[recollecters]

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.

Uhhhhhhhhh what

jkghkjfhkf UNSUBSCRIBE

UNSUSCBRBE!!

!!!!!

I am, yes! It's very pretty in the summer but it can get boring after a while, haha.

Hmm, so you guys remembered things being "right" (horses) and then one day they changed to "wrong" (chocobos)? Because I remembered things being "right" (chocobos) and then one day REALIZED that they were actually wrong. I think.

This is confusing.

[notyourutopian]

Right.
Well, those of us that were in the first...I guess round? of people they added to the app.

Everyone since then has done it the way you have.

It will not stop being confusing, sorry.

[skald]

Ahh, interesting. That's so strange. How many times have they added new people like this? Is it usually a lot all at once?

[skald]

[from here!]

That is... still a lot of creepy stuff. I mean if they know our secrets, doesn't that mean they've been stalking us for a while?

[godcards]

Most likely. There just wasn't any solid proof before this.

[skald]

Well, great. So we're all stuck with a creepy virus/social media app run by a group (?) of actual confirmed stalkers. Am I missing anything?

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara I am pretty sure that doesn't work :\

[skald]

Tuuri Hotakainen Well I can say it hasn't worked yet, but I really don't want to give up hope

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara anyway wouldn't unsubscribing just mean they don't send you the pictures?
it wouldn't make your designated stalker stop taking them, necessarily.

[skald]

[from here!]

Heehee! That's so cute! :3 Do you have a kitty?

But okay! I will definitely email you if I find a way to get rid of this thing!

[destiny_key]

i do!!! his name is meowwow lol
ive had him forever so when i turned twelve i named my email after him

[skald]

Awwww that's so cute! Do you have a picture? I love cats but I don't have any :(

[skald]

So far I've only received ones of me walking around in a crowd. I feel kind of unsafe if someone's doing it in class.

Do you think we should make a complaint to the university's public safety? Isn't this harassment?

[thesettingsun]

That's probably a good idea... We should see how many of us have gotten pictures taken from in the university and where, so they have as much info to work with as they can.

[skald]

Definitely. I think they'd have a better time of figuring out who it is before the police do? Just because the university has so much less space to search than the city.

[skald]

Thank you for saying that so I don't have to consider trying a system wipe, I guess

But that means this app has access to everything on my laptop?? What if they download more weird things? Or turn on the webcam or something? I heard that can happen if you get a virus!

[legne]

I am afraid Retrospec has already jinxed its users in a variety of unhelpful ways. Its foul deeds include using the victim's mobile telephone to play requiems and concertos at inopportune times, and sending bloody tales to others without their consent. Not to mention the disputed links to certain physical changes.

And yet, there has been no hubbub - no rioting in the streets. Perhaps the latest reports of candid photographs from behind will change that, but for now, the mystery continues...

[skald]

I think I understand what the first two mean (the phone plays music and sends scary stories?) but what do you mean "physical changes"?

[skald]

[from here!]

Wait, isn't that from a video game? What does that do?

[the joke


tuuri's head]

[explodosafe]

Why don't you just try it out and see?

But I don't think that getting rid of the app will also help you to get rid of our stalker. That'd be a bit too easy for the seeming scale of this thing.

[skald]

[from here!]

Well, in that case, here is a Finnish word for you: kalsarikännit. It's when you get drunk at home in your underwear. It might be nice to have a break for a night, haha!

But seriously, I think what you do is very important, and I'm sorry if people have given you a hard time.

[flowrite]

...that is the best, most useful word ever. I love your language already (◕▿◕✿)

Aw, thank you! and it's fine really. I understand why some people get frustrated with us, we're usually stretched so thin it's hard to believe we're doing as much as we should be.

[skald]

[continued from here!]

Well, I guess that saves me from having to try that next... What else could it be? NO? NO THANK YOU? EXIT? QUIT?

Thank you ^^; I'm new to the overflow concept

[bitemefightme]

Uhh.... always worth a shot, I guess. I don't think it'd do much good.

[He's really not thrilled about this, either.]

I mean, if you have anything more productive than hoping to find this guy and beating him senseless, I'm open to suggestions.
