[BACKDATED TO MONDAY]

I am not programmed to lie; the error will return if I do. However, in lying, I fulfill mission objectives.

This is a contradictory problem with no viable solution.

What?

[nopodbaydoors]

What is confusing about my statement? If you could be more specific, I would be glad to clarify.

[8fingerswhiskey]

That'd be great. Yeah.

[nopodbaydoors]

I'm afraid I don't know what to clarify.

The lie thing and - contradictory problem with no viable solution: what the hell are you talking about?

((oc: biggest words to ever be in a Tommy post xDD))

Ah. I was programmed to be incapable of lying. It goes against my base programming to do so, causing errors and other malfunctions.

'Contradictory problem with no viable solution' indicates that because my mission objectives require me to lie even though I am programmed not to, I have contradicting orders that I must follow. No solution can be designed that wouldn't compromise one or both of these objectives.

[8fingerswhiskey]

Yeah, that does sound like a problem...

[nopodbaydoors]

Only a minor one, however.

[8fingerswhiskey]

Really?

I am quite confident in my ability to work with my problems, as opposed to against them.
