VLDR: Convention of the Minds - WORST ENDING

[Phinerxen]

Are the pairs going to stay the same overall? Or are they gonna change by each round?

[PolyesterHomes]

"What are you confused about?"

[Cyantic]

Gravy. Well, I’ve spent all my life not knowing what I’m doing, what’s a bit more?

[Knockoff]

So each group individually decides whether to defect or ally among themselves?

[AcidicBreeze]

Seems like it.

[Hawkwing425]

How do the classifications for results work? Is there a defined metric to it all? Like, if 2 people vote differently, they're marked as traitors?

[PolyesterHomes]

"We're playing a different Strategic Decision every round. This is only the first.

Abner, you and your partner work together. You can't hurt your partner.

If one partner defects and the other plays along with the group, the defector takes priority."

[Cyantic]

Can we all ally so we don’t have to actually understand this mess?

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

We all get tokens, or whatever it is, if everyone allies. You just need to exchange it in one of the shops.

So everyone work together, yeah?

[UzayAltay]

I already understood the instructions, Tom.
But Yeah Everyone acting in favor of group is, preferable.

[Hawkwing425]

...so it's a Prisoner's Dilemma game? And... if someone in a pair defects, while the other one doesn't, then the one who doesn't benefits from the defection?

[AcidicBreeze]

My life is probably forfeit if i betray so sure.
I have no interst in the control room.

[Cyantic]

Oh, bad news about the shop. I kinda closed it down. The lady got reaaaal mad at me when I said I was an immigrant with a job.

[leeten]

Obvious choice here is just to go for unity. Not worth fucking with the other outcomes.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

I'm sure it'll be fine, Tom.

[leeten]

[Peter laughs.]

Only you, Tom.

So cash's outta the question then, Guess we all go unity, the choose vouchers. There's gas in there, and someone's got a lighter. The smoker. Try to burn out way outta here.

[Hawkwing425]

There's blood bags and bulletproof vests, too.

[Cyantic]

I’m gonna go back when it reopens. She still needs to learn.

[PolyesterHomes]

"Advice, partners share the rewards regardless of what they vote."

[PolyesterHomes]

"Furthermore, rewards are distributed via bag. Every bag looks the same. If someone betrays, you won't know until the next Strategic Decision."

[Hawkwing425]

And if anyone betrays... everyone else loses a point?

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

Nobody cares, Johnson. Can we just vote and leave? This whole thing is stupid.

[leeten]

I'm with Pam. But I'm pretty sure this guy's gonna shoot if we bolt for it, so you know.

[Cyantic]

Gotta agree with Pam here. The penalties are so bad that there’s no sane reason to betray. So why bother?

[Knockoff]

I hope it turns out alright. Let’s just get this over with.
