Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options.

Anyway, now that the copypaste part is out of the way! Jim here, requesting you guys make your secret meetings a little more exciting. It's not like you're not trying with the whole "let's meet off the network!" dealio, but I have some serious concerns. For one thing, no secret handshakes or phrases? Not even dramatic meeting locations? The trying rating is about half a star if that. And I'm almost bored to tears with the whole back and forth about what's going on. Not bored enough to give you a cheat sheet, but still. I can't get myself taken off surveillance duty, so at least try to make it a little more exciting!

You guys might like this wikihow. Later!

Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Characters who have been in game for more than one month will find they can change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice.

At various points throughout the day users will be sent images of themselves from behind, regardless of where they are. There doesn't seem to be any way to catch whoever might be taking and sending these, however, especially since being alone in a room doesn't seem to be a deterrent.

You can't. I've been trying for 3 months.

If you do something stupid to your phone, it'll just pop up on your computer. And next phone.

[Give him a second.]

It's already on my computer. I never signed up for this.

Yep. That's the way its worked for all of us, welcome to the... club?

[He's not entirely against new experiences but he definitely didn't sign anything related to Retrospec.]

I don't want to be here.

I'm pretty sure a lot of us don't, at this point.

Like. Don't get me wrong. I've made some really good friends on this thing in the last three months, but... It's pretty unnerving, yeah.

Are you trying to say it's not all bad?
strongestheart: (064)

[personal profile] strongestheart 2017-05-02 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so!

Besides the spying. And turning horses into chocobos. And making different kinds of fruit have weird faces... and a bunch of other weird things...

But a lot of people are nice, still! And I might not have met them otherwise.

You aren't making a good case.
strongestheart: (012)

[personal profile] strongestheart 2017-05-02 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not.

But... I guess I didn't have any really good friends before now. I do now. So that's a plus.

So you were friendless.
Despite everything that's happened, you're fine with it.
Because you have friends now?

[personal profile] strongestheart 2017-05-02 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
No, no. It's not so much "fine."

If I could flush my phone down the toilet - and trust me, I was tempted at first -
and be rid of this, I'd do it in a heartbeat. If it'd work.

But... gotta take the good with the bad, sometimes. Or you'll go crazy.

[personal profile] glaciers 2017-05-02 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
But it wouldn't. Correct?
That's one way to deal with it.

[personal profile] strongestheart 2017-05-02 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Corrrrrrrrrect.

There's no escape short of cutting all technology out of our lives but HAHAHA, like.

That's not happening and then we wouldn't be able to be in contact with other people in the know.

I can't do that. I have work.
They picked a good platform, I'll give them that.

No one can do that nowadays and function in society.
They pretty much got us hook, line, and sinker.

Is there a way to turn off notifications?
