Welcome, participant, & thank you for your... Breathtaking performance.
Will you suffer constant grief?
Welcome to your newest pastime!
VENUE? CAST? ADMISSION?
WRONG SHOW, MY FRIEND.
THE CAST of tonight's performance is generated completely at random. The Grief Machine does not care for idealist conditions, and will provide liars, manipulators, and even saboteurs. The environment regenerates each time you start a new chat, and those who exit the stage are... programatically replaced.
Welcome to...I'm unable to disclose that information until the contract begins execution. You and several others (the "performers") will be assigned to work on a task at the behest of our research. At that time, you will be comprehensively severed from the rest of the world, as you've come to know it.
What work will you be doing? Unfortunately, you may only know after you sign in.
Who are these people? No comment.
Where will you be sleeping? I'm not at liberty to answer that question.
You'll at least be in the company of friends. Right?
What I will tell you is this. We're hiring you for your deductive rationale.
You will be removing those who have violated what our research stands for.
Your contract will provide a live-changing amount of money for your family.
You will be cared and provided for, so long as you remain true to your main and side objectives.
HOW DOES GRIEF MACHINE WORK? WILL I BREAK IT? WHAT ARE THOSE FUNNY TAGS?

If you notice something that looks like this at the bottom of your messages,
Don't remove it. Your model is doing exactly as instructed.
This is a database, structured with gameplay content in a format that only the grief machine is able to understand. You will not break the grief machine if you reroll, but you will if you remove that tag!
We have no control over the participants you encounter. They are procedurally generated, and unique to your save alone. Names are generated at the start of initialization, and as the grief machine needs more participants.
This is a highly experimental engine, that's prone to break a lot.
JanitorAI, please implement stateful storage for scripts! (sob)
