I agree with @meghanmayhem. Everyone get onto the island, grab a random backpack, and fight this shit out Battle Royale style to see who gets it.
-

That’s what it sounds like to me.

As long as we understand that we’re voting and potentially getting hopes up for no reason, I suppose it couldn’t hurt to assemble a list and vote, eh?
How about people who are available and interested and could make it to the area for Thursday put their names in here and later today I can make an online poll so that we can vote?
-
Well… that will give us Losers something to ponder over tomorrow evening.
90013 is Boyle Heights area yeah?

I definitely think it should be one of the more active new comers.

@thegilded I want it so bad. it’s only a 50 minute drive from me (nothing by California standards!) I’m so available, and be available with no time constraint . Though I know many people have gotten either rejected or nothing, I got super nothing from my email. And I missed the wave of all the pre-tension fun. I just, oh man, I want it so bad.

This could truly be awkward, yes. We would have to stress that this vote may absolutely be leading to nothing. But dealing with awkwardness and hurt hopes seems preferable to not choosing someone when we should have.
I also absolutely agree with @thebuz

Throwing @emilee in the list if we’re creating one. she lives in Hollywood.

In the past if the community were to nominate someone, we were told specifically to do so.
Just posting a zip code could create a free-for-all if it’s to be a live drop of some kind.
Personally, I agree with the idea that this is more specific.
Keep an eye on those emails and phones, folks!
@julierei Good point 😉
@thegilded If this were Battle Royale… you’d kick everybody’s ass. -
@nothenrygale, Luck or lack there of, is only a matter of perspective.
-
@russell – Not true, it depends what we got in our backpacks. If it were a Battle Royal, then yes, @thegilded would throw us over the top rope 2 people at a time
-
Any future posts that imply the veterans aren’t inclusive of newbies gets a link to this thread from me. Well played, even if a vote isn’t needed! Whoever/whatever it is be safe and enjoy.
-
“Only the active move forward.”
If we do offer poll results for The Powers That Be’s consideration I’ll always take this mantra in mind first and foremost.
I would also take into consideration the potential motives of the nominee, as well as their perceived endurance.
If a newer participant fits these criteria I would vote for them over a veteran.
-
@ziegenbart Agreed. The OG’s are G’s to begin with for a reason. 🙂
-

I’m not sure this is a choice. Like @russell-eaton said. When we were given one before it was stated. This is a plan. They already know who they want. Look at @lilmsfancpants and @bcbishop They were chosen for a reason.

You know, I’m in a precarious position within the grand scheme of the game. Totem pole style.
I was a super late comer and didn’t really participate in the ARG at all, never had a single ARG interaction.
But once I came into the game at the end during Ascension, I came in hard and due to my interactions with the participants and creators, I often seem at a glance like an old timer when in fact, naaah. I never got to play. I wanna play. Hey Noah, I wanna play! -
-
I’m going to throw out my support for @michelle, in case it matters.
-
-
@hazelverse that could be very true. I like the idea of the community sending like, an ambassador (or sacrificial lamb) but nothing is random, I wouldn’t doubt the Sinclair’s have an idea of who they want.

@wanda102, LOL!! They should find an alternate tiki bar downtown! Or a “shadow” tiki bar…whomp, whomp.

@larry coincidentally I’m placing an order for nitrile gloves right now…
-

@coryphella Goodness. *kisses you*
I agree that I think they may already have in mind who it is or may have a task that needs to be completed in order to be chosen. My bet is the already know.
That being said, there were many of us who are considered OG ARG participants and didn’t get any one on ones or dead drops. It was a very select few who did. I imagine this could go to anyone (OG, newbie, or middle of the game participant). I’m sure whomever is chosen will be worthy and I look forward to what transpires from it.
Who will be met? OSDM? Noah? Sarah? Michelle? Someone new?
-
@coryphella As long as I don’t find you standing in my urologist’s office on my next visit, you’re good to go.
-
-
@larry – I have hundreds of hours at the range and some light combat training so I could probably do well on the fireteam….
But I also main Pharah and have some Reaper experience so it may be best if I stay on Overwatch
-
@thegilded There’s a Shadow Step joke in there somewhere…
-
@thegilded @larry CALM DOWN, gentlemen!
@michelle It’s probably Noah. The way that information is being doled out sounds the same as the emails that @bcbishop and I received last week. Super terse and vague. He’s a busy guy! -
If @thegilded and I joined forces in a Battle Royale scenario everyone is dead already.
-
“If @thegilded and I joined forces in a Battle Royale scenario everyone is dead already.”
Of course that’s what you two would be saying… right until Susie machine gunned you from behind.

-
@thegilded Ah yes. When my arms were super tan and I was pushing too many pencils.
-
-
I’m going to take a wild guess that @thegilded was actually holding some form of hard liquor in the original pic.
-
-
@sfire8 hey Villains Tavern is right over there and they make cocktails in mason jars JUST saying…
-
-
@blondie I’m glad I’m not the only one that appears like a genie when you uncap a bottle of whiskey.
-
-
@thegilded hey, we’re supposed to calm down cuz @lilmsfancpants is all doe-eyed over fucking charming fucking sociopath Noah and not take adequate precautions?
Does she think this is some fucking Jane fucking Austen novel? This is a broad ranging conspiracy of monumental proportions. So pardon me while I pop a champagne cork into the back of your head for your own good, Lia-San.
You’ve been seduced. Shake it off! You have to remain clear-eyed and frosty if we hope to survive from one day to the next. We are all in this together and I don’t want to be calling in a cleaner to scrape up your crispy remains from the floor of some warehouse.
I mean that all in a nice way, of course. ?
-
Pretty sure @thegilded and I would make it to the end ????
-
@larry, Mr. Darcy fantasies aside, we just don’t have the whole story yet. We don’t have enough information to prove that Noah is OSDM incarnate. Also, It sounds like there are plenty of other people that sent emails vying for his attention and willing to give something up to be taken under his wing.
Both Bryan and I were invited to be on his team. Well, I was invited. @bcbishop was… coerced. Either way, my initial emails to him and Sarah were brutal, but honest and I’m happy where I am.
If things ever turn south, I know how to take care of myself. And I’ll have the intel to help bring that sweet talking, son of a bitch down.
-
@lilmsfancpants, you go girl! Of course you can take care of yourself! And being open to the experience is what this is all about right??
-
-
@lilmsfancpants wellllll, okayyyyyyy, if you say so, but out here, “Friendlies” turn into “butchers” in an instant. Whomever goes should at least wear a Kevlar vest and carry a few grenades.
-
In the unlikely event of a BR scenario:
Look, I’m not saying not to trust the plucky hackers (@winstonsmith, etc)… but I certainly wouldn’t trust us. (She said, being equal parts Mimura and Mitsuko…) -
@lilmsfancpants You’re on a dark path.
First you think you’re playing it close to the chest, playing the game, waiting for your moment.
Next thing you know you’re hate strangling a midget on a couch some where in Boyle Heights in front of a webcam.
Watch your step. Your soul is at stake.
-
-
@Larry, you don’t really think a kevlar vest and weaponry are going to save you from what Noah Sinclair (or the OSDM) have planned, do you? You most of all know their battleground isn’t your body. It’s your mind. And they’re already inside.
Cannot wait to see what happens tomorrow night. Awfully convenient that they just happened to pick the same night as @thebuz’s group hang — particularly since @lilmsfancpants and I were from the “winners” email list. Perhaps it’s time for one of the other group of respondents to get some facetime?
-
@bcbishop I was thinking the same damn thing.
I certainly posted about it before they made that fb post.
Only issue is that we’re at a bar in NoHo Arts District. Not Downtown LA.
So… it probably won’t be something happening during the meet up, but more than likely right before. Or hell it may be during. We’re meeting at 7:30 and traffic won’t be awful. So they may call us and force us to choose… a winner amongst the losers.
Who knows though. They are anything but predictable.

@sfire8 @thebuz It’s not fun unless things get a little messy. I’m done with playing it safe.

I like this very much @lilmsfancpants. If there’s anything I’ve learned throughout my time with OSDM and associated, it’s to keep an open mind and don’t dig your heels in too deeply. That seems a really quick way to end up wrong or marginalized. Around here, things are usually never what they first seem. I will always listen, even if the speaker is my perceived enemy.
-
-
@larry I feel like if they meant the collective “ONE” they would’ve written it out as “Only THE ONE” rather than “Only 1”. Though we’ll find out for sure tomorrow!
-
@larry One ring to rule them all?
-
@wanda102 Don’t get me started, Arwen.
-
@larry I actually had the same thought for a brief moment of The One. FWIW if we were voting for a pick I’d pick you.
-
@larry I’d like to think of myself as more of a Galadriel, honestly. ?
-
-
I vote @larry… He’s squishy…
-
@wanda102 If I should ever need your help, I know you will come.
-
-
Late to the party because timezones. I also think “only 1” refers to one person, though I wouldn’t cross off other possibilities as well. I wonder why they went with the 90013 zip, out of all of the areas in Los Angeles? Does anyone familiar with the area know if there’s a location of interest there that could be used for whatever it is that might happen?
-
@larry, you should totally be the person to go 😀 The theories you’d come back with would be gold!!
-
Just gonna throw this out there. I literally have the entire day and night off tomorrow. It’s one of my only days off and my only plan was to do my taxes….I would MUCH rather be constantly on my phone checking periscope and just chilling downtown for a long stretch of time. #nolifeonthursday
