Yep @thegilded, I also agree with @sbkevin, wise words.
Patience often leads to reward.

I currently fall into the category of getting an initial response but no response to my response.

I was asked the three question of Who and Why am I? And, why do I want The System? I gave a fairly honest response of how I function in the corporate environment. Also, I hinted that if they don’t see emotional strength/empathy as an asset then…[Read more]

@bruinbown I can relate to some of what you say. I am an editor working primarily in animation. (Also, I have some acting in my past.) Part of the reason I think the ability to “drop in” is so available may be that we have to do it professionally. I have to revisit the same story over and over again and it’s my job to see it with fresh eyes and…[Read more]

Interesting, @michelle. Yes, trust is a huge issue for me, especially when it comes to the physical. It’s hard for me to explore emotionally if I don’t trust.

@electrichippo You hit it perfectly… listen, find your own path, and none of us have the same triggers or limits. That’s part of what makes this community so interesting. Your words…[Read more]

To be honest, I do not know “where” my fourth wall is. I react sincerely. That’s the best I can say. It is thrilling when a piece of art (in any medium) can move me emotionally.

In immersive events, I try to be genuine in my reactions, I do not try to “act a role” even if I might be doing things in a more adventurous manner than Everyday…[Read more]

@thegilded No offense meant, Sean. I am referring to the mischievous friends who seem to be setting me up just a bit. 😉

And @111error, at the moment I am only interested in your lusty vocal stylings.
At the moment.

@blondie Dialects have never been my strong point as a performer. For you, I may give it a whirl, though. But… does your comment mean I cannot turn to @111error as a resource or coach?

@ziegenbart From henceforth, if any subjects wish to address me as The King of Empathy, I will not protest… simply because I have been called so much worse…[Read more]

@lilmsfancpants It’s funny, I grew up in the deep, deep south but raised in a home without a specific religion. I have witnessed some pretty odd behavior “in the name of God.”
Yes, I have seen people “find” the devil to inhabit everything from their car to actual people. Sexuality wasn’t a biological urge, it was the voice of Satan himself…[Read more]

Hey, @lasalle! Glad to see you around here! It was great running into you at Wicked Lit and I am so happy you seemed to exploring so much during the haunt season.

Also, thank you for the kind words @dontscarecrly, @creepsociety and @larry!

@thegilded Yeah, I am also in the same camp as you… since the earlier comment of “Now, let’s talk about your heart” would indicate (at least, to me), there is something much more intimate and insidious in store than fire and brimstone.

I have now received an email asking for more information about me and my interest in this seminar.

So far, I am one of the folks who have gotten no response. My guess is eventually we will all receive responses… it seems logical if they are taking the time to tell some they are not selected or the spots are “sold out.”

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this in connection with Noah’s selection methods… one of the words featured prominently…[Read more]

Oh, my.
@pandace88, I have never been called a “gateway drug” before. I may have to add that into the “special skills” section on my resume!! 😉
Seriously, thank you for saying that about My Haunt Life. Very happy to hear we may have helped you find a few fun adventures here and there!

@ziegenbart Thank you for the kind words about My Haunt Life. YES, definitely remember the conversation you inspired! Glad to hear you are reaching out in your own community to find kindred spirits.
As this progresses, who knows what OSDM has in store for the community? Even in times of disagreement (if that is ahead), I believe you will…[Read more]

Thanks @mike and @bcbishop. My first impression of Samson was that he was completely ineffectual… he seemed unfamiliar with the Tension Forums, was confused when I asked for him to specify an instruction he gave me… and his computer was caught in a loop and refused to allow me to sign in. He gave up in frustration and ended the scene. It…[Read more]

During my visit to Ascension, I never encountered Noah. Anyone who did encounter him… can you comment on his specific demeanor or actions? Did anything you see give a hint to the aggressive attitude his website promotes?

Random side thought – Early in this thread people seem surprised that some of the images on his website may be stock…[Read more]

Thank you, kindly, @111error. @mike and I appreciate the support you have offered, and that of so many others in this community, for My Haunt Life. Knowing we may have encouraged anyone to explore and discover new events or offered someone a perspective that helped them in any way… it is both humbling and heartwarming.

@thegilded You make a nice point about buying into the greater illusion of whatever we choose to participate in when it comes to ARG or immersive events. What we would do in “real life” is different than what we choose to do in such invented environments. Yes, I believe we all played a role in The Tension Experience that was based on ourselves.…[Read more]
