tickybox time

[tends_to_panic]

Near the bulletin board, a small table has been set up. There's a stack of papers, a plastic cup full of pens, a box with a slot in the top, and an attractively printed sign.

SURVEY

All residents are invited to take part in a short demographic survey. Answers will remain confidential except to typists.

....WHY ISN'T REVENGE LISTED AS A HOBBY?

[plastic_loyalty]

I believe that would fit under "social disruption", sera.

[avenginggoddess]

And I believe that you're a pixie. If you sprinkle dust on me, will I fly?

[plastic_loyalty]

Thank you, sera, that's a very ontologically useful answer. If you'd care to elaborate on your belief that revenge is not socially disruptive, I'm sure sera Emory would be delighted to listen. I, however, am a psychologist, not a sociologist, and I have work to do.

Good day, and have fun playing.

"Humanoid"? I find that a little.... racist.

[rightful_queen]

She'll pipe in, softly. "There is a difference between racism and ignorance."

[finweson]

"Anybody who has been here for more than a week should be aware that 'humanoid' is a bad choice of word."

[rightful_queen]

"I shall be naive and ask "how so?"." She informs. "What were they supposed to do? Humans are a dominant species and because of that, other species are often human-like." She bites her lip. "And there are enough human-like to earn a classification. Perhaps it should have been rephrased."

"If you give each human-like species a choice-- Fairy, Dwarf, Elf, Millinery...You have to do the same for animals and they haven't got a category at all."

"Wow. Everyone must be trying to avoid me. I did a similar survey recently and didn't get near this kind of response!" He laughs.

Hawkeye stops to look at the stuff on the table. Being unable to read, and never having participated in anything like an election or a survery, he doesn't quite know what they're for or why they're all together like that.

But he shrugs, and continues onward, hoping it's nothing important.
