Part II
What is my goal in Part II?
- Don't look at these hints until you've begun Part II.
- Your goal won't be spelled out, as it was in Part I.
- Personally, do you have confidence in the Plan?
- Perelman's speech at the end of Part I contains a hint.
- Via Interface Mode, get a status report from the Simulation Controller.
(SIMULATION CONTROLLER, STATUS.)
- The Simulation Controller has correlated so much data for 2041 that it
can now provide a simulation for 2051 as well.
- If you enter Simulation Mode now, you'll be able to go to 2041 _or_
2051. Explore 2051 for a while.
- You may notice that not everything is going as well as in 2041. If you
were in 2051 for more than 300 minutes, you may notice something else.
- Specifically, that a 2061 simulation is now available!
- Spending over 400 minutes in 2061 will make a 2071 simulation possible.
Spending over 600 minutes in that simulation will make a 2081
simulation possible!
- By the time you get to the simulation of 2081, which is very deadly and
limited to six locations, it's quite apparent that the Plan is a dismal
failure. Don't you want to let people know?
- Use the same mechanism that you used in Part I.
- The RECORD feature.
- Record various things that seem onerous to you. Then show the
recordings to Perelman. (SHOW RECORD BUFFER TO PERELMAN, TELL ABE ABOUT
THE RECORDINGS, etc.)
- Perelman will want recordings from each simulation (2051 through 2081)
in order to see the progressive breakdown of society under the Plan.
- Each "bad" sight or event that you can record has an internal "badness
value." A complete listing of these, along with their value, can be
found in the section entitled RECORDING "POINTS". To prove to
Perelman's satisfaction that the Plan is bad, you must record sights
and events totaling (at least) 11 points from 2051, 21 points from
2061, 41 points from 2071, and 15 points from 2081. These badness
points are internal to the program, invisible to you; Perelman will
merely say things like "We want to see more from 2061."
