Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Kat responding to, "You're the angel!" with, "Sure, dude," cracks me up. Good to see that she's not getting a swelled head over the whole robot messiah thing.
Play your character, not your alignment.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
That's a pretty cute little robot. Maybe a little too cute.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
So they've got confirmation of Shadow's story, and know Robot was captured; but where do they go from here? Unless Chubby-bot knows where the Seraph models hang out, or Kat can track Robot's body, this could be a problem...

It looks like Rey is still keeping a close eye on Quartsize. He really got a scare off that guy I guess.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
If the trap is so obvious you can spot it a mile out, does it still qualify as a trap?
78% of all DM's start their first campaign in a tavern. If you're among the 22% who didn't, copy and paste this into your signature and tell us where you DID begin.
The docks of a small fishing village. One of the character's nearly drown trying to catch a fish barehanded.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Depends on whether the protagonist falls for it or not.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
I don't know, I think it might not be a trap. I mean, he's an eyewitness robot. Should a robot deliberately impair another from performing his duty, by not letting him witness all relevant information?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Isn't "Walking into a trap when fully realizing it is a trap" somewhere in the protagonist's job description? Then it is up to protagonist to either fake being being surprised to reassure the antagonist that he has outsmarted our hero, or to announce that trap is obvious and hero walked into it anyway because he is so superior to the villain that he can afford to take the risk.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Remember, Annie once got through a door by wearing a pair of fake antenna, and telling the door robot that "Of course I am a robot, because I say I am a robot, and robots never lie" (or something to that effect). Court Robots are not well versed in the arts of secrecy and subterfuge.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Also, this. Your theory appears to be correct. Although it could still be a trap.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Oh yes, obviously not a trap. (eye roll)
Why is Robot on his knees? Normally prisoners do that when they're exhausted or beaten down, but Robot's a robot; would that apply to him?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
To what extent is Robot still a court robot? If he still has any of his original programming, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it's just Prisoner Subroutine 35-A: Slump helplessly. Prisoner Subroutine 35-B is "Snap out of it and try to warn your rescuers that it's a trap, but be too late."

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Well... He started out as a malfunctioning Court robot. Then he was given an arm that was a tree, and puppeted by a shadow. Then he was put into two non-Court bodies (the camera-and-speaker rig and the mouse)Then his chip was put in an old model that apparently had some programming hardcoded. Then another non-Court body.
So how much of the cliche is hardwired instead of programmed?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!
Well, if it comes to worst, Annie can probably melt them to slag by now. But I'm sure she'd prefer to avoid that.
