@chloe, @kevin, @bcbishop, @kortneydarling, @wanda102, @mumumusings, @mkarrett, @coryphella, and @meghanmayhem.
I can’t meet with you all, but you are on the right path, continue.

More than fine if you can’t, no worries here 🙂
So exactly how should this work? Maybe a live-stream for those who can’t physically be there?

SHE IS @joycecarlberg! YOU ARE LIKE THE BUZZING OF FLIES TO HER.

June 26, 2017 at 3:40 pm #17726CristenParticipant
Thanks Joyce. I think we all come here out of curiosity and to put to logic some things we have yet to understand. I’m listening, venom-free. Let’s give each other a hand.
-
June 26, 2017 at 3:41 pm #17727ChloeParticipant
Definitely understand, no worries.
Interested to see what’s going to happen in the future for those of you who will be meeting with her.

Whether it’s for the opportunity to gain some insight, or just for my own personal amusement, I will gladly continue just being my awesome self on my own absurd path.
I like your “no time for your coddling” attitude, Joyce. Let’s get weird. Help this little fly learn how to read schematics.

Thank you, @joycecarlberg. What I’m already finding intriguing about the conversation — both ours, and the group’s as a whole — is that it is daring us to cast aside our masks, our personas, and our sense of entitlement. It’s almost a dare: can we go forth — whether in our daily lives, or in our conversation with you — without the bullshit.
We’re owed nothing. Not answers, not structure, not affirmation. And perhaps what you’re offering can be seen as an opportunity to cast aside our obsession with ourselves — that same thing that can so easily cloud our judgement and make us feel indignant, or think that the world is wrong simply because it does not bend itself to our own sense of what is just.
It’s only with a open mind, and an open heart, that any of us can truly see clearly — and what potential may lie ahead for every one of us.

@thebuz Haaaaah. And, Joyce is rolling in here like..
-
June 26, 2017 at 3:53 pm #17737KevinParticipant
It would be my pleasure to continue this conversation.
As I was getting at, this investment is mutual and should be beneficial for all parties involved. We want something, you want something, and your superiors want something. Are they all the same thing? Probably not. Most of the people here are at least kind of interested in what you have to say, so you could provide us some information. You like getting paid, as you made clear, and a working relationship and connection with everyone here helps you. You want to keep your bosses happy so you can keep getting paid, and they need someone (currently you, could very well stop being you) to build a connection with us for their goals. We want your superiors to invest in us, whatever form that may take, but they need us too (as food, to wind the clock, for their precious data). Repeating myself again, but these are all two way streets; each group needs the other, and I think you may need us more than we need you.

Joyce, @joycecarlberg I’m flattered for the invitation to… whatever will happen. I’ll do my best to keep my schedule open so consider this a “yes?”.
Forgive me though for one “but” in this reply*.
I don’t know what I did to deserve this invite but I know there are many here that want to have this conversation with you. Many here are hungry for information, knowledge, and so forth. Yes, some are coming off a bit…strong and if I was in your position I’d probably turn them down in two seconds flat. But some haven’t had the chance to see what’s new today for all sorts of reasons and…maybe give them a chance to be part of this? Sorry to put you on the spot but I figured it doesn’t hurt to ask. 🙂
*Obviously I have zero information about your schedule for tomorrow so mea culpa if this request is basically impossible.

As I was saying, @joycecarlberg, you seem to be daring us to leave masks and artifice behind. Never more important. Hoping to learn more tomorrow.
-
June 26, 2017 at 5:40 pm #17849BrianaParticipant
It is possible to be both food and an investment? We’re a food investment for what? As humans, we need food to live, so you could consider every meal you eat an investment, but I would assume that your message is not intended to infer such obvious and literal meaning. Which, again, draws up many questions. In which way are you being literal and which are symbols? I take at you face value when you say we are an investment. The investors would like to have something to show for their investment, and that refers to us, as you stated. However, I’m interested to learn more about us being food. It’s a comparison or description that I certain wouldn’t connect with myself, but then again you seem to have a very different understanding of our roles in this situation then we do.
Tomorrow should be interesting, to say the least. I’m all ears, and I’ll be watching @joycecarlberg. I hope someone brings the barbecue sauce.

@brianamatopoeia (yay! Im glad your back!)
It is possible to be both food and an investment?
Corn? Getting worthy seed. Growing it. Prepping the land, finally harvesting it. What is a good sales price? how much do I need personally to survive? Can I give any away? How does next year look…
Is what Immediately comes to my mind, in ways that something can exist as both.

June 26, 2017 at 5:54 pm #17911SageParticipant
@brianamatopoeia, there was a great theory by @taysavestheday that maybe there is some type of AI parasitic virus that needs our “emotions” for food. Maybe he can explain better, but I love it!

I simply can’t decide whom to chose.  So, @chloe, @kevin, @bcbishop, @kortneydarling, @wanda102, @mumumusings, @mkarrett, @coryphella, and @meghanmayhem – let’s all pick a number between 1 and 10 in the next hour. The two who are the very closest will have a shared tête-à -tête with me tomorrow.
Fair?
Great, now go.

OK, I think I kind of understand what is going on but one thing I don’t know is where did Joyce come from, did she just show up. But still looking forward to seeing what will happen tomorrow (or at least hear about it)
-
June 26, 2017 at 10:23 pm #17933CristenParticipant
Just had a lovely, if brief, chat with Joyce. She’s got just about the crispest British accent I’ve heard in ages. Looking forward to meeting up! That’s all the info I’ve got available for now, I’m afraid.
-
June 26, 2017 at 10:25 pm #17934KevinParticipant
I just received a call from Joyce too. She seems very lovely and I look forward to meeting her tomorrow as well.

Received one as well. Truly delightful to hear from Joyce.

June 26, 2017 at 10:26 pm #17937SeanModerator
Didn’t want to chime in earlier and open up the possibility that I’m leaking answers, but Joyce PM’ed me at the beginning of the process with the number she chose to ensure that it’s all on the up and up.
Don’t worry, she wasn’t just picking her favorites

June 26, 2017 at 10:27 pm #17938JackieParticipant
Yay! Congrats guys!

Congrats to all getting to meet with her!
Also, wasn’t ignoring you @joycecarlberg with the numbers, it was 11 where I am and I had gone to sleep by the time you started.
No sleep. Only LUST. LUST sustains all.

June 27, 2017 at 8:25 am #17966MelissaParticipant
I wonder if the number 7 has any special significance for @joycecarlberg or if she simply likes the number?
-

Bit of a shame I was asleep when this happened but oh well. Good luck to those going today! As for @joycecarlberg, I sincerely hope you and I get to meet someday in person. 🙂

June 27, 2017 at 2:34 pm #17997Andrew KaschParticipant
Will be watching Periscope like a hawk today. Can’t wait to see what happens.
-
June 27, 2017 at 4:23 pm #18001SeanModerator
Going off average Tension patterns, if we haven’t seen something by now I’d suspect we’d see something within the next two hours. Lust patterns suggest that we’d see something in roughly 3-4.
Certainly no promises either way, just classic “looking forward to it” style countdowns over here
-
June 27, 2017 at 4:26 pm #18002KevinParticipant
@thegilded was dead on. Just got a call from Joyce asking me to be in a certain ZIP code at 8:00PM tonight.
-
June 27, 2017 at 4:30 pm #18003SeanModerator
Fuckin’ lucky shot on my part.
An in person meet, though?! With all the out of towners as initial possible choices, I was not expecting one. This could be good
-
June 27, 2017 at 4:30 pm #18004Bryan BishopParticipant
Message received, @joycecarlberg. See you at 8pm.
-
June 27, 2017 at 4:49 pm #18005David ShieldsParticipant
So people are going to meet up, this should be interesting!
-
June 27, 2017 at 5:23 pm #18006ChloeParticipant
Going to make sure I keep awake tonight. I want to see what @joycecarlberg is all about.

June 27, 2017 at 6:43 pm #18007JackieParticipant
eeee, excited.

June 27, 2017 at 7:22 pm #18008Bryan BishopParticipant
Joyce got stuck in a meeting. Time pushed to 9pm.
-
June 27, 2017 at 8:01 pm #18009
-
June 27, 2017 at 8:56 pm #18010David ShieldsParticipant
Well that is not strange at all. Does not feel like she may want to get you on your own at all!?!
-
June 27, 2017 at 9:00 pm #18011superstarParticipant
If she walks in to meet you with a steak knife and a bottle of HP sauce in her hands… RUN!!!!!!!!!
