@daela Maybe it’s because they’re all self-important assholes? Even when they’re on the outs with each other, they still want us to believe that the Sinclair name wields some power. They act like big fish regardless of the size of the pond that they’re in.

@mkarrett, did you get asked those two questions about having lapses in memory or not recalling what you said in a conversation with others?

@daela?

That’s a great point @daela. So why is Morgan so worried in this case? I’d see him getting angry that he’d wasted energy, but then pivot towards the real enemy.

The image and it’s title do hint towards a rivalry between OSDM and Briarberg. The quote @coryphella posted adds more evidence that they could be the same thing. The full painting with the frame even suggests that it all could be performance, but even if it was a performance we’ve been told that they’re using lies to mask the truth.

Noah’s quote…[Read more]

“Well. WE still find you useful.”

@daela, She said this to both you and Larry, but I’m finding it odd. How would you be useful to Briarberg? You’re vocally BOS, and send (epic) challenging fuck you messages in response to their emails. This could end up being a much bigger questions, but, what do they find useful?

@daela after hearing the recording again, from our D&D session not from recording phone calls, Lisa did say to @mkarrett that she was indeed from The Briarberg Institute.

She asked if I was sleeping better or worse than usual, if I’ve had any changes in my thought patterns or behavior, if I found myself identifying any more or less with the attitudes and beliefs of those around me, and if I found myself more connected to my immediate environment.

This is the same vein as some questions Briarberg has asked b…[Read more]

You may be right @daela although concentrating on OOG stuff versus phone call….maybe @kingkill33 can refer to recording before I went into the next room.

Hrm. Copying this over from Slack, since we still don’t know who sent this resume. @mike works in e-commerce or something and has been Team Argyle from the beginning. I would like to think he’d use better punctuation if he sent this resume over, but who knows. @wanda102 brought up that maybe it was Otis? He used the phrase “new friend” recently. A…[Read more]

Thanks for this recap thread, @daela. I was AFK when this went down, so I appreciate you keeping everything in one place.

In the interests of keeping everyone appraised, it looks like Mason also made another appearance last night in #general:

@daela The transcript is accurate. Her saying ODSM stood out to me in particular because during the message Sabrina said “Oh” — then caught herself, almost as if she had started saying the wrong name — and quickly went back to “Oh-Dee-Ess-Em”. She never said “OSDM”, but the hiccup was enough for me to note it while listening.

Noah made such a bi…[Read more]

@daela he’s new here, he’s still getting used to the acronyms 😉

I agree with @coryphella in that I think we have to look at this in the simplest way possible. We dissolve, people die, and that’s on us. Aside from, ya know, death, there’s a strong possibility that the Experience, all this, is done. We all go back to our lives without this, and the knowledge that we very likely may have caused people who have no…[Read more]

I’m stuck on what @daela said.

How would shutting down their last standing chapter and eliminating the 91 be in their best interest?

This isn’t like some Walking Dead, “Cut your son’s arm off or I’ll kill you” nonsense. She’s letting us decide if we want to cripple the organization that backs her. No one else finds this INCREDIBLY fishy?

@daela

According to Bryan, she said specifically, “91 pencil pushers….you will either cause their reduction, or their relocation.”

Well, that’s a particularly angled paraphrase. The initial quote is: “Los Angeles. Chapter 3 AL 21. Last data center standing. 91 little pencil pushers. You and the players of your fucking game have to make a real ha…[Read more]

@daela Outright killing the 91 people, even if that’s not where reduction/dissolve would lead.

@daela, seeing how OSDM works, my guess would be that they would just automatically dissolve if something like that were to happen.

I guess this answers the question some were asking of what would you choose if you knew what the consequence would be. Even knowing what I want to vote, it’s still going to be a difficult decision.

Jfc, I clearly have forgotten how to embed an image…

I thought about that @daela. I’m wondering if they’re telling us that they have the means to keep people in their pockets, and that very well could be in reference to Stephanie.

Some more talk of possible actions and their consequences, from today’s Slack chat between me and @daela…

me:
“… we’ve been told exactly how to stop what’s happening: walk away. But, no one will. So, one could argue that the BOS is working against their own stated mission by continuing to engage.”

daela:
“To be fair, I think that only works…[Read more]
