Seven Trials of HABIT

Well, the air of mystery should be enough to hold over the intelligence level (or lack thereof) but even the mysterious air is shattered by the person/people running this. Also the fact that Evan, Vince and Jeff don't even seem to be trying anymore. They never voted nor did they post their item burials and in return, Habit refuses to eliminate them? Not very realistic.

I thought you had to do that burial thing in order to even participate, right? That does it: the EMH crew are officially, in my honest opinion, tools.

Well... it looks to be changing, fingers crossed:

Right again, best friend!

They said that their videos were hidden... which means they probably didn't even do them.

Also winpoint to Satyr to get him up to 100.

In case you guys aren't capable of [or refuse to] spy on Unfiction for extra information, I'll show you the email HABIT sent me after Trial 2/2

CONSIDER YOURSELF THE "WINNER" OF THE FIRST ROUND.

RESPOND WITH YOUR PROPER MAILING ADDRESS.

YOUR PRIZE WILL BE IN THE POST.

ALWAYS,

In all fairness and mental reasoning, it would seem we're waiting on whatever my prize is to arrive on my doorstep.

Unless it's gotten lost in the post.

I wouldn't want to be the winner. 20$ says it is a dead rabbit. Ewww...

This is false.

In order to participate, you needed to fill out an application form. Simple as that.

The first trial was the burial video, which even then, there were enough complaints that HABIT allowed you to simply give your item away on camera [video taped or a series of three photographs]. The second trial was mostly political debacle; Thinking about this rationally [or irrationally], these trials are all about turning us into horrendous little anti-people. The first trial was a sacrifice of a piece of our humanity; Destruction of our long-term attachment, burying our beloved past. The second trial was to invoke our most primal instincts of power, to see what lengths people would go to, in order to become dominant. And barring that, to see what they would do just to stay in the game.

In that respect, the unfiction/Something Awful user, FullRoundAction, is probably the best player right now. He was willing to murder another player in order to stay in the game, even once he was eliminated, and did so. [Rabbit 120 took 052's place in CougarDraven's list].

Thought you may think they're tools, I've actually talked with Jeff and Vince quite a bit, both on the Angora chat and in more private mediums. They're relatively down-to-earth people. The real reason behind the EMH congestion is, well, congestion. The crew is suffering from a menagerie of illnesses, none of them ARG-related.

The EMH crew [Evan, Vince, Jeff, and Alex] HAVE been eliminated from the trials. They were on CougarDraven's list of fifteen, so they've been axed. Not to mention, the trio DID do the first trial. They, like many others, simply made their videos private. I've seen Jeff's, anyway. He buried Jessa's necklace.

Mu... Murder?

Wow, that is interesting. It really irks me that the information is so limited.

Well, it's generally accepted that, in-game, people eliminated from the trials are killed, probably by the Rake. FRA proved himself to be a master of manipulation, as it were. As soon as CougarDraven revealed his list of fifteen runts, FRA appealed to Something Awful, found a candidate, and had himself replaced on the list by HABIT [the candidate went directly to HABIT and offered himself up]. A body's a body to HABIT, no matter who it is. I imagine he just needs one body at the end of this tournament. Perhaps a new host?

The information really isn't all that limited. At least, not for someone willing to look for it. The EMH trailhead thread [the new one, anyway] on UF has plenty of information, and Jeff has been known to drop in on the Angora chat periodically, which you can also find there. I made the thread, I can repost it here if you guys like?

Yeah, in one place, UNfiction... which is a mad house. Total chaos in there.

It was, eventually some of the more intellectual people decided it was time for some consolidation. But, unfiction isn't the sole source of information. http://everymanhybrid.wikia.com/ is probably the single most complete source, and I've started a new trailhead and have been keeping it relatively clean of spam and nonsense.

Bookmark'd and thank you.

Yeah, I can't keep up with it anymore. There's too much for me to cover, I'm not on Unfiction, I'm not a Rabbit, and I also want to start working on my EMH guide/review.

I'm probably gonna use that link too when I cover the TRIAL shenanigans.

///Sadface

Rabbit #028 here. I'm pretty sure it's only the people in the trials who "seek outside help" or "disobey" get killed. I don't think HABIT cares about those who are eliminated, just those who break the rules.

After all, Ryan was killed because he was seeking outside help, not because he was eliminated.

There's no definite correlation, true, but HABIT uses the words "kill" and "eliminate" interchangeably.

^Damn right he does.

Well I barely go on Unfiction, if ever. Only time I did so was when I was looking up the Trial groups. Not that I have anything against Unfiction, but it's just a lot of things to sort through. Although I bet they could cover EMH better than I could. XD

But oh well, off to work on my EMH guide. ;D

If you make a guide explaining the plot Zander, I will love you forever.

Well I was able to follow it for the majority till they hit the TRIALS, but I need to go back and watch them anyway.

And why is that? o_o

Because over time, the plot has turned into something I understand very little of.

Well, I've got 3 reviews up. Working on the next 5 right now.

Waitwaitwait...... so the EMH guys are eliminated? And eliminated means killed?

Should I be getting the party hats out?

Hmm. I guess you guys were not actually

Telling the truth

When you said you'd put the whole EMH thing behind you?
