No thanks, I'd rather discuss what happens when Maviarab reaches the limit of allowed users on the list™Would you rather discuss that weird castration fetish again?

Should it ever happen the Schwartz will guide me.No thanks, I'd rather discuss what happens when Maviarab reaches the limit of allowed users on the list™.
Sans mustachio though thanksWould you rather discuss that weird castration fetish again?I think not. So let's stick to Nietzshe.
As Mav said, it's unknown but your best bet is probs to collect all the Kiyomi points that he can.Will be a way to get Kane be trained as an assassin by Kiyomi?.because it only was said twice, Kiyomi says it to Kane and another she says it to Olivia but is never mentioned again yet
A femdom fetish in a femdom game isn't really weird, certainly not weird by comparison.Would you rather discuss that weird castration fetish again?I think not. So let's stick to Nietzshe.
Dozens of drones monitoring a mine network with hundreds or thousands of miners is, to put it politely, a suboptimal counter-insurgency strategy. The replacement time for those drones would be like 2 months given they'd have to operate near constantly. Also if they have and can produce drones in this universe they can also - much more easily and cheaply - produce drone jammers, which would be maximally effective in an enclosed space like a mine.The mines and this room are monitored by dozens of automated drones that are remotely controlled from here as well.
Don't mind the drones, they're perfectly safe for us...they can't harm anyone without a mine worker chip.
You also know what function (one of many) these chips can perform. Yes, it's the electric shock function, the power of which can be turned into killing force with a snap of the fingers. Guards with guns go down there quite rarely, because mining is quite a harmful industry. So taking weapons away from the guards and simply taking over the facility will not work.
In the mines there is total and remote surveillance of every miner and the same remote means that can instantly punish or even kill him. And trained security guards can help too.
Millions of people in every known civilization were enslaved and exploited, yet didn't sweep away their masters. It's a question of social organization, which is one of the many things about this game and story that's not very clear.From what we were shown in the game, I can personally conclude that the security at JF sites is perfectly thought out, otherwise all those millions of people (not only miners, but also other workers) would have risen up long ago and swept away all their masters from Karlsson Group.
Nietzsche? No. There are a few points of similarity with Rand but this society is obviously feudal, not capitalist or fascist. They just call themselves a corporation. Why? Not clear. The correct answer is Sade himself, if Sade got bored of theorizing about perfect revolution and started posting tiktoks.I got a feeling that Tess might've been inspired by works of Nietzshe and Ayn Rand for this particular setting.
Right. That's exactly what I wanted to say (among other things), but didn't expand on my already large post. But the point is that before disparagingly calling people "biomass", which was voiced earlier (hello fascism again), it would be good to study the details of the social organisation of each particular group of people.Millions of people in every known civilization were enslaved and exploited, yet didn't sweep away their masters. It's a question of social organization, which is one of the many things about this game and story that's not very clear.
That's what they have collars fora suboptimal counter-insurgency strategy.
Hm, slight misundertanding here. I'm not including the society described in this game in the category of something that might work. For example providing food and shelter to miners within the mine itself would be logistical nightmare. Plus most of them would die from exposure to toxins. You'd spend more time hauling out corpses than minerals.The game mentions that miners (as opposed to mine guards) have to spend all their time in the mines, but we also know that many miners have families and even children. So it's not a "concentration camp (Nazi death camp) in its purest form" and all these people have something to hold on to and something to lose in one way or another. This is to the question of why their Masters have not yet been swept away here.
Training and then giving power to the people who hate them would be another reason the society wouldn't work. Empires recruited and deployed their auxiliary forces and institutions at their peripheries, not heartlands.It is also mentioned in the game that children from ordinary (poor) families are taken away from their parents and given a good education and a chance to reach a higher social status than their parents had (remember Karlssom Academy Alumni with their classes for the rich/elite and classes for poor children)...
I get that this is part of a debate with someone else but out of interest, what's the moral distinction here? The game explicitly portrays non-main chars as naturally - not just politically/discursively - inferior to the main chars. You're down with exploring that concept, but calling them 'biomass' is off limits? Sorry, I just thought that was funny.Anyway, we need more data about this world before we start making hasty conclusions or, even more so, contemptuously calling someone "biomass".
Yet that's what actually happens....For example providing food and shelter to miners within the mine itself would be logistical nightmare. Plus most of them would die from exposure to toxins. You'd spend more time hauling out corpses than minerals.
That's what would happen irl. Obviously I'm aware that it doesn't happen in the game or I wouldn't make the point I did. Follow your own advice wrt digesting info, imo.Yet that's what actually happens....
I have to ask...have you actually played this ('and' digested the information given)? As Stan5851 pointed out, they do not leave the mines. Sure, the supervisors may get that 'privalige' (from time to time) but no one else does. Do you even recall the task Dominique gives you on her work placement and why?
Well my original comment was responding to comments treating the game world as a serious exploration of realistic possibilities but ain't like I got a problem with that. Altho I will admit to having a bit of a problem with people bringing real life morality into it.I find it absolutely hilarious how we as a community go full autist into every little detail of the story and the setting. I don't think I've seen it in any other thread here. I love it. Having said that, I'd recommend to not be too anal about it, or the setting might start falling apart.

If you're going to discuss morality in the context of a fictional universe then you have establish some sort of connection between it and the real world you actually inhabit, because the latter is where morality actually exists. Otherwise there's no point. The premises and conclusions are all determined by your acceptance of the fictional universe's self-referential reality, as opposed to its correspondence with the reality you actually live in. That's called "playing out a fantasy" in layman's terms.It's not a question of whether such a model would work in reality or not - in the game setting of the KG world it works and it's quite enough. But my message was again not in defence of such a system, when children are taken away from their parents (even for good purposes), but that there are quite a lot of nuances of the local social structure that we don't know yet. Which you also mentioned, by the way. In particular, I think we have too little information about how all those millions of workers, who can't be miners alone, actually live.
You think seizing children away from their families can sometimes serve a good purpose, and want to explore the ethical nuances of a social structure described in a bdsm snuff porn game. And then you - apparently - earnestly chastise others for calling people 'biomass', i.e the fictional people in that fictional porno fantasy. Maybe it's just me, but your moral philosophy is a deranged tangle of self-serving contradictions.<<<This is an actual ethical claim, since I'm talking about you and other f95 posters - real entities - in relation to a fictional scenario, not fictional entities in relation to each other.As for the moral issues, nobody forbids you to express your thoughts as you want, but personally for me I don't find it appropriate (for myself) to compare even unworthy people with "biomass".
I assure you, I definitely did not want to hear anything you had to convey. Yet I did and that's entirely on me. Bye.you heard what you wanted to hear, not what I was trying to convey
Same thing.I assure you, I definitely did not want to hear anything you had to convey. Yet I did and that's entirely on me. Bye.
Are you suggesting we park in the parkway? The truth is we Jacobs, Karlssons and DeKocks are extremely elite assholes who can do whatever we want.why do you drive in a parkway and park in a drive way eh smart guys?
