Generation Legacy: Part Three

[Shalimar]

Honestly, not having the monitoring everywhere would sure give me as a GM the opportunity to be more of a...well, GM. But there's problems beyond the fact that we've already established how it works.

Is Clover a rebel? If being herself means breaking rules (the only way anything would actually be recorded, or at least reported...btw, by recorded, I mean, 'saved to file', not processed, big difference there, there is no 24/7 recording), then she's gonna have a tough time getting things changed. Just sayin'... She's probably better off 'being herself' off school grounds, Amy or no, right?

The institute is going to say that safety is its the main concern. Imagine (all else being equal) a scenario where an elite teleports into Clover's room, grabs her and teleports out.

Then there's Amy's basic functions, which would not work in the living quarters, as she'd have no presence in them at all. That's kinda lame.

Whatever they believe about Amy's main function is a wrong if they think it is anything besides monitoring/recording the students 24/7. The messaging is the trojan for the spyware. Saying that it is only recorded if they do something wrong is just semantics, they are monitoring the students 24/7.

Well, if an Elite is able to teleport in grab someone and teleport out then there isn't anything you could do about it even if you were monitoring, and they most likely had hacked the system to be able to watch her movements to know where to go to grab her. That and the Elite could have just waited and grabbed her the second she left campus which would be made more frequent by the invasive monitoring.

Clovers is actually intended to be a good girl, caring, considerate, interested in law and order. A modern paladin really. She wants to join the Justice Elite, she is enamored of their mystique and the image they have of beng Knights riding around the world righting wrongs. She isn't against the thing for her own privacy and to get away with crimes and breaking rules. She is against it because she views it as absolutely wrong and reprehensible. Its the principle of the thing rather than personal benifit for her.

She'll try and set up a meeting with Dr. Hudabo and her arguements will boil down to the UN Charter, human rights, decency, and ethics.

I don't see Clover staying and being a party to what she feels so strongly against if some compromise cannot be reached. She actually doesn't have an issue with recording and monitoring in general, so long as it stays in general and not in the bedrooms of students, regardless of the reasoning. Maybe she'll pray to Pantheon

I found the mind reading girl to be very creepy, personally.

I would think that John is going to have some serious issues with her very soon.

I am kind of confused though, I doubt 100% of the student body are exhibitionists, yet they don't seem to have a problem with being watched doing the ....stuff teens do in the privacy of their rooms. Making out, masturbating, sex, etc. whether or not its recording, Amy is watching them do all of it.

Sorry, friend's girlfriend came into town and I've been given tour guide duty while he's working I'll make a new post in a minute.

Because in the grand scheme of things, speaking for Nick, he does not believe it is as bad as this. Considering he isn't exactly the best behaved kid to begin with, he really could care less, not like it will stop him from doing what he wants and someone really wants to watch him rub one out through Amy or stare at a wall then they can, though I doubt it is very exciting.

From Nick's point of view he just thinks it is a security system, nothing more, nothing less.

Plus it helps him find food.

It seemed like SARAH had pretty much the same monitoring abilities, and it wasn't really an issue last game either.

Mark turned SARAH's monitoring off twice, but yeah nobody cared. He didn't even care enough to look into whether the cameras were really off or if that set off an alarm in Paragon's office so he could watch the feed live.

BTW Aggie: I assume that since Sollir didn't post differently, we're headed towards book world?

Giving him a chance to respond. I'll try and get a few more posts in tonight.

The problem is, you mistake Amy for something alive. No one's watching. If you're not doing anything wrong, it's like making out in front of your toaster. If you are, or if any problems occur, it's a video camera. And only then. Regardless of whatever nefarious plans I have, I'm not lying here. Really. Seriously. Not kidding.

Recording children naked is quite, quite against anything I believe is right, and I won't even let it happen for pretend in a game. Trust that.

I'm sure that if Clover's dead set against it, it can be turned off in her room. I'm sure she'll need to sign some waivers and such, but no need to put up a stink. And it's really starting to get old already.

Hellboy looks interesting.

Oh and a D&D 4E game I am running may be in need of a Leader
