@kevin, @izryn, and @wanda102 are all echoing my feels on this.

I can’t help but feel there’s something we aren’t seeing…in everyone’s enthusiasm for the return of the resistance we aren’t looking at the bigger picture and most importantly, the WHY. Currently, things are still feeling pretty sus and so far, while I WANT to trust Morgan, I’m…[Read more]

This, @izryn. Everything you said, so much this.

@izryn They are written on different paper with different utensils. Mike did not have time to write this in between bumping into me and going to shake hands with Brad. Russell, on the other hand, did. He was left alone. Mike’s note was probably planned all along. I see Russell’s as him taking an opportunity.

@izryn I was hoping you were going to bring this over. This is such an interesting idea. We’ve been so paranoid about “plants”, but what if you’re right? The plants we’ve been on alert for have been in the participant world, but what if that extends farther? What if we’ve been staring at the “king” the whole time?

Catching up on all this.
@izryn Morgan is a dear friend to me; myself and certainly Daela know him better than many people who haven’t spent a good deal of time with him. Same would go for Sean; a mutual respect and friendship.

@blondie he asked both how much I knew and how much I “understood”; I didn’t get the impression it came from a place o…[Read more]

@izryn That’s an incredibly interesting idea. I don’t know how successful we would be at trying to infiltrate their ranks. If they really have a file on each of us, we probably won’t be able to waltz into their HR department with a fresh resume and cover letter.

I think that the OSDM’s greatest strength and their greatest potential weaknesses…[Read more]

I’m curious to hear from some more moderates! @superstar @theladyj @wintermute @lilmsfancpants @shankfx22 @erisbonn @izryn … you all come to mind. Where are you leaning right now? (You don’t have to say! Just curious.)

@izryn Her not keeping up with the forums lately makes sense, given her calling to get the details from interactions within Joyce and Mason. But where has she been?

Thank you @izryn

Uhmmm… HUH?
As @izryn and @mike point toward… what did I miss? The Midnight Commission lives and @111error is leaving Briarberg and that decision is (rather conveniently) timed and revealed as…
well…
HUH?
apparently… even people I thought I could trust I cannot trust.
I can’t even say this is highly suspect. It’s freaking ludicrous.

Thank you @thebuz. What’s funny is as I went to type this, someone who has been creeping on me for a number of years (decades at this point actually, gross) popped up, commenting on a photo album that I didn’t really post for the general public, just for the people I went to Edinburgh with. That’s honestly a bit more unsettling, that after all…[Read more]

@lilmsfancpants I’m not totally convinced we’re dealing with two different people yet, but I think I might actually go the other way with that.

When I talked to Mason, he was incredibly frustrated that people weren’t believing him and kept going back to the idea that it was just a game. Someone on Slack, @izryn I think, made the comparison to The…[Read more]

@nothenrygale I don’t know his voice but after talking with @chelsea and comparing our calls, I don’t think it was him, but someone out to destroy him.

@izryn I think Mason is just a facilitator for whoever he works for. Whoever is doing the hacking and who locked out the creators, is far above him and wants to burn this experience and game down

Oh shit!! @izryn good catch! If that’s the case that would make an odd sorta sense.

@izryn @lilmsfancpants
Oh my god that totally tracks.
Noah is anti OSDM because he’s anti daddy. Trying to steer the path he wants without getting his hands too dirty.
Mason ends up sounding like a wacky unsolicited mouthpiece for the resistance.
Noah was the last to physically have the files it TOTALLY makes sense he’d pass it on so someone…[Read more]

@izryn Nice catch on that verbiage. As always, Noah gets shit done.

At the same time, I really hope he knows what he’s doing.

Thanks @shankfx22h and @izryn! You’re all so very welcoming

@izryn I thought that was interesting, too. But Russell did say that Otis/John said his real name very softly. Which is actually even more interesting, because it implies that he’s breaking the fourth wall without letting Joyce know that he’s doing it. So what’s going on there? Why would John want to establish from the outset that he’s just an actor?

@izryn Because you keep your friend close, but your enemies closer. The best intelligence agents embed themselves within the organization without it knowing.

Okay, wait, I just realized what that COULD sound like and I AM NOT A PLANT.

So for those of you that don’t know me, I was an original Tension participant. I haven’t been too active on the Lust forums, but I found this particular activity to be very inspiring and thought-provoking. I would like to get to know more of you, so I typed up some responses to the posts today. Please don’t take offense to any variations in length…[Read more]
