@meghanmayhem Ahhhh. It’s like what The Red Room Girl said: “You’re losing them faster than you can create hooks to lure them in. You have more leaks in your ranks than a sinking ship.” We’ve been thinking of “leaks” as an activity that one person is up to, but really it means that we’re not winding the clock when we’re venting in a dozen v…[Read more]

@kevin I guess that answers our question about whether or not Joyce had access to iConfidant data.

Did it seem like her quirks and personality were affected or shoehorned in for her own purposes/to seem relatable, or did she seem genuine?

She hacked us to upload the file, but the upload finished BEFORE the 5-4-3-2-1 threads. Candace I believe posted the last few characters: iconfidantcurroddw3.exe

I believe the .exe was what triggered @mychild and @thecontroller posting the Gatekeeper threads. Because after the upload completed, “Mustafa” who wasn’t really Mustafa posted, “We…[Read more]

@bruinbown and @shankfx22 – I actually thought this was answered! But maybe it’s just me. I thought that Stacey intended to use @mychild to blow up the forums, make them basically unreadable and unusable. This was supposed to happen at the end of the countdown – 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and on 1 the whole community would be imitated at once, making the…[Read more]

Okay then, I suppose we will all carry on with less of a connection than they wanted. I get paid all the same.

This is interesting to me. “They” wanted Joyce to connect with us. Joyce’s half-hearted way of trying to connect was tapping into common human themes and spouting them back to us, but she didn’t quite sell it. When called out, she…[Read more]

ohhhhh

@nothenrygale “ON”

I can’t help but notice you mentioning your mother. Did you two have a contentious relationship? Perhaps we can discuss further in person.

The iConfidant questionnaire told us, “Think of the one word that describes the relationship you feel with your mother.” Stacey’s example answer was “empty”.

And last year, of course, Tension’s q…[Read more]

A Brief History of Gatekeepers

Gatekeeper 5

Our first exposure to Gatekeepers in Tension was Gatekeeper 5.  Gatekeeper 5 put together newsletters and letters on social media, made announcements, and was generally there to steer and guide us.  His tone was occasionally stern/menacing, but for the most part he was professionally ominous.

He s…[Read more]

What if we don’t want to suffer to bring Anoch back…

Oh shit

Wait. …The mimic-bot is going to get WORSE? Are we now going to have to worry about misinformation everywhere, from everyone?

I’m on my way to work so can’t make the most thorough post at the moment, but the Red Room was first introduced through a series of mysterious pictures on social media, long before Ascension.

The first appearance

Eventually, references to the Red Room became more ominous, implying that you don’t want to go to the red room. Jenna also outright…[Read more]

It could also be Georgie aka “RED WOMAN”, who spent 100% of each show in the red room.

@chloe – Jenna’s first appearance in Tension is documented here – she was an Attendant in distress before Addison/Sabrina was introduced)

THE RED ROOM GIRL

I’m guessing TB may be Tiffany Bevan (@tiffany223), and AE may be Amie Elrod (@amieexists)?

DK may stand for Debz Kim too
