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. 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. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. 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. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

What's that old mantra from the detective novels? When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains must be the truth?

You have a point that it's worth considering, but it's also a bit out of my wheelhouse. I know computers but I'm no expert. I know about these things as far as information goes, but I don't know how to check them...

[oceanicbutterfly]

I guess it doesn't matter, ultimately. However it works, the fact is that it does, and we seem to be stuck with it for now.

[clear_eyes]

That would mean accepting we can't change it for the time being.

At least I know I can't. It's just, you read all these horror stories about privacy breaches on the internet, and you get worried about it happening to you.

[oceanicbutterfly]

If it's any comfort, if I was going to steal people's credit card information or whatever, I probably wouldn't target dozens of people all in the same area and make it really obvious to them that they'd been affected.

[clear_eyes]

That's what I told someone else. But that just makes it all the more baffling.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I guess we have to hope the beta is successful, then. If it isn't they'll probably just quietly pull the app and we'll never know.

Bring it on, then!

You'll just find out what the rest of us have!

[gemgineer]

what's that? cloditis?

[clear_eyes]

That you can't get rid of this thing.

[gemgineer]

HA
i'd never admit defeat so early!

[clear_eyes]

Uh huh. So when do you think you'll have it taken care of then?

pretend i didn't forget html in that last tag

[gemgineer]

i'll need no more than a week!
just you wait and see!

Except stacking bonuses are completely nullified by the innate ability of the Velocisniper Magiblaster archetype! Counteractive spell cards are their only hard counter!

[gemgineer]

that archetype is such a rare draw though
only a CLOD would count on something like that showing up in her hand!
someone like me, on the other hand, knows to stock up on Garglesnouted Venomummy archetypes to use more summoning spells!
who needs unlikely counters when you can summon??

[clear_eyes]

You're forgetting that they released support cards that allow you to play Velocisnipers directly from the deck! Venomummy isn't strong enough to counter it if one makes it onto the field first!

[gemgineer]

CLOD
playing with those OP support cards
i can't believe those are even allowed in tournaments
they COMPLETELY destroy the flow of gameplay
it's not how a PURIST plays

[clear_eyes]

You can't let yourself lose to a legal strategy! You have to be prepared! Come on! Using the purist excuse? You're better than that!

[That... was that a compliment? Maybe? It was sort of one.]

[gemgineer]

you really think so??

[ ...wait, what? ]

tch! i knew you admired my skill, no matter how much we might disagree on strategy!

I've done my best to avoid calling them magic. It's kind of upsetting, but I've been trying to calm down.

[digthefuzz]

well it's not like i mean it literally
technology's just so tricked out these days!
try to take a moment and breathe
i bet some egghead will figure out what's going on and a way to stop it from being so weird sooner or later!

[clear_eyes]

Tricked out. That did make me laugh a bit!

But I did see someone who seemed to have the right idea about most of this, which is encouraging. We'll see what happens.

[digthefuzz]

only time will tell! for now, let's just take it easy, man

and social it up!

[clear_eyes]

Ahahaha. Well, at least that's a bit easier than doing it face to face.

Not that I have a problem with that, mind you!

[Rachel, you're an awful liar.]

[digthefuzz]

[He does remember some awkwardness... but then again that's natural for fans, and he can't say that he was the paragon of acting normal at the time either.]

of course! same here
but networking's still better for breaking the ice

so with that aside, you been taking care of yourself?
