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.

Shin Asuka: I am all up for trying out new stuff in terms of social network, but fucking installing yourself into my phone with no way of removing it? This is sketchy af and I ain't having any of this.

Also, get your own secret meetings, Jim.

Maybe because he's desperate. Desperation always causes people to do the dumbest shit after all.

[skald]

So.... a lonely, creepy guy decided to make an app that no one can get rid of, then stalk hundreds of strangers, because no one would talk to him otherwise?

Jim: this is probably why people don't talk to you.

[impulsives]

ikr, jim needs to get either a life or a better hobby, really.

still, some of the back shots look good at least. even though i have no clue how the fuck he can take pictures with none of us noticing.

[skald]

Aw, really? I don't like any of mine (even if they weren't super creepy). My hair looks odd from the back.

I bet he's hacking security cameras or something!

[impulsives]

uh

shit

now that i think about it

there wasn't any camera in the room for one specific shot.

because it's my dorm's fucking bathroom.

now this shit's just creepy.

[skald]

Uh

okay that's scary for

a number of reasons.

You should definitely go to the police.

[impulsives]

do you think they'd believe "SOMEONE IS TAKING PICTURES OF ME with no hidden camera in the bathroom" ?????

think of it as shitty jerky, and leave it at that.

also. your name seems familiar, you in recolle university or something?

[physix]

I'm there all the time. Maybe you've seen me before.

Are you a student there too?

[impulsives]

yeah, i just started recently. maybe we shared some class together, i guess. what are you majoring in? for curiosity's sake.

[physix]

Scientific engineering. You could be in my class for all I know.

Tell me what you're taking.

[impulsives]

mechanical engineering, so i guess we definitely could've shared some classes, yeah.

well, i'll keep an eye for you in campus then.

[physix]

Of course. You're welcome to ask me for help on assignments.

I don't know the mechanical side of things, but science is science.

[impulsives]

yep. i mean i don't suck at the actual projects, it's just learning them that's my problem

a chain mail involving an app that might be malware... man, what an age we live in. also nah i think i'd pass to those kind of meetings.

[explodosafe]

Same here. But hey, at least it's not the Red Room all over again!

[impulsives]

yeah, that'd be something else i don't want to touch on man. still, it's kind of weird that this app also does something else besides being an undelete-able piece of crap.

like making you remember about horses for one.

[explodosafe]

Don't remind me. I'm still confused as shit about that one.

Though I can't tell what's worse, having thought that chickens are the legit replacement for them or that I suddenly remember them being NOT.

[impulsives]

yeah, it was definitely a trippy realization for me.

[explodosafe]

The fruit thing too... Did YOU eat the ones with faces before? Because I never managed to do that, the idea of biting off faces was just too weird! As if I'm some evil monster that's scarfing down the poor sobs who came to slay it.

I mean, it's the internet. Surely it wouldn't be that hard to get a shitton of trolls in one place, right?

[frostythehitman]

Sure, why not. Just send him to 4chan or any of those weirdly specific groups that still use those ancient forums.

Just outsource the trolls and pawn Jim off on them. Let him terrorize them with some crappy app.

[impulsives]

they get to troll jim, and jim gets them to suffer with retrospec, i'd say that's a damn win in my book lol

[frostythehitman]

Now we just have to figure out how to lure him in.

You think he's dumb enough to fall for one of those scam emails?
