Re: THS Rogue Planet
True, as A.I./Ghost suicide is commonly accepted in THS RAW, it's hard to come up with truly engaging drama.
A vague aura of communication disruption seems a bit heavy handed.

Re: THS Rogue Planet
Transmitting out?
Does that mean sending off a copy when the "original" is going to be destroyed? |

"Suicide" is a dramatic word bit I see Flynn's point and tend to agree with him about it. No doubt there's much more about tis sort of thing in the "Sticky Thread of Doom" even if most of that is about Ghosts rather than SAIs.

Killing yourself is suicide. There's no other word for it at this time. Using technically incorrect words like uploading or sending would surely confuse newcomers more. And that's the last I'll say about the stick of doom thread here.

Re: THS Rogue Planet
In canon,most A.I. characters are fine committing suicide as long as a copy exists somewhere else. Suicide is killing oneself for any reason or justification. THS gets to define game rules, not basic English.
I'm not arguing in game rules or setting beliefs, only how others use of in game terms would confuse newcomers as they would assume normal English definitions unless specifically told... which I'm telling here.

Oddly, it reminds me of a science fiction story where most animals go extinct for reasons I can't recall. So to keep farming practices, they genetically engineer humanoid analogues. And the interdimensional visitor has sex with a woman-cow because she looks like his former wife or something. Thank you for unlocking the cage to that fuzzy memory.

Re: THS Rogue Planet
I get that the sender might not be the original in the sense of being the first program created. I meant in the sense of being the originator or source of the transmitted copy.
