THEM

[Addison Participant]

@thecontroller
@thevoyeur

Maybe @lustadder ?

Who else may not be “one of us?”

And who’s going to be the first of them to break the silence?

[Megan Participant]

I was just wondering the same thing. also maybe @wiretrees?

@wiretrees looks suspect too…

All four were created before the site went live, they’re all suspect.

[Mike Participant]

No Michelle yet? Where is she hiding?

[Megan Participant]

Maybe Michelle is @thecontroller?

[Meghan Mayhem Participant]

If Michelle would be any of them, she would most certainly be @thecontroller.
That powerhungry bitch.

[Andrew Kasch Participant]

We don’t know if the OSDM is behind this yet. A lot can happen in a couple of months…

[Anonymous]

Well, they are proudly presenting it…

[Carl Webb Participant]

I of course am not suspect.

[Mike Participant]

@kasch – I’d bet they’re behind this AND the Fangoria announcement. Bastards.

[Andrew Kasch Participant]

Michelle pissed off a lot of people…some very powerful. I wonder if we can count her among the living.

[Taylor Winters Participant]

Interestingly, those users have nice pictures behind their names while we do not. I find that interesting and definitely differentiates them.

[Kyle Bown Participant]

I think anyone can put pictures behind their names. I did.

[M. Participant]

I think my photo is rather nice.

[JakeO Participant]

These profile pictures are rather…suspect

[Mustafa Said Participant]

First, I think my pic is pretty nice lol.

Second, we already know that ODSM is behind whatever this is going to be. I wonder how long it’ll take for Michelle to come out of hiding.

I’d guess that whoever is the first to break their silence, it’ll happen tomorrow.

@jakeo – I hate/love you so hard right now

Out of all of them, @wiretrees seems to have the first activity, at roughly 2p PST, with the rest firing up around 5p PST. Perhaps worth noting? The names suggest that @thecontroller will be leading us but @wiretrees may be playing a rather large roll, as well.

No idea on the other two, though. @lustadder could possibly either refer to someone who is going to be enhancing the experience by, in some way, adding lust? Or perhaps “adder” is a snake reference, as in the snake that offered Eve the apple? And @thevoyeur is just… what, a watcher? Just here for the show?

God DAMN I’ve missed blind speculation

[Kaley Participant]

I have missed this. Blindly following and trying to answer questions with the scraps we are given. Always in it together. Excited for new beginnings and where it will lead. Let’s see it through, from day one till the end. xx

[Meghan Mayhem Participant]

I totally get behind lustadder being a reference to the temptation of the snake.

[Melissa Participant]

@meghanmayhem

I totally get behind lustadder being a reference to the temptation of the snake.

Yes and we see the snake in the homepage. Reference: the icon with “sin with perfection”

[Maranda Participant]

We don’t know if Michelle is any of the four though. It could be her bosses, or perhaps her underlings.

[Blondie Participant]

@michelle I think your photo is nice too <3 Maybe @taysavestheday is just speaking for himself 😛

[M. Participant]

@blondie 1000 ?… Thank you xx I think your photo is nice too!

[Taylor Winters Participant]

@blondie, I am! I wish we all could have as nice of pictures as @michelle. A man can dream, right?

[Blondie Participant]

@taysavestheday Dreams can come true… *adds “Give Taylor a makeover and profile pic photoshoot” to the “To Do Next Time I Visit LA” list*

[Masomoment Participant]

So very interesting… *goes to compare everyones profile*

[GoldTongue Participant]

So happy to be back.

[Kimberly Stewart Participant]

@lustadder seems to be taking the role that Addison Barrow had in the earliest days of Tension… that of innocuous website admin who published new items.

[Kimberly Stewart Participant]

Seems to be some issues uploading images right now, so I’ll do it the low-tech way. To demonstrate what I mean regarding @lustadder‘s role so far, look here:

lustadder website adds

[Meghan Mayhem Participant]

LustAdder and WireTrees don’t seem to have been active since the creation of the forum, however TheController and TheVoyeur have both logged in recently (though they haven’t posted or favorited anything in that time period).

[Jackie Participant]

I’m betting on The Controller will make first contact. With a name like that, how could they not?

[Meghan Mayhem Participant]

TheController already made first contact yesterday, but deleted the comment quickly afterwards.

[Sean Moderator]

@meghanmayhem – I missed that. What did they say?

[Meghan Mayhem Participant]

@kipsie posted that the site seemed to just be a WordPress page, and that she hadn’t found anything interesting yet. TheController responded with something like “Are you sure? Keep looking”. That’s when Kipsie found the source code note addressed to her with the “Maybe this is interesting? FEB15 7PM” line. By the time it was found, TheController’s post was gone.

[Josiah Salazar Participant]

Where do we think the FEB15 7PM is leading us? On here? Or something like facebook or twitter? that means I should get a twitter huh?

[Sage Participant]

Wire Tree seems to be the makers of the Tension website. “Website experience by Wire Tree”.

[Sean Moderator]

@sfire8 – Damn, nice find. So we’re looking at…

WireTree – Site creator, admin
LustAdder – Content creator

TheController, TheVoyeur are going to be involved with the community, maybe?

[Meghan Mayhem Participant]

WireTree is a WordPress maintenance site out of Canada.

[Christine Barger Participant]

Doesn’t is say participant under our names? Does it theirs?

[Michel Rheault Participant]

edit: forget it, just realised i was late in the conversation.

Truly constructive participation: Put a alarm for tomorrow Feb 15 7pm in my icloud calendar.

[Julie R Goldstein Participant]

There is only one controller and their name is Anoch. I smell a false prophet.

[Michel Rheault Participant]

Until now you all assumed it is a direct sequel, whiles i think it would be a different world.

[Addison Participant]

I’m still catching up on this and running on like 2 hours of sleep, so apologies if this goes off the rails, but I just realized we have a handy dandy timeline of account creation now, right? On the profile pages, clicking the arrow to the left or right seemingly shows which account was created before or after the one you’re looking at, respectively..

So clicking all the way to the left, these special people were registered in this order:
@lustadder
@wiretrees
@thecontroller
@thevoyeur

then @kipsie was the first regular participant in the forums, followed by @coryphella, @bcbishop, and so on.

Really cool that @kipsie was first in and also got the callout in the site source!

But maybe this is a pecking order? There are no gatekeepers or anything of that nature just yet, but what if we have another light2dark, or Aleister, or anyone of that nature already here?
