@nothenrygale @izryn, honestly I think part of it might be she only sent her first email to Stacey yesterday. Beta tests are limited by nature, maybe she just ran out of room. Or, if you want to get conspiracyish about it, I’m willing to bet iConfidant and the System share a bit of DNA. Perhaps her close ties to the Sinclairs thus far have…[Read more]

@nothenrygale, @lilmsfancpants and I are, and we’re the only actually married Lust couple I’m aware of.

Have you considered someone is trying to help you? We don’t know what iConfidant actually is, but someone does. Maybe someone is out there watching out for you, someone who doesn’t want you getting involved. Although if the fake you was rejected and your fake wife was accepted, it’s much more sinister to think that someone is trying to drive some…[Read more]

@nothenrygale I agree with your reasoning, but here’s what I’m wondering: what actions would she be capable of if she did want to actually do something about it? She certainly sounds overwhelmed and scared of some higher authority over the phone, but Noah is arguably more exposed than her and he’s gotten away with openly flouting the System and…[Read more]

I won’t pretend to be able to hear and understand every word, but one popped out: punishment. The idea that she’s been avoiding it every turn, that she’s only alive because she’s tougher and smarter than anyone else. Somehow this doesn’t feel like hyperbole. It’s starting to sound like Sinclair Industries (or the OSDM) isn’t a job you’re just fired from.

Hi @electrichippo. @kortneydarling suggested this in the beta thread, but I thought it would be good to dissect here. While laying out the instructions for what those participating in the beta test must include in our submission, it appears as though Stacey used her own information as an example. Since she obviously filled out the questions as…[Read more]

Yes @wanda102, I believe in this wholeheartedly. Not only the example you give, but, as @kortneydarling said, at the night of the OC Meetup. Noah gave us his canned speech that he was obviously lacked conviction, then left to corner Tom in the bathroom to give him the first phone. Who knows if more stringent methods could be used in the future,…[Read more]

I’m willing to take this at face value if @taysavestheday believes in her. No, it doesn’t excuse what she’s done, and if everything had been going according to plan this whole time she probably would be singing a different tune and happy to tow the party line, but she is clearly under the crucible now, and the new Sarah to come out of this could…[Read more]

Accepted as well. Did those who were a part of the 4/13 call get this email?

Noah DID say that it might be a stuffed animal during the “under where?” moment, which was an odd thing to say if the kid is just a total fabrication given how his mind didn’t seem to be at all on the lies. And @chloe that’s an interesting idea about Timothy being the real father. In the moment I thought “Oh that stinks, Noah’s probably friends…[Read more]

Sure @sfire8, that’s totally valid. Like I said, I don’t want to paint anyone with one brush, and even though I only listed three motivations, I don’t want to paint anyone with one of only three brushes either. There are a lot of other reasons and possibilities. And, correct me if I’m wrong, the way you’re putting it sounds a little out of game,…[Read more]

Beautifully put, @meghanmayhem.

@moustachemax, if that guy was actually a part of this I don’t think I’d ever stop screaming.

That’s wonderful, @mkarrett. Even though your relationship with Macy had an unorthodox start, the implications of that clearly bonded you and I’m glad that she sensed your openness and now views you as a friend. That’s very sad to hear about Amber. Did you get the impression this happened out of fear due to Sarah’s wrath and Amber is just an…[Read more]

Absolutely, @bcbishop. Maybe I just don’t have a frame of reference because I wasn’t around until Ascension, but I’m constantly in awe of how much they’re able to fit into a week (or a day!) and how diverse this experience has been so far, and how involved many of us have been able to be. I’m loving the Sinclair story line and the dozen or so…[Read more]

From the beginning, the Sinclairs made it clear they weren’t interested in all of us. People like Sarah don’t need everyone. Many of us roll our eyes and mock the transparent, barely sincere lies that pass for spin that come out of Sinclair Industries, but here’s the truth: these messages aren’t meant for us. They aren’t interested in changing…[Read more]

All of that is great, @voxchaotica, you did it perfectly! It is entirely your call if you would like to share all, some of, or none of your original communication to Stacey. I personally chose not to, other people shared the whole thread, it all depends on what you’re comfortable with. @electrichippo has been having a fascinating and deep…[Read more]
