@maxzumstein I find myself agreeing with you, but I don’t think “fake-ARG-to-mine-data” is part of the twist this time – that would be far too repetitive, predictable, and frankly, bad storytelling. The way I’m looking at it is that datamining via ARG is part of the exposition, a plot point to be developed, before the real twist comes later.

@kasch, I’d be very surprised if you guys saw literal smoke and mirrors at the first System meeting next Monday! For some reason Sarah doesn’t seem the type for that sort of thing. 😉

Late to the party because timezones. @111error Morgan, thanks for your periscope and write up. (Those secondhand-betrayal feelings are real…) I don’t think Kristen knows whey “they” were looking for; she was probably just sent to talk to you and relay the raw data to her bosses, hence the “slow down.” It could even be that she was trying to clue…[Read more]

Oh man, I could totally see this being the connecting thread. I’ve also been thinking about where “Never Silent” fits into all this. At first, it just seemed like something The Creators want us to do so that no story threads are lost, and that buzz is constantly being generated on the forums, but now I’m not so sure. If the Investors will go as…[Read more]

@maxzumstein Lust and Tension are definitely in the same world, that’s for sure. What I wasn’t clear on was the extent to which they are separate stories, but now it seems one-off references are fair game.

Ok, so now we have a fourth wall, and Mr. Investor Marcos has just broken it (or did he build it? I’m not sure). So if we say things on the…[Read more]

Everyone’s covered my thoughts already, but I’ll add that if this doesn’t turn out to be game jacking, we’re seeing the meta-narrative take a very big step forward. I think it’s a bit strange that Marcos referenced Tension, since Lust is supposed to be a complete stand-alone (correct me if I’m wrong).

Sorry to hear about Otis. @nothenrygale If Stacey is still short-staffed, it’s worth a shot!

Whoa! Though the Sinclair business leaves much to be desired, that was really cool of Noah. Happy Birthday @thegilded!

The Maddyxxxlogo.jpg is super sus. First, that account on here doesn’t even have a profile pic. Second, if we presume @kasch‘s impostor is Noah, who has access to the maddyxxx profile, why send Stacey a profile pic that hasn’t been used? If it’s not Noah, then someone is using the Maddyxxx name to shift the blame towards him.

Edit: Also, if you…[Read more]

New post from iConfidant’s fb: “scientists say that it’s the friendship aspect in a marriage that makes it last.”

Oh would I! If only I weren’t thousands of miles away…

@kasch, a suggestion – when Stacey calls back, you should set up a secret passphrase with her too. Tell her to ask for it wherever she contacts you, whether by phone or email. If that doesn’t convince her there is a second person involved I don’t know what will.

@nothenrygale Dang, that’s really well done! Last I heard Stacey is short-staffed. They should hire you!

I’ve been wondering the same thing myself. My best guess is that it’s still up for the benefit of anyone who comes across the site without any context, so they have something to look up as a frame of reference.

We don’t have much information to work with, but to find out why Lia was rejected, we need to figure out what she has in common with other rejectees, but that which she *doesn’t* with those who were accepted.
