I also think that Noah’s “blackmail” wasn’t actually intended to work as such. A few posts ago I suggested that Bryan’s meeting with the hooktress was actually a test of some sort, and I know others have suggested that it could have been OSDM datamining. Noah would definitely have known that Bryan would go public with what happened, and he even…[Read more]

I just thought of something: what if the secret that the prostitute/actress told @bcbishop (“When they stop believing you, that’s when you’ll know it’s begun”) refers to Noah’s interpretation of The Boy Who Cried Wolf? When you’re no longer believed, that’s when self-actualization has to happen if you’re to survive.

It’s clear that the hotel setup was a trap. But, @bcbishop, what Noah said to you on the phone after you left the hotel makes it seem that it was just an elaborate play he set up just for you. Could it have been a test of some sort?

Regarding Darren, I think he definitely knows what happened to you in that hotel room, based on the items he asked…[Read more]

If I remember from Tension correctly, spoiler threads weren’t encouraged/required until Ascension began?? Reason being that ARG events were often one-time deals, but anyone could attend Ascension over a long period of time so it was necessary to spoiler things for those who haven’t done it yet.

Making you wait is a classic power play. Don’t let it get to you, @bcbishop and @lilmsfancpants! Walk into your respective meetings with your chin up and ready to do business – you got this!!

If Noah is anything like his website makes him out to be, best be prepared (like Julie said) for business. Obviously as they’re the ones setting up the meeting, they have more negotiating power than you do, and be sure to stay attuned to little power plays that they might pull (like making you wait beyond the aforementioned time, keeping you…[Read more]

“Men have wasted away before , entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible. . . It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.”

I almost don’t want to go to sleep so I can follow along in real time as things happen! (Stupid time difference…) I better not wake up to see shadow versions of Bryan and Lia causing trouble…

@immortalconqueror Wasn’t it implied at the book release party that the compound was burned down? I wasn’t there so I can’t say for sure, but if that’s the case I can’t imagine anyone living there now.

Exciting! Since DLB was concerned about the last two calls you received do you think this call was also Noah acting on his own again?

Thanks @bcbishop! That’s a lot of info, but at the same time, it’s no real information at all, in-game or otherwise. But something caught my eye. Clint says they’re not “allowed to” discuss the OSDM. Who isn’t allowing them? The OSDM itself, perhaps? And we still don’t know how DLB and Clint got wrapped up with that group in the first place.

If what we’re seeing is indeed imitation, then does that mean the reflection step has already passed? What could it have been?
