Yeah, first the amusement park, and now the water park. I've got a subscription.
It was pretty typical as Tuesdays go. Girls walking around in bikinis, the eternal circular river going round and round, waterslides all open. I went on 'em all. Usually do every time I go there.
When I was leaving, there was half a dozen kids clustered around one of the lottery tokens-for-tickets machines. Apparently the anti-tilt had failed, and they shook it, and were looking at me to shake it when I approached them.
I didn't shake it.
I POURED it. Overloaded the machine so badly that the NEXT token put in unleashed ANOTHER flood of tickets.
How's that for setting a bad example?
Of course, the shit they could have possibly traded the tickets for (of course I wasn't going to keep them, not even the tickets I won on my own games- I always give 'em away) wasn't anywhere near the money those kids spend at that place, so I consider it fair.
And I know- know for a fact- that if their parents were there (they weren't- the place is as safe as the inside of a police station), some of them could be tricked by the right manipulative programmie into thinking that that was the beginning of deceitful and defiant behavior on the kids' part. "Have you considered separating your child from his bad influences? We have this great wilderness..."
Fuck you programmies. Fuck you all. You have no idea how badly I- not my characters, I- want to kill every last one of you. If I could get away with it, I'd do it. One pair of long, solid brass rods, some wire, a very good battery, and a pair of rubber gloves, and I'll Lukinate you down.
