QUESTIONS, AND ANSWERS

Okay everyone – let’s start coming up with questions. I think we need a leader first who is responsible for posting the questions in the new thread when it is ready. Is it okay if we use this particular forum to discuss the questions to be asked? (Not one of the questions I want to ask)

As for a leader to do so I vote for @thegilded since Sean is incredibly active on these forums and knows his way around them and will be able to handle the influx I am sure we will see. Or @mike since he is the scribe and all.

My question is: How can I have such a massive crush on III already?

I vote for @thegilded also as long as he is amenable.

Now as for questions I have I know 242 is ringing through my head like none other. Another is the significance of 8. I think knowing how Gatekeepers get their ranking can be very helpful in finding out what happened to 4 and 5 and potentially Addison. What do you all think?

I’m totally cool with @thegilded or @mike presenting the questions.

Let’s get brainstormin’!!!

Yup

Another question: Why did 4 leave earlier than planned?

Personally, I would like to get some clarification on L2D’s “wind the clock” riddle.

Also would be great to know if there are any unsolved puzzles/links/clues that are lurking that we haven’t discovered.

Here are some topics
– the numbers and what they mean
– the order of the Gatekeepers (did they start 242?)
– what happened to Addison
– what happened to GK4
– what happened to Overseer
– how many of “our” years equals one of their “new dusk”

As for me, I want to know where overseer went, I’m still incredibly butt hurt that 3 just straight destroyed overseer

What do the numbers mean that people got in phone calls?

Who is a plant?

Aww shucks to the lot of you. Your faith in me and @mike is as touching as it is misplaced.

We have until 5pm tomorrow and this is not an opportunity we often get, so we should take our time in coming up with these things. I’d argue that for right now, we should just compile all questions that anyone is interested in, so that we can trim down the list later. As of this post, the current questions are as follows:

1. What is the significance of 242?
2. What is the significance of 8?
3. How do Gatekeepers get their ranking?

My additions to the list:
4. Is the purpose of the forum to speak of all Tension related topics or only things that the OOA would approve of?
5. What exactly is Light2Dark’s role?
6. What does the Dusk/Dawn refer to?
7. What is the current, complete OOA organization structure?
8. What are the tickets going on sale soon going to get us admittance to?

Updated:
9. What are the numbers (since nobody knows) and their meaning?
10. Who is a plant?
11. What do the numbers mean that people got in phone calls?
12. What unsolved puzzles/Links/Clues have we not found?
13. Why did 4 leave earlier than planned?
14. What does “Wind the clock” refer to?
15. the numbers and what they mean
16. the order of the Gatekeepers (did they start 242?)
17. what happened to Addison
18. what happened to GK4
19. what happened to Overseer
20. how many of “our” years equals one of their “new dusk”

Another thing I think we have to keep in mind is that so far, III has not been talkative. He hasn’t given us more than a few sentences at a time like GK5 and 4 have. I feel like whatever ask needs to be simple to answer, but also a question that a simple answer will help us rather than confuse us or need more to. I could see something like..”What happened to so and so” – “nothing” or something like that.

– Who was Anoch (242)?
– What is the OOA’s goal?
– Who are the Elders?
– How long has the OOA been around?
– What do the crossing out of members’ pictures/names mean?
– What did @light2dark mean when he said “wind the clock?”
– How many Gatekeepers have there been?
– What happened to Bob Jones?
– What did Addison mean when she said “I’m ready?”

I would also like to know the person who saw @thebuz and I get the letter and says he’s watching me, but that’s more self-serving.

We also should very SPECIFIC with our questions, so we can minimize vague responses.

I’m expecting vague, short as heck answers from III but here goes…

When will we see the OOA again?
When will @mike be enlightened? What does it entail? What happens after?
What the f*** does winding the clock entail?
What does “we are not who you think we are” mean?
Who can be trusted?
Will artists ever get recognized in the OOA? (lol)

I also heartily recommend an answer “lock” make 2 important questions similar so they cant dodge it.

I think a yes/no format might be most effective.

Finding out what sins Addison committed against the OOA and where is she now? Those have been eating at my brain since our last event.

All good questions guys! I think with some of them we have to figure out how we would answer them. Such as “who to trust?” they would say something along the lines of trust yourself and your judgement. Ya know thats a vague short answer but tells us what we already know. They won’t tell us who to trust we have to figure that out ourselves.

I’d argue that we should focus more on who the OOA is rather than recent events. Knowing what happened to Addison or 4, for example, seems less important than getting a glimpse into the machinations of the Institute

What about questions that ask for where we should be looking, or what are we missing? I frequently feel at a loss as to what the fuck our next steps are supposed to be, while they talk about missing pieces and clues. Maybe getting help in filling some of those in?

Dang, you guys have nailed down some serious thoughts I’ve been having for a while. At this time I can’t really think of any questions that haven’t been covered here.

I think the question that I’d like to see answered was the #7 on @TheGuilded’s thread:

“What is the current, complete OOA organization structure?”

Would it make sense to ask about the older Facebook video where we never used the second set of numbers? Not sure what the specific question would be. Do the numbers lead anywhere new? Can they be used to unlock something?

Also knowing what puzzles are unsolved would be cool to know.

I agree on so many of these! Ha! Personally, I don’t think a question about the ranking/structure of the organization may even be addressed. They have left it all vague so far, even as we interact with the folks, I feel it may not be useful to ask for a clarification they so obviously are not interested in giving. (On the other hand, now may be the only moment to ask for clarity, I see both sides.)

What about a specific question about the origins (and purpose?) of Sentinel or Brothers of Seraph?

I truly care about the fate of Addison… but I believe we will learn that eventually, may even meet her again. I hope that is the situation. I don’t feel that is one of the more important issues right now. Although, I am extremely curious.

I like the idea of asking about the purpose of the Forums, I believe that confusion… plus the infamous Banhammaring of some has led people to be less open due to simple fear.
So… Is the purpose of the forum to speak of all Tension related topics or only things that the OOA would approve of?

Other potentials I agree most with from above posts…
What does “Wind the clock” refer to?
What do the numbers mean that people got in phone calls?

One question that’s bugged me for a little while – we all have our own paths, and I’m assuming those within the OOA have had paths, and are likely on their paths as well.

In regards to our paths – what is our destination as desired by the OOA?

I’m a fan of learning about the organizational structure, any missing pieces and what is expected of the forums (OOA, Tension?). I think it would be cool if they answered 2 and threw in that last one for good measure since III thinks we’re nice. 😉

ASK ABOUT THE FREAKING PERISCOPE.

Hey guys, I went through and tried to combine the questions that were similar and then made a tally based on if someone had the same question or said they agreed with it. The top 3 right now are

What have we not found (clues, links, puzzles) – 7
What is the OOA org structure – 6

Freaking Periscope?

Thanks to @mike for consolidating these. My vote goes to the top 3, but I’m concerned that the question “What have we not found” is going to be too open ended and too unlikely to be answered.

While we can try for it, it may be a better idea to ask “Can you explain to us something we’ve missed?” The potential payout is a much lower amount of information, but the chances of receiving a direct answer is higher

I agree also

How are these rewords? I know these aren’t questions, but I don’t want to be tricked by asking and getting a yes or no answer. On second thought, it’s all tone right? So I put a question mark on it but it has to be read with the end of the sentence being in a higher pitched voice

Please explain to us clues/links/puzzles we have missed?
Please explain to us what the OOA organization structure is?
Please explain the significance of the numbers that you are giving us, specifically 242 and 8 from the found letter and the numbers mentioned in some phone calls?

Thank you @mike for compiling this list together, it really helps us out in having one voice in this together. I agree with the top 3 questions to be asked of from the OOA.

Im in for to 3 as well.

I think mike hit the nail on the head with those questions .
The ranking system for the gatekeepers might also answer other questions to for us.
And the puzzle question is also a great question and would point people in the right direction incase they missed something and might cause them to find something someone missed clue wise

I also agree with the questions, especially since postings seem to keep indicating we have missed something, but nothing seems apparent to anyone. Perhaps the numbers in the phone calls are actually part of that mystery.

Ideally, we should have our questions locked down by 4pm, to allow for a margin of error.

There is some conversation still happening, but it seems that the questions @mike has put up are the ones that we, as a whole, are mostly leaning towards.

Given the recent discussion, does anyone want to alter or replace any of the 3 we currently have?

@thegilded – should a new thread be made at that time? That way it’s nice and clean for III and the OOA Guide to see and to answer?

It’s up. Here’s hoping we get something good

Also, don’t post there until after the OOA does. Lets keep their response high up in the thread
