Damn, anything and everything has gone sideways in the last 24 hours.

So if this is definitely Clint, it would confirm that he and DLB are still involved. Presumably that means he’s still stuck writing for OSDM…or The Lust Experience…or The Investors…or who the hell even knows now.

That calls into question whether everything we’ve been through with The System, iConfidant, and everything prior to Mason has…[Read more]

@addisonborn Yeah, we’ve only heard about it recently, but I’m wondering if there wasn’t some specific event that drove them all away prior to this (at a retreat as @erisbonn suggests). Or it could very well be that Mason has been contacting them and letting them know what those behind The Lust Experience are up to.

Moving over from Slack:

Confirmed with @meghanmayhem that all of the actors from last year had positive things to say about the event and their time with Tension. Recently that all changed and now none of them want anything to do with any of it. So what exactly changed and when did that shift occur?

I should ask myself why the previous actors are so scared to talk to him, and now us.

Don’t really know why, but this made me think of a quote from what seems like so long ago now:

“When they stop believing you, that’s when you’ll know it’s begun.”

Tonight, on Slack, a said:

This hasn’t begun

Whatever the case is, it sure feels like we’re get…[Read more]

As in:

“I pledge my desire for Their sacrifice and freedom”?

This is when shit got suuuuuuper creepy. He mentioned red raj (the henna I use) and told me he bought some. That he smells it (I think he said something about picturest?? we were talking at the same time at some points, I said henna has a very distinct smell, and henna isn’t very interesting to look at lol) and it’s “almost like you’re here. i…

@thebuz Any chance the woman’s voice was Stacey’s?

I have now decided to err on the side of caution and disclose all the information that we have on this particularly troubled individual.

@joycecarlberg In the past, I’ve enjoyed the fact that you’re relatively straight with us, but that is not the case here. That is definitely not all of the information you have available on Mason. In fact,…[Read more]

Strangely, Andrew also said Briarberg Foundation was the first Tension-related contact he’d received in a while. (I guess his music video wouldn’t be considered Tension-related, but it did involve DLB… so something to flag for the time being.)

I don’t remember exactly what set of emails it was in (maybe the Sushi Dan dead drop) but the music…[Read more]

It looks like Mason doesn’t want to work with us any more but is still continuing his research after the warning from a the other night.

It might be worth it for someone he contacted last week to try reaching out to him again.

I’m with @chelsea and @wanda102. Neither group really seems to be openly afraid of the other. Joyce was actually excited that Briarberg was out in the open so she could begin dealing with them. Mason was disjointed and didn’t really look like he knew what he was doing last night, but that fits with the assessment Joyce gave of him: He (and the…[Read more]

So OSDM is aware of Briarberg and they’ve been waiting for them to come out of the shadows. It also implies that they’ve known about each other for some time, but the OSDM couldn’t do anything until now.

So what exactly made Briarberg come forward now and put themselves at more risk?

@creepsociety Could you explain more about how he tried to flip your answers on you?

Mason (and The Briarberg Foundation) are creepier and more invasive than anyone else we’ve run into. Everyone is pretty aware OSDM is collecting data on us but Briarberg shows up and runs down a list of stuff they’ve collected under the guise of helping. They knew what @creepsociety was doing last night, that she’s on vacation, ventured a guess…[Read more]

Echoing what others have said @russell, that’s a great write up of an exciting night.

I’ve always sort of assumed that whoever is interested in the Darkness wants to bring it about in a literal sense, but now I’m wondering if it isn’t more metaphorical.

Early on there was a quote on one of the paintings (or statues) that said: “Much of your pain…[Read more]

And when did dirt digging become your job?

She’s part of HCDI, which presumably has access to all of the data OSDM has.

She’s also kind of a PR person for them (and whatever she was doing with Jenna), so she’s been shown to get her hands dirty in a variety of ways. Whatever the case, she was doing community outreach of a sort with Russell and…[Read more]

I was looking for more context for the quote and just typed in the first part, which actually pulls up a verse from Ecclesiastes:

What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun.

It dovetails fairly nicely with Ambrose Bierce’s quote as well. There are lots of things we don’t…[Read more]

Here are the messages from ‘A Stranger’ on Slack:

I wanted to do a quick run through of who the board member could be and what their motivations might be.

New person: Most likely possibility, but not much to speculate on if true.

Horace: A guy of his position probably sits on a number of boards. If it’s him, Mason (and the rest of Briarberg) could be unaware as this was “independently…[Read more]
