@coryphella and @kingkill33 … there is so much loving creepiness about these calls. It’s a lovely and makes me so damn excited for both of you.

We’re all dead inside, Noah. Some of us are just better than others at hiding the stench.

Let’s drink bourbon and chat about the rot.

It’s 2017. Tension changed the game, and part of that change is that this scene, and whatever Tension decided to do next, was guaranteed to be a more immediately well known and public thing. With increased attention comes problems, dangers, irritants, idiots, etc.

Acting purely on faith and trust in strangers is no more logical a step forward…[Read more]

Regardless of what our own personal preferences are, I think an important thing to recognize in all of this is that last night The Creators had to alter their plan. The atmosphere and narrative we’re all eager to experience? It had to be modified because of the actions of someone that was not part of the Lust creative team. And that’s a loss for…[Read more]

@brianamatopoeia I believe what @coryphella is saying is that because someone did this, the creators had no choice but to become involved and break that 4th wall when at a time it should have not been necessary. Of course, we welcomed the creators telling us they weren’t involved because, as people were Periscoping this, a few of us were having a…[Read more]

I strongly support the idea of satellite meetings to cheer others on.

Hell, I have a satellite meeting every time there’s an event.

In my living room.

Alone.

Normally crying.

Hi all,

Despite the Facebook post today calling out the 18th, I still plan to hold my ground and have the meet up. If there’s news, we can witness it together. If some get invited to an event, then we will cheer you on together.

I hope to still see you all there!

Well, since the last Focus Group ended so unpredictably and there has been some obvious changes going on with The System. This may be a chance for the company to attempt a re-brand or do some damage control, if it is indeed another meeting.

@winstonsmith If someone walks into your house and shits on your rug, your first reaction isn’t “Well, let’s come to some sort of understanding why you did this…”

Sorry, but that’s not how human beings are wired. Forgiveness takes time.

Now let’s drop this, please.

17 is a weird number of it’s a specific amount of people but then again, we signed up for some weirdness. 5pm also works though. Bring me the hoods and super personal questions I’m in this for the long haul. ❤

@winstonsmithton I’m always the first person to speak out against the actions of the mob. But you’re confusing community outrage with retaliation. No one here is doing anything of the sort.

Crushing someone’s behavior is different from crushing a person.

I can speak from personal experience that this community is a very tolerant bunch of…[Read more]

@kasch What if it was…

A SPANISH INQUISITION?!?!?!

(Sorry, I swear, talk of inquisition and my brain just automatically goes there. Here, the OSDM can have that data point.)

Impressed with and grateful to @the-creators for making this decisive move to address our concerns so quickly. And as with everyone else, thank you for taking on this huge responsibility @thegilded. I hope this new position won’t interfere with your own engagement and enjoyment down the line. This experience is built on passion from both sides of…[Read more]

@winstonsmith There are no “good intentions” when it comes to hijacking. It’s the same mentality as the people who come here and put on “personas” to try and convince the game makers to write subplots for them. It’s a selfish ego trip that damages what is supposed to be a shared experience. If that person thinks they were doing it “in the spirit”…[Read more]

@winstonsmith dog people are less pissed about time being wasted by a shitty hijack and more upset about the sea change this brings for Lust and the greater immersive theater community in general.

i like going into decrepit buildings and seedy motels and being put into seemingly dangerous situations, but that’s because i signed up specifically…[Read more]

I’m ready to see what goes down in terms of how people will be selected. With the fuckery of last night I’m ready to get back to the REAL Lust Experience!

@superstar – The easiest way to deal with things like this speaks to the Never Silent motto. If you get a call, come to the forums. Talk about it. The Creators are on higher alert and so am I. If someone starts talking about something that isn’t In Game, that’s gonna get shut down so fast that you’ll get diabetes-based-paranoia

@thegilded Hope this isn’t a dumb question (I’m a newbie, so…): What about instructions received via phone call? For example, a mysterious voice calls a player and says, “Go to such-and-such address. You have ten minutes.” How should we confirm it’s actually IG? FB message you? I wonder how this will all work under time pressure.

ps: THANK YOU…[Read more]
