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.

I'm pretty sure it's meant to freak you out, dude.
It's a way for them to tell us that they're always watching our asses and that we aren't competent enough to catch them in the ass.
Which is also probably a way to get back at us for calling them a useless company run by idiots for several months now?
In the, "Haha, fuckers, who can't do shit NOW?"
The answer is us, apparently.

Ami Aihara they're just trolling us all, huh?
you know, at first I didn't really understand the level of disdain for Retrospec that I was hearing
but if this is the kind of stunt they like to pull, I think I'm starting to get it.

Did you just get the app then?
Because the only way you didn't understand it is if you didn't have it til just now.

Ami Aihara yeah, earlier today.
I keep going back and forth, though. because on the one hand there's this creepy stuff but
on the other hand I hear some people are developing actual superpowers??? and that part is awesome!
but I could do with less of the stalking

You also get weird shit in the mail OR you find it lying around, and even though you've never goddamn seen it before in your life you're mysteriously drawn to it!!
And you keep getting visions of yourself doing stuff you also never did before! Maybe it's a past life? Reincarnation? Alien bodyswap conspiracy?
We have no clue!!
But yeah. Fucking awesome.
