Interactive Introverts Simulation Game

itasca00 · Fri Oct 04, 2019 2:32 am

In Interactive Introverts, there is a segment called the Interactive Simulation Game. In the show, Dan and Phil introduce this segment saying that they’ve generated a simulator that contains digital versions of themselves driven by powerful artificial intelligence that think and feel the same way that Dan and Phil would in real life. To play the game, members of the audience are presented with a situation and given a choice between two options about what should happen to the digital versions of Dan and Phil. They have to cheer for the option they want to see happen, and the option that receives the loudest cheer (as determined by Dan and Phil) is the one that’s chosen. Members of the audience are then presented with a new situation based on their previous choice, or they are presented with an ending to the simulation game.

During the Interactive Introverts tour last year, I became really curious about this segment. Specifically, I wanted to know what all of the possible options in the simulation games were. alittledizzy had been collecting audio recordings of individual shows to create transcripts of them, and she agreed to allow me to review the recordings to see if I could reconstruct the full simulation games. I also decided to record which options were chosen at each show, and I decided to note how popular each option ended up being overall. The results of these efforts are presented below.

(I have held off on publishing this post for a while now because alittledizzy and I had previously been hopeful that she’d receive audio recordings of a few more shows, which would have made the information in this post just a bit more complete.)

Flowchart

The text for the Dan and Phil simulations in the flowchart below was taken verbatim from the DVD/Blu-ray (and thus includes all original grammatical errors). Based on audio recordings of individual shows, there is evidence that the exact wording of the various options changed throughout the tour (especially after the UK shows), but the essence of the options always remained the same.
The "demo" simulation was only included in the first three shows of the tour, and the text for this simulation in the flowchart below is based on audio recordings of these shows.
Whenever the simulation forks into two different paths, the percentage of audiences that chose each of the two paths after reaching that fork is noted.
