Can I come?
I think you are the only one here who can answer that question. Do you need special accommodations, like for instance a laptop with Microsoft Office 2003 or earlier installed to run on?
I don't really need any special accomodations, but I'd appreciate if you could let me take any extra metal that you might not need. Do you have a recycling bin for aluminum cans at the SIAI house?
Did you find this answer helpful?
Sure, just wear a nametag...
Why is that important?
Because I'm curious about who you are. If nobody shows up claiming (via nametag or other mechanism) to be Clippy, I won't find out.
But what if you get hostile toward me because of my values?
Meh, I already live in a houseful of consequentialists and get along fine.
You don't think you'd be able to recognize Clippy by eir behavior?
Nope, pretty sure I couldn't.
Leave large amounts of short aluminium strips lying around. Damage paperclips and watch for pained expressions. Examine people's fingers for calluses from manipulating small pieces of metal too much.
Of course, this wouldn't work if Clippy's gone entirely automated.
I will be really impressed with Clippy's method acting if ey shows up to a meetup in character.
You really want the "it" pronoun here, I think.
"it" is an impersonal pronoun. Clippy is clearly a person. The singular "they" could work, but I don't like it because it can be easily confused with the more common plural "they".
Much less in costume!
Um, are Alicorn and I being downvoted for Spivak pronouns? (parent voted back up to 0)
Can we start guessing now? I guess Wei Dai.
Wei Dai hasn't identified himself as Clippy, at least.
