@sassyyael In answer to your question above, yes – the app Taylor mentions above is on the iPhone. There’s a lot of choices depending on your personal design preferences / features. (Inoreader, Reeder, feedly, etc.) Give the App Store a search and take your pick! RSS is a lifesaver when things get busy.

I gotta say, the fact that we’ve only gotten some empty forums, a self-help site, and a few emails yet are still able to talk out all these different ideas, theories, and takes is So. So. Great.

I love this community. Excited to take this journey with everyone!

Geez, @larry, so touchy. (I attributed and linked to proper sourcing so wheeeeeeeeeeeeee.) 😀

Oh, nice catch on the logo, @electrichippo. Hard to unsee that once you point it out.

Of course, now that there seem to be so many clues pointing in the general direction of the Devil theory, I’m starting to wonder if it’s not just all a big headfake. But I’m picking up some appropriate reading just in case…

It seems like the “how far are you willing to go?” question is only part of the “Not eliminated, but not selected” email.

Using exclusion as way to force devotion: What are you willing to give up to join the System?

Okay, so then we’re looking a total of three email variants, right? (Aside from personalized touches that open them.)

1. Congratulations / potential candidate (with 5 questions)

2. Not chosen but not eliminated (with 6 questions)

3. Winners and losers / You are the latter (no questions)

Any others out there?

@russell I ran into him on one of my visits, and actually found him to be quite different from the person depicted on the Noah Sinclair website. He seemed to be some sort of corporate manager, brought in to oversee things because Samson wasn’t maintaining control of the situation. Angry and brash, but he definitely seemed to be answering to…[Read more]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

@coryphella I went back to my notes, and this quote from Darren seemed most applicable given what we know now:

“Maybe in the same way that American Horror Story does, in that every season is a new season, but there’s small threads that carry over and characters carry over to an extent, even though they play new roles,” he says. “To the perce…

OMG @chelsea. I will never see that logo the same way again.

Interesting detail: at the bottom of the NS home page there’s a tiny logo next to the copyright notice. It’s a fist, topped with flames. Calls to mind a certain logo on this site.

This is very interesting if we look at it as a different front for OSDM, just preying on a different set of fears/human weaknesses.

In Tension, Addison was at the center of it. People were drawn in by her story; people came back multiple times to help (and try to rescue) her. Tension basically used our own human empathy against us. The OSDM…[Read more]

And we probably shouldn’t forget that in her final speech, Michelle basically touched upon all of the different themes the various shows are supposedly going to be based upon. (Don’t have a transcript in front of me, but believe she listed them all off, ending with Tension.)

The final image from that last night was, arguably, DLB and CS escaping…[Read more]
