Winston Smith

I couldn’t be get to the location so thanks to @rpearl for picking one up for me.

OOh, are we breaking out our robes, and wizard hats?

It’s pretty clear that Morgan has no idea who he can, or can’t trust right now. He needs help, or he’s gonna drown. When you reach a drowning swimmer, they’re not relieved to see you, they grab onto you in a panic, and push you under the water so they can get one more breath. Then you both drown, unless you’ve got one of those floatie thingies…[Read more]

Is @111error under duress in some way? @a can send him home, he clearly doesn’t have a whole ton of agency to make decisions on his own, he’s calling on behalf of a shadowy “we”, and making frantic, repeated demands for information RIGHT NOW, without really having much in the way of an explanation as to why the urgency and aggressive tone.…[Read more]

Yeah, this was fun! Good times everyone! Let’s reconvene in a year to reminisce about the time we did that thing.

So, data destroyed, I guess we’re done here? Last one out has to lock up…

I didn’t get a call, but I’m probably on Morgan’s shit list right now anyway. 🙂

I wanted to give @111eror the benefit of the doubt. I raised some questions with him early and got some pushback. I didn’t want to blow up his spot, so I held back for a while to see how things played out, and whether any of that transparency showed up.

When Addison made his decision to flip, and started talking about the TMC event, triggering…[Read more]

YES! All the things that Morgan *won’t* say or do speak loudly. He can’t or won’t explain his relationship with Michelle or Briarberg. He talks about transparency while justifying his need to be completely opaque. His words and his actions are not congruent with each other.

Morgan is hiding something because he knows we’re not going to like…[Read more]

It’s gotta be #1, or #2.

If their reason for existing is to collect, and utilize data, then #1 is the ticket.

If their reason for existing is to use that data to call forth Anoch, or some shit like that, then the data is just a means to achieve that particular end.

Either way, the data is the weak point in the middle.

#3 sounds unpalatable.…[Read more]

Maybe this isn’t a test with a correct answer, it’s just a decision we have to make?

If you somehow managed to find yourself a guilty party on the wrong end of a serious interrogation, this will show you how utterly fucked you really are.

I met Joe Navarro, one of the authors. He’s a former FBI counter-intelligence interrogator. The man broke…[Read more]

Pretty much, yeah.

@111error So, instead of physically torturing people you just psychologically tortured them a little, to find out if you could trust them? That’s supposed to make it all better?

Oh, it’s ok guys…we just sic’ed the dogs at ’em, and stacked ’em in a pyramid to make a point. Trust us, it was a really good point, and nobody actually got hurt.…[Read more]

Yeah, but that was a year ago, before all this “there is no ig/oog/it’s all in game/what game?” stuff started. So, now it isn’t as clear that this is OOG as it was then.

The only person I can think of who would call @kipsie and expect her to know who it was would be Sabrina. I’m shit with voices over the phone so it’s hard to be sure.

The thing that’s weird is that when we were talking on Slack earlier, and @a was deleting a bunch of messages, I commented that I had their number, intending it figuratively. @a…[Read more]

So, in the face of a complete and total lack of evidence to suggest, or imply that Joyce deserved to be murdered, you start out by assuming that the murderer might have had a good reason? This sounds a little like one of those “on many sides” kinda deals, ya know what I mean?

Gee, we already made up our minds, and decided that Mason was a bad…[Read more]
