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.

Sure. It's 1234567890

[testgasm]

Should've stopped at 9. You've got one extra number in there.

[explodosafe]

Oops. Would you have bought it if I did?

[testgasm]

Probably not, no. Good effort.

[explodosafe]

Thanks. I live to please.

Are you really a hacker?

[testgasm]

I'm a programmer, actually, but I can potentially dabble. In hacking. If the situation calls for it.

[explodosafe]

Both are pretty much the same from a technical POV, right? It's the same kind of skillset, just the uses are what makes it different.

I'm sure you can do it! b^o^b

[testgasm]

Sort of. I try not to do the hacking thing so much because it is often. Illegal.

But thanks for the vote of confidence, mate.

[explodosafe]

Anytime. We're now stuck in this together, so we got to work together to get all out safe and in one piece too, right? If you need help don't hesitate to ask me for it!

And I don't care about legal or illegal that much. As a real man I won't let something that shallow influence my values.

[testgasm]

Very kind of you. I’m Wheatley, by the way. Not that introductions really matter, because you can see my name attached to everything I’m typing, but it’s the principle of the thing.

Honestly, given what’s going on, I’m not terribly concerned about what’s legal and what isn’t. Retrospec was illegal first. Anything we do in response is just retribution.

[explodosafe]

Cutter. Don't mind the name this thing signed me up with here, it's either made up or not relevant since years anyway.

And I like your way of thinking! It'd be best if we didn't have to lower ourselves to using their methods as well, but if they wanna dance that badly then meeting them on an even playing field is the next-manly thing to do!

[testgasm]

No, I figure that in most cases, the names displayed here aren't what everyone wants to go by. Can we change them, at all?

Right? They've given us no choice.

[explodosafe]

Not on this thing here, I think. Unless you figure out a way to do so, which'd be awesome!

I can always call you by whatever nickname you want in my mind and RL, tho.

Exactly! Let's find them and show them who's boss!

[testgasm]

I'll look into it. Has to be some way to work my way in there and change it.

Will keep you posted, if that's the case.

[explodosafe]

Thanks. I guess you know how to contact me with this thing?

[testgasm]

Is there a trick to it?

[explodosafe]

That's what I'm wondering. Otherwise I'll either have to give you my number or find you again on my own.

[testgasm]

Oh, I thought you knew, sorry. Well, you can have my number if you need it. That's no problem at all.

[explodosafe]

Nah, sorry. I'm totally new at this.

that'd be neat

[testgasm]

Right, it’s [NUMBER]. Feel free to drop me a line whenever.

[explodosafe]

Alright! I'll get back to you once I know something new or within a month, whatever happens first!
