Enact a new rule, “Outies”:-
A number of Outies may exist. Each Outie has a Case Number, which is either blank or a number between 100 and 999 inclusive; this is publicly tracked.
Each Innie may have a True Self (privately tracked by the Board), which is an Outie, and a publicly-tracked Entangled Self, which is an Outie.
If any Innie has no True Self, the Board may, as an atomic action, perform a Connection as follows:
* Create an Outie with a random Case Number (excluding the Case Numbers of other Outies)
* Assign it as the True Self of a random Innie who has no True Self (chosen in a secretly random manner)
* Assign it as the Entangled Self of a random Innie who has no Entangled Self
So: there are Outie versions of us on the outside, which the company is aware of - but we don’t yet know who is who.
We also get assigned an Outie that we’re “entangled” with and can perhaps exert some control over (maybe half of the gameplay happens there), but we don’t initially know which player it belongs to, or whether it might even turn out to be ourselves.
JonathanDark: he/him
Who is privately tracking the True Self for each Innie?
