Without even managing to be part of that conversation, I’m RIGHT where you are, @remrelganaps.

Of course, perhaps Morgan hasn’t called me because I’ve already told him that directly. If Morgan wants me to join, I’d like to know -exactly what- I would be getting into. What I’ve seen so far doesn’t quite add up for me.

But I’m more than willing to…[Read more]

Morgan called me after he called Sam (I was part of the Slack discussion, along with @silvitni, who also received a call but missed it). He told me he was happy I enjoyed his little puzzles. On Slack, I had told Sam that the puzzles technically weren’t really meant for us (i.e. non-BOS). On the phone, Morgan said, “Technically, the puzzles were for…[Read more]

@meghanmayhem But why choose this particular phone call to restrict? That’s where I’m confused.

@silvitni I meannnn, I’m pretty sure he already did give out his number recently. I seem to recall quite the queue to have a chat. I seem to remember 4 or 5 hours of chats in fact.

So, we are down to a ‘You’re either with us or against us’ mentality then? If we don’t choose BOS, we must be OSDM? That is bullshit.

Also, for someone who recently started flouting transparency, why hide behind a restricted phone call? That isn’t being very transparent.

@chloe This is an interesting idea, but just doesn’t track for me. There’s a difference between renaming a local business that has a strong customer base and renaming one that you’re convinced has done terrible things. Extreme example, but if you bought Blackwater and wanted to do something different with it, actually, in total opposition to it…[Read more]

@chelsea I had always thought of BOS (including non “participants”) as a multiple person group. Morgan along with the dude we saw at that TMC event, Jenna, Stacey, etc. Though they have been quite lowkey recently so who knows if they’re still around or if maybe they dipped out in fear of being burned.

I do hope they’re still around helping…[Read more]

So sorry for the delay in this! Here’s a recap of my call with Morgan from Friday.

I was told a lot of the same things as the rest of you. He said, after a rather awkward introduction, that he was going to answer questions. I asked, “What do you know that you haven’t already told us?”

M: Well, I knew about the document that got released on…[Read more]

Well said @bcbishop, but I do have one thing I disagree on

Anyone promoting The Experience would work for OSDM.

I don’t think Morgan is wanting to go the same way the OSDM has been with Lust/The Experiences. I’m guessing we’ll be getting somewhat similar stuff with phone calls, dead drops, etc. But, ultimately, it’s probably going to be a…[Read more]

Thank you, both @bcbishop and @daela, for this particular aspect of the debate.

I continue to think long and hard about the idea of agency in both this particular case and in the larger scope of the world and my own ability. I think both of you have raised good points and I agree that contemplating ways to interact that are active but not…[Read more]

If the BOS failed at the MSE, I think they might have learned from it and are doing things differently now (the last week proved that). Morgan said it’s a new game and everything’s changed. If they are open to change, then I am open to change…

But let’s not speak vaguely or carelessly about participants taking matters into their own hands.

With all due respect, I didn’t.

I talked about demonstrating agency. Outside of Morgan, the BOS action consisted of standing quietly and staring really hard. Nobody asked how any of the people in the room were doing. Nobody approached another and…[Read more]

These are all fair points, @bcbishop – and I’ll add that there’s another inconsistency that’s gone unmentioned, the fact that Morgan indicated that the OSDM and the OOA have gone silent, yet he played a recording for Kristin of a shadowy someone ordering Darren to stick to the script just a few days ago. The playground clearly hasn’t been fully…[Read more]
