A new culty Instagram account by name of scarrqueen has popped up and is liking several Lust participants’ in-game posts, generally two in number. Also of interest is Andrew Perez’s comment on the only post.
I could definitely see Sarah behind this…

For what it’s worth, scarr queen just liked two of my IG posts related to the Boanthropic ARG. The Midnight Commission never followed me or tried to connect with me in any way, it completely passed me by.
Also hi @sfire8. Andrew was a cast member in Ascension. He had a small role as the man in the room where we undressed and put our jumpsuits on, he yelled at us to strip etc.

Whoever they are, based on their one and only post, they have terrible taste in color pallets.
Hahaha maybe so, but they have good taste in gore because she liked my photo on IG from our sexy photoshoot… Or maybe she is just an ass girl ??♀️
Also she liked three other photos of mine but not related to lust or another ARG… however, they are either gorey or lusty photos ?

Just to expand on this – Andrew first appeared at the Tension Scare LA panel as “Ellis Gordon”. He claimed to be the creator of The Tension Experience, telling a story about discovering some old documents in his grandfather’s desk. During the BOS hijack of the panel, the video they played clearly showed Andrew’s imdb profile, proving he was an actor and not “Ellis Gordon”. He then reappeared, as @macbethinabathtub said, as “Elder Jonathan” in the changing room of the OOA compound, although you could get him to glitch through several of these personalities if you found the right trigger. Due to a personal connection formed after I saw his stunning performance in My Scientology Movie, he was also my Sentinel and saved my sorry BOS ass during my journey through Ascension – hence why I tend to refer to him as Andrew/Ellis/Sentinel. He is a man of many characters and many talents <3

Also just wanted to build on @superstar’s observation about the Empress tarot card. Not the first time we’ve discussed tarot here – the keys found on the Hierophant card are discussed here. So tarot imagery is not unheard of here…
The Empress card reflects both abundance and success in practical and financial matters. It also represents a feminine and motherly person. And finally, it suggests love and comfort…

Scarrqueen liked a one of my IG post (yesterday) where I’m with everyone in a trivia night Meetup.
Worth noting that the “Beginning” video doesn’t really have high quality feel like the old Tension videos or even The Midnight Collection. Video is shakey, the background is a stucco or heavy textured wall, and the title is a neon blue. Feels amateur-ish so I’m not entirely sure this is Lust related but hey who knows, I’ll follow and see what’s up but I have some reservation about taking Scarrqueen seriously. Also I messaged the user about her Empress card like yesterday at 2p and it never responded.
Criticism aside, I do think it’s interesting that the candle in “the Beginning” video has three wicks. The Empress in tarot appears to have a significance with the number 3 as well. Coincidence?
What I’d like to know: who is The Dark Spiral, a user who commented, “Truth is useless without practicality” on Scarrqueen’s “Beginning” video?
-
As a very late edit Scarrqueen has responded to my message. I asked her if The Empress has any significance to him/her and he/she responded with “everything is significant”.
-
-
She liked @winstonsmith’s “New cult, who dis?” comment before it was deleted. I knew I should have screencapped that post and its comments before going to bed…

To be honest, this could just as easily be a troll from someone that wanted to mess with the community – but couldn’t do it here in the forums due to good old fashioned IP tracking.
I’m hanging back on Ms. Queen until it’s a bit more clear that this is legit. Just because we’re all on the stage now doesn’t mean bad actors won’t try to join in.

@winstonsmith Flavor-aid*

@blondie, @macbethinabathtub, thank you for the explanation! Helps a lot!
-

@mkarrett As in, “Nothing is out of bounds”? I call sus. -
I’m finding myself agreeing with @bcbishop more and more these days. I worry about what THAT means for me.
They haven’t done anything that The Powers That Be would normally speak to me about so I can’t yet verify either way. But I am highly suspicious of this account.
-
It was Andrew Perez’s odd comment that made me suspicious enough of this account to bring it up. Really wish I had screencapped it, now.
-
-
@daela sus and vague AF but until the @thegilded or @thebuz come in here and let us know this is OOG I guess I’ll just follow and see what happens.
-
I’m leaning with @bcbishop and @thegilded here… I really hope this isn’t another Despoina shit show
-
-
It can be a game jacker @nothenrygale but the thing is TPTB do classically jump in relatively quick and let the participants know whether something is out of game or not.
After all it’s a yes or no question.
And seeing that we haven’t heard anything as of yet is making me second guess my initial assessment. :/
-
@joycecarlberg has logged on to the forums a few times today. If we were barking up the wrong tree, I have a feeling that we would have heard about it by now.
-
@kipsie How can you tell @joycecarlberg has been logging on? How do you see who’s logged in?

Ooooh interesting. Thanks @thegilded!

There’s something somewhat hilarious about the possible instagram accounts and such. Ostensibly, the Resistance/Midnight Commission deal was to showcase how easy it is to trick we, the participants, into signing up for another service in which we dump all of our personal data, yeah?
Here’s another account that seems to put less effort into it, shows and promises nothing, and yet we, both Resistance members and non-Resistance folk, are jumping at the chance to check it out and hang off their every word.
I mean I get why we’re looking into it, we’re looking for the next piece of info that the OSDM’s gonna shit out but… isn’t that addiction the exact lesson the Midnight Commission was trying to warn us about?
-
@thegilded I would have thought that MC disguised itself as a cipher-heavy ARG to attract the many brilliant minds that are into that kind of thing, and to ensure they were in attendance to hear what The Resistance had to say. I don’t know if Midnight Commission was so much warning us about our addiction, as using it to their advantage.
-
My perception of what the man doing the intro said during the periscope, talking about “offering intrigue into the unknown…” and “This is a service to show what our enemy does” suggests that they are knowingly using the same tools as the OSDM to simultaneously find intelligent people but also highlight the “tools of the enemy”.

I don’t think it’s about being smart enough, per say. Chapter 2 was all about not seeing what was right in front of us, so I’m trying to go more retrospectively face-value on this.
The midnight commission’s admin went by “zerozerozero,” a subtle clue in retrospect; Morgan uses many online handles that are a step away, referencing “oneoneone.” The Instagram itself had many clever audio tricks and video effects that we’ve seen him make for us before. It was all right there but we didn’t see it (and in my case, he steered me away from suspecting it too much, the clever fox.)
So if we’re seeing the forest for the trees here, again in retrospect: they used tactics from lust/tension, appealing to what they knew would entice us, and tricked many of us into attending a recruitment seminar that some may otherwise have avoided. If it warns us of anything it’s that BOS is equally willing to use our desires to swell it’s ranks. Does that make them in the right?

I can speak with The Powers That Be. But what’s the fun if I do that every god damn time? The verification process was never intended to be a security blanket, it’s a safety net.
So far no one’s made any aggressive actions, no one’s damaged any narratives or put anyone at risk. So there’s no need to verify.
As a participant I’m as close to being sure that this is unrelated as one can possibly get. As a mod I don’t see the need to utilize those tools yet
-
@thegilded – that wasn’t a comment directed at you or a request for TPTB intervention at all, it was a sarcastic crack at my own personal situation. I don’t want to know what’s real and what’s not all the time and you know that.
-
@thegilded Agreed. I think by now TPTB are aware of this. If it ever reaches a point it could become an issue they’ll shut it down. But until then I’ll keep following the profile and see if it leads back to the snake, continuing to eat itself.
-
So, Andrew Perez, pictured on pages 80 and 95 of the TE book… Look at his costume. It’s weirdly similar to the costume worn by RGK in the Alone Land music video (both costumes remind me of Kubrick’s Clockwork Orange droogs) . And, the pic on page 80, in particular, is very similar to some of the shots of the two of them in the video. Like RGK is the light version of AP’s shadow.
Coincidence? I’m thinking not.
And, his Ellis/Sentinel/BOS connection to @blondie?
I call SUS!

If this whole thing is another game jack, then this will go nowhere, but…
The Empress card reflects both abundance and success in practical and financial matters. It also represents a feminine and motherly person. And finally, it suggests love and comfort…
There have been a number of “mother” references in this experience so far. Just off the top of my head:
-IConfidant’s question to us about our relationship with our mother
-Stacey Erikson’s troubled relationship with her mom
-Sarah Sinclair has a son, but seems to be pretty removed from mothering
-the whole concept of birth and re-birth (Anoch, sacrifice, JC/Jesus…)
-Noah’s absentee motherAnyone else think of anything?
Also, after reading ScarrQueen’s post “You can have anything you like, if you’re willing to pay the price”, I Googled related quotes and was hit by one in particular, from the Queen Mother Elizabeth II herself (another Brit!): “Grief is the price we pay for love”.

To build on @wanda102’s point, so much of the text put out by The Midnight Commission hinted towards what they were really involved in. The truth was staring us all in the face the whole time, but no one knew it was the truth.
Their first post said: “We will tear you down from the inside.”
Morgan was smack in the middle of everything and that’s where they were going to start pulling from.Their third post: “Illuminate the darkness and all will tremble upon our truth.”
We’ve seen repeated references to the “darkness” and the “encroaching dusk”. NewBoS/TMC/The Resistance would obviously stand against that.Their fourth post: “Unify and fortify our mightiest weapon against the coming darkness: OUR MIND!”
Again with the references to fighting against the darkness, and then laying out what they laid out on Sunday. They want the brightest minds to stand against the OSDM.Their seventh post: “We are but a copy of a copy. Look within you and you will find a fragmented truth.”
The Resistance is a copy of BoS which was a copy of…(I’m not entirely sure, someone with a deeper knowledge of Tension lore probably knows though.)Their fourteenth post: “Join us before it’s too late.”
On it’s face this most likely refers to the coming darkness. Also literal in the sense that The Midnight Commission wouldn’t be around in the current form much longer.Their fifteenth post: “This weekend everything will change.”
Well, yeah.Their sixteenth post: “There is 1 Hour Until Zero. #tenamongstyou”
This is maybe the most interesting one. Up front this appears to be about getting ten more people into the event that was coming up very quickly that weekend. As everything else ended up being something else though, what if this actually refers to where the clock has been wound? Maybe The Midnight Commission wasn’t aiming to do anything at midnight, they’re aiming to stop the clock from reaching midnight. -
@superstar, we were just discussing on Slack if music video was IG or OOG? It was Andrew and the costumes that made me wonder too? Also the post by TPTB that was titled “Costumes”, that seemed a little odd to me…
-
Their sixteenth post: “There is 1 Hour Until Zero. #tenamongstyou”
@kevin or, telling us that there was a “ten” (as in 2s vs. 10s) amongst us. Someone who’d risen in the ranks (Morgan). -
@superstar a ten amongst you. GIRL yes. This I like.
-
Awww, why thank you @wanda102 🙂
