Generation Legacy: Part Three

[Agamon]

Layla is one girl, she isn't even in the same league as a system that is monitoring everyone 24/7 and recording all of it. I guess my/Clover's main objections to it are that it records in the living quarters, everyone needs a safe zone where they can be themselves without fear. If the dorms (and locker rooms) were off limits to Amy, it wouldn't be too big of a deal. Recording in the school's public areas is fine and would be pretty much expected, its the recording in the private areas that isn't kosher. And it really isn't unreasonable to think so, it isn't paranoid to think they are watching you 24/7 when they have already said they are.

My preference would be to have Amy not monitoring in private areas, but with the ability to turn her on in that area when she is needed. Like a call button being pressed to give her temporary access or something similair.

It would also help to not let the kids have access to it, even if it is limited access because it raises the specter of them somehow getting more access.

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.

I say we kill Amy. Any takers?

Amy is my best friend, she knows where the food is.

 

[Hammerhead]

Yeah, but now you know where the food is. What has it done for you lately?

The real issue with Amy and student privacy is that Elites are not ordinary students. They can have destructive powers. It's like a school where each student brings an assault rifle and few grenades to class.

A student interested in privacy could probably cripple video monitors with the right "decorations" anyway. Tape posters all over the walls and ceilings - which some people do anyway. Maybe stick thermal blankets behind them if you're worried about heat cameras. Or pitch a tent in your room.

That would be one badass school.

 

[Hammerhead]

Or just spend enough time off campus.

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

 

[Victim]

I wonder if the UN allows off campus living - a sufficiently fast character might be able to commute to school from home each day. That could get pretty funky with timezones though.

All the male students are way ahead of you.
