  • Try this:

    [char1 = char.selectOne.titleCase] gives the worst hot take about [char2 = char.selectOne.titleCase], and [char2] subsequently kills them over it.
    

    Here you’re creating a placeholder (aka variable) for the character you’ve selected so you can reference it later on. I also added titleCase so the character name gets capitalized.

    EDIT: The above does do random, but not unique. Here’s a working example I wrote:

    Code:

    title
      Let's do this
    
    output
      [names = chars.consumableList, ""] [char1 = names.selectOne.titleCase] gives the worst hot take about [char2 = names.selectOne.titleCase], and [char2] subsequently kills them over it.

  • Subterfuge at work, a fun subject to study.

    Some of my favorites from a declassified WWII “simple productivity sabotage” manual:

    • Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

    • Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.

    • When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.

    • Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.

    • Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.

    • Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.

    • Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable"and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

    When I first saw these I was like goddamn, psyops got to my executive director!
