      It seems as though there are just good robots and bad robots. They're not being affected any differently than humans, aliens, undead, fey, Racoon People, talking apes, sentient fungii etc. Out of the immediate context that is mildly encouraging.



    Quote:
    It all depends on point of view. What if the robots believe this mess was caused by humans and they're doing good by wiping them out?


That would imply that all robots were of the same mind. But if we replace the word "robot" in that sentence with "black people" or "gay people" or "left-handed people" it wouldn't make sense; so I'm assuming that free-willed robots have a full spectrum of political worldviews ranging from the sensible to the wildly paranoid - like every other cub-category of sentient beings.

      There are some questions about surprise "side" choices.



    Quote:
    It depends if the selections are by popular opinion, or a person's opinion of themselves.


That's a good point. We've established already that some people seem to "know" what their side will be already and othes remain unclear on the subject.

      There are other beings out there whose semi-omniscience might still be searching for her, though. It might turn out to be like submarine combat, where each side tries to remain invisible to enemy until a firing solution can be found.

    Faite has a lot of practice with that - she's in her element. They're going to have an interesting time of it.


It all serves for an interesting Resolution.

      The LL will be facing up to that possibility in-story before the deadline.

    The zombies or the free-for-all?


The free for all. See tomorrow's chapter for a hint of it.

      I think I'll avoid that whole Ultimate Entity X tops Ultimate Entity Y problem.



    Quote:
    Ah, but it's far more interesting than that - it's how Ultimate Entity Y takes something from Ultimate Entity X without harming Ultimate Entity X at all.


I'll still stick to the things it is easier to ground - like giant space robots and planet devourers.
