@lukasrl rather than a “frame job” against Macy, do you instead mean that the content of the email could have been sent as a distraction specifically for our benefit? A sort of troll where they throw in words like “replication” to get us fired up because it lines up with Tacitus and word clouds and Shadow people and everything else we want to be…[Read more]

@izryn yeah, that felt more like more downplaying the reality of the situation to higher ups who probably aren’t as informed as someone who is actively monitoring the forums. Sounds like she’s trying her best to control the flow of information in their direction. If one slip up from Macy spills the beans to us, how much longer can it be before the…[Read more]

People are at their most honest when they don’t think anyone can hear them, @julierei.
Out of the mouths of Executive Assistants comes truth and wisdom.

This was my first thought when I read people’s emails from Macy today (never got one of my own). There’s no way they could publicly acknowledge his absence for this long, so now they’re pretending he’s back and hoping there’s no way to verify on our end one way or the other. I’m impressed that Noah has been able to avoid capture for so long. He…[Read more]

Otis may be an unwitting innocent ensnared in the web of the OSDM, but I don’t understand the reluctance in deeming him in-game. He was in the space the focus group took place in, specifically befriended the one participant Sarah kicked out for no apparent reason, drove him to a Carl’s Jr. Noah Sinclaire just happened to be passing by, and…[Read more]

@wanda102 thank you for the additional SRI document, that gives us some great context. The story of its Naval origins stuck out to me immediately, where it was meant to process
“short messages that contained much jargon, many misspellings and other mistakes, missing punctuation, and more sentence fragments than grammatical sentences. The task…[Read more]

I have a college friend who posted about nothing for a whole year but how great Landmark was and how it was changing his life. Then the next year all he posted about was what a horrible sham it was.

@chloe my biggest question now is whether the “original” Noah even exists any more. Was there ever a real Addison Barrow? Is the Noah we’ve met the basis for this Future Human or is he merely the prototype with Levi as host? And if that’s the case, does he know what he really is? How aware would a Future Human or a Shadow be that it is in fact not…[Read more]

Excellent point, @shinobi. What if Levi was just the trial host. And if he’s no longer playing ball, who will be the next? Though if that’s the case, this Noah does sound like he believes he’s the original. How much of his own nature could this shadow be aware of?

@kevin possibly. Did anybody ever try to do something like this with Mr. Shadow?

Glad you found a way to reach out, Noah, but I have to wonder who else in your old circle has access to this old account? Stay safe, stay frosty, stay Noah. You might have written this on here as a message to your enemies, but know that your friends are reading too. If you get in touch, we’ll touch right back.

Honored beyond words, @theladyj. I look forward to seeing a mosaic of these in the Lust book we all end up buying next year.

Impressed with and grateful to @the-creators for making this decisive move to address our concerns so quickly. And as with everyone else, thank you for taking on this huge responsibility @thegilded. I hope this new position won’t interfere with your own engagement and enjoyment down the line. This experience is built on passion from both sides of…[Read more]

Tax day. Someone’s gonna pay.

I’m very sorry to be asking at this point, but how did the night actually end? There’s a gap between what people were posting and this message. Were people just waiting for a car to arrive and then eventually gave up, or was there a more definite indication prior to this post?

@nothenrygale how do you think a blank slate might be possible when we’re talking about implanting an artificial personality into a host? Maybe what they’re looking for are host personalities that more closely line up to what artificial personalities they’re creating. Sabrina Kern was not a natural fit for Addison Barrow. Internal conflict arose.…[Read more]

A very interesting twist that we all assumed it was a cold at first, then to come out and say headache. I can’t be the only one that yelled “Oh shoot!”

That’s a sentry for you, consolidating four places with information into one thread.

Any thoughts on why the Mr. Shadow link was labeled three different ways: “Enter me” then “Enter ME” then “Truth,”?

So the same song posted in three places on the forums. Saying first “Enter me” then “Enter ME” then “Truth”. Just the random link description gibberish of a spam not, or something more?
