Tomorrow at noon GMT, I will pick the two most rated comments per score in this thread and answer the questions they ask (edit: one question per comment). If it is not a question, then that opportunity goes to waste.

To help me answer questions, I have enlisted the help of my all-new CritAI machine, a state-of-the-art supercomputer built into my basement that is able to search the first page of google in 45 minutes and output an answer to any question in mere days! The best tech 1975 can give us! However the model is still a bit buggy and might not give you exactly what you asked for though…

I will not answer questions that can be answered with yes or no however, just to make it challenging, nor questions – obviously – that give out the alt’s name.

The answers will be truthful.

You should consult with each other. The clock is ticking.

        well, could have been more specific I suppose but now we know it has to be within the last 2 months

          The software is still a bit glitchy… that’s 70s tech for you I guess 🤷 . As you can see sometimes it likes to print out “have a critastical day” and I have no idea why it does that or where it learned.

      This, most important question of all time. Up there with the meaning of life.

      CritAI’s answer:

      15:00 >Recording query:
      15:05 >"What community is the alt the most active in?"
      15:09 >Searching natural language modules...

      At this point I tried feeding it the query again, hoping rebooting would fix it:

      It automatically printed out a log on my line printer and essentially from what I can tell reading over the BASIC, the AI got confused between comments and posts. It wasn’t sure what you were asking.

            In that case, refining the query to: What community is the alt most actively posting in?

              I’ve had to run critAI all night, but here’s the result:

              1:02 >Recording query:

              Yeah, it had some issues forming a coherent interpretation of the sentence so I had to help it a bit. Anyway, after a while of retrying it got the gist of what you wanted. I think.

                Interesting. Then I want to say the alt is Maxim_The_Russian. Although it has been so long since I’ve played Mafia in a forum environment that I don’t have much faith in the deduction, lol.

    Does the alt focus on informational posts, debate, and comments? Or humorous banter/memes?

    Do you control the alt or does the alt control you?

    Yeah, none. Germany said it would deliver tanks if the US and other euopean countries did too. And none of them did.
