| Sep 5, 2017 at 20:41 | comment | added | Nathanael Farley | This is true. I guess I'm trying to find the line. At what point is a robot dog not statted out? When it disobeys it's master (showing free will)? Or when it can learn new tricks by demonstration (i.e can learn). The dishwasher is admittedly an absurd example but I really like the idea of having proper stats all the way up the class system. And when you think about it, a dog that only knows one trick is not that far functionally from a dishwasher. | |
| Sep 5, 2017 at 20:29 | comment | added | SirTechSpec | Building off HeyICanChan's comment, while I can imagine the need to have stats for machines (though perhaps not dishwashers specifically - I assume that was strictly an example), do they need to be statted as characters? What about as computers (which use a simple tier system) and/or vehicles? Actual sapience isn't required - I've worked on natural language processing, and trust me, the "intelligence" required is really artificial. | |
| Sep 5, 2017 at 20:28 | comment | added | Nathanael Farley | 1) it's GURPS so why not! 2) (more seriously) I'm trying to build a set of bot classes from dishwasher to basically sentient. The senteint end of the spectrum is fairly easy, but this end eludes me statswise. (Side note: a game where all minor appliances rise up against thier human overlords sounds amazing) | |
| Sep 5, 2017 at 20:14 | comment | added | Hey I Can Chan | If you don't mind me asking, what kind of setting needs game statistics for kitchen appliances? Are these semi-AI dishwashers going rise up, rebel against their cruel and heartless masters, and… leave some of the setting's we-still-consume-food-off-plates inhabitants mildly inconvenienced? What's the game here, man? | |
