In the spirit of moving things over from Slack, here’s another crazy Blondie theory for y’all:

If we assume that Mason is silencing the 91, maybe this is the lie. That this is all an elaborate show with the 91 “playing dead” (which ties in with his chat to Kevin about the bug) to allow them to escape to safety. Despite the grand pay-outs, the…[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:

Mason Silver – 11:56 PM

Ok, so I’m tired and pretty sick so this may just be delirious ramblings, but… Leaving a cult is hard. Sabrina showed us how easy it is to return, no matter what has been done to you and how much of yourself you lost… So maybe Mason, in his mind, is saving the 91 from themselves? Maybe his intentions aren’t to kill all of them – maybe he will…[Read more]

“No man can discover his own talents” Behan’s early claim to fame was he was an IRA terrorist. Then he reformed and became one of Ireland’s greatest writers. Perhaps one’s talents only come to the surface by accident or in times of necessity. Behan became a writer while in prison.

I really like the idea of option 3, but don’t really think it lines up with Briarberg’s actions to this point. I can sort of see a scenario where it all points to them being the cleaner wing of OSDM, but it feels like a reach. And if Briarberg is really a wing of OSDM, that has even bigger implications for BOS than when we realized Mason had been…[Read more]

@chelsea I’m also still stuck as to why the OSDM is doing the whole charity gig. Because I think we all know that’s got to be some kind of bullshit, right? Mason’s sabotaging that but is it at his own behest? I guess we have to ask what Mason/Briarberg gets out of 91 deaths?

This would be the most boring and straightforward of explanations for Mason performing the 91-person “clean up” but: he’s OSDM. Always has been. Everything he has done has been to either create extreme emotional responses or divisions within the community. The 91 situation was put together in a way so that OSDM would always be able to colle…[Read more]

@chelsea @wanda102 @kevin She WAS his ex, but going along with this theory, perhaps he put on quite a show to make it seem like he didn’t care about her. The OSDM ruins families, tears people apart, removes free will, etc. So what if Mason played this to his favor, “turned” on Joyce to “save” her. Said she was dead to him, wanted nothing to do…[Read more]

All good things to those who wait @chelsea

@russell – no, he is not a crazed lunatic, at all. Again, something I’ve been saying for weeks now.

I have a feeling I know what his call was in reference to.

All right, so I’ve been picking through the original source material for the quote here. Basically it has a lot to do with “political juggling,” as in the idea that people in power need to coordinate with those that might seemingly be contrary to their interests in order to achieve a common goal. It also discusses the idea of community appoi…[Read more]

Reading through all of these calls from last night, and I keep coming back to the same thing:

There is no black-and-white “good” or “evil” in this world. There are only shades of grey.

Assuming something is evil, without any sense of nuance, and should therefore be destroyed is simply wrong. Reckless. Assuming something else is noble and who…[Read more]
