@russell I have full respect for your interpretation, as always. I find it difficult, with Mason as well as Sabrina to a lesser degree, to sift out the truth amongst the lies. I think @chelsea’s analysis of our past interactions with Mason may be beneficial in this regard, but as I see it now, I’d want to know what exactly he’s saving the world f…[Read more]

I almost see it as the temptation to relinquish control itself; the core of what we Lust after in so many ways.

Aren’t we all somehow after a metaphorical…or even physical…loss of control?

That would be a nasty tactic to pull on someone.
(Hell, I don’t feel even Mason would deserves such underhanded treatment.)

I dunno @russell, Mason is a straight up gleeful murderer, I venture to say he deserves whatever he gets.

Now, what he might do if he discovers he’s been left behind…that’s something to be wary of.

Per @coryphella’s context, we’ve been talking about Noah possibly dueling a version of himself on Slack. It got me thinking:
We’d started a thread a whole MONTH ago about the idea that Mason and Noah may be related in more ways than just having a similar upbringing. Thread HERE

Noah loves Egyptology, and Horus did have four sons, after all.…[Read more]

A while ago, I threw out the idea that OSDM and Briarberg were rival companies.

I was thinking about this last night and it really does seem to track now, more than ever. There’s also this memory of those Shadow accounts with slightly different names that appeared here way back when. It almost makes me see Briarberg as a Shadow version o…[Read more]

Michelle and Mason seem to have a version of a common goal, for now. Take down OSDM. Both out of some sort of vengeance for something taken from them, if their stories to Buz and Chelsea are to be believed.

The interesting twist here is Briarberg itself. I don’t think it’s just some elaborate front; so why waste resources on that? Where does the…[Read more]

@chelsea I’m also still stuck as to why the OSDM is doing the whole charity gig. Because I think we all know that’s got to be some kind of bullshit, right? Mason’s sabotaging that but is it at his own behest? I guess we have to ask what Mason/Briarberg gets out of 91 deaths?

@chelsea I think the Joyce Lives(?) theory comes from a combination of not really knowing Mason due to his unpredictablity, and a bit of wishful thinking.
His behavior before and after her death could just be to reinforce the type of person he wants us to believe he is, contributing to the cover in the opposite way. Then again, he’s u…[Read more]

Important things to note from this: what did Mason mean when he pointed out the insect that we didnt notice because it was “playing dead?” Is Joyce too easy of an answer? You have to admit, its not a bad way to get someone out of the OSDM when theyre so deeply involved.

Also Mason had thanked Bryan, presumably for giving him the opportunity to…[Read more]

For reference, here’s the bit from Seldon’s Discourse:

@chelsea perhaps Noah/BOS, or even the idea of a seemingly untenable alliance between Mason and BOS? The methods are very, very different but we have to admit there’s a common goal there.

All right, so I’ve been picking through the original source material for the quote here. Basically it has a lot to do with “political juggling,” as in the idea that people in power need to coordinate with those that might seemingly be contrary to their interests in order to achieve a common goal. It also discusses the idea of community appoi…[Read more]

The disguising voices thing is a bit odd; these are supposedly pencil pushers and office workers, etc, why would they know our voices that well?

I’m also cross posting from Slack but this whole thing reminds me of the tasks @thebuz did for Noah. He gave a nice gift to someone, it made him feel great, and then he was asked to take something away f…[Read more]

This is heartening news for now. Just hoping that these actions don’t have equal and opposite reactions, for once.

Definitely fits with yesterday’s, and possibly today’s, goings on for Bryan, here. All eyes were quite literally on him for that decision.

Sabrina’s clarification to Bryan hones in on the fact that we are behing asked to decide the fate of real people, and whatever we chose would be no skin of the OS/ODSM’s back. If “dissolve” means “put to death,” which a lot of us are assuming it does, then it feels like we’re being deliberately pushed to choose “absolve” as the empathetic choice…[Read more]

I like very much that this is a seemingly detailed image, just with some of the information removed.
