The Thirtieth Trial
Who: Trial players
When: Day 63, morning
Where: Trial zone
[The trial zone doesn't exactly appear to be inthe best shape. It's the ruins of an old building, something once grand, perhaps a castle, with a strange statue of sorts with six spheres leading to a large seventh on a pedestal. It's possible t see a forest beyond the walls, though find a way out to that seems impossible, and plants have overgrown almost everything.]
[On the statue's pedestal is an inscription:
Three tribes that brought a storm,
Winter brought them to task.
Eventually things would become warm,
What in return did springtime ask?]
[Not so far beyond it appears to be stairs leading down into the earth. And to the side of that is a throne.]
[And on the throne is....someone new in Senna colors? Though perhaps the hair is enough of a give away. Though those with a keen eye may yet notice she's still wearing her geode still, with the distinctive cutie mark still on it.]
[She's lounged across the throne, legs kicked over one side, elbow resting on the other, head in hand.]
I'm bored. [And she offers a grin that has a dangerous glint to it.]
How about we play a game?

What was your goal?

But I don't believe you'd be pondering this hard if it was all just boredom like you said at the start. So what was it?

Those are certainly traits that are not the whole of me and not answering my question.

So far the only reason people have cared is so they know what they're yelling about or because they think I need to be saved somehow.
no subject
You do sound like you've lost some parts of yourself, but I doubt I can save you from anything. I'm just trying to understand.
no subject
Why?
no subject
I already acknowledged I don't know you well, but running a game like this isn't anything I expected of you. It's quite opposite of everything you said you wanted before. Your new style is counter to what I thought you wanted too, you said you hated when you kept being forced into new bodies and this is the least pony-like one I've seen yet. When such a drastic change happens, isn't it natural to be curious why?
Plus I can't see any real point to this game that couldn't have been accomplished in easier ways, so I want to see what the reason for hurting everyone was. If you haven't properly examined what you want, it sounds like you just threw all this at us for the hell of it. But surely I can give you more credit than that? I want to know what you learned from your experiment.
no subject
And there wasn't any easier ways. Easier ways mean easier time to misrepresent the data I was looking for. No consequences means people are free to lie to each other and themselves.
no subject
'No consequences means people are free to lie to each other and themselves' is a theory. Without further tests and control groups to back it up with further data, it remains a biased and unproven statement. Your experiences are not universal and this study is afflicted by observation, selection, interviewer and confirmation bias. Your sample size is small and not representative of the total population.
You haven't presented a hypothesis. You haven't established how your methods will help you prove that hypothesis. You haven't explained how you'll measure the values for each of your variables. You haven't undergone proper peer review. You haven't fully analysed the results and drawn your conclusion and are actively refusing to present or debate any of your ideas.
If you don't show your working for any of those things I can't understand your study and it can't be considered proper scientific evidence. Have you recorded your results anywhere? Where was the value of this study?
no subject
People knowing before hand would not have helped the results, only encouraged a performative action, and that is all discussion will lead to. A performative action, because it always has in the past and it's happened over and over with different people. Peer review is a later stage. I am in the state of analyzing the data because I have to deal with the upset before I can fully focus on that task.
I will be writing everything down later, I have excellent memorization skills, and a notebook just means people trying to destroy it in anger and it's not hard to destroy a book. And I find value in the study.
You made an awful lot of assumptions based on zero data.
no subject
And having zero data is exactly my point? I'm not talking about people knowing beforehand because that's introducing another type of bias entirely, I'm saying that right here and now, you aren't presenting your research or your findings, you won't talk to me, you won't clear up any misunderstandings or clarify anything, so of course I have zero data. You aren't giving me the data I'm asking about, so you have given me no evidence. This is what I'm seeing and what I want you to discuss with me or it continues to have no real merit.
Also, if you haven't recorded your results and are going on just memorization that's introducing recall bias into the conclusion itself.
no subject
You're severely underestimating my memorization skills, they're probably the only reason it took people two and a half years to figure out I was a pony and had literally never heard of several school subjects before then. The beats are already written up here, they just need to be put to paper. Then conclusions after. Thus the delay of analysis. I want it on paper before I do too much of that. Which is another part of why talking to people about it now has no merit. It's only likely to muddle things up.
And zero data brings the assumption I don't know what I'm doing, I've working with zero data, and there's no method to the chaos. Which just says you're already assuming the worst of me and are more ready to fight than really talk.
If you're actually curious, then you can ask again when I've done my own proper analysis.
no subject
I am indeed underestimating your memorisation skills because all I have is your word for it and your word is not scientific evidence either. Your memory is still subject to recall bias no matter how great you say it is. Where's the objective evidence that it's a reliable measuring tool? You still haven't explained how you're measuring the values of your variables, if you haven't recorded any of that are you going to remember each and every one for every experiment you did? If you tried to publish any of these results to further scientific study then your research would be scrutinised very heavily. So even if I asked you for your analysis later, you've created reasonable doubt in any conclusions you could draw.
Follow-up interviews post experimentation are a valid scientific method and not 'muddling things up', you're still not taking anyone else's view into account which means you're ignoring points of data that don't fit your view.
I also think you have a problem with assuming any form of criticism is a direct attack on you.
no subject
As for an attack, you wouldn't go on a whole speech on how I did everything wrong without fully knowing what I did. You made a lot of negative assumptions which is most likely because you're mad, but it doesn't change the fact you have made conclusions without any data while using that as a basis to lecture me.
If you want to do a scientific experiment on my memorization skills, then I'll gladly do them with you, I assure you, they are perfectly accurate.
Such as 'Mao enters. Mao scans room for solution. Various solutions offered, details to be written down but tiresome right now. Mao lays on ground and hooks foot on scissor gate. Mao looks to the ceiling for solution. Mao suggests using his coat for a few more inches.' Etc, etc, I could go on.
Also where would I even publish this?
And the values I'm measuring aren't exactly a thing that can be measured in liter and wattage. Fact is, I don't really need to 'ask' for a view. Words can easily be lies, but what I was monitoring is very hard to fake, especially when people aren't aware that I could. An interview does nothing at this stage. Now once the data is down, then talking with someone whose impartial has merit, but that's a later stage.
