      Whatever happened to flowers and chocolate?

      Just when I think I’m understanding the parameters we’re working with here, I get a FUCKING PACKAGE delivered to me. At work. (HOWWW?!?! Periscope? are those pins specific enough to find MY exact building from when I did the broadcast last week?)

      Anyway, I work in a tiny casting office where people come and go regularly, especially on audition days like today. One of the CD’s pops his head in and says, “This is for you.” Just a plain, manila envelope. I ask if it’s from my boss. He says no and shrugs. Inside, a burner phone. fuckfuckfuckfuck.

      So, I’m inspecting inside the envelope, the phone itself, trying to find any records of texts, voicemail etc. and I hear my phone ding. An email.

      Now, here’s where I have to preface… I’m so sorry @prufrock5150. I’m sorry that we have to open this can of worms again. Read on.




      So… here we are… Volunteering for tribute. I guess the key here is deciding on someone whose life is:

      a) the most compatible with dropping everything, doing a quick change, and always being able to say ‘yes.’
      b) someone that will help me help Noah…so that Noah can help all of us.

      xoxo,
      Lia-kins

      Wow @lilmsfancpants! That’s fantastic! Time to do some reading. Whoever gets the phone I hope will have a good head on their shoulders.

      As for how they found you… Are you sure you weren’t followed this morning?

    • #9798

      Biggest concerns:

      1. How the hell did they find you?
      2. Who can you trust enough to give this phone to?

      Do you have to give it to someone? Can it not be you? I’d rather it be you.
      However Buz is a good choice, I’d support that.

      Welp, that’s just terrifying imo. My big focus is on question one that @thegilded asked.

      If Noah can figure out where you work, I wonder how easy it’d be to find out where you live as well. As for the phone…I’m sure there are tons of people who can take it off your hands.

      How the hell does Sarah not know what’s going on here? Like…I wonder how easy it’d be for her to “obtain” this information out of Noah.

      What I want to know is if @prufrock5150 failed Noah in some way. Were calls made that went to voicemail or emails that didn’t get responded to. That seems so unlike Tom to ignore someone or fail to follow through. Or did he withhold more information that Noah wanted to get out to us? So many questions!

    • #9808
       Max Z

      I think Buz is a great choice, being self-employed and all. But it might also be fun to award it according to the same criteria through which Mike and Russell chose Hazel for the Focus Group: Active, dedicated, and not having gotten a ton of interactions yet. Maybe Brad? He seems very active and I know he’s in the area, but I don’t know his job situation.

      God this burner phone thing is a REALLY fun touch.

      @michelle I wondered the same thing! But based on how through Tom’s “Full disclosure” account was, I’m wondering if we should take Noah with a grain of salt here. Maybe he’s not as good of a communicator as he thinks he is, what with the being in a drunken stupor all the time.

      Whoa, this is crazy! Now I’m starting to wonder about something….

      4 days ago I got an email… from The Tension Experience. It stated that I had a package on the way. I bought the soundtrack to Tension last year, but that was a digital download. This email now comes MONTHS later saying “Your order is on the way to you. Track your shipment to see the delivery status.”

      Welp, time to play the game “Computer glitch, or surprise package”

      And yes, I replied to the email asking if the email was sent in error. No response.

      @nothenrygale Potentially a glitch, but I’m rooting for the alternative. @winstonsmith received a similar unexpected shipping announcement from Tension a few weeks ago, but it turned out to be a surplus sacrificial hood.

      Oh, and my vote is for @meghanmayhem because I’m pretty sure she’ll kill me in my sleep if I don’t vote for her. <3

      @kipsie Yeah, my initial thought was a glitch. I replied to the email (which it said to do if there are any questions) 2 days ago just to follow up. Thought nothing more of it beyond just being a glitch… until now. If people are actually getting Lust deliveries, it just moved up from “likely nothing” to “potentially something”.

      Okay; I’m done being coy. Noah clearly doesn’t understand how trust relationships work, and insofar as “communication” is concerned, he seems to have forgotten that it involves more than one person.

      I was honestly willing to give him my utter and complete confidentiality, and provide him with the ear that I think he needs at this time… but he seems so wrapped up in conspiracy theory and paranoia that he can’t recognize the truth when it’s put right in front of him.

      So, here: he clearly feels that I have failed him in his desire for a lackey, or an unquestioning lap-dog, or whatever he’s looking for in this “opportunity” (maybe he wants one of them robots he’s been so keen on warning people about)… but the way I figure, sometimes you have to lose to win.

      What follows are screencaps of my entire email conversation with Mr. Sinclair; at this point, all my cards are on the table, and good goddamn luck to whoever takes up his unfathomable cause…

      Knowing people can be manipulated is nothing new, hell it’s basically my job to do that on a daily basis (convince people they want to watch a certain tv show or movie). We are INCREDIBLY easy to manipulate, which is why I always advocate for skepticism.

      But machines being able to essentially read our thoughts? The idea that our “brain privacy” may be at stake? That’s outright terrifying stuff.

      I understand this may be an un popular decision, and I think Noah made a nice recovery, but I understand why @prufrock5150 made the decision he did. Sarah clearly said that he was diabetic and the low blood sugar could make him spout out conspiracy theories. She pleaded that we not believe them and to let her know if he was acting hypo. We do have sides to pick from and I think anyone who was #teamSarah would have done it in a simular way. Personally if I would have been in this situation I would have asked him to down a box of orange tic tacs and repeat his thoughts to me in 15 min. The tic tacs should have enough sugar in them to ease him out of the hypo state. Then if he was still the same we could put the whole diabetes thing to rest. And then share. If he refused I would have seeked Sarah’s council on what to do.

      So I think @prufrock5150 played it out how he felt. I wouldn’t say he messed up unless he was #teamNoah which it dosent sound like he is.

      I have no clue. It’s like they do data dumps.

      EDIT: By the way- I work from home, for myself (and others, but you know what I mean), and I still “can’t keep up,” with lust.

      I have to wonder what some of the other posters do all day… I thought I was puttin in work. Now I’m overwhelmed.

      It almost seems like that’s the point though? Idfk.

      @maxzumstein, @hazelverse, @nking, and anyone else who’d like to know, subscribing to forum posts is something you can activate either on mobile or desktop. Go to the Forums main page, the one that lists all the sections (Conjecture, Just Friends, etc). Now click on each of those, for example, Conjecture. At the top right, just over the Conjecture forum section search bar, should be a little clickable “subscribe” and when you click it, it should immediately turn to “unsubscribe.” Since the site already has your email address, it’s that simple. You will now receive email notifications containing the full text of every first post of a new thread for Conjecture. To get notified about everything, you have to go to New Friends, Speculation, etc. and click their subscribe buttons as well. These emails only come when a new thread is formed, not for every new post, so it doesn’t clog your inbox too much. You CAN subscribe to individual threads in order to get notified of every reply if there are any you particularly want to follow. All you have to do is follow the same steps but this time open up a specific topic thread. Hope that helps!

      @hazelverse @nking I don’t work a lot so I have a ton of free time :/ (even when I’m at work, like I am right now, there’s a ton of down time so I’m always on my phone). But yeah I often wonder what everyone else does too lol its so hard for me to stay up to date on everything and I don’t do shit! I can’t imagine anyone with a grown up job keeping up with this. That’s why some of my friends won’t sign up for the ARG portion but want to do the ticketed event when it comes.

      I’m lucky enough to have a job where every five minutes or so I have about two minutes of just waiting around so it’s real easy for me to keep up to date during normal business hours. It’s arguably the biggest reason why I can keep the recap series relatively up to date

      @hazelverse @nking…I have a flexible job (if you want to call it a job) and I can’t keep up with everything either. I think one of the issues is that there isn’t a central narrative yet. We have no idea what the endgame is. It was easier to invest all my time in Tension because, come on, the idea of a cult trying to recruit me is pretty awesome. I’m having a hard time following everything because I’m just not into the science side of things. It doesn’t appeal to me.

      But, I went to Coachella over the weekend and rarely checked in. By Tuesday I was completely lost. lol I was so confused when I finally came back to the forums. I’m still catching up and bugging people with questions.

      I’m still thinking a Wiki with facts/events/characters/timelines/etc. would be helpful.

      I’m a big supporter of anything that gets people caught up. If a wiki will help, I’d absolutely support you making one

      The burner phone delivered to @lilmsfancpants at her work was pretty cool, but I’m confused/suspicious about Noah’s methods and possible implications.

      Why use a burner phone? @meghanmayhem doesn’t need to hide her identity or call history. Noah called @meghanmayhem using a private number, if he is using his normal phone then he is not hiding his call history.

      Maybe Noah sent a burner phone because he knows that our phones are being monitored…
      Maybe it’s not really Noah calling…

      Maybe diabetes really messes with the brain…
      Someone should get Noah a burner phone.

      @lazysmartperson One would assume that a call in his history to an unknown phone number (burner phone) looks less suspicious than a call in his history to my cellphone number which she has.
