I'm not sure yet. I'm still getting to know them myself, and none of them seem bad, but this is still their job and we're still in competition with each other. And now that we know the rules can be updated whenever, too,...it's like...fairness is going to be a thing that isn't the same as it was the week before.
...it surprised me a little to see the rulebook updated, since the Reapers mentioned some aspects of the game on Sunday that weren't fully covered by the pre-existing rules and said that it was too bad if anyone wasn't paying attention to what was being said.
I've been trying to pay attention to everything they've been telling us, but some things are harder to pick up on than others. That's where it gets complicated. How much stuff is stuff they're actually telling us, and how much is stuff we have to read between the lines?
No, it wasn't. And it's... odd to me that it's only coming up this week. I suppose one might argue that we were just being eased into it last week, but... if that were the case, wouldn't it have made more sense to have it happen then so we would know what we were getting into?
...actually, no. It makes more sense to happen now so that we don't get too used to what's happening and to remind us that this is a game we have to play. It means we might see something else next week, too.
[the timing of it does still feel a little weird to her, but she doesn't know about cyoas yet, so she doesn't know just how many new things they're going to experience this week lol]
Sharing secrets at least... isn't difficult, once you've come up with something that would be considered a secret.
No, it's not. The good thing is that the people you're sharing secrets with don't have to know how secretive or even true the secret is. If it seems right, then you have plenty of options.
...but since a lot of us still don't know each other, it was probably a way to force us to learn more.
...I wonder how the rule was picked, then? To try to get us to learn more about each other... that seems like the sort of thing someone who wanted us to cooperate across teams would encourage.
But much of this game, at least the parts mentioned in the rulebook, has revolved around reminding us that we're in competition with each other...
That's a very nice way of thinking about it, but there's also the possibility that people could use what they learn against us. Or there might be people who just decide to take the punishment rather than share at all. It's still about what you think is most important.
We can compare notes whenever it does. [ because he's not at all convinced it's not going to happen. ] And it might not hurt to see if anyone doesn't follow the new rule and see what happens to them.
I...doubt anyone would let you not follow it just in case. Depending on what it is though you could probably find a different volunteer if you needed to.

No, I don't think he would. So... I'll talk with them again later.

Just another thing we have to keep in mind, I think. Trying to be fair to us and to the reapers who're just doing their job for now.

But I suppose a weekly rule is diffferent.

This weekly rule thing was never covered.
