Also it's not clear to me any more how much other players are treating this as a video game and not like, real? I might have to go back and see what the previous conversations were like.

MACARON: bc like, I wanna know what kinda stuff ur planning in-game.

I think this is the first outright reference to it as a game, but it's stated and affirmed many times that there are many TCP games being played by gods, multiple times; this is routine for them and life-or-death for us and given the benefits of winning, it's implied that all involved have an investment in the system and would therefore react... strongly to attempting to turn everyone's TCPS rogue. I can't think of how we can really disguise attempts at that kind of manipulation without spawning in that cone of silence people wanted or w/e and that itself would be a pretty big alarm bell.
