A hearty welcome to new Forums members. I noticed Mike Eaton (aka @russell-eaton) has joined us, and raised a couple of interesting points.

I feel many of us did enter LUST looking at ourselves… because that’s where Tension led us. All that we placed faith in (okay… some of us placed faith in) was revealed to be a house of illusion, a…[Read more]

Sorry @larry, I did not connect your post to the Sinclair email responses… mainly because I am one of the people who never got any response from them after I answered the follow up questions. So, no, I was not “chosen” as part of that process. Also, I have not received any contact from anyone who might be a “Shadow” of me.

Thanks for the…[Read more]

@larry I think only time will reveal that… or perhaps we choose to put faith in the idea that we were “chosen,” which I think is what @lukasrl is doing. (I like the proactive thinking there!)

I have been driving, so I missed this as it was unfolding.
Thank you for pointing out that fake profile and sharing that pic Chris / @macbethinabathtub, much appreciated.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!!!
(Highlander? anyone? Anyone?)

@lukasrl Glad to hear your old password works, mine did, as well. (As far as acting “normal,” not sure how you…[Read more]

Thank you for that reminder of the direct reference from Michelle, @mkarrett. I do wonder, though, if OSDM was always meddling or if they took over all of the information later in the game when they became more visible to us in general. At the end, it seems to me that OSDM had given the slower process of putting Addison in place a chance to be…[Read more]

Wow, @larry, thanks for all of this! Great food for thought.

Something that jumped into my mind as I was reading it ties directly into the “reflection” aspect of the philosophical connections. Everyone who attended the “Hood” event in Tension last spring spent most of that sequence staring into a mirror. We were told to absolutely NOT look…[Read more]

Seriously. @thegilded makes a very valid point. Is this community seriously thinking we are somehow supposed to physically get to Biloxi, MS to investigate this in person? THINK, people.
I am going to laugh hysterically if this is simply a vacation photo or something. If it is more than that – I bet there is information or a reference that…[Read more]

@thebuz Thanks for adding to the list of odd encounters with Sabrina… it seems several of had them.

The helmet? Damn, I wish we knew more about the actual function of that thing. I wore it only a short period of time. During that, I was so focused on the threatening tone of Gatekeeper 4 and doing my best not to betray what I knew about…[Read more]

@mike Only on special occasions.

@addisonborn I had the chance to speak with Sabrina briefly at the gathering on Wednesday. She suddenly became distracted and walked away in a hurry as someone else approached to say something to me. She moved to the rear of one of the adjacent corridors, away from the crowd.

A couple of minutes passed and I was able to follow her… she had…[Read more]

@addisonborn Did not interpret your question that way at all!

No, in Tension there was no reference that I can recall to where I grew up.

@addisonborn It felt odd when I saw the location but I do not see any connection. You were right there for most of the conversation. Nothing really personal was discussed other than him telling the story to you about seeing my editing credit on an animation project. I asked how his recent film shoot went, then the conversation died out when he…[Read more]

There is another military base in the neighboring city of Gulfport, it’s a small SeaBee base. Thought I would mention it since people are pondering military connections

I lived a couple cities away from that area for a while.

@mkarrett Nice eye for detail, Melissa! 😉

@bcbishop You are right… the “Does faith create?” question, so far, has been under the guise of greed and acquiring stuff and exerting one’s will onto or over others.
However, the same conversation can apply to good and evil. Those topics have also been brought up already in reference to emerging players.
(For a beautiful exploration of this…[Read more]

Bryan, this is a long shot… but thought I would ask. You have heard Michelle speak a couple of times… any chance the female voice from the call you received in Austin was actually Michelle?

That would support Mike’s pondering a connection between Noah and Michelle… or I wonder if you spoke with Chief Operating Officer Sarah…[Read more]

present a stuff bear to a woman in a Red Dress

Or… a stuffed cat to a woman in a white dress?

Sorry, Sean, could not resist. haha! 😉

Absolutely agree, @thegilded. There is a rule of gameplay that sets up the concept you do not engage or force a scene on someone who clearly has not been given the option to “opt out” or may be innocent and UNAWARE of what is going on.
You don’t “role-play” publicly in a manner where innocent people are forced to be engaged in what you are…[Read more]

@mkarrett That list is awesome. I wish there was a way it could be “pinned” to the top of this thread.

Melissa hits on some extremely good points, as others do in this thread. Use common sense, don’t take things personally and respect others…. all key aspects of this. More than likely, if you fully invest, you may find some of the things you…[Read more]

It is interesting, @lasalle and @pandace88, to consider Noah as former clay that has been molded into his current persona for a specific purpose by some to-be-named-later Puppetmaster. OSDM?
But, there is a difference in the OOA’s faith in what we, as a community, could project of ourselves onto Addison/Sabrina and this Noah creation that has…[Read more]
