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.

Suing sounds awesome, but... can we really sue someone who we can't even really talk to?
heiroglyphs: (let me ponder how much you suck)

[personal profile] heiroglyphs 2017-05-02 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I have very expensive lawyers. They'll figure something out.

[personal profile] strongestheart 2017-05-02 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Are they gonna believe you when they can't see the evidence, though?
heiroglyphs: (ignoring you)

[personal profile] heiroglyphs 2017-05-02 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Can't I like
Send them my phone or something?
Ugh I bet the app would just delete itself.
This is stupid.

[personal profile] strongestheart 2017-05-02 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
It sure would!

I tried showing it to my Mom - also a lawyer because I had the same idea at the start - and it just went POOF! Gone. As if it was never there.

She thought I was either trying to prank her or was losing it.

Ugh, my father would not respond well if he thought I was deliberately wasting his time.
There has to be a way to save the evidence.
We can't just let them win.

[personal profile] strongestheart 2017-05-02 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, exactly.

I've been trying to figure out ways for months to do SOMETHING, but the only thing I keep coming back to is the Retrospec building and somehow getting further into it.
Which ... doesn't seem possible at the moment, either.
heiroglyphs: (huff)

[personal profile] heiroglyphs 2017-05-02 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
What if we just broke in
With like
a sledgehammer

[personal profile] strongestheart 2017-05-02 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
I feel like another way to ask that is, "what if we wanted to get arrested."

There's gotta be a more subtle way to do that.
heiroglyphs: (um what)

[personal profile] heiroglyphs 2017-05-02 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Idk how much longer we can afford to be subtle.
Besides all we have to do is find a crime to pin on Retrospec and the police will do the door-busting for us.
How hard can it be?

[personal profile] twelfthspark 2017-05-03 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you tried screencaps?
heiroglyphs: (is it also a gun?)

[personal profile] heiroglyphs 2017-05-03 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That works??? I thought the app would delete them as soon as you tried.
Hold on I'll try.

[And she sends over a screencap of one of the pictures. Enjoy the sight of Vera's butt in yoga pants.]
twelfthspark: ([:\] rolling back your eyes)

[personal profile] twelfthspark 2017-05-04 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
You couldn't send a different one?

Like literally anything else.
heiroglyphs: (rly?)

[personal profile] heiroglyphs 2017-05-04 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh don't even.
I had to send one that they sent me.
If it was just any old picture how would I know if it would be affected?
twelfthspark: ([>:(] gonna fuck up your ego)

[personal profile] twelfthspark 2017-05-04 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
So they only got you once.
heiroglyphs: (did you just)

[personal profile] heiroglyphs 2017-05-04 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
No, they've sent a bunch.
They're all like that.
I wish I was joking.
twelfthspark: ([>:|] razor sharp razor clean)

[personal profile] twelfthspark 2017-05-04 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
God. Fucking perv.
