@daela Again, these are all things that you all brought upon yourselves. You’re basically saying that the OSDM should be stopped because they brought out parts of yourselves that you didn’t like. Sounds to me like they did you a big favor, by teaching you things about yourselves.

I wasn’t around for this, but couldn’t everyone have gone to the other person directly to resolve the issue?

Once we started catching on to what was happening, we did. But I didn’t intend to make that seem like we were blameless victims – more to shine a light on what OSDM enjoys doing, the tactics they use, what they stand for. OSDM did the…[Read more]

Personal responsibility is a thing. We make our own decisions in the end. We choose to allow outside powers dictate to us what we can and cannot do. How we should and should not react. We choose to turn on each other. We choose to betray and undermine friends. Not the OOA. Not the OSDM. Us.

they literally ordered us to betray and/or undermine each other.

It’s awful that the OOA did this. But, I still maintain that it was/is the individual’s choice whether or not to follow said orders. Particularly orders from an organization of dubious trustworthiness.

@daela I wasn’t around for this, but couldn’t everyone have gone to the other person directly to resolve the issue? And honest question here, what made people want to comply with these requests?

No one can _make_ you turn against someone else. That decision is on the individual.

I should probably flesh that out a bit more.

There were a few specific examples I had in mind, from the Tension era:

– The OOA told Person A that Person B was a detractor, and told Person B that Person A was a detractor. They set them both to spy on each…[Read more]

@111error, you’ve told us why we shouldn’t support the OSDM. If they are murderers and rapists, why would we support them? However, we also do not need to support the BOS either. Everything doesn’t have to be black and white.

So why do you need us? For numbers?

At this point, BOS does seem like A Good Thing. I want to help, but everything I (think I) know about OSDM and their injustices is all second-hand. Engaging for the sake of engaging would feel disingenuous and fake. For all the outrage in the world, what could possibly be done from an ocean away?

And then there’s the fact that we really don’t…[Read more]

THEY’VE GATHERED OUR INFORMATION.

They’ve gathered information that _we provided_ to them. How is this any different (or nefarious) than what Google, Amazon, etc, etc, etc. does on a daily basis?

THEY’VE TURNED US AGAINST ONE ANOTHER.

No one can _make_ you turn against someone else. That decision is on the individual.

I wholeheartedly understand and acknowledge that your version of stance is one that you got to through cause and effect, @daela. I don’t have any problem with why you chose the way you do.

It’s very, very hard for me to do the same–because even being told “they rape and kidnap people” etc. is hard for me–because I’m really certain that much of…[Read more]

So far, I’ve seen @nothenrygale complain about stuff he brought upon himself when he signed up for Lust, and @daela condemning the OSDM for Tension stuff that was later revealed to be theater.

Just to be clear, I specifically stayed away from anything making accusations that could have been dismissed as theater.

This is what I said:…[Read more]

Dearest Morgan, I shall see where I stand after your followers present their evidence.

So far, I’ve seen @nothenrygale complain about stuff he brought upon himself when he signed up for Lust, and @daela condemning the OSDM for Tension stuff that was later revealed to be theater. If this is their evidence, I’m not impressed.

If this isn’t a game,…[Read more]

@111error I’m in.

Also, “hard outcomes”

I feel like this will be accurate either way.

Also, “hard outcomes”

@111error

I appreciate the anagrams.

I will contemplate the rest.

@unseenpresence

You want me, Morgan? Tell me why.

Because the OSDM kidnaps and tortures people, holds them hostage and forcibly rapes them because they believe that’s how they can raise an ancient God.

If you need any more information than this as to why I oppose them, I’m not entirely sure why or what else I could possibly tell you, and I’ve n…[Read more]
