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! Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated 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. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

If he's that bored maybe we should write him a new program to keep him busy. Or send him a video game or something, I don't know. If they have a physical address we could drop something off and let things go from there, but this one-way mirror thing is pretty annoying.

There's a building in Tisse. However, no one ever seems to be there.

I don't know why you'd want to go through the effort of wanting to keep him entertained, when he should be perfectly capable of doing that himself. In ways that don't include stalking, but I'm not too optimistic about him giving up on that quite yet.

[zerotohiro]

If nobody's there what's the point of having a building?

I don't know, maybe he'd knock this crap off if he was entertained some other way? You've never dealt with internet trolls before have you?

[godcards]

To hide the fact that they're somewhere else? They could possibly need a building to meet certain business requirements, or they're part of something much more sinister. It's hard to tell.

Not personally, no. But wouldn't it be the same? Feed into what he wants and he'll only stick around. We don't want that.

[zerotohiro]

Sinister? Okay, maybe that's a little much since it's probably a guy behind a keyboard who's tapped into a satellite somewhere. I get your point and we can't be too careful anymore but that's a stretch.

Ignoring him hasn't been doing us any good so that's the only solution I can even think of.

[godcards]

I said "or." I know it's not like it's the end of the world... but their reach does extend beyond more than just social media. It's questionable at best.

I plan to keep ignoring his requests, as he shouldn't get the satisfaction of anyone listening to him.

[zerotohiro]

Yeah, that's better. Questionable is definitely the word I'd use since this seems to be a thing that's gone on for a while.

Maybe we should split up the outcome then. Half of us ignore him, half of us indulge him and see how it works out. If we get two different sets of results that'll give us an idea of where to go from here don't you think?

[godcards]

Two groups would be the best idea, but that's not taking into the fact the number of people who are prone to hysterics, even if they're in the ignore group. I don't think you'd get a very reliable sample, all things considered.

[zerotohiro]

Okay so what about a volunteer basis and then the hysterical people can just sort of...I don't know, ignore without being part of the ignore group or freak out without being part of the action group. Would THAT work?

[godcards]

You're taking this pretty seriously, aren't you?
I guess if you wanted to organize it, that approach would be the best one.
