{text}As far as I'm aware, there have been no exceptions to the two-day gap that occurred prior to my arrival in the city other than those who were brought here in roughly the same timeframe
( Read more... )
I vote that the scientists had something to do with the city-wide memory loss. Although, I do wonder how they were able to affect even those who have had their chip removed.
As for your unrelated question, it seems you can go approximately two weeks before they short-circuit or whatever and shock you. Some have been shocked in only a week, and some have been shocked after three or more weeks without using it.
The high school has been frighteningly loud, so if you're trying to study there, good luck. There's a library in the city which is... usually one of the most quiet places here.
[ooc: It wasn't obscenely long. You saw Kyon's last post, so if anyone should be apologizing it should be me. Also, I am apparently insane. :> I wanted to suggest a sort of open commentlog, so I don't think anyone would mind if you started one. :> I might join in later~]
Memory is not a terribly difficult thing to manipulate. Have there been other occasions, besides the previous times the same thing has happened, where the unchipped have also been affected?
The latter makes sense; the former is quite a margin. Small wonder this network has so much traffic; though there doesn't seem to be any other available.
I have noticed. [a bit grumpily] The library is quiet, I'll wager, because there is no one there.
[OOC: Pfft, nah, that was all action stuff! And idk, I was just going to do a couple of commentlogs here but if most of the action is going in that post we could do something there? :OO /mostly just wants to have some fun with the spooky things]
I can't recall a city-wide memory loss besides the "big three" where everyone felt a sense of the city's population increasing and two days' worth of memories were lost. However, there have been times when a resident has their chip removed that sections of the city have memory loss or amnesia and that sort of thing. I'm pretty sure, but not certain, that everyone in those sections of the city had some memory loss during those times.
And yeah -- the communicators are pretty random with how they work. I've only been shocked by it once after around two weeks of not using it, and it was painful.
I think people tend to grab books from the library and just read them at the place they're staying at.
[ooc: No, I don't think my post is supposed to have all the action; it was just supposed to be the big red flag that the event is a go. That's why I thought an open log at the log community would be best for people who wanted the logs and to have detailed fun with spooky things, and people who don't want to bother with long logs can just do
( ... )
You do not think you are thinking too narrowly? I asked after widespread effects, not merely widespread memory loss. If this is indeed a citywide disturbance, it is doubtful that 'memory' is the only thing that can be affected. I am already aware of the recent bout of paranoia and violence, but that was limited to those with chips, or so I hear.
Perhaps rubber gloves would help next time? [somewhat amused]
Naturally; some do like the atmosphere. [he is a library dweller :|]
[OOC: Oh, okay! I misunderstood and thought I was doing it wrong fff. |DD An open log sounds good for everybody who wants something more involved. ♥ /will probably just do some commentlogs]

Approximately 14 days.

I hear that the range is 7~14.

It's definitely no less than 14.

You have confirmed this yourself?

[EEP! Heard that!]
Ahh... Are you in the school too?

Yes. There seem to be problems with the temperament of the furniture and plumbing.

Hmm--! They're doing it again!
