Polling the Masses?

Did anyone else receive a strange survey from Retrospec today, asking what we would most like to have brought back? I am being absolutely serious. I just received one from that morceau de merde, Jim. I cannot even begin to decide what to think about this. Are they polling us now? As if we have any say in the matter?

Viktor Nikiforov After this announcement, I'm inclined to think so too
Viktor Nikiforov Since it's impossible not to feel insulted when changes are announced in a mocking tone
Viktor Nikiforov Even the choice to pretend that this makes sense is being taken away
Viktor Nikiforov But why would they want us to look into this?
Viktor Nikiforov This is too elaborate for a social experiment

Viktor Nikiforov I could only vote for one thing, so I voted to have the color blue returned
Viktor Nikiforov I can't get used to having grey eyes

Chloe Bouchard I received two surveys, one on the back of the other, and voted for each color since blue was 'blacked out' the second time.
Chloe Bouchard I would say,
though, that Jim doesn't really care about the experiment if there is one.
Chloe Bouchard He seems to mostly be in this for his own entertainment.

Viktor Nikiforov He certainly comes across that way
Viktor Nikiforov I wonder if they (he??) really monitor every single one of us 24/7 or if they just want to make it seem like they do
Viktor Nikiforov I was of the opinion that the less we talked about this where they could read it, the better
Viktor Nikiforov But I'm not sure it matters anymore

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I believe that he wants us to think that he can, but it's just a sham.
Chloe Bouchard And obviously the less we use this to speak about them, the less they can see easily.
Chloe Bouchard But since he decided to send the survey, there's little harm in speaking about it publicly. He already knows.

Viktor Nikiforov Same as he knows about the subway incident
Viktor Nikiforov And wants us to keep an eye on the QR code for some reason
Viktor Nikiforov By the way, I was shown something like a point tracker when I voted
Viktor Nikiforov Did you see that too?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Exactly, these are things he knows of, and I'm sure he knows we're looking into him to some extent, so why be secret about that?
Chloe Bouchard I did see the tracker too, though it was impossible to really understand.
Chloe Bouchard I think it's still near the bottom either way.

Viktor Nikiforov It might make sense if we can compare between different timestamps and see whether it goes up or down
Viktor Nikiforov Or if it doesn't make sense at all, which wouldn't be surprising...
Viktor Nikiforov I didn't think of screencapping it, but I'll do it if it shows up again

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I didn't save the image, so I can't quite do that.
Chloe Bouchard I'm not sure it will be easy to track, but we can try if it happens agin.
Chloe Bouchard At the very least, we know to watch and others will too now.

[viktorymaker]

Viktor Nikiforov Absolutely! Let's all do our best.
Viktor Nikiforov By the way, it might be good to continue this conversation elsewhere at some point
Viktor Nikiforov (Hi, Jim! 💖)
Viktor Nikiforov Let me know if you're up to it and I can make the time for it

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard If you wish, I will be at the library this week after work, getting ready for college next semester.
Chloe Bouchard You can stop by and speak to me there anytime that you wish.
Chloe Bouchard Just send a text ahead of time.

[Admittedly, that wasn't why she was at the library this week, but she wasn't going to say that.]

Viktor Nikiforov Great! I was thinking of picking up a couple of books, so that's perfect for me
Viktor Nikiforov I'll be looking forward to meeting you in person, Chloe
Viktor Nikiforov Good luck with your studies! ✨
