+1 Evil computer

[adaptivemanipulation]

Greetings, Earthicans. My name is Carbon, and I have a brand-spanking new character for your game! For the past several months I could not get the idea out of my head of a malevolent AI reincarnated as a surly professor so... this was the result. In 1967 Harlan Ellison wrote a haunting short story supposedly in one night called I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, the main antagonist of which was the all-powerful, hateful, godlike, completely sadistic supercomputer named AM. Guess who I brought here!!! (There was also a video game based on the story made in 1995 but I mainly use the story as a source.)

AM has been reincarnated as an ex-military computer science professor named Alan Masterson. He also is the Major Shareholder for a budding company - Lemniscate Technologies. He uses that to dick around the employees. And as a professor he's a very strict grader, not very nice to his students. HOWEVER he is not the horribly malevolent, hateful, evil thing he was in the story... yet.

So because Alan/AM is not a very nice guy, feel free to opt-out if you're not comfortable interacting with him.

Anyway, you can find his info post here, and his full app is here.

I look forward to playing with you guys! My plurk is godofpaper84 if you want to add me there.

oh shit did somebody say malevolent AI, I am so there

Welcome! I'm DC. I play Chell (now Michelle Velasco, working in the marketing department of a local tech firm) and Larxene (now Arlene Sinclair, drama queen extraordinaire.)

They attended and are attending LCU, respectively, but neither of them took compsci so they'd only be vaguely aware of Alan at best.

OH snap Chell. I played Chell for a long time at another game... I miss it. And Larxene is wonderful heh heh.

I look forward to interacting with both of them~.
