Those who have gamed with Monkeybits for a long time are aware he's been engaged in an ambitious behavioral modification and research project involving locomotives. His project is entitled, "The Train Pacification by Hugging Program." Designed to make maps like Well safer, at least with regard to freight trains, the program has captivated observers since its inception.
Many players have participated in the study over the course of more than a year. The several thousand resulting deaths have caused some in the scientific community to label this project a failure.
"Right, well, you can't really call it a success," criticized fellow researcher Mental Buga. "The trains have exhibited no difference in behavior over the time of the study. They keep brutally running over players. Even medics."
To demonstrate his point, she produced a set of pictures demonstrating Monkeybits in action:
"Predictable result, wouldn't you say? Dr. Bits should spend his time avoiding these steel behemoths, not trying to pacify them."
"I was a bit antagonistic trying to calm the trains as a pyro, I'll admit," countered Monkeybits, "but they respond better to medics."
"Bollox. Sheer poppycock. Explain this, then!" replied Mental Buga, providing another image.
"Further, the steel beasts haven't been attending any anger management sessions with Dr. Monkeybits. This program is finished," pressed Master Mental.
Some controversy has revolved around Monkeybit's funding and former career. Some scientists say Dr. Monkeybits is perfectly aware of the failure of his program, but is simply trying to hold on to his funding following the failure of his medical practice.
"Nonsense," defended the furry researcher. "I have a solid and steady career and am well respected within the clinical community. My work is going well. This is not about funding."
Monkeybits pointed to successful doctor's notes that have improved the gaming lives of fellow players as evidence.
