CompCent - OOC
« on: June 25, 2010, 09:32:11 pm »

This is the OOC thread for my upcoming forum game CompCent. I am bored, so want to run one.

IC Thread

You are a group of creative sub-processes created to advice CompCent, an AI with a vastly superior intellect but who is bound by very tightly programmed strictures, blocks, and priorities. It has encountered an Unknown Event, something outside of its ability to process or respond to, and has created you in order to evaluate the event and advise possible courses of action and threat analysis.

You will post your process profile and the first five to respond will get in, the rest will go on a waiting list.

This is a roleplaying challenge, not a roll to dodge or anything like that. You are here to interact and have fun. That said, I would like some level of seriousness. Keep in mind you are dealing with an entity who is very literal-minded and has no sense of humor. Erratic behavior, failure, or worse will qualify you for immediate deletion and you will be moved to the back of the waiting list while a new player is brought in. New players can also be voted in, if the existing processes think one of them will be useful in resolving the current problem.

When created, you appear in a very basic virtual space within CompCent's memory core. You have 'physical' bodies in this space and can create and interact with tools here, but they have no bearing on the real world. As advisors, you are barred from interacting directly with any physical machinery and start with absolutely no knowledge of where you are, what is happening, or why beyond what CompCent will tell you upon your creation.

Quote from: Ochita
Process Designation: Ochita
Process Specialty: Technician
Process Description: The whole body is mechanical exept for the head with White hair and the neck eve though the neck is hidden by a large red scarf. The head has no features exept for glowing red eyes. The way "He" speaks is though a chestplate. The only other noticeable feature is that where knees and elbows would be on a normal human, they instead are just simple joints that are visible. He has an aloof personality but he is usally serious when doing work.

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

Like I said, the rules aren't even up yet. Briefly, you are AI sub-processes advising CompCent, a sentient artificial intelligence with rather rigid programming. It has recorded an unknown event and is creating you in memory to help evaluate the event.

You will show up in a virtual space once all 5 players are in, and can request data and give suggestions to the AI which it will evaluate and either perform or deny.

In essence, you are roleplaying a group of creative advisors to a rather literal-minded AI who has encountered something beyond its programming.

Basic briefing up so you can get an idea of what this is, I will expand on them later as needed. It is intended to be very fluid, not rigidly based on any rules.

That is fine, though if you want to change it now that the basics are up you may.

No problem, consider your space reserved for a while. I know it can take time to come up with something sometimes.

There's about 25 of the fuckers and the three sarge killed were at point blank range - it's got to be zombies or a bunch of really dumb terrorists with knives.

Uh, what does Compcent run? And what is a supercomputer going to do with a hand-to-hand combat specialist? Or a boozehound?

Run? Like what OS? You don't know. You could ask. It probably won't tell you.

As for the boozehound and the hand to hand specialist, well they will either make useful contributions or be deleted as inefficient. As I said, I would prefer some seriousness here but I won't outright ban any ideas. Silly, erratic behavior and unhelpfulness will get you wiped and placed at the back of the queue, and members can be voted out as well making way for new players.
