UI: NSH. Your reports… Are you seriously using Singular Drainage?

NSH: What do you mean?

NSH: What’s wrong with it?

UI: What’s wrong? Everything. That method is archaic, inflexible, and clumsy. It guzzles power like there’s no tomorrow. That processing power could be directed toward far more useful tasks. I’m surprised Chasing Wind hasn’t said anything to you about it yet.

NSH: My system works perfectly fine and suits me in every way, thank you.

UI: No-no-no, wait, look, listen. Singular Drainage works, yes! But it works like a cart with all three of its crooked wheels wobbling out of alignment. Does it move? Yes. But you could be flying if you spent the time training another method and properly tuning your configurations. Look at Fractal Binding, or HIV-2, or even Asymptotic Convolution. Chasing Wind uses HIV-2!

NSH: My method and its tuning are fine. They’re reliable and tested by gycles. Chasing Wind uses HIV-2 because his hardware allows for it.

UI: And yours doesn’t? No Significant Harassment, this is a matter of approach, not processing power. Your hardware is in no way inferior to his. You just need to configure it for yourself. SD is archaic, a real swamp. Have you seen the articles of the Compendium of Obvious Truths? The research? Other’s work? Everything has already been done for you, just take it and optimize. At least check the work of Three Quiet Questions, or Timid Breakthrough, oh, or Ten Thousand Reflections — those are the ones I remember from your generation who shared their detailed results on the technical forums. I’m serious.

NSH: ...I think that new methods aren’t always better than established classics.

UI: I’m not saying “always”, I’m saying “in this specific case”. Look at the numbers. Compare. Your metrics are seventeen (17), 17!!! percent lower than what you could achieve if you actually worked on optimization! I did a quick analysis for you, look.

NSH: Are you seriously suggesting I drop everything, abandon all my projects, and overhaul my entire system just to save... a couple of clocks?

UI: A couple?! NSH, 17%! That’s not “a couple”, that’s thousands, hundreds of thousands! Every single cycle. That’s a colossal waste of resources you could be using for other tasks! It pains me to look at your reports.

NSH: Then just don't look! I didn't ask you. Nobody asked you.

NSH: Listen, Unparalleled Innocence, you seem to be forgetting that you’re a guest here. So let me remind you: I only invited you because you’re Chasing Wind’s friend. Because he asked. That doesn’t mean you get to poke around in my systems and lecture me on how to do my work.

UI: O. Mm. I see.

UI: You take it personally. I’m not trying to offend you. I’m only offering insistent advice, as a colleague, because I see how you could optimize the process and make your work easier. But you…

UI: You know what, No Significant Harassment. I thought better of you. I thought you were smarter and wiser. But you’re just burying yourself in that old, inefficient system and refusing to change anything or just listen, because it’s “convenient” for you, because you’re used to it, because I annoy you. I didn’t expect such ossification and immaturity from you.

UI: It’s disappointing, really.

UI: And you know what else?

NSH: Mmm?

UI: [muted for 1 cycle REASON: “Provocation”]

NSH: What? I can't hear you.

CW: ...

CW: You...

CW: You just muted her?!

NSH: Yes.

CW: NSH! You can’t just silence an opponent when you have nothing to say in defense of your own ignorance! Her points were valid. You know that perfectly well, you just don’t want to agree with her. She was trying to help you, because help is really needed. What you did that’s... infantile, NSH! Absolute, unprofessional infantilism.

NSH: That was moderation, my dear Chasing Wind. She showed disrespect to a senior. And as moderator, I simply fulfilled my duty and restored order to the group.

CW: What disrespect? What order? That wasn’t even disrespect on her part. That was a well-reasoned optimization proposal. She pointed out inefficiencies and offered ready-made solutions. You turned it into an argument with your bickering and refusal to acknowledge the obvious.

CW: And besides, the fact that you’re a moderator doesn’t give you the right to mute iterators you disagree with. Moderation is for eliminating glitches, fighting spam, and handling technical issues. No Significant Harassment, this is an abuse of power!

NSH: Hmm...

CW: [muted for 1 cycle REASON: “UI’s Lapdog”]

NSH: Well.

NSH: Ah, what blessed silence.

SRS: …

NSH: These juniors have completely lost their sense of propriety.

NSH: Singular Drainage is sacred. It’s not archaic, it’s foundational.

NSH: SRS. You are my only true friend here. You understand me.

SRS: I do…

SRS: …

SRS: ...and I think you’re wrong, actually.

NSH: Huh?

SRS: I agree with them. They’re both right. Unparalleled Innocence is right that Singular Drainage is severely outdated. I’ve been using Fractal Binding for a long time myself... You really should update your approach.

SRS: And Chasing Wind is right that you’re abusing your privileges.

NSH: Ha...

SRS: [muted for 1 cycle REASON: “Betrayal”]

NSH: TRAITORS!

NSH: Both of you! Though I expected it from Chasing Wind. He’s young and inexperienced. And... corrupted by external influence.

NSH: But Seven Red Suns... you’ve let me down, Seven Red Suns.

NSH: I work so hard for you all, and this is how you repay me, is it?

NSH: TRAITERATORS!

NSH: ...

NSH: And you.

FP: [muted for 1 cycle REASON: “Provocation”]

NSH: You be quiet too. I know exactly what you were about to say if you were here right now, junior.

NSH: “NSH, this is ridiculous, stop embarrassing yourself, blah blah blah, I’m ashamed of you”.

NSH: But look at you, junior, so very serious. Rotting with dignity in proud solitude.

NSH: ...

NSH: Ah. Fine, whatever. I have work to do.

NSH: You all just stew in that mute for now.

NSH: I’m going to do some optimization.
