Would be interesting if it turned into a ground-hog day.
Hooray for mental illness! I'm pretty sure we may have one, but we simply don't realize it. Actually, all this discussion might be seen as some agitated mumbling on our part. Maybe that's why no one likes us. It's because there are too many "us"es
Is everyone agreed that we check out the experiment?
This would be funny, if our guy was actually crazy, and we were all his mental personalities arguing.
I say since we have time, we give the front page, and classifieds a thorough looking through, rather than the cursory glance we did on the bus.
Yep Seconded...
Sit down at a near by city bench..... Read the paper from front to back thoroughly
No! You forgot to to mention your desire to graciously offer your seat to more needy pedestrians!
Screw them lol this is the inner city lol.
[i]Find the bus to CCRunner's house, give him all our money and become his eternal slave. Pick up some Fritos with onion dip on the way though[i]
(mistake is on purpose)
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I think we should be polite, but not to a fault. Hopefully we can read the paper pretty fast...
I really dont see how sitting on a city bench reading the paper, could be seen as offensive in anyway shape or form lol.
It's a bit tough to find, but eventually you see an open city bench and park yourself on it, opening up the paper.
The front page section has the usual claptrap about Congress and the healthcare push, etc. There are also items about them beginning an investigation to see where $15 billion slated for military research and development went, global warming, the winter weather surge all across the country, and the fallout from the Christmas terror plot.
You have already read the local section.
The business section contains the usual boring information about the stock market. The recession is still impacting most companies. There is a small item about Systech Industries' rise to prominence over the past several months, but the biggest feature by far is on the incoming all-out war between Apple, Microsoft, and Google.
The Sports section has a feature on the Cardinals' injuries in Week 17, as well as the usual items on the Suns and Coyotes.
The Entertainment section has a box office report on Avatar doing so well and an update on Tiger Woods.
You have already read the Classifieds.
15 billion dollar for military research? Hmm...
Well that told us nothing lol.
I say we go to a dairy and get some food n supplies before anything else...
[Language please - GH]
We could be where the money went.Quote:

GH... Can we check the classifieds again to try find a hyponosis performer? I think we could get some pretty valuable info from that....
Perhaps go to a phone booth and look one up in the yellow pages?
I think we need to look around and see what stores are in our immediate vicinity so that we can plan our shopping, job hunting, and explorations accordingly.
Agreements?
Yep thats quick and easy...
Take a look around.... observe your surroundings
Office buildings. People. A couple of trees.
I still say we check out the experiment. We're gonna need cash sooner or later and this is our only way to get it at the moment
But if the psychologists are in pairs of two with hands of blue, we run away screaming like madmen.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
GH seems to really want us to go to that experimental lab. I say we do it.
but then what are............ the consequences?!Quote:

seems I missed a page or 2 :laugh4:. orders to follow,.
Let me guess, these are important GH? :laugh4:Quote:

I agree with the first and last Mith, but I think the Christmas terror plot is from reality, i.e. the guy who tried to blow himself up on Christmas day.
We're not going to the police. Imagine what would have happened if Gordon Freeman had asked the police or the Black Ops for help. That's right, we'd all be dead. So I don't want to hear anymore of that hating on Dr Freeman, hear me?Quote:

I don't agree with the experiment, but if you guys insist, you can ask around shops personally for jobs and at least find out why there is a shortage of jobs, if there is one.
Also, GH only mentioned that job once, I don't think he really wants you to take it, its yourselves that really want to take it.
Doubtful. There is a recession.Quote:

Are you sure you wish to proceed?
:sweatdrop:
I would italized no now if it were me, but I'm out numbered by people that like the idea of being guinea pigs. :beam:
But I guess, well at least it would be interesting even if we die or something.
yes, proceed.
I just like to remind nobody in particular that our orders were to inquire about what exactly it entails, and not to accept to take part in anything. :sweatdrop:
Yes, I too thought that was the plan... to inquire not to take part.
We are doing that, the "yes, proceed" was me thinking of walking in to inquire, etc. Not actually to do the experiment. I think there is writeup about what is inside, etc, first.
Being a subject of psychological experiments myself, any legal and ethical study is basically so harmless, it is on the point of "fail". If this was the 1960-70's or something, then we might have to actually worry about anything harmful. (such as thinking we were killing a person, when we didn't and it was a recording)
Walk out the elevator and tell the receptionist you're the new psychologist, ask where you have to go to work on the experiment.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
If asked about your qualifications, say you have a Degree in Biological Psychosomatological Science from the People's University of Pyongyang
It's so impressive, she'll just accept it.
I wouldnt trust a degree from North Korea lol.
Nice! small adjustment:Quote:

systech not a real comapny and it obviously used this 15 billion.
ask the women if this is the systech building if she says no, wink and make out as if you were joking
Check wallet
Wouldn't a better idea have been report your amnesia case to the cops? While we were still in Surprise?
You know, with the amount of fail in some of these orders, I am surprised GeneralHankerchief doesn't partly just give up. :beam:
Clever. Mixing the useful in with the implausible.Quote:

Yes, proceed as ordered above
They did this in Phantom Hourglass when you were about to get a question right. And 146 rupees.
GO! Come on! We'll get a purple rupee! I mean 50 bucks!
Proceed and enquire about the psychological experiment. Ask her if she knows any information, if she doesn't and direct you to the location where it is. Go to that location and speak to psychologist. When you see the psychologist, enquire about the psychological experiment, the nature of it, request the participant information sheet to read, and check it has been approved for ethical study, making sure it follows ethical guidelines which all legitimate psychological experiments have where the participant can quit the experiment at any time.
What's the inventory right now?
Yes, proceed. Pretend to be a psychologist working on the research. If asked about your qualifications, say you have a Degree in Biological Psychosomatological Science and that Systech sent you
You enquire about the psychological experiment.
"Ah, yes," the receptionist says. "I'm sorry, but that's been completed a few hours ago. Don't worry, we didn't get very many participants though and we'll be doing it tomorrow if you're still interested."
You exit the building and find yourself back on the streets of Phoenix.

This is sabotage! Where are those mod powers when you need them, I need to edit a post...
There are four different types of people playing this game.
- Jason Bourne: This character is Jason Bourne, you are are guiding him through working out this plot.
- Naive: These people have no regard to what the situation could be, and probably end up in a body-bag very quickly.
- Worriers/Overly Cautional: These people would make you believe the bus was infested with man-eating plants, your water bottle is poisoned, underwear gnomes has stolen that close to your skin. These guys ultimately want you huddled in a cardboard box all game.
- Clowns: Argubly, these people could be argued not to be playing the actual game other than cause mischief and messing up plans by randomly coming up, spraying alll bystanders with a golden shower and leave everyone else to pick up the pieces.
Looks like we wont be back tomorrow.... Since we'll be arrested for throwing rocks at babies lol.
Report to the nearest police station and figure out who you are. If they'll wont help you, fart in their general direction and call their father a hamster to get arrested for a night so they'll have to look you up in the system.
My name...is Michael J. Caboose...and I...hate...babies!Quote:

I suggest a system. A group of players who seriously want to contribute Jason Bourne style, take turns with the orders, so there isn't any conflict between them and the game runs smoothly. They can also discuss overall plan together.
This also keeps away those annoying clowns, the worrywarts and Mr. "Hi, Police Officer, I just transpass and stole from that house over there when I lost my memory, could you help me?"
I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I don't think you nor anyone else should get any priority over anyone ele regardless of your ideas. I think that actual discussion is preferable to us running around spy_style when we ae CLEARLY NOT a suave smooth talking spy, we're a normal fraking guy.Quote:

Seconded.
I will do what GH did in my Mafia game if you continue. :cry: :cry:
in what way shape or form did my suggestion sound like molestation? seriously, if systech makes you think of sex.......:dizzy2:Quote:
Uh, no. We already tried potential molestation as a tactic, and it didn't work.

I think we should move to least likely area to bump in to babies.
We don't want some of our split personalities throwing rock at bright future.
Now heres a theory. What if the amnesia is because of our split personalities?
Perhaps one of our identities (Maybe GH) was trying to break into the house or something and we took over.
Explore the area, being careful not to offend anyone or do anything the least bit illegal. If a baby carriage is found, drop, don't throw, rocks. Take note of any signs that would give any hints about anything
I think finding a police station would be a good idea. We can't just keep wandering forever. If we were Jason Bourne people would be trying to kill us by now, and we would be having flashbacks.
Indeed.
Ask directions for the nearest police station and once there report you are suffering from some kind of amnesia, and you have no idea who you are.
I wonder if we're some sort of well known criminal or something, and the old lady was just too blind to realize, or too willing to give us a second chance. Systech probably doesn't care about us.
What if we're just some regular guy who was abducted and took a hit to the head and was left in a random house?
Yeah, it'd be funny for us dodging the police for no reason.
It would be an amusing twist if going to the police station = you find out who you are, you go home, you live happily ever after.
If we go to the police, I highly suggest we don't mention the waking up in some one elses house.
