Just received this email from Stacey.
Hello,
I am very excited to inform you that we have begun the pairing process between you and your iConfidant. All correspondence with your iConfidant will come through our secure iConfidant email servers. It is paramount that when responding to your new iConfidant match you always reply to the thread and do not start a chain of new emails. Once a relationship is formed, and a level of trust is earned, your iConfidant may offer you a personal email account to correspond through. Please understand that it is up to each individual iConfidant if they choose to provide you with a personal email address, or continue to communicate through the iConfidant-provided address.
Now I realize and hope that this is as exciting to you as it is to us but that being said please be patient and don’t be upset if your pairing process takes a little longer than one of your friend’s. The sheer volume of valuable information we are dealing with here is exhilarating but also takes time to go through. To us here at iConfidant it is absolutely critical that we find the right match for each and every one of you. I can assure you that we won’t disappoint. In the meantime, I am here if you need me and …
With love,
Stacey Erikson

That wording is sus AF.
That who we’re paired with is not said to be another person, that we are not all referred to as iConfidants, but that we will each get our own iconfidant.This ain’t people, you guys.
Watch your step.

“The sheer volume of valuable information we are dealing with here is exhilarating…”
More sinister than anything Sarah has ever said.

April 26, 2017 at 7:29 pm #11307Hannah SchenckParticipant
They will either be blind date type setups through their email system using us as pairs or it’s going to be some kind of AI that corresponds with us to gage our reactions and log our information to then be used against us in some way…
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:30 pm #11308Lukas LParticipant
This sould be interesting. I got that email too except I told stacy I didn’t need an iConfidant, and I was kinda a creep to her. Makes me a tad nervious.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:30 pm #11309Mustafa SaidParticipant
This feels kinda weird..I mean, trying to create some sort of ideal unique and personal companion for every single person who’s a part of the beta?
I’m not getting a good vibe out of this.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:31 pm #11310Winston SmithParticipant
Me too. I guess we all get our special new buddies real soon now. These iConfidants better not be goddamned AOLiza bots.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:31 pm #11311JackieParticipant
We have to see if we’re paired with each other. If not, and there’s no matches, then like @meghanmayhem says, “this ain’t people”.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:32 pm #11312Hannah SchenckParticipant
@theladyj that statement deserves a poster hahaha
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:32 pm #11313Bryan BishopParticipant
Personally, I’m quite looking forward to seeing what kind of relationship I can build with my iConfidant. The possibility of moving the conversation to a private email address is even more intriguing.
Just one thing gives me pause: isn’t “exhilarating” an odd way to describe an overwhelming data throughput issue? Unless one was excited at the prospect of collecting said data, of course.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:33 pm #11314Hannah SchenckParticipant
@bcbishop someone is definitely excited to collect all of the data lol
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:34 pm #11315Andrew KaschParticipant
Good luck to everyone and their matches.
So bummed Noah fucked this one up for me. I would advise that everyone going through this program keep heavy tabs on their correspondances.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:35 pm #11316JackieParticipant
Also:
It is paramount that when responding to your new iConfidant match you always reply to the thread and do not start a chain of new emails.1) yes polite. 2) robits! To avoid a cataclysm of unorganized data so said robits you’re personally training, can process things in a sequential way.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:35 pm #11317ChrisParticipant
WTF . Where are they getting the “sheer volume of valuable information”, and why is it exhilarating?
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:35 pm #11318Brad RuweParticipant
I mean, a scientist having a lot of data for their research isn’t inherently sketchy, but given the suspicions of info phishing it def is alarming. I know if I was testing a new product I’d be overjoyed to have a large userbase to get test results from. But yeeeeeeeah, something’s a bit off.
I still welcome our new AI overlords.

I’m excited. Maybe they cloned Sa… nope, still can’t say it.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:43 pm #11322Andrew KaschParticipant
Seems like she was cut off in the middle of the e-mail.
Her radio silence to e-mails and social media makes me wonder if that was even her that wrote this.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:46 pm #11323Hannah SchenckParticipant
@kasch that’s an interesting theory to the way that email abruptly ended. I thought it was deliberately done to have you wonder what else she is here to help us with, but now you have my brain wondering something different sinulataneously lol
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:46 pm #11324ChloeParticipant

April 26, 2017 at 7:47 pm #11327JackieParticipant
WAIT.
This gets dropped the same day Sarah fears for her and her son’s life?
Whom ever is pulling the strings is distracting us with our own selfish storylines! Why worry about HER when we’ve got our perfect person?!
@kasch @lilmsfancpants
Ya’ll might be the heroes of the Sinclair storyline! -

April 26, 2017 at 7:50 pm #11329GoldTongueParticipant
The level of paranoia in here is annoying. Stacy is providing a new service. The simple request of keeping correspondence to a single thread is logical and practical. I have no doubt that everything will be secure.
Also, again with the robots? People, this is real life. Not an Isaac Asimov novel. Yeesh.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:54 pm #11330Brad RuweParticipant
Hey @goldtongue, that’s something a robot would say! Have something to tell us?
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:56 pm #11331AnonymousInactive
I think we may actually end up secretly talking with each other.
Which could be hilarious and awesome.
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:58 pm #11332AnonymousInactive
Received the email. My input: Did anyone else notice that the last sentence cuts off with “and…”? It could be just me though
-
April 26, 2017 at 7:58 pm #11333AnonymousInactive
Just got my email as well! Seems that everyone got the same one. The … is definitely SUS
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:01 pm #11334Brad RuweParticipant
@thebuz That would be absolutely hilarious, but we’d pick up on it fairly quickly right? Like when we’d say our full names?
WAIT WHAT IF WE GET PAIRED UP WITH AN AI VERSION OF ANOTHER PERSON
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:02 pm #11335Tim RedmanParticipant
@shinobi If you can’t ask for Sadie, how are you going to get your Sadie?
I don’t think she was cut off. When people get off do they usually have time to add … ?
I don’t see anything wrong here. This is all going to work out great.
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:04 pm #11336Kyle BownParticipant
I had the same thought @buz, but I find the personal email offer being one sided interesting and a little informative. Makes me feel like it’s almost certain that our new friends are not going to be other Lusters.
@timsmyname It’s like Holy Grail. “If he was dying he wouldn’t bother to carve Agghhh.”Keeping it in one chain I find less suspicious than others. I have issues when someone starts a new chain needlessly. It makes it harder to find information and clogs my inbox.
How many people do we think are in the beta? 96 people have liked their Facebook page. So is that the floor or the ceiling?
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:05 pm #11337111errorParticipant
@goldtongue You did see what happened yesterday, right? Especially the phone call of endless sobbing and then an apology for me being used in some way?
This isn’t Disneyland, suspicion is warranted.
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:13 pm #11338ShaunParticipant
@bruinbown I wouldn’t be so concerned about the one sided email address hiding because I think they’ll be routing our emails to our iConfidant the same way we are receiving them (ie anonymized)
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:16 pm #11339
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:18 pm #11340Lawrence MeyersParticipant
Did I mention I’m excited about my new personal hand-holding service? I already have 96 people signed up and can’t start waiting to get to know each and everyone of them is DEEP INTIMATE DETAIL.
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:21 pm #11341AnonymousInactive
@timsmyname You just confused the shit out of me.

April 26, 2017 at 8:31 pm #11342JeremyParticipant
I’m excited to start a relationship with my iConfidant.
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:36 pm #11343AnonymousInactive
Is anyone else thinking this may turn into a friendship cube situation? Cause I’m getting friendship cube vibes…
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:47 pm #11344ShaunParticipant
@bruinbown ah got it. That is a bit strange eh? If we never get that offer ourselves then we aren’t confidants for others.
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:49 pm #11345MelissaParticipant
Woo! I got the same email! I’m excited about this! ?
-
April 26, 2017 at 8:54 pm #11346Tim RedmanParticipant
@shinobi let me know when any of this makes sense 🙂

@nothenrygale I’m not a robot. I’m just a dude who needs help in al aspects of his life. If Noah and sweet Sarah Sinclair can’t help me I’m hoping Stacey can!
I have faith in humanity.
-
April 26, 2017 at 9:50 pm #11352Brian EParticipant
I got this email today too, I’m looking forward to seeing how all this plays out, and looking forward to seeing were the rabbit hole leads. I do like the fact that it’s a secure email chain, that’s a smart idea, perhaps this is due to @kasch own interaction, it’ll be interesting to see where this goes.
Still waiting to see what everyones Iconfidant pictures are as well.

I got the email as well but I’m gonna give Stacy the benefit of the doubt. If she breaks my heart with a robot dude I will scream though
-
April 26, 2017 at 11:21 pm #11356Alecia SteinerParticipant
I got the email too. I asked Stacey what else she’s here for. Curious about the “and…” Definitely excited for whatever awaits!

So yeah guys… I’m gonna try a different approach this time… Instead of not trusting anything or anyone… I’m gonna give some trust in this iConfidant business.
I’m gonna go prepare myself for the shitstorm and inevitable betrayal

I also got the email! Looking forward to starting to get to know my iConfidant! I’m sure we’ll have a lot to talk about (hopefully). With 2 public holidays (today and monday) my long weekend has just started and I’m already bored and have nothing to do for most of it!

@theladyj That is perfect!! <3
-
April 27, 2017 at 11:51 am #11418Brian EParticipant
@nothenrygale I agree you need to be careful. I think the idea is one email chain is so someone can’t highjack it, (Noah Sinclair) and say they are your Iconfidant. I’m really curious to see where this is going to lead.
Best,
Brian -
April 27, 2017 at 11:56 am #11420Brad RuweParticipant
@mistere So do you think my iConfidant email could be someone pretending to be mine? It would explain why mine is actually human sounding and a full email rather than the one sentence / random question most seem to have gotten.
-
April 27, 2017 at 12:04 pm #11425Brian EParticipant
Can you post your email? I’m not sure, maybe a little background would help too. I got the same question email everyone else got, where we sent a picture, and the recent response email that everyone else got.
Even though I’ve reached out directly to Stacey, I’ve never heard back, and only get the emails that the group is getting at this time.
-
-
April 27, 2017 at 11:58 am #11422GoldTongueParticipant
Got it! Hallelujah.
“What’s up?” #1005
My iconfidant is obviously a young hip dude. He’s going to hate me.

Time to start emailing all your personal secrets to your

Finally received mine. Just a “Hello Lexi” and my number 3390
-
April 27, 2017 at 1:19 pm #11471MichelleParticipant
Quick q for everyone
Was the “and” at the end of the email, intentional or unintentional? -
