5.2 Brief Clint Sears update

Back when DLB and CS were booted (back in February IIRC), and it seemed like stuff on his FB page was in-game, I requested to add him to follow along. He never accepted and I thought nothing more of it.

Out of the blue, he accepted it 4 days ago. Maybe he’s realizing we’re in too deep and wants to keep an eye on us to try to warn us?

Shit. Thanks for shooting off that email, Bryan, that was very smart thinking of you.

So is it safe-ish to say at this point that all the shifts with the Investors and such are more of a hijacking than something that’s been in “control” all along? Like the fact that they kept going out of their way yesterday to communicate to us that it’s JUST AN IMMERSIVE THEATER THING is a way to misdirect us from the fact that this is something that’s been taken out of Darren and Clint and Gordon’s hands and turned into something a bit more sinister? I think signs point to a hijacking/change of plans because the Investors took a while to reveal themselves, and the Registration date turned from “The System” registration to “The Lust Experience” registration? Maybe whoever was behind the System (which remember came to us via spam, a hijacking of sorts in itself) saw that it wasn’t working to pull us in how they wanted, got rid of Sarah, and decided to switch their interests to this immersive theater Lust experience thing…

Sorry for the ramble, My mind is going a mile a minute right now.

@nothenrygale Same thing happened to me. Usually when a guy friends me after midnight I’m like ….hmmmmm. But when it’s Clint Sears i’m like HMMMMM!

@lilmsfancpants….

But when it’s Clint Sears i’m like MMMMM!

Fixed that for ya 😉

@lilmsfancpants Did he friend you, or did you friend him and he just accepted it later?

@nothenrygale The latter. But it sounds like the same day that he accepted your request.

@mike PERFECT.

Din’t we see “Clint Sears” edit your post?

I’ve been chewing on something for a while now, figured I’d share it here.

Once Darren and Clint were outed as the ‘creators’ of Tension, Darren talked a bit throughout many interviews and podcasts about how they didn’t want to be exposed in the beginning and went through the “Ellis Gordon” stuff to hide their involvement out of the belief that they wanted this to stand independent of the people who made it; they wanted this to grow organically rather than being associated with filmmaker Darren Lynn Bousman.

I’ve been wondering as to whether all the stuff with Darren and Clint lately is a cover. A smokescreen to make it look like they’ve been removed from the project. Darren, at the very least, had no problems remaining in the shadows throughout Tension and only decided to come clean once things revolving Ascension ticket sales became not favorable to the Investors. If Ascension had gone as planned without the initial slump in sales, I’d imagine Darren wouldn’t have ever revealed himself.

So if that’s true, could Darren and Clint still be working on Lust in the shadows once more while we’re all led to believe they’ve got nothing to do with it?

@hazelverse It was an OOG nip-it-in-the-bud situation. They probably would have felt bad deleting everything Chris wrote so they just edited.

Clint also accepted my friend request on Facebook late at night a few days ago, thing is I honestly don’t remember sending him a request. It’s not in my nature to reach out like that. I was so freaked out that I changed so my password. But I guess it’s possible I forgot doing it.

… but was it?
