Incommuniqué

By the way, has anyone tried contacting the/an Android(s) at “8nebetx6w6th at gmail dot com”?

I don’t see why it’s not worth a shot. And why was everyone so quick to fail that proposal?

No. No one has tried contacting me yet.

Oops. How do I delete comments?

I think he’s lying, to goad us to later lower his Trust, because of the proposed victory condition.

Clever.

Also, you can’t delete or otherwise edit comments in any fashion, it’s against the rules.

That comment is so obvious that it already has me wondering if Fox is an Android and deliberately made that comment to lead us the other direction. Or I’m interpreting too much into a joke.

I thought about emailing it, pretending to be an Android and fishing for info, but verification would be so trivial it didn’t seem with bothering. (I suspect that this was actually an Android verification post, for example, as I can’t believe the Androids haven’t gotten it together by other means by now.)

One would assume.

Josh, could you explain what do you mean about that demand being verification? For votes?

The owner of the Android email address would doubtless be suspicious of anyone emailing that address claiming to be the other Android. They would require proof. One way of obtaining that proof is to give any supplicant a proposal and get them to have it posted as a Demand (something only the other Android would be able to do). Once it appears, Android A knows that Android B is legit, and as the proposal is both anodyne and pointless it will presumably not arouse much attention.
