I actually thought there was some subtle new information.

When Morgan first revealed that BOS was in charge of forums, Slack, IG, FB, there were some concerns. Would BOS now be the equivalent of the OOA in Tension? Tuning out all dissenting voices? Closing off “paths” for those who weren’t BOS? Morgan responded by calling and engaging with…[Read more]

A bit of additional context – in a thread, @2eds44ws-1 got very petulant with Nate. Adding this as well since I’m not sure everyone saw it, and the tone may be a clue as to who’s speaking.

Morgan called me shortly after. He sounded nervous. When I told him people were speculating that he was on his way to meet Levi, he said, “It ain’t Levi. It ain’t fucking Levi.”

I’m worried.

Updating this post of questions with some of my most burning questions at the moment:

– What happened at the System workshop that Darren referenced in his letter? What “began” there?

– What was the ceremony Andy walked in on? I had thought that maybe the MSE would shed light on this, but I didn’t see anything of the sort going on the…[Read more]

It’s a little weird to show something that’s so specifically closely tied to OOA/OSDM to prove the point though. Maybe not weird…but telling?

When the Resistance first came out of the shadows, they announced themselves at the OOA compound. (Or rather, Stacey did.) I think they have an interesting and definitely intentional history of recla…[Read more]

I wasn’t around for this, but couldn’t everyone have gone to the other person directly to resolve the issue?

Once we started catching on to what was happening, we did. But I didn’t intend to make that seem like we were blameless victims – more to shine a light on what OSDM enjoys doing, the tactics they use, what they stand for. OSDM did the…[Read more]

No one can _make_ you turn against someone else. That decision is on the individual.

I should probably flesh that out a bit more.

There were a few specific examples I had in mind, from the Tension era:

– The OOA told Person A that Person B was a detractor, and told Person B that Person A was a detractor. They set them both to spy on each…[Read more]

So far, I’ve seen @nothenrygale complain about stuff he brought upon himself when he signed up for Lust, and @daela condemning the OSDM for Tension stuff that was later revealed to be theater.

Just to be clear, I specifically stayed away from anything making accusations that could have been dismissed as theater.

This is what I said:…[Read more]

Also, “hard outcomes”

These are all fair points, @bcbishop – and I’ll add that there’s another inconsistency that’s gone unmentioned, the fact that Morgan indicated that the OSDM and the OOA have gone silent, yet he played a recording for Kristin of a shadowy someone ordering Darren to stick to the script just a few days ago. The playground clearly hasn’t been fully…[Read more]

But there were more that I didn’t recognize, possibly because they were zoomed in quite close. I thought I might have seen you in there, but wasn’t…[Read more]

So, looking back at this interview in retrospect. We now know the Resistance has taken over. Does this shed some light on some of Darren’s more cryptic statements?

Was this the “retool”?

“It will require change from the users, the people that are playing with us, but I think in the very end it will be more dynamic, more engaging, and will…[Read more]

I see what you did there.
