Hello Community,
It has been made known that @lasalle will be unable to attend the Focus Group tomorrow afternoon.
Upon receiving this information, Noah Sinclair let Mike and I know that he thinks there should be more input for the solution to this sudden opportunity.
He would like the community to decide who will be filling that now-vacant tenth slot.
A decision must be reached by 10 pm tonight.

Well, fuck. Pressure’s on again, folks!

April 1, 2017 at 7:52 pm #5168ShaunParticipant
Dibs!
But seriously I’d go with someone OG or someone completely foreign to it all if possible.
-
April 1, 2017 at 7:53 pm #5169Brad RuweParticipant
I nominate @brianamatopoeia. @thebuz was going to pick her when Noah said pick five people. When Noah said the five included himself he had to cut her. She’s fresh blood and would absolutely be present.

April 1, 2017 at 7:55 pm #5170Meghan MayhemParticipant
I nominate @pandace88 who’s been an active little peach and could do with a little adventure.
-
April 1, 2017 at 7:56 pm #5171CandaceParticipant
I can be there! I would love to go! I’m ready to step up and be more involved
-
April 1, 2017 at 7:57 pm #5172Kimberly StewartParticipant
I nominate @pandace88 & @theladyj. They’ve both proved to be solid, cooperative, enthusiastic new members of our community. Or… me, @electrichippo, because I’ve proven I have what it takes to make difficult decisions under immmense pressure.
-
April 1, 2017 at 7:59 pm #5173CandaceParticipant
@meghanmayhem ahh you’re sweet ?? even if I don’t get majority vote here I am thankfully for this nomination ? I actually sent Noah an email right now telling him they need me and I’m ready to step up and take this opportunity by the balls lol ? I refuse to be a bystander this time around so either way it won’t be the last anyone hears of me!
-
April 1, 2017 at 7:59 pm #5174ChrisParticipant
I third @pandace88. But for the sake of discussion, @russell with the idea of the focus group in mind, do you and @mike have a type of participant you’d like to add in your head, in the interest of a well-balanced 10?

Well Noah, I’m available!!!
But also feeling like maybe it should be one of the three that got cut from Julie’s list: Lawrence, Taylor, or Kim.
-
April 1, 2017 at 8:09 pm #5182KINGKILL33Participant
However this vote goes, in my opinion, it should be someone completely new to this. Someone that has been active and has shown their interest.

April 1, 2017 at 8:09 pm #5184Brian EParticipant
I’m with @nothenrygale on this one. If the 5th person @thebuz picked was @brianamatopoeia then she has my vote.
Buz though he picked 5 people (not including himself) . So I like this idea, and it goes to Loser Club, which is a group that banded together and didn’t get excepted.
Or @lasalle should pick.
One of those 2 options. -
April 1, 2017 at 8:11 pm #5185Michael RizzoParticipant
I would totally throw a vote in for @pandace88 she’s been pretty litty recently. And of course I’d be down too BUT I have something scheduled on the 5th of may so as cool as an event would be I can wait haha
-
April 1, 2017 at 8:12 pm #5186Christine BargerParticipant
I trust Mike & Russell to choose.
-
April 1, 2017 at 8:13 pm #5187Julie R GoldsteinParticipant
I’m with @sfire8… The best way to get back at him is by this community nullifying his attempts to tear us apart.
My first vote would be for @larry since his theories have kept this community the most active. But I’m also side-voting for @electrichippo and @taysavestheday.
-
April 1, 2017 at 8:13 pm #5188MarandaParticipant
I also think it should be an active newcomer! I’ll support @brianamatopoeia since she lost out during the loser meet up.

April 1, 2017 at 8:18 pm #5193M.Participant
I’m going to throw my vote out to @nosnevets. He’s been a host on several occasions that have brought our Tension family together and he helped make it possible someone in our community to attend Tension last year who otherwise may not have had the opportunity. I think he’s a good choice.
-
April 1, 2017 at 8:18 pm #5194LiaParticipant
@pandace88! Get it gurrrrl!
-
April 1, 2017 at 8:18 pm #5196Tom KircherParticipant
I’m not normally that guy, but can I pitch myself?
My biggest regret from Tension was not being as involved in the ARG when it was going on. I signed up for Indoctrination the moment Bloody-Disgusting posted their first article about Tension on February 8th, but in the time since then I ran into a number of very serious personal and family-related issues (most notably my mother being diagnosed with cancer) that made it impossible for me to keep up. This combined with school meant I had to miss out on the events leading up to Ascension. I want to change this with Lust. I still have yet to receive any emails or calls, and I would be so incredibly grateful for the chance to participate in the focus group.
With that being said, I appreciate the opportunity to put my hat into the ring, and I appreciate any consideration.

Is it bad to nominate ourselves? If not I’m free and I’d love to go. So far I’ve been watching from the sidelines with no calls and no emails. Lust has left me feeling like a lonely girl waiting by the phone on a Friday night. But maybe that’s the point?
In all seriousness though I’m excited to hear about what’s going to happen from everyone who does go! -
April 1, 2017 at 8:23 pm #5199AnonymousInactive
Great idea, @julierei Put it to a poll.
-
April 1, 2017 at 8:24 pm #5200Alejandra AcostaParticipant
It’s always good to have newcomers, but I find the presence of vets just as important: I vote for @electrichippo, @rizzzoooooo or @taysavestheday
-
April 1, 2017 at 8:27 pm #5201MeganParticipant

Thanks @julierei – Is there a way to add people? If not, let’s keep it on the forums so new people can be nominated. I’m keeping a tally 🙂
-
April 1, 2017 at 8:29 pm #5205Julie R GoldsteinParticipant
@mike – It doesn’t look like there is sadly. I’d say go with what you have, but keep the poll up as a tiebreaker if need be.

If @brianamatopoeia doesn’t accept the nomination or isn’t available, I’ll happily support any of the active newcomers!

Takes balls to publically attack me… well it doesn’t but she didn’t know that at the time.
Also nominate @genghistwan & @meghanmayhem. They both deserve a shot.

April 1, 2017 at 8:48 pm #5222BrianaParticipant
I’d absolutely love to go. If chosen, I
Will be there. Thanks so much for thinking of me, guys. It seriously means a lot. ❤❤ -
April 1, 2017 at 8:51 pm #5224Bryan BishopParticipant
We’ve seen an interesting thing develop over the past few days, where we’ve seen a diverse cross section of the community get selected because we’re pulling from different groups. That seems to be essential – and has helped calm some of the community discord that Noah has tried to generate.
In that spirit, I’d like to suggest that the pick be somebody not included in any prior selections (even if they were struck via Noah).
Much love to @larry, @brianamatopoeia, and everybody else previously named, but the more we spread it around the better. (After that, activity on forums seems to be an essential piece of criteria.)

I would love to attend via skype? Hahaha ?

April 1, 2017 at 8:54 pm #5226Hannah SchenckParticipant
@bryan you’re absolutely right! I think the initial reaction of betrayal and confusion is justified and understandable, but I am glad to see that everyone is keeping themselves grounded with the community
-
April 1, 2017 at 8:54 pm #5227NosnevetsParticipant
Wow thank you so much for nominating me! You guys are amazing. I’m available and would love to go.i also have unfinished business with the OSDM and Noah. Though I’m not so unsure that giving a more new person a chance is a bad thing. Also someone from the “losers” perhaps? @k-w-t maybe? I love you all you glorious sexual wank phesants.

Side question in case I missed a story beat:
How come @lilmsfancpants and/or @bcbishop are not in the running here.. is it because they already had an interaction or are somehow ineligible? Are they already a part of the focus group?
-
April 1, 2017 at 9:35 pm #5251Lawrence MeyersParticipant
Yes–as far as a vote, I am adhering to a story concept. I can share that when my Email asked what stands in the way of my getting what I desire, I answered “chance”.
In that spirit, I printed out all the names on the member page who have made at least one post, cut them out, put them in a bowl and had my daughter pick.
@pandace88 is the name she picked.May the odds be ever in your favor.

April 1, 2017 at 9:37 pm #5253ChrisParticipant
@shaun, I could be wrong, but I think that falls into the “spread it around” category. Plus this event has been characterized as a focus group for the System and going by the story, @lilmsfancpants and @bcbishop are already in Noah’s pocket. Can we trust they would be impartial?

Just now, Shitty Third Cat jumped up on the table and started throwing everything to the floor. I decided to take advantage of her awfulness. I wrote down everyone’s name who has been nominated and put them on slips of paper on the table, and watched her knock them off one by one until she got bored and ran off, sideways, because that’s how she runs. She left one name on the table, and that’s the person am now wanting to throw my weight behind.
I would like to add my support to @pandace88

I’d like to nominate myself, @pandace88 takes all the damn shine and I can’t even get a word edgewise, if you are looking for someone completely “foreign” trying to bust way into the community. You have the perfect specimen right here. Also you guys keep using my poem that I wrote from the heart , does that Count for anything? If it’s not me I want it to be @larry, that fool is dope.
-
April 1, 2017 at 10:02 pm #5283Lawrence MeyersParticipant

Just now I had to rush outside to sign for a package, and to make sure my browser stayed up to date on the discussion, I set up a dipping bird to click the refresh button every few seconds. Inexplicably the dipping bird was nudged out of position by a passing moth and accidentally printed the names of every single person who has registered on this website. However, my printer being what it is, every page was smeared beyond all recognition– save one: I still vote for @pandace88.

@mistere I have to agree. We’re both eager and willing and ready to step up to the plate. I believe they have my contact info, and if my phone were to ring, I’ll answer the call.

Lol, after wallowing in despair yesterday I’m like “Well I’ll just step away for a bit, get a late dinner, pass out….” WAKE UP TO ALL THIS! I’m so sorry for not seeing this sooner (seriously never going to leave again @meghanmayhem). That said, I love that the community banded together to choose and I’m even happier it went to one of the newer members. Being chosen was an amazing experience, especially since I’m very new to this community. I’m overwhelmed by the love and support that has been shown to us newbies. That’s not to say I think it would have been bad if another Tensionee was chosen–but like @russell said, it’s about forming a focus group and it’s amazing to get a variety of perspectives and experiences in this panel. You are all wonderful people and I think all of us newcomers feel fortunate to be welcomed into this crazy, dark, loving, and paranoid family. Congrats @pandace88 (you’ve also been an amazing and supportive member of this family and you deserve this!). I’ll be eagerly awaiting to see what happens tonight 🙂

@lasalle thank you for your blessing. I do really wish you could have gone but I am certain that you will get another chance!! Especially if the community is given another choice in the future. 🙂 it really is hard to take your eyes away from the forums for even a second. And I couldn’t agree with you more about how wonderful this community is?
