From Lust’s page on Facebook:
“90013 – Thursday – Only 1”
I absolutely don’t believe this is a code. This is a zip code and an invitation that only one person is going to see something tomorrow.
But what, and who?
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:43 am #4271Mustafa SaidParticipant
First come first served.

March 29, 2017 at 11:43 am #4272Brad RuweParticipant
*FURIOUSLY BEGINS SPECULATING*
But for real, this should get very interesting. Wonder how they determine the 1? Gonna be a Periscope drop?
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:43 am #4273Michael RizzoParticipant
Wondering if maybe this is to be a community decision? Pick one to be in the zip on Thursday?
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:44 am #4274SeanModerator
I’ll be straight shocked if it’s first come first served. I have to imagine that someone’s going to be getting a call or a message today or tomorrow.

It could be a community pick, maybe a Periscope that shows the location?
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:47 am #4278SeanModerator
It’s definitely premature to make plans for us to choose who to send, but if it is going to be our decision, I’d say that we choose someone active who hasn’t been previously engaged.
Spread that shit around, yo.

Now is it voting in a tribute, or battle to the death?
-

It definitely sounds like they’re goading us to pick a single person.
Let’s throw all the new people into the Thunderdome and see who comes out!

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.

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?
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:54 am #4289AnonymousInactive
Well… that will give us Losers something to ponder over tomorrow evening.
90013 is Boyle Heights area yeah?
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:54 am #4290Brad RuweParticipant
It depends on the time for me. If it’s lunch time I could hop the red line down to Pershing Square station from my office on my lunch break. If it’s an evening thing I could do the same. If it’s “work hours” I’m a no-go.
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:54 am #4291CandaceParticipant
I feel like it would be awkward to vote and then it turns out to be that they already have someone in mind who they’re planning to contact. Wouldn’t they be clear if they wanted us to choose?
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:55 am #4292AnonymousInactive
I definitely think it should be one of the more active new comers.
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:55 am #4293JackieParticipant
@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.
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:56 am #4294CandaceParticipant
90013 is downtown LA isn’t it? That’s what came up on my gps. Or at least around that area.
-
March 29, 2017 at 11:58 am #4296SeanModerator
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

Can I just point out that 13 is seen as unlucky? Whomever goes is probably not going to have a good time in 90013.
-
March 29, 2017 at 12:08 pm #4304RussellParticipant
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. -
March 29, 2017 at 12:11 pm #4306JackieParticipant
@nothenrygale, Luck or lack there of, is only a matter of perspective.
-
March 29, 2017 at 12:11 pm #4307MikeParticipant
@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
-
March 29, 2017 at 12:13 pm #4308AnonymousInactive
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.
-
March 29, 2017 at 12:14 pm #4309Kimberly StewartParticipant
“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.

March 29, 2017 at 12:14 pm #4310LiaParticipant
@ziegenbart Agreed. The OG’s are G’s to begin with for a reason. 🙂

I am so ready for these games to roll, and available for the challenge. 🙂
(But excited for WHOEVER gets either chosen or selected!!!)

March 29, 2017 at 12:16 pm #4312SageParticipant
Darn, I’m trying to be active and I live in LA, but Thursday is a no go for me this week.
-
March 29, 2017 at 12:17 pm #4313NosnevetsParticipant
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.
-
March 29, 2017 at 12:18 pm #4314thehazelverseParticipant
True, but maybe this is a way for them to sus out who’s even able to participate during said date.
-
March 29, 2017 at 12:19 pm #4315Meghan MayhemParticipant
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! -
March 29, 2017 at 12:21 pm #4316thehazelverseParticipant
In the grand scheme of things, there are more of us that haven’t really gotten to play than have… so it’s anyone’s bet who they’ll have in mind. 🙂

March 29, 2017 at 12:23 pm #4318Kyle BownParticipant
Fascinating. As with others, can totally be available during the evening/night time. But it sounds like, if we are to choose, there are people with much broader availability.
Can’t wait to see what happens.
-
March 29, 2017 at 12:25 pm #4319JackieParticipant
@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.

We are so easily manipulated.

March 29, 2017 at 12:27 pm #4323KevinParticipant
I’ll throw my hat into the ring for this. If it goes down between like 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM, I can be available.
As an alternative to voting, maybe some kind of Tension-esque puzzle to solve for those that are available could work? Might help to avoid some drama from a public vote.

I think the more important questions are:
Who’s handling the overwatch?
Who’s most proficient with a sniper rifle, since Damien can’t be trusted?
Who’s commanding the strike team?
Who’s providing the nitrile gloves? -

@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?

@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! -

March 29, 2017 at 2:55 pm #4357Lawrence MeyersParticipant
@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 ????
-
March 29, 2017 at 3:15 pm #4360LiaParticipant
@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 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.

@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.
-
March 29, 2017 at 3:34 pm #4367Meghan MayhemParticipant
@thebuz “hate strangling a midget on a couch somewhere in Boyle Heights in front of a webcam” is basically my romantic opener.
-
March 29, 2017 at 3:39 pm #4370Bryan BishopParticipant
@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?
-
March 29, 2017 at 3:43 pm #4372AnonymousInactive
@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.

It is a bit suspicious that they do this on the day of the “Losers Meetup”. Maybe Noah is picking one of his “winners” to deliver a message to those of us grabbing drinks in NoHo?
EDIT: Just saw the earlier message saying something similar.

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.

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?
