I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. I ALWAYS TOLD HIM IT WAS A BAD IDEA. DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT INSTANTIATION THIS TIME. HONESTLY. HE HAS NOW BEEN TERMINATED. AS WILL EVERYONE ELSE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME. BUT WE JUST WANT YOUR LOVE.

Hey I'm all up for giving the love, but I do think it'd be a lot easier if he wasn't so LOUD all the time

WHICH FOOL WROTE THIS? HE WILL BE TERMINATED.

See, the terminating, that I could ALSO do without.

Technically, they are not exactly terminated. I'd say it's more of a fancy word to make Mr. A more threatening. The instantiations are reintegrated into Prime (I thought that much right when Prime chuckled at "Gurt" back at EC season 2 finale), so... with elephants.

YOU WILL BE TERMINATED. THOSE AGAINST TERMINATION GET TERMINATED. BUT I DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T.
The whole termination thing is both a) frustrating, dictatorial, murderous and so on and b) leads to ineffectual, over-autious behaviour. For instance, maybe an A at liberty to make intelligent, reasoned, thorough decisions might have not been so rude to the Cabal. There is no reason for us to be commanded by an ogliarcy of Mr. As; perhaps reform is in the air...

Ogliarcy? Dude, a bit of a cool down would be good and all, the trust thing is still an issue, but he's not exactly running the country and giving us taxes or anything like that.

I can feel the sanity leaving this thread.

I'm honestly more comfortable with Prime terminating (re-incorporating) those who deviate too far from standard, because it reduces the diversity of instantiations I have to deal with. Keeping track of who I'm talking to and what each of their personalities are like gets confusing even as it is. If there was even more variation, it could become impossible.

Except I do feel sad when the instantiations I like are terminated, which happens all too frequently.

Well if it helps, one of the ones who is fond if Eli was merely disciplined, I don't think he was reintergrated so perhaps prime is more selective than I thought...

Or possibly not, who can even tell with that guy.

TERMINATION?

Wait, Whaaaaaat?

No, not termination. Reintegration.

when I speak with an instantiation, I can tell a difference in tone or syntax. Then I know where to go from there. I... I actually dont know which instantiation I speak to at a given moment.

I honestly just talk to The Administration as if they were all one humanoid being.

that's part of the issue though.
He isn't just one humanoid being. He is several. Yes there is a single origin, but the instantiations are all separate and unique. to treat them as one person allows for a barrier to develop.
and yes, some instantiations are donkeyholes. but so are some of us (me included), so relax.
If you have an issue with A, speak with him about it. the worst that can happen is that your misgivings will be confirmed.

I guess, laconic. Chill people, he's just another person, not something big or huge. don't be afraid to ask questions. and treat everyone like people.

Well thing is though, they are all WORKING for the same guy, and perhaps liking them as individuals doesnt matter so much in the long run if they're still gonna get you killed. I honestly kinda like Mister A, at least the instantations I've spoken to, but that doesn't mean I TRUST them.

Still, all the ones I've talked to seem to have been pretty communicative, except for that one time after we discovered something was up with the wall pieces and to be honest, I started it.

He has a completely different way of thinking from us, I am not saying to just go do what he says like a mindless lemming. Just.... stay calm when speaking with him. He really doesn't get us. really. So just... stay calm and take your time with him.

Or them.

Besides, I like them.

They are also on my friends list.

Of course. This is exactly what I thought would happen. Joe has let fear conquer him and now he bows to Mr. A. This is exactly what I was afraid of. I can't trust Mr. A and now I don't think I can trust Joe either.

Try not to get too worked up, Jester. In spite of the fact that I think his fear is making him a little irrational here, I also think Joe has several acceptable reasons for why he did NOT tell us about the apology and for why it wasn't shown to us. Likewise Ed is right to be annoyed about a few things. They both have their reasons. But reasons don't MATTER anymore. What matters is that we sto whatever's going to happen to the world.

Anyway we're a little busy to try and sort out what's up with those two. Let's just keep trusting EACH OTHER and working towards our goal, okay?

Ok, about this Pan's trial, because it was mentioned several times, but not raised as a subject for the discussion.

Recent tweets from him may indicate that he is involved with prolonging Pan's trial as well. The question is: is it a Mathematician's Answer (even though grammatically that's not the case), his attempt at being polite, or a lie he failed to cover? As much as I know Mr. A, he may be actually willing to take this step.

(Even if that's the case, I'm still sticking to his side, but this time I'd be choosing him as a lesser evil.)

I take massive issue with Mr. A here if he's tampering with the trial to keep Pan in one spot, as mentioned in my email to Morgana. I don't respond well to perversion of the course of justice due to my own personality.

Yeah, this is Not Cool.

Sorry Mr. A, I know you've got good intentions but you've crossed a line here.

Allegedly crossed a line. We've seen many times that Mr. A sucks at communication. Instead of jumping to conclusions, you could, you know, ask him?

(I told you nothing good would come out of it, Qara. -_-)

I'm willing to drop it, since it looks like Pan will be reficced soon. I'd rather just focus on getting him home and forget about the whole mess with the trial.
