Polling the Masses?

Did anyone else receive a strange survey from Retrospec today, asking what we would most like to have brought back? I am being absolutely serious. I just received one from that morceau de merde, Jim. I cannot even begin to decide what to think about this. Are they polling us now? As if we have any say in the matter?

what exactly did that survey say...? just like that?
i would like to have the world of 2016 as i knew it back, please

[true_noir]

It gave me options, like a multiple choice test, and I voted for the color blue. The option "You out of my life" was not there.

[appraiser]

then they can give it back! that's hopeful, if anything!

even if nobody else has gotten the survey, you one vote pulls blue ahead of the others, and it'll win?
will everything else disappear forever?

[true_noir]

Hopeful but distressing. It implies we're at their mercy in it still, but that's no surprise.

I have no idea. I really have no idea, but I don't think my one vote's enough. They had some weird tracker I couldn't understand clearly when I voted. Jim's awful at being easy to understand.

[commandertoolbelt]

uhhh what
since when have they cared what we want

[true_noir]

Since, apparently, today when I randomly received this. I strongly suspect he is trolling me, but I wanted to know if anyone else had gotten one of these surveys.

[commandertoolbelt]

there is absolutely no way he isn’t trolling
first he tells us to keep our secrets better and now he wants suggestions?
i don’t buy it

not that i'd mind having the colors back but still

[wordcarvings]

That's unusual. They don't tend to get in touch in such ways.

[true_noir]

Which is why I mentioned it in the first place. I was, to say the least, shocked. He didn't respond to any questions, just sent the poll. So, it's as helpful as ever in that regard.

[wordcarvings]

Yes, sorry, of course. Did anyone else get it? Why would he do that, I wonder.

[godcards]

Sounds like a scam.

You can't honestly expect them to care.

[true_noir]

Even if they did something because of this survey, I would not kid myself to think they cared. Anything involving Jim is automatically a scam.

[godcards]

So... did you answer it?

[uncagedbird]

I thought that would be obvious enough, considering how angry everyone is...

[Ari isn't very happy with... anything, really.]

If it was from Jim, it might not be anything more than harassment.

[true_noir]

It is painfully obvious, I think, but this is Jim. He's both dense and trollish. So I expect no less. And you might be right.

I wonder if I am the only one who will be getting this.

[uncagedbird]

It seems that way.

The harassment may continue in different forms and with different victims. He won't be inclined to stop as long as we give him a reaction.

I am not sure we can do anything one way or the other.

Viktor Nikiforov Oh, I received this survey earlier today
Viktor Nikiforov I assumed everyone had gotten it
Viktor Nikiforov I wonder if they're rolling it out slowly

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard So, I am not the only one.
Chloe Bouchard It appears to be random, and you and I are the only ones I know of to receive it.
Chloe Bouchard With Jim, who can say?

[viktorymaker]

Viktor Nikiforov Not me
Viktor Nikiforov Asking about the things that changed so casually
Viktor Nikiforov As if asking about the quality of service at a restaurant
Viktor Nikiforov Is a bit too much

Viktor Nikiforov What were you asked?

[bold_in_deed]

oh christ

what was it about? i didn't get a survey or anything

[true_noir]

A gentleman named Victor got it apparently. It was about "What I wanted to see returned," basically and gave me a list of options. I voted for blue.

I can't tell for sure if it's a sick joke, though I suspect so.

[bold_in_deed]

Probably. Wtf. Ugh I WANT those colors back. I hate how stupid my eyes look now

[frostythehitman]

Jim sent you a survey? I haven't heard of anyone else getting one. I definitely didn't.

What does he even mean, "brought back"? From where? It's not like we've seen any of the crap they've sent us so far.

[true_noir]

Only one other got one. It seems to be very random. And, as to 'from where,' God only knows. It could be completely full of bullshit, after all.

[frostythehitman]

Only two people...out of how many of us? That makes no sense.

Why would they bother sending out a survey at all if it's totally BS, though? I know Retrospec is already full of it to start with, but that just means they can't pull off more BS than they already are--they're gonna reach bullshit critical mass soon enough.
