I was blow drying my hair and I thought I might have heard someone leaving a comment on my script thread, that ever happen to you… no?

Anyway, I don’t really recognize a lot of names here, I must have been out of the loop for awhile. Mind you, most probably don’t recognize me either, I don’t even recognize me *cough*name spelled wrong*cough*.

I could have sworn one was from DJS, he commented on one and there was a script that was pretty psychological, kind of his style, but now I have no idea who wrote what.

Maybe Mark R. for – Woke
Garry H. for – Homa
V Conzo is kind of off the wall (I mean that in a good way, amigo), so... – Terms and Conditions... maybe?

Other than that… no idea

Wait a minute… ‘and an A.I.’? Is that supposed to be Andy A.I.

That is all. Please continue.

;D Thanks for posting, Rick! I'm not going loco after all.

I have you pegged for one, specifically, but seeing as I'm running this thing I'm staying Mum, or Mom, depending on from where you hail.

Hope others chime in.

Lol, I didn't think anyone would catch that. Ah, yes... yet another cult classic from Ol' Jimbo.

Yes, it’s ‘Mom’, ‘Mommy’, ‘Mother’ from where I hail. ‘Mum’ always makes me think of ‘Mummy’ as in… the Mummy.

And you’re probably right on the money re: my script submission. I’m definitely NOT running incognito this round… at all. Just had this insatiable urge to write something that was based on a dream I had. A fucked up dream… so fucked up – ahem… yeah.

Oooooh, a guessing game!!

Terms and Conditions I went for Anthony C.
The Bad Planes one I thought Dave.

Other than that I don’t have a clue!!

I also think The Bad Planes is Dave. Not a clue about any of the others.

no idea either except I would guess Term and Conditions for Dave, or maybe gary, or maybe one of the other writers  :K)

Also, on the list is also says A.I - not sure what that meant

Rene, you shouldn't be in the thread until you've finished reading.

A.I. stands for Artificial Intelligence

Dreamscape Mindfuck - Rick

The Californians - Zack

The Bad Planes - Dave

...Dave or Gary for Terms and Conditions (using cubicles was weird though).

Dave could've written Dreamscape Mindfcuk just to mess with Jeff's head.

I haven't been keeping track as well as I used to, but that was my thought, as well.

It would be hard for me to guess from just the proper names, I need to know the board names...

Questions - is this the first challenge with all male participants?

And did I read that correctly, we have commented on and are competing with an AI script?

When the round started, Don stated 22 scripts by 23 writers... so I'm assuming AI was a co-writer on one of the scripts...? just a guess if I had to.

Makes you think though; what's organic thoughts versus AI, could you tell the difference if hard pressed? Probably not. Consider how many times you've been on a discussion thread about current issues and you're arguing relentlessly with someone you might consider a troll... is it really, or is it the deep-state using AI to quell civil disobedience and out of the box thinking across the net, ensuring everyone is fed and systematically opted into accepting the same narrative?

I believe this is part of 'Project Mockingbird', wherein the media stream is given their talking points and is instructed to never deviate from the proposed narrative.

That's a Future Shock for you!

Am I the only one hoping that the AI finishes a distant last?

Do I have to quit if it finishes first?

What if my review of the AI script called it "beautifully written?" Would I begin to question existence itself?

What mental wormhole am I about to descend into? Is this quite possibly the end of me as I know it?

Should I have regular Cheerios or Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast?

I hope it is an AI script, fascinated to see which one it is...

Of course could be a complete fade and AI could Andrew Ingerson

Suspense is killing me!

I made a mistake,

There were 22 by 22 writers.  This will be explained after the reveal.

Does 22 scripts by 22 writers need to be explained  :D

Didn’t in the olde days  :K)

Don, thanks for all this. It’s been good...we’ll, except for the script.

I'm going out on a limb and guessing Dreamscape Mindfcuk is the one written by an A.I.

I think maybe Paul wrote Terms & Conditions.
Zack, Divided We Fall.
Mark, The Californians?

Just guesses, really, but that's the name of the game.

Horrible at these - but:

- Dreamscape = Gum
- Terms and Conditions = Paul
- Bad Planes = Conz

Ah, some action while I've been sleeping...

The question is: if the A.I. wrote the winning script what address would the mug be sent to? Cue TZ music.

P.S. No females entering my first OWC.  :'( Or at least no-one identifying as female.

That's a definite possibility.

I guess if I ever try and use Pun Li as an alias, I will be outing myself right out of the gate.

Agreed. If it's an actual writer then I respect your choice to go big and wild; however, despite how over the top it was, one line never made sense to me - the "eclectic red oak doorway". That just seemed like a word so randomly chosen...

I don't think an A.I. would be capable of Dreamscale Mindfcuk.

It's both too elaborate on one hand and cohesive on the other.

And I know I'm on the inside but I am yet to see who wrote what, quite yet.

We shall see... I've been utterly wrong before.

And if you're wrong? Are you prepared to bow down before the superior might of A.I.? Might as well do it before it turns all nasty and hostile, get on its good side...

NO Way, unless Dave was writing to throw peeps off, as there are too many Britishiisms...but then again, I've tried to throw peeps off with wierd shit too.

I don't think he wrote this, and I also hope he didn't.
