After noticing SDL was following the Hostess account, I asked him what was up. His response:

if you know who it is PM me. We both know I was in town for a reason last week, there is too much riding on this for this BS right now.

So… a certain small dog lover is now following the Hostess in Black Twitter account. Link right here.

I don’t have all the source links handy, but I believe the reveal was that IT was the original AI from Stacey, as @nothenrygale points out. The shadow accounts on the forums were test runs to see if it could impersonate community members. The next step was going to be for IT to replace Noah Sinclair, which is what prompted his freakout.

Another potential take while we’re at it: what if Stephanie wasn’t brought in to cover for this post. (Truthfully, one would think the real PTB would lean on that premise a bit more if that’s what their play was.)

What if Stephanie Hyden instead broke ranks, and either gave incriminating information to the HiB, or enabled her to move forward in…[Read more]

@thebuz It would certainly line up with the Book Party Slap™.

You’re sounding an awful lot like Dr. Ford in this post, @thecontroller. Did a fly unexpectedly land on Hostess in Black?

Money or coercion are the two best options, but why take the fall for this for a small amount of money?

@kevin The exact same reason she showed up for a last-minute call from Gordon Bijelonic to host the 5.1 Registration Event. They are panicking, and they called in a person they seem to implicitly trust. And that someone has been quite good at…[Read more]

“To the real PTB, threats are theatrics and won’t work. You know what you need to do to make this right. No more pretending. Own up.”

Called out DLB/CS are being full of shit, but now going straight for the big fish. Investors/Horace/OSDM?

Now is probably be a good time to mention that last year I had several actors describe this exact kind of behavior to me, outside the walls of the OOA warehouse and completely out of game.

NDAs they had to sign blindly; passive aggressive threats made under the guise of an ARG universe. At the time I just assumed they were hyping the Tension…[Read more]

Some thoughts:

1. Noting when tactics are deployed is not the same thing as impugning the character of individuals. It would serve us all to learn the difference.

2. @kevin, I’ll say here publicly what I said to you privately yesterday: Going was the right call, and keeping an open mind was the right call. It’s the best way to serve The…[Read more]

Stoked to hear everyone had an awesome time, and really excited to hear more when the time comes.

BUT.

Beware your new savior, everyone. All of us – and I mean ALL of us – are susceptible to manipulation. Being made to feel special by being selected as part of a chosen few… being given a shared secret that you can’t share with the outside…[Read more]

Congrats everyone! Have fun tonight. Looking forward to your reports.

@nothenrygale Humbly suggesting this one instead: https://vimeo.com/3685071

This is probably obvious and I’m just tired, but… who is the intel source that Horace gave up on?

What’s the lesson?

I wonder if the lesson was as simple as You can do whatever the fuck you want and most people won’t do shit to stop you.

But damn. Still cringing over here.

What ended up happening last night was amazing, @thebuz — so first off, kudos for that. This community really does give me the feels, sometimes.

As for The System, your second call from Noah strikes me as really, really odd. Almost as if there was a shoe waiting to drop with regard to your encounter… one that never did.

Let’s be honest: bu…[Read more]

Great memory, @kevin, I had forgotten that line. Going back through my Hotel Room Encounter post, a couple of things really stand out; things that now make a lot more sense given what we now know.

-The “prostitute” / OSDM member saying that she felt that “he” was always watching her, no matter where she was or what she did. I’d somewhat assumed…[Read more]

@nothenrygale Actually, that one wasn’t mine. I sent the (hopefully much more obviously) in-jokey one — that it seems like you didn’t receive.

Hrm.
