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.

This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

I don't know if there's anything specific indicating the app is what causes people to realize it. I'm not sure how to test that either. But there's a correlation at least.

Get app then realize things are weird.
People who don't have it don't realize anything about chobobos or fruits.
There's nothing solid linking them, and correlation doesn't imply causation.
But it's still something.

You're right. The timing is always going to be suspicious, so it's important we recognize these connections.

That being said, I should also point out people don't tend to notice whenever individuals change as well. Either they see it as normal, or they believe the change is something kind of mundane, like someone coloring their hair or in that vein.

The last time this app was forcibly released was during February. Correct? There are n't enough points to make a connection, but the timing is another thing to look out for.

So they just think it's been like that the whole time or they don't acknowledge it at all. What's been the strangest thing?
