actions (like a choose your own adventure). A couple of days I'd assume would be sufficient for focused work to film/record the necessary assets for the route being taken.
I think back to ILB with the audio drama - they were recorded on a weekly basis, and one week they made a specific inside reference to an issue from our time (difficulties with payphones), which could only make it in because they hadn't actually recorded the audio, and only relatively loosely planned the script.
I don't see why they couldn't do the same here.
But I think it could go either way, so I'm on the fence right now... *shrug*

I voted for Gennaro...
I think that Danby can be useful to help to improve the viral, and I also like Khaner, because he is presented at all times as a nice guy. I know that Gennaro has 2 kids, but that doesn't make him a better person, or a non-eligible candidate, because he has been already acepted in the experiment, and they took in consideration that (I guess). Anyway, if he is such a good dad, he shouldn't have applied as a candidate, he should be at home taking care of them. And beside that, he has said he doesn't mind to die (and he probably has thought then about commiting suicide), so he does not care at all about his family and the situation he would put them into, in the same way that if he had problems with loan sharks and debts, I guess it's because of his own wrong choices, and he didn't mind at that time to put his family into a economic problem.
I think that Gennaro is in the experiment hoping that he will die, maybe he has some kind of insurance or something, and he thinks that it's better if he dies because of the experiment, instead of committing suicide, so his family can get the money.

About if we are deciding something or not, I think that they have some ideas and some structure, they took Capelli out of the way, so he probably has some role in R2, and they need him alive. They haven't put Hale yet, so they can save him for the last weeks. I think we are deciding in some way which video we're going to get next week, and which clues / files we are going to reveal. If they have an structure about what kind of result is going to happen each week (1st melted intestines, 2nd headshot, 3rd whoknows? etc), maybe we are deciding who is going to suffer what, without knowing in advance what is going to happen next..

I think that Hale is going to be injected or exposed to the virus... but I also think that the virus reacts differently in different people, so maybe they can't replicate the result because they haven't got a clue about why it fails in some of them, and why it's a success in others, so you are not going to inject all your army, and then lose 80% of them, because you still need them. So at the end they will send those that survived as a Special Ops squad, and abbandon the Project.

Man, looking at the (relative) closeness of Gennaro and Khaner's percentages, which could continue to even up: it would be awesome if we could put the two of them in a dead tie. I wonder if they would inject them both.. Or if Cassie would actually have to stop being such a wimp-sh*t and be forced to make an actual decision.

Actually, that just made me think. Even though we're voting on who's going to get injected for the week, the real "decision" is still turned in by Cassie. I wonder if we choose Khaner whether or not she'll actually send him to the chopping block.

I voted for Gennaro

[mapmaker]

I totally believe they've already shot the videos for each possibility. Some of them seem time insensitive - for instance, the Oster video probably would have been used no matter when he was chosen. And you'd shoot it all at once, because it'd cost way too much to get the actors back for each week's shoot, let alone sets and crew.

[Verdammt]

Are we going to use this thread for everything that happens today?

The new video is up. Man that guy is just TOO optimistic; it's annoying.

[Helios87]

There's a new file in Khaner's dossier.... and there's a circle around the phrase "placement exam" and the numbers 826478 next to it... new SRPA file PE826478

that file doesn't seem to give any new info or lead anywhere though...
