Some talks:

I can't help but tell this story. There is straight-up insane patron of a bar I attend in Minneapolis called Bullwinkle's. He is always there. I can't remember his name which is too bad.

Here is his deal. He pays you one hundred dollars and he tattoos a picture of his face on you. This has conditions. By taking his tattoo you joined his army. At some point in the future he will call you to rise up against the forces of capitalism.

I will print this out to bring in today as well.

I want nothing more than for this to be torn to pieces so the most prominent logical flaws will be solved, and I am sure, as you will see, you’ll find many. Enjoy........................

I am settled on my premise, which is unfortunate as it is entirely preposterous. However, I assert emphatically that we live in an increasingly preposterous world, and there is nothing I aspire to more in creative writing than emphatic preposterousness.

facade is crazy. i've played one round so far. i thought they didn't hear what i said at all, because they almost never responded to me. but then, a little way in, trip said "oh, i've heard what you've been saying tonight" and then pretty accurately listed off a few things i said. the ai can't be that good - they haven't made a program that can come close to passing a turing test yet, i don't think. still pretty impressive. something about the gameplay is really engaging, in a way i didn't find with adventure or zork.

I thought I would make this a new thread so it would be a little more immediate and present.
