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.

I was trying to be nice, but, yes. You're right, of course.

That's not very comforting at all, actually. Even if it is limited to people within the city, how long's that going to be the case? Maybe they're committed to keeping it local for now, but they'll branch out sooner or later, I'd bet.

based on the vitriol being levelled against this Jim person from the other people on this app, suffice to say that being nice is probably off the cards at this point of time.

... There has to be a way to stop them before they expand. Somehow.

It's the first time I've actually seen a human (presumably) from this company make themselves known. Didn't want to scare them off, you know?

Anyway, that...sounds a bit drastic, don't you think?

[crushcard]

Apparently there are other staff members that have made themselves known, purely based on what I've seen on previous posts on this app.

Would you want a sophisticated government surveillance mechanism expanding further than this city? I wouldn't. I'd rather it be gone.

[testgasm]

Obviously, but do we really have to jump straight to 'burn it all down'?

[crushcard]

I would call that a drastic last resort measure but I don't really take kindly to mass blatant infringement of privacy and what could amount to stalking and harrassment.

I don't suppose getting a lawyer involved would help any.

[crushcard]

Unfortunately, the lawyer I usually work with doesn't seem to be able to see anything related to the app. The screenshots I've sent somehow have ended up as corrupted files that can't be viewed on any image reader.

[testgasm]

Well that's

an obstacle.

Any lawyers in the secret club, or do they keep them out on purpose? Suppose I could just ask around.
