I...know now, after a few seconds here, that a lot of you don't understand what I say. I can't process some of your terms either, but...I think this is pretty straight forward and, well, I've wanted to ask this since I was programed;

Why...Do users play games?

Well aren't you quite the broken record.

Because we can. It's entertainment, you can do things in games you can't do in real life. It's a status symbol, it means you can afford to not go to work and spend your money on frivolities.

Excuse me, but dealing with games happens to make up a large slice of my function.

I guess it really isn't public knowledge what games do to systems. How many lives they destroy!

[canttrustliars]

Oh, I'm aware of how many lives they destroy. Otaku really are quite the burden on society.

What? No.

Look, when a game is uploaded, it's not just game sprites from the programing fighting in there. It's binomes and sprites from the home system that were dragged into it. Usually they don't have any battle programing.

And if the User wins, they're all nullifed, which if you ask me, is a fate worse than deletion.

[canttrustliars]

I see. How horrible.

[text] lol, bob thinks he does

[thisis_not_good]

It is.

And the sector goes too. Anything in the game's path goes bye-bye.

Too many won games, and it's system crash. Deletion for everyone who's not been down-graded to an energy leeching slug.

I've never heard of that. I think people would be complaining left right and centre if playing too many games destroyed their computer.

I can see having too many games wasting memory and slowing it down, but destroying it?

[text] yeah, the canon's pretty out there :/

[thisis_not_good]

Well, you might not have heard of it, but I've processed it. Games are right up there with viruses when it comes to a Guardian's duties.

And it's not playing the games that ruin systems. It's us losing them.

[text] S'ALL GOOD.

[canttrustliars]

I see. So you're almost like an antivirus program? Taking care of the system?

[text] S'ALL GOOD.

[thisis_not_good]

Yes. That's exactly what I am. Downloaded straight from the academy from the super computer.

And what I mean by straight from is actually several cycles old. I'm over three, after all.

[canttrustliars]

Over three what, cycles? I'm afraid I don't know how long a cycle is.

[text]FFF, I don't know this shit. It keeps changing in canon DDD:

[thisis_not_good]

Cycles? No, uh, those are only a second or so long.

I'm talking months.

[text] IT IS OKAY.

[canttrustliars]

Months?

What would you think if I told you I was twenty two years old?
