Fifth Curse

So, has anyone else noticed that the network's been performing slowly lately? Unless it's something wrong with my COMP...

It's a little irritating, to be honest. I've run a few scans, but my antivirus isn't catching anything. Anybody happen to know someone good for checking out these things? There shouldn't be any files on here that would cause it to go so slowly all of the sudden.

[With a light shrug, he ends the feed there...]

[Video; FAIL!Filtered to men]

[...Only to start up another "filtered" one.]



So now that Tanabata's over with...

Men of Hinoto-Ri! I invite you to gather around and begin nominations for "cutest in a yukata." Nominations can be whoever you want, but... well, this is filtered to the men only, so it might be a little awkward if you aren't careful! Of course, anonymous nominations are possible as well if you want to take that route!

Voting starts in 24 hours, so get your nominations in before that!

((OOC: Yes, anyone can see the filtered portion. And anonymous posts are welcome, so you can simply indicate such in the subject line! Of course, assuming the virus hasn't killed your character's ability to filter/anon or anything...))

I don't think filters are supposed to just "break" like that...

[Jiiii.]

That's an awfully safe response to give.

[Video]

[bondsofsuffering]

That will do just fine!

[tyrantball]

Desco's expression flattens out.

"Annnd Desco's opinion goes right back down again."

[trainwrecking]

Ah. But it's true. Besides, won't this encourage people to snap invasive pictures?

[leadthebeats]

Then someone hacked into the server and broke it.

[otakuro]

Y-You don't have to follow what I say. It's your idea; I'm just making suggestions here.

[gosh hizumi don't be such a pushover.]

[bondsofsuffering]

Actually, it seems like no one even thought to take pictures so far. You'd think they'd take a few at least to commemorate, but we have a surprisingly clean group here.

audio;

[bondsofsuffering]

...Just wondering, but how much about computers do you actually know?

[bondsofsuffering]

Hey, hey! What's that all about?!

[bondsofsuffering]

If they're good suggestions, I might as well implement them. That's the point of suggestions in the first place, isn't it?

Besides, I started this on a whim, so ironing out the details is probably better.

[tyrantball]

"If they're not doing it on purpose that just means the corrupternment is allowing the voting public to escape from reality! And believe Desco when she says that the voting public here is crazy. Dumb corrupternment."

[bondsofsuffering]

Does your... "corrupternment" usually employ tactics like that?

[tyrantball]

"Bribery! Propaganda! Physical force! These are the three pillars of a healthy corrupternment! As far as Desco can tell, the one here doesn't use any of them."

[leadthebeats]

Enough to rewrite a program.

[trainwrecking]

Really? I thought for sure it would go down that road immediately... but "voting" isn't over yet. You're not going to really post up a winner, are you?

[otakuro]

...Well. You should wait until you've got this worked out to take a proper vote, then. It'll be too messy otherwise.

audio;

[bondsofsuffering]

Fair enough. But I have to admit, that's a pretty unexpected skill!

video;

[bondsofsuffering]

At this point, it's looking like we're going to have multiple categories of winners.

[bondsofsuffering]

You're sure of that?

[bondsofsuffering]

Right, right. Besides that, it doesn't look like the network is working properly, so even if we tried to vote soon it might not even go through.

[tyrantball]

There's a slight pause as Desco taps one claw against her teeth in thought.

"Desco is pretty sure, yes! As far as she can tell, the corrupternment here doesn't use them AT ALL, unless they're using them in secret or something! And what would even be the point of that?"

[otakuro]

...Yours, too?

I thought it was just my COMP running slow. ...Maybe there's too much traffic with the newcomers or something. Need some new servers.

[trainwrecking]

I still don't know about this... Why not open it up to everyone? It might feel less objectifying if it were for guys and girls.

Hey, I can appreciate all kinds of beauty!

[daichi you should be embarrassed of yourself]

Sexiness is an obvious one-- plus hotness! It's definitely in its own category if you ask me.
