Wonderful! And interesting to hear him plug The System in the midst of this. I wonder what exact stipulations went into the accord between Noah and his father beyond Sarah’s safety and the security of the OSDM’s secrets? What is the difference between a System with and without Noah’s involvement?

@kevin It’s possible, though in poor Sabrina’s case she ended up losing months. There are signs we can look for, clashes between selves. Like when Addison would wonder why she knew German or say she didn’t remember writing the diary. Hopefully that’s not what’s happening, though. Otis is great just the way he is!

This also adds an interesting new context to his earlier status that’s still up. Did something happen while Otis was asleep today? Is there more to him feeling as though he lost time than we thought?

Is it possible that we’re seeing the effects of the System? Otis seems like a good candidate. Poor guy, alone, loveless, jobless, unaware of the modern world. Now he has a high paying job with the Sinclairs, finally gets a date with the girl he’s been after, and spouting Latin on Facebook? Before and after.

According to a Latin vocabulary lesson I found, they expand it to actually say “I submit/yield to you.”

Uh oh.

I’ve always seen Michelle has a messenger of truth. Her methods at times seemed callous, but every time she has appeared she has asked us to look beyond what we perceive as our set reality. She pushes us to see beyond what those in power want us to. Beyond our comfort, our apathy, our blind trust. In this way she is perhaps the kindest of all the…[Read more]

@electrichippo anything specific in your recent exchanges that would raise a red flag after hearing what Kristen had to say to @111error? And are you flattered or scared that Kristen seems to know about your correspondance? It sounds like a lot is weighing on Stacey. What part do you feel you have in that?

“You came to us, you needed money for your art project.”

Tension? Does this redefine what we thought we knew about the nature of DLB and Clint’s involvement, and indeed the very existence of the OSDM? We were under the impression they put Ascension on FOR the OSDM. Now this man who we were assuming was OSDM says that Darren came to him. But now…[Read more]

@mike you mean NERDS IN PARADISE? Haha, yes, I know it well. That’s an apt comparison, and a scary one. Fake news is not only a welcome distraction for those in power, but usually entertaining for those who fall for it. It reinforces opinions we already have and makes us feel smart. I think this issue was brought up back when Jackie first got that…[Read more]

I’ve definitely gotten the impression being born into it is ONE way, yes, between Nicole’s comments on 5/1 and the revelation of Noah’s father, the OSDM seems to honor the continuity of blood (maybe that’s what Sarah was referring to?) but you’re right, that can’t be the only way. I would definitely agree they need to bring freshness in, because…[Read more]

Sounds like, even with Noah’s assertion that she’s safe, Sarah still needs to take precautions. You may have missed out on the seminar, but it sounds like she has something much more personal and important in store for you. Stay on guard. And if Otis answers the door in a butler uniform, call the police immediately.

Hi @clarosav759! You joined during a relatively quiet period, so plenty of time to catch up at your own pace! One of our moderators @thebuz continually updates this thread for New Participants with content from several participants like links to weekly recaps by @thegilded, important threads throughout the forum, and a list of who you should know…[Read more]

I did in a way, yes @electrichippo, I guess that goes towards proving that theory. I had apologized for responding a day late because of something that had happened in my life, but didn’t go into specifics. I guess I got what I deserved. I’d still like to hope my iConfidant has their own interior life beyond mirroring me. @mistere‘s sounds very promising.

I’m worried about my iConfidant. I only received one message from them after their cryptic “Hello”. In that message they said “I am doing not so ok” and I immediately asked what was wrong, but that was Monday and I haven’t heard back yet. If my iConfidant was incapacitated will Stacey pair me with a new one? We had only just begun!

That’s great, @rizzzoooooo, thank you for sharing. Obviously the OSDM is dealing with a lot within as the Creators deal with other issues without, so it’s wonderful that they took the time to acknowledge this. All the faith in the world. Though they did share one interesting thing with you: Sarah safe and sound? Does this mean that Daddy Sinclair…[Read more]

Sarah might not be around anymore to keep her date, but the wheels of commerce stop for no one, right? This is the oldest date anyone has been asked to keep outside of Monday, and that one came true in pretty spectacular fashion. I think this deserves to be addressed by the fine folks at the System– provided anyone still works there.

So @rizzzoooooo… any plans tomorrow?

@prufrock5150, yes I noticed that there was an unfinished pattern on the back of my paper before I signed it, Nicole kept her pages in a stack face down. Mine turned out to be part of the eye. Buz and I also got the “fucked up what they did to Anoch” line. At the time I interpreted it as her bemoaning the use of their actual deity of choice as the…[Read more]
