Generation Legacy the Next Generation of OOC

It's a world full of crazy superpowers. For all we know, Mark's single-handedly made spandex jumpsuits the thing to wear for the cultured boy on the go. Ryan could even be popularly seen as the nicest elite alive.

People are weird about celebrities.

Yes, they are at that. As long as Ryan doesnt go and make the speedo popular. I might have another reason to dislike him.

Oh, and sorry Cassie & Kelly, you're not gettign saved from the riot act by Timbo & crew deciding to pay a visit. He's calming down and doing research on his own for now. Which might put his paying Jun Min a call back until she's done with the lot of you.

Chances are this is quite true

Mark, is an international sex symbol.

Kelly asks, also hoping it was alright to record her conversations with Paragon and the others. She figured that maybe getting Anika and Mark, or Paragon to say they knew Bishop didn't do it would cause enough of a stink that they'd maybe let him go, she doubted it, but it would at least clear him from being a genocidal maniac, like well, Genocide.

This is ironicly funny considering that one of Kelly's beefs is the fact that she is being constantly monitered but doesn't seem to have a problem recording other people's conversations more then likely without their consent.

Meh, recording him for 1 conversation to set right his framing someone for murdering 10 million+ people is a bit different then putting an entire school on 24-7 surveilance, indefinitely.

Bishop has been framed only in the court of public opinion...and quite frankly, I imagine he's already got a lifetime sentence there. And it's not really in the UN's interests to release information about Genocide and Overseer.

Yes they are different. One is illegal and the other is not.

The institute (I would believe) is not a public place and can set their own rules. The monitoring is not done in any secret way, no one is unaware that it is going on. Also its not like they are doing it to a select few either, teacher or student, they all are monitored. I would also belive that most private companies/corporations probably do the same thing, just not to the same level just due to the lack of technology on their part.

There are two interesting questions here. 1) would the guarantees we are used to as residents of developed democracies even exist in Eritrea where the Institute is located? Eritrean law would seem to be the relevant one for any surveilance. 2) if local law does not apply then the Institute must be extraterritorial, like an embassy or an old time treaty port. If that is the case, what law does apply? If it's just basic international law, then we have very few real guarantees as persons. International law is mostly about the interactions of states and tends to be both vaguely defined and poorly-enforced.

While it's likely that as an ordinary thing the UNJE extends most of the usual human rights provisions, it's possible that this is seen more as a moral favor than a claim we would have against it should such grants be ceased. Further complicating things for us team members is that legally we're probably seen to have forfeited a large number of our rights by signing the contracts. I expect that if Paragon really wanted to he might bring us up before courts-martial instead of packing us off to the Hague or something.

...but now I'm just speculating about entertaining technicalities.

This is correct, everyone knows that SARAH is watching; everyone is under surviellance, I prefer the term security monitoring.

As far as Eritrea, it is a developed Democracy at this point and the Institute abides by the local laws. I have just glossed over it, and made it as simple as possible for the game without bogging down in details.

And Hammerhead is right, it isn't in the UNJE's best interest to start divulging info about Overseer or Genocide at this time without causing a panic that could destabilize everything they have worked for...

oh and the situation in America is not much better

You know, a friend and I have considered what a society where the height of male fashion was tights would end up looking like. We ended up with an odd sort of superhero setting totally obsessed with amateur sports for both the usual reasons and as a personal fitness program geared towards looking good in those oh-so-stylish tights. We figured that in such a global social locker room, notions of personal space have probably taken a hell of a beating.

Sorry, Toki, I didn't realize the new edition still uses that archaic version of delay. I guess I should have refocused/delayed, my bad.
