Right, some people would do anything to make their wishes and dreams come true.
(There really are so many factors to consider when regarding what might happen from here on out. Who will make the next move? And for what reason?)
The longer this drags out, the less willing people are going to want to wait. Keep a person into a place where they're living just survive and eventually, they'll leap at the first chance they can to get out.
Most likely - but rushing the process and trying to gather nova by eliminating each other only generates bloodshed, resentment, and less manpower to actually continue the process.
[sure right now there's forty of them, but if everyone has the same idea, it could go to hell in a hand basket real quick]
An alternative that is just as enticing will need to be found in order to truly stay anyone's hands.
It's an argument worth pitching to everyone. If we can't appeal to the hearts of the people, we need to speak to their minds.
(It makes sense! The logic is pretty solid when you put it that way. You collect more when you have more hands.a)
In order to do that, we need to understand Nova better. What can we do to collect it a way that's both efficient and humane? Our best way to find out is to speak to our leaders but unfortunately, they also seem at a loss.
It seems that information is where we're lacking - we'll need to determine a few different methods, test them out repeatedly, and then see how that creates Nova in the rankings.
That said, it could take a bit of time... and the uncertainty builds to it as well. It's hard to get a clean cause and effect experiment.
(And that gets a quiet sigh from Claude as he props his elbow on the table and rests his head in his palm, pushing back his hair. He's thinking,)
The problem with experiments is that they take time and that's something not everyone here will have. (People are going to die! And even more if they take too long.) There's an answer in the teams.
What are some teams doing that others aren't? Wolf, Rabbit, and Fox are at the top this week. What did they do that the other teams didn't? And between the three, what did each team do that pushed them ahead? It's difficult to tell when we don't even know who we're working with.
(And it's here that he glances at Soo-won, almost curiously, like he's trying to figure something out but then he stops,)
To understand the bigger picture, we need to study the smaller parts, too. Finding others on our teams and figuring out what's going on among us is one start.
Hm.... I haven't pursued inquiring about other people's teams just yet - but I plan on doing so if it's something that can be considered useful. Generating an information network of trusted people is probably the best that we can manage, and seeing what we can all compile and compare based on what we've been told.
[he feels like that's probably their best bet, even if it's just sharing notes with each other]
But you're right - ultimately we need to discern what generates nova and how to pursue that without actually harming anyone.
It's still early in the game but I imagine there are already networks in the making. (Or already made if you know what Claude means.) The real difficult part will be connecting these networks and getting information across.
Trust is difficult to find in a place like this. (Where everyone is fighting for their lives, anticipating death at any moment.) If they're smart, they'll play their cards close to their chests and be careful with their risks.
(Sipping some more tea,)
If you ever want to whisper a sweet secret to me, I'm all ears, Soo-won.
If not, I think these conversations will still be good. It helps to have someone to get the mind turning with.
I'll keep that in mind if I ever churn up anything that's worthy of a sweet secret!
But nonetheless - I agree with you. We'll have to press onward and see exactly what it is that we'll be able to find, and what can be shared effectively.
