I was in Get-Mart the other day and I saw Njadrasanukii Hadii. I told him that I was a big fan of his work, but didn't wanna be one of those annoying fans that asks him for party membership or anything. And he said "OH like you're doing now?" I said "What?' but then he cut me off and kept saying "What? What? What?" while he closed his hand in my face. Later as I was going to checkout, I saw him trying to leave with like, 15 tajaran rights and civil liberties in his pockets without paying. The cashier was very patient with him and said "Sir! You need to pay for those." He came back and put them all on the counter. She began ringing them up by scanning one repeatedly before he stopped her and demanded she scan them each individually to prevent "Human Infetterance." I don't even think that's a word. She tried to tell him the total, but he kept yawning loudly and pretending he didn't hear her. Eventually he finally paid and left. What an asshole.

A few weeks back I was at my store working when a customer told me he was tired. He told me that he was "the kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix." I told him I was too, and we went back and forth griping about our daily lives. At a certain point in the conversation, I leaned forward on my counter. Catching his attention, I said, "You know what I'll never get tired of though?"
"What?" He asked, genuinely interested.
"I'll never get tired of the great great deals here at [company name]." We both laughed, and by all audible appearances it was genuine laughter the likes of which people usually give bemusing and corny jokes. But I felt something shift, something changed. We both laughed but we were both worse off for the joke. Emotional trust and genuine expression of emotion was cheaply sold for a grimy advert. As if a lover stopped you in the middle of the night to advertise Cheeri-o's, as if a friend on their deathbed used their last words to shill for Ritz crackers. In a way, I felt like I sold my soul.- Show previous comments 3 more

@Lmwevil Its highly unusual, at least from my experience, for store employees to advertise or upsell anything at all. I'm a bit different in the sense that I'm very aggressive about encouraging customers to buy more. So like, it was a corny joke, but also genuine advertisement. I use a lot of rehearsed "advert-jokes" that paint myself as a greedy merchant trying to take their money. It usually catches them completely off guard and, surprisingly, works to get customers to buy more. My overall act that I put on is as a very bubbly, cheery and energetic fella, so I think the sudden cynicism gives them whiplash and effectively applies pressure, especially when they aren't regulars.

Which faction in lore is most "Orwellian?" (Omg so 1984!!!)

dominia is pretty social police with being black bagged and being called a 'shell' is an excuse but...
probably eridani, you wrongthink, even one bad google search and you become an un-person and lose all rights and get beaten by corporate police - in comparison jargon is almost nice, yes you're social credit and thought policed literally but one google search doesn't revoke you being a human being and all your rights thereof

What do you think about the direction of Aurora lore? Do you like it? If not, what direction would you take it in?

QuoteMore news, less arcs, more small events.
Not sure how good of an idea this is. The event arcs have received a lot of positive impact, specially over the news and other things. While there are practical concerns, like the arcs being too high energy to run sustainably at a specific interval, I think we should continue to work with that formula instead.

Wew, this got a lot more feedback then I was expecting. I'm definitely of the variety that wants... well... a ton of variety. Though that process is being slowed down in the near future in favor of depth for what is already present, before possibly pursuing more variety.
I'm glad to hear that the shift away from complete NT-centrism is well received! I was actually really concerned about how well that would go over with everyone.
