• I totally get what you’re laying down here. I do trust and I do submit in this experience, that is absolutely a part of this. We are at the mercy of TPTB and I have indeed submitted to them. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have gone to the convenience store and started Periscoping. I played ball, I performed the task initially given to me. I trust TPTB…[Read more]

  • @bcbishop But…. isn’t that what he’s doing? Actually doing? He’s showing us how to put people in an emotional state where you can then lie to them and gain power over them. Yes it’s empowering us, but he’s ending these empowering statements with “next steps” that take things into dark territory. Power is not always used for good.

  • Indeed @thebuz. You can make anything look positive or negative if presented in the right light to the right audience.

    Alright so @maddyxxx now seems to now be educating us on manipulations, showing us exactly how the OSDM can manipulate us to gain power. I just hope he’s doing so in order to help us fend off the OSDM’s tactics much like @111error…[Read more]

    I LOVE IT!!!

  • “He said something like what if there were more people you could get power over.. everyone has a button.”

    So…. is this Noah revealing at the dark side of The System? The good (Candace realizing she has power) with the bad (getting power over others by pressing their “button”).

    Curious to see how the other calls played out.

  • Thank you for that @cass. I’ll admit, the days following that “task” were hard. I felt like I fucked up, I felt like I was given an opportunity that I threw away. But in the end, I said on my ticket for The System that I felt like I failure because I give in. Too many times I don’t stand up to people in positions of power over me. And if only for…[Read more]

  • @izryn Do you think that’s something of note? What’s happening with many of these tasks is wonderful, but goes entirely against the image of The System being put out by the marketing rebrand. There’s a disconnect happening here. The version of The System that is happening with these calls does not seem to be reflected by the marketing materials…[Read more]

  • @thebuz Totally get ya. It very well may have been that. Noah… confuses me. A lot. I try to get a sense of where he’s coming from and when I think I understand his motives, he shifts. I think a lot of that has to do with The System and the image of Noah they want him to put out there VS the person he really is.

    I’ve been wrong about people…[Read more]

    “Burn Them All”

    Burn Them All

  • @coryphella It’s possible it could’ve been a confidence thing, but he didn’t say that in his call. He said it was a shame thing. I’ll admit that I do have a fair amount of shame, but it doesn’t tie in with convenience store dirty mags. The task didn’t fit the supposed reason, and as such felt more like a power play.

    @thebuz I really don’t think…[Read more]

  • See, this just adds further confusion to my “task”.

    @chelsea – “Open up to some strangers!”
    @daela – “Call someone who made an impact on your life”
    @thegilded – “Make a FB post about tackling a fear”
    @pandace88 – “Reach out to someone who hurt you”

    “Brad, go buy some dirty magazines”

    All the other tasks genuinely have a positive outcome that…[Read more]

    “Power without abuse loses its charm” -Paul Valery
    Anyone able to identify the painting? It looks like pure chaos.

    So this of course leaves the question, who is (or who is about to) abuse their power?

  • @blondie I’d personally prefer that actually. My September / October is always a shit-show schedule wise due to my haunting. It’s honestly the only thing that kept me from joining Tension waaaaay back when it first started. I assumed it would take place during October and I’d not be able to go.

    Still kick myself for that one.

  • What stands out to me is the eyeball is the same one used by @111error on the TMC Slack (I’m assuming that was him, if TMC was his BOS recruitment scheme). He’d put that emoji next to messages as a sort of “I’ve seen this” notice. Very much an “always watching” vibe whenever the eyeball would show up.

  • @kortneydarling That moment fucked me up GOOD. I was honestly surprised by your response and thought I was being set up to see how I’d react. Hearing your explanation here it makes perfect sense now.

  • I’ve always found this an incredibly interesting topic of discussion. I believe that we DO have the power to change our own lives. That the decisions we make are indeed our own, that no outside power gets to make that choice.

    BUT, and this is a big one, those decisions are absolutely swayed by outside sources. How we were raised, the events that…[Read more]

  • OK guys, been thinking a bit more on this. Yes, what happened today does leave a bad taste in my mouth, because I do inherently believe you shouldn’t brag about helping others. I personally believe you should help those in need because they need help, rather than using it as a way to make yourself look good.

    After seeing exactly what The System…[Read more]

  • Since we seem to be on a Bible kick lately…

    “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

    So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others.…[Read more]

    might make them angry
    but
    it will make you free.
