Beating back the bots
Trekker Tlumac
Here at The 506 we take pride in the eAmerican way. Hard work, warm bodies, big guns, and faithfully waving the flag. And pie. I mean, obviously pie. Who doesn’t love pie? I feel like I have said pie a lot. Is there such a thing as too much pie?
Well, anyway… Onwards!
So yeah, I am here today to talk to you a little bit more about something we take very seriously here at The 506.
The 506, while not all of us explicitly hate bots, they are a recognized problem and that is actively acknowledged by leadership. The 506 was founded on the belief of country over party, so we strive in holding up the ideals of the eUSA. One such ideal is that bots are less than human (the reality of that situation is not a discussion to have here). However, in that vein, the eUSA currently has a law on the books that strictly penalizes parties that knowingly harbor bots within their party. This can lead to sanctions against the party.
The theories behind this law can, in many lights, be considered noble. Like the case to be made that bots should take every effort to transition to true sentience before entering into politics.
Noble? Sure. A non-sentient being is much likelier to vote strictly upon party lines, and without any research into the causes at hand. This stems from their general lack of agency, which is a well-established trend within the bot community. Therefore the vote becomes merely another electronic watermark to unfairly press forward the agenda of a small subset of people (
That’s neither here, nor there.
The important part here is that The 506 is 100% eLaw compliant. Lawmakers spoke, and we listened. The 506 is very much about the needs of the country over the needs of the party. Upon ratification of said eLaw, the party put its members through extensive testing (as seen below) to ensure that only humans inhabit our numbers.
(As seen above, a suspected bot is being tested for true sentience with a Voight-Kampff Machine. The device operates by assessing a subject's stress patterns while being asked a series of standardized questions. The object here is to discern whether the subject responds in pre-programmed and/or other aberrant variations to the questions asked, that would be indicative of an artificial intelligence or other form of bot. A
When members fail these exhaustingly stringent testing measures, they find their bot-asses exiled from the party, forever doomed to drift throughout the dismal wasteland that is the eUSA when one doesn’t have a political party to love them.
However, it is a necessary action to stay compliant with current eUSA regulations. The 506 is, as is EZC, one with the eUSA. We serve the needs of our country, as they are our needs too.

And now, time for a relaxing look at the evening news.
Good news on that front. With the advent of personal rockets (thank you Mr. Musk for getting on that one), nightly traffic jams are no longer a thing.
On less good news, while there is increasingly popularity in pressuring meat-eaters into eating plant-based meat substitutes, there is a looming hog in the room, if you will. Almost all the meat substitutes on the market are currently geared towards replacing beef, though most companies admit the goal is to eliminate all meat consumption. This leaves a glaring hole in their plan to many people, as there currently is no subtle substitute for bacon.
There's some bonus news for you. 🙂
Well done. The bacon I mean, please.

The Voight-Kampff Machine never lies. #506isbotfree
Bots are people too!
They also say that about corporations, but our holding companies do not get to vote either. *shrug*

Also... How the heck is it possible that you are a 25xCP and no one ever thought to make a eRep-wiki page for you? xD You should whip someone for that oversight.
All my supporter were low level bots who could not get passed the damn captcha.
^ I was too tired to give this comment the adequate response it was warranted last night. But that has to be one of the best ever responses I have gotten in an article. I mean that. xD
We will see if the so-called "war bots" make a mysterious appearance soon.
Nobody I know is dumb enough to do that.
Great idea, thanks
Lord Lizard is on fire
