[8:24 P.M.] Sinclair

[8:27 P.M.] Sinclair

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Schofield, Kumari[133-732-0256]

[8:44 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Hey did you know too that the whole room is glow in the dark or was I just really slow

[8:46 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari

> Yes? I haven't had lights on for most of the day

>

> And you're using "or" wrong there. You can't say "Did you know about this or did I learn about it late" because those two statements in essence mean the same thing

[8:46 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> I guess I was late

>

> And apparently not good at comprehending grammer

[8:47 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari

> Grammar, with an A

[8:47 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Our whole relationship the next few months is just gonna be you correcting my bad spelling

Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Thiago Lastnameundisclosed[133-292-6026]

[8:59 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> The first elimination is coming soon

>

> What do you thinks going to happen

[9:09 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed

> I don't fucking know

>

> I think somebody will get eliminated

[9:09 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Of coures

>

> But hwat kind of criteria do you think they're hiding to pick us off with

[9:14 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed

> Whatever it was the alert said about our activities during the day

[9:14 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> What kind of activities would they be gauging on our first day though

>

> Something like how much TV we've watched? Or how much we've texted people?

[9:20 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed

> Probably one of those

——————————

Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Jae Hamilton[133-239-0082]

[9:19 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Have you wondered what the elimination criteria might be

>

> It's only the first day, I wonder what activities they're eyeing?

[9:21 P.M.] Jae Hamilton

> They also said the criteria is randomly selected

>

> And they also have enough of them to eliminate all of us

>

> So it may get really weird

[9:21 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> But how weird

>

> Like how much toothpaste we used this morning?

[9:22 P.M.] Jae Hamilton

> Could be

>

> Can you even name 144 activities we could engage in

[9:24 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> I'll think about it

——————————

Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Schofield, Kumari[133-732-0256]

[9:26 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> I've been talking to some other people about the eliminations

>

> What are your thoughts?

[9:26 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari

> Thoughts about anything specific or broadly?

[9:26 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Just in general

>

> Like what you think the criteria theyre tracking is

[9:28 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari

> Error #14: you asked for thoughts broadly and then asked for something specific

>

> But yes, I have a few thoughts to provide concerning what the elimination will look like, though nothing even remotely conclusive because we haven't seen one yet and the alert was very vague

>

> First, there are any number of ways the criteria can be measured and how it can be used for elimination. The criteria could involve how much of one activity we engage in—like cooking with the stove or watching TV—or if we engage in a certain activity at all. Maybe we could be eliminated for being the only one to sleep past noon, or it could be for spending the most amount of time on your phone, or the least. I wonder if they could use both the "least" and "most" of the same variable as two different elimination criterias. This could certainly put more interest and strategy into the game as you would always want to keep yourself square in the middle.

>

> My main concern however is what happens if there's a tie in that scenario. Maybe the criteria is watching the least amount of movies, and two people haven't watched any. I wonder if that means either they both get eliminated, or there's a runoff and the two are matched against some other random criteria

>

> There are lots of ways this can be done, to put it shortly. We'll find out soon enough

[9:32 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Yeah

>

> I guess we will

>

> Thank you for your big brain

——————————

Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Thiago Lastnameundisclosed[133-292-6026]

[9:34 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Have you talked to Kumari at all

[9:38 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed

> No I dont know him

[9:38 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Damn you should meet him

>

> The guys like a supergenius

>

> He has a whole running theory about the game he's been cooking up

>

> He seems like the perfect partner you'd want to go through the game with

[9:43 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed

> Great

>

> I;ll write his name so I know who to look for in my 140 UNKNOWN SENDERS

[9:44 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Oh his number is 133-732-0256

[9:55 P.M.] Thiago Lastnameundisclosed

> Great

>

> I'll do great things with it

[9:57 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> I have no doubt

——————————

Me. Myself.[133-697-2324], Jae Hamilton[133-239-0082]

[9:58 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> So according to someone else's theory, elimination criteria might either be whether we've done something the most or least of everyone or if we've done something at all

>

> Like if we've watched the most tv or if we're the only one to not brush our teeth

[10:05 P.M.] Jae Hamilton

> I guess that could kind of narrow it down

[10:05 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> But I'm still confused on what they're going to pick one of us off for on the first day

>

> Like we've barely had time to do anything

[10:21 P.M.] Jae Hamilton

> Yeah

>

> Sorry I am very tired right nw

>

> You know, awake for 18 hours

[10:21 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Oh yeah sorry

>

> I'll let you rest

[10:23 P.M.] Jae Hamilton

> I wonder if we could ask the system what the criteria is

[10:23 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Would it respond?

[10:25 P.M.] Jae Hamilton

> No harm in checking

>

> Hey ALERT people, how are we going to be eliminated?

[10:26 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Hm

>

> ALERT: CONTESTANTS ARE WONDERING WHAT THE ELIMINATION CRITERIA WILL BE

[10:28 P.M.] Jae Hamilton

> …

>

> Nope

[10:29 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Not feeling chatty today I guess

[10:30 P.M.] Jae Hamilton

> ALERT I want to break down my wall and find the elimination criteria

ALERT: ANY ATTEMPT TO FORCIBLY BREAK OUT OF YOUR ROOMS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. FAILURE TO ABIDE WILL MEAN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION FROM THE GAME.

[10:30 P.M.] Jae Hamilton

> Since you seem to have everything figured out

>

> What do you think we're supposed to do to stay occupied the whole five months

[11:04 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari

> We'll figure things out as they come

>

> We always have each other

>

> Perhaps the overseers will leave behind extra activities for us every other day

>

> Or we could try requesting certain things with the sticky notes, if that counts

[11:04 P.M.] Me. Myself.

> Wait would that work?

>

> I didn't think about that

>

> Damn I wish I knew what I liked so I could ask for it

[11:05 P.M.] Schofield, Kumari

> I wrote a request for something I saw in a TV ad

>

> I'll see if it works in the morning

> Until then, I need to get sleep for it to work

[11:07 P.M.] Me. Myself.

[11:11 P.M.] Me. Myself.
