Thanks @bcbishop. I think you made the right choice, but I still can’t shake the feeling that there wasn’t much choice to begin with. I can only hope that an opportunity to go for the people in charge appears soon.

Potentially relevant part of @bcbishop‘s article on Tension last year:

“That running feedback turned the ARG portion of Tension — and, later, sections of the immersive theater show — into a piece of constant, on-the-fly improvisation. Members of the Tension forums noticing a typo in an email could turn into a plot point.”

Thanks @bcbishop, I really think you did the right thing here. These people have no clue of their involvement, as far as we know, they didn’t know the risk in getting a job there. All we can do now is see what happens next.

Thank you @bcbishop, I support you 100% as always.

I back you 100% @bcbishop

I support the decision of @bcbishop.

Any suggestion he is working with anybody on this matter does not know him.

Fuck yeah. Well played. Very, very well played, @bcbishop. Looking forward to what they throw at us now. This should be interesting.

And now we wait to see what exactly happens from this. This had to be tough decision @bcbishop, much respect for taking this on.

Well said, @bcbishop. It really was the only choice.

A brave choice @bcbishop. I totally respect what you’ve done, whatever happens. Kudos.

Thank you, @bcbishop.

You did the hard thing, but imo the right thing.

“And we know what that means for its employees.”

Again @bcbishop, you keep acting like you know things for certain when you know just as much as the rest of us, which is nothing.

The ONLY way you can be certain of these things… is if you’re working directly with the OSDM.

Thank you @bcbishop. Let’s see where this takes us.

@addisonborn I believe you’re correct. This is a no win situation especially when we have no clue what the hell these choices ultimately mean.

Side note: I wonder what would happen if @bcbishop abstains and leaves the next to DLB?

I agree, @mike. OSDM does not live or die based on what is decided today or yesterday. Yet more to the point, I personally have not seen any direct evidence of OSDM as having done anything concretely harmful — certainly nothing on the level that would permit anyone to sit in judgment of 91 individuals + kin, and certainly nothing that has…[Read more]

Sabrina’s clarification to Bryan hones in on the fact that we are behing asked to decide the fate of real people, and whatever we chose would be no skin of the OS/ODSM’s back. If “dissolve” means “put to death,” which a lot of us are assuming it does, then it feels like we’re being deliberately pushed to choose “absolve” as the empathetic choice…[Read more]

Yes, @michelle dissolving the center means killing all the people.

@bcbishop I think this call is prodding you to make a choice.

@bcbishop

You do what you think is best and I’ll support that decision.

If @bcbishop wants to, he can decide their fate. He can vote and end it there, absolving anyone else of any responsibility. But either way, it’s on him first and foremost now.

@bcbishop Yup, that’s exactly what I’m thinking too. Sabrina’s on her own.
