Q&A

Have a question about the Enrichment Center? A Knowledge Conveyor has been informed of your situation and will be with you shortly. Do not struggle against the Knowledge Conveyor. Do not tilt the Knowledge Conveyor to an angle exceeding 45 degrees. Do not resist being placed on the Knowledge Conveyor Belt.

Or, you know. Just comment to this post.

Very quick question! I have looked at team based RPs like this before, always with much fondness and longing, haha, but! I am UK based, and quite often that doesn't allow for much timezone correlation. In more freeform RP that isn't such a problem, but when it comes to team-based activities like the sort that would (presumably) transpire here, I've always assumed that would become an issue. I'm consistently likely to not be online for the duration of team games (and I work during the day so can't even afford to stay up too late except a couple of nights a week). How is that going to work out in the case of a game like this? After all, I really wouldn't want to penalise a team with my presence, you know?

I absolutely accept that I just might not be viable. That's okay! I certainly wouldn't expect anything to change of account of my interest (and heck, I might still ultimately decide I don't have enough time anyway). But I thought it couldn't possible hurt to ask, haha. & just to clarify, I'm on GMT (British Summer Time). IT IS 9.32AM HERE.

Thank you for your time regardless! Sorry to be a nuisance, ahhh :x

I have a question about characters with multiple personalities! For example, Echo here has 36 (and counting) personalities that she explicitly states aren't her. She has a separate personality and persona (as it were) that's just Echo, instead of Elanor Penn, Taffy, any of the other "chorus girls." A caveat is that she uses the skills these other personalities have in order to get by (e.g. Spanish from Eleanor Penn, medical knowledge from Rebecca Mynor, how to break into and out of places from Taffy. etc).

Would Echo come in with all 36 of those personalities still in her? Or would it be just Echo?

OKAY it occurs to me that re: organic life forms.

What about spirits? In this particular case, heroic spirits have 'bodies' that work like you expect them to, but they maintain their form via a flow of mana instead of just. existing on their own. Could Glados theoretically keep them around and give them clonebodies?

Question about events! Are events going to be a regular thing--every Friday at 7 or something like that? Or more like Sabra where they were scheduled at random? Also, will there be much going on before cores are around to run tests? Will it be mostly team mingling for the first few weeks?

Do clone bodies keep their canon scars? I know you've mentioned eyepatches already, but this is something that is specific but less destructive than a missing eye. (The character in question looks like this.)

[bitethehand]

Question!! When we miss a game, what's our IC excuse? '-'

[thatboyisamonster]

QUESTION since Loki is actually a Frost Giant and actually looks blue, can I keep his Asguardian appearance instead?

I've been playing under the assumption that the food comes on plastic trays/plates with plastic cutlery, but I know a couple people seem to be playing under the assumption that it's actual silverware and/or there is also glass! Can we have a clarification?

Yes, I need this info to figure out what kind of makeshift shivs I can have.

[sneasel]

This may be a bit silly, but just to check: If I wanted to app a character whose body isn't organic (like a robot/doll/etc.), would they be given an organic version of their body? Or would they be in a clone of their inorganic body?

[everfixedmark]

Just a quick "little detail" question! The points section of this journal mentions you spend points in the room, and gives a link to the ooc points doc, but it doesn't say if there's an ic list displayed anywhere in the room, or if we have an ic notice of what our points went to or anything.

In other words, if Batman wants a batarang, is there a list he can check for a batarang or would he have to (or be assumed to have) asked GLaDOS directly, and if he buys a batarang, would Superman then later glance at the screen and see -300 points - Batarang for Batman or sthing? Or is it just YOUR POINTS ARE 600 WHOOPS SUDDENLY THEY'RE 300.

Question about the first aid kits! Can there be an option for stuff like burn gel, tweezers, topical anesthetics? Like an Advanced First Aid Kit II or something? Since disinfectant, bandages/sutures & painkillers is still super basic.

[threateningflour]

I've been wondering. Is there a way to tell the time at all?

[sinkingship]

I don't know if there is an actual page for this, but can we make suggestions for things we might like to buy?

(Right now I'm thinking: - books, not just the ones in the break room? - tools (screwdriver, pliers, etc) - . . . hairties)

[fishpanties]

Do the clones heal from injuries at the same rate as normal real world humans?

[threateningflour]

I'M BACK! So. Sort of two part question.

1) Can soda cans be brought past the grid? Since they can be purchased from the team room and from the break room and all.

2) Can soda cans modified into shivs be brought past the grid? :|a

I have a question about the Relaxation Vaults. Is it possible to share a vault with someone? Or if not share it with someone can another character come into your vault if they'd like? Or is it 'NOPE SOLITARY CONFINEMENT!/lololol' ?

This shouldn't be so hard of a question to convey but I feel as if I'm not getting my point across. I hope I am. Help?

Alright, this is a weirdly complex question. In canon, Leo can constantly see gold specks from the Abyss wherever he is, and in turn that light is reflected in his eyes. Obviously this might not be the case in this world and with his clone.

I'd like to keep this effect in his eyes, so I was thinking that either the robots that were detailing the clone were ambitious in this aspect (he doesn't see the lights, but his eyes show them anyway) or that there might be some sort of minor defect with the vision of his clone where he still sees these lights (both seeing and the lights reflecting in his eyes).

Suggestions? Thoughts?


ANNNND one more question - are the team individual bedrooms modeled after the see through rooms in Portal with the same furniture or are they modeled after very clean, plain, bedrooms with a normal bed, solid walls, etc.
