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.

Ami Aihara basically nothing!
dude I just got this app this morning, I am not exactly an expert on it or its parent company or any villainous activities they may be up to :p

Re: Emil

[frisyr]

You too?

Wait, what did you do yesterday? Maybe we can figure out how we both got into this mess!

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara sure it's as good an idea as any
but I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so you may be disappointed
I finished some English homework, took a nap, watched a movie, and had dinner with my family
just a quiet day in, really

[frisyr]

Oh, I watched a movie too! What movie was it?

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara Extraterrestrials 3

[frisyr]

No, I definitely wasn't watching that or anything like it.

Did you rent it from someplace? Maybe they put something in their computer while we weren't looking!

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara that is another nope unfortunately
we own it
and I wasn't watching it on my phone so I doubt that'd be an effective transmission vector for a phone app

[frisyr]

Man... How about your parents? Do they have the app?

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara nope yet again
(a hat trick of nopes!)
actually I tried asking them about it earlier, but they couldn't even see it on my phone.

[frisyr]

What do you mean they couldn't see it?

Like, you pulled it up and it was working and they couldn't... see it?

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara kind of. I pulled it up to show to them, but it crashed when dad came to look over my shoulder.
and then it restarted again when he looked away
that happened twice, and after that he thought I was pranking him or something.

[frisyr]

Weird. Did that happen with your mom too?

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara yeah, the same thing

[frisyr]

Hmmm

Can you turn off your camera?

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara I don't know
what would that do?

[frisyr]

Maybe it recognizes your face! And so it shuts down when it sees someone else.

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara oh!! that's a good idea actually
ummm let's see
I don't know how to turn it off but I can put some masking tape over the lens
that should have roughly the same effect

[frisyr]

Good idea!

I'll go try that too...

[ Except, come to think of it, he doesn't have anybody to test it out on. No friends who don't have the app. Just coworkers.

So, um. He'll just sit back down and wait for a response. ]

[livingdeadgirl]

[emil pls

anyway a few minutes later...]

Ami Aihara it doesn't appear to have made a difference
how about on your end?

[frisyr]

[ UHHHHHHHHH ]

Nope. No difference.

Ugh. Crazy! How are they even doing that?!
