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.

We are! And I don't really like losing.

A blog, huh? Well, that's something, at least. I don't know, I never really got into blogging, and now I have to manage my social media presence closely enough that it'd never work. It sounds like fun sometimes, though.

Social media can definitely be fun...! But I know what you mean. Even I don't put my real name or any pictures up on my blog. I just want to use the pictures for facebook and stuff.

[rosettareflected]

Mm, that's sensible internet safety. When everyone isn't already aware who you are, at least. I'm certain the pictures will be good for that much.

Of course, Retrospec has your real name, so it doesn't necessarily count all the time, but it's a private network, in some senses.

[frilly]

I guess the up side of that is that no one can really have a secret identity? They can see my name, but I can see theirs, you know?

[rosettareflected]

Or they can, but it has to not be the one they have here. I don't know, it seems... good, but not foolproof?

[frilly]

Oh... That's true.

But it's hard to imagine the stuff from this app being useful for anything... Nefarious.

[rosettareflected]

Well, we could extrapolate where you go to school from those pictures, and the kinds of things in your room, the clothes you wear, where you live based on the houses around you... And that's just from this time. The prior incidents illustrated what could happen with quite a lot of clarity.

[frilly]

The people using the app aren't bad people though, right?

I mean, maybe the people who made it, but...
