THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMELINE AND A ROUGH LOOK AT THE SERIES OF EVENTS:
1. People receive emails.
2. People are contacted and assigned a time for consultations.
3. People are called out on FB (Neil King) as detractors, and edited videos are posted showing Sean Decker and Rob Jones proclaiming their allegiance to the org. Neil King claims a video was taken of him too, but it is not posted.
4. A reporter sends emails indicating a history of fraud and manipulation (via Rob Jones to participants).
5. There are reports of a woman named Jenna warning participants. (This may be the same girl who ran screaming during [later] consultations.)
6. GateKeeper5 (GK5) is introduced and urges congregants to find their center.
7. A newsletter is posted on FB. It looks normal enough. It shows the org welcoming ADDISON BARROWS, as well as someone named James Luther.
8. The Rosemary Luther vid happens. (A woman is seen blinding herself, and “finding her sight.”)
9. The Omega Council (who I interpret as the OSDM) become a thing. Detractors are to be reported.
10. GK5 resigns because he feels the chapter is beyond hope and calls for it to be disbanded. He warns us to notice how easy it was to disrupt our community. He tells us 4 is awoken.
11. Mike becomes scribe.
12. Sites are hacked by BOS stating their mission to expose the OOA.
13. Consultations happen.
14. GK4 stirs the pot with a FB post, establishing her “voice.” Satirically, she begs for people’s validation through likes. She also posts a new newsletter – edited in sharpie. At the top a hang man game is nearly finished. The answer is Bob Jones.
15. Addison is brought up in the forum by someone named “Benny” (Mark- her ex) and GK4 responds in a spiteful way.
16. Sentries are appointed – Melissa and Sean.
17. GK4 bans Sean Decker, after he attempts an interview instigated by the OOA.
18. GK4 asks us WHY ARE YOU HERE? in a new FB video. (A recording we hear used again later, during THE ONE)
19. A scheduled meeting with the OOA is intercepted, and four participants are kidnapped by the BOS- who brings them to a hotel to meet Addy’s parents. Her parents show them a photo of a pretty blonde girl. They say she used to post about kittens, and they knew something was wrong when she stopped. They said she wanted to be an actress, so she came to Hollywood where she met a boy who led her to this cult, that’s taken their daughter away from them. They do not like this guy… Benny, or whatever his name is. The meeting ends and they are to leave through a back stairwell. In the foyer of this hotel, Tom (Addy’s presumed father) takes Russel aside and gives him a stuffed animal. Tom asks Russel to show it to Addison, if he ever gets the chance. It was hers. The stuffed cat is from henceforth referred to as “The Bear.”
20. The next day, an event at a VFW occurs. A group of participants meet Addy and she gives them each a rose. They enter the hall and find an old dancing man, a strange women, and other such characters to mingle with. One by one, certain of them are individually brought to a room where a hood and helmet are placed over their heads while they are interrogated by GK4. The group convenes, Leaders make a speech, a member of the community is restored. A cello plays ominous music, another speech is made: Addy is to be punished for some sins she has committed against the OOA. As she is about to disrobe, her presumed father rushes in and disrupts the event. Security ram him in to the wall, leaving a head sized hole. Leaders announce the venue compromised, and give instructions to wait until they are gone to leave. Andrew is taken upstairs for a few minutes and instructed to inform the others it is time to leave.
21. Periscopes begins to broadcast. A series of show Addison in distress. She is seen marking out faces in photos, placing those photos in an envelope, drawing a symbol in blood, then throwing the envelope into the flame while declaring to GK4 that she is ready.
22. GK4 flees with Addison. The are in hiding. GK3 is introduced. (IS Addison the overseer at this point? because he quickly blocks Masterlock… wasn’t that her as the overseer?)
23. We officially know 4 is on the run when a letter is dropped and found at a park. The letter states that 5 was the calm, and 4 is the chaos that reflects us. She alludes to people keeping things from others.
24. GK3 says he’ll answer 2 out of 3 questions. He does this by dropping 2 envelopes at Echo Park. The docs show the hierarchy and the origin of the Gatekeepers and Oracles.
25. Aleister Gordon calls and sets meetings with several participants. They meet at a seedy bar. While there, he requires the participant present to call another participant- supplying a script that warns the participant that things are not as they seem. He then explains that he had taken an acting job that consisted of him making increasingly disturbing calls. He puts a few participants through a test, they all seem to fail. They were to recruit the bartender, but none were willing. AG explains that there would have been a path to unlock had anyone succeeded. We are unaware of what this path could have been.
26. Forum members find AG on Facebook and discover that he has ties to Sentinel and BOS.
26. GK3 threatens AG on the forums, and AG isn’t heard from again.
27. Benny/Mark posts a message on the forum, pleading for help recovering Addison. He is met with derision. People don’t trust Benny/Mark. He shares a story of how they met at a museum in between castings. He was staring at a painting he couldn’t figure out when Addison walked up to him. She asked him about the painting and he launched in to an explanation about the artist, Carlos Merida (the last name may not be right, but it was Mer… something. that’s not the important part.). She humors him through his speech, until his finished. She points out that the artist he was referring to had actually been responsible for the painting to their left. He fell for her then and there. Whenever they were just trying to make sense of the world, they would look at each other and just say, “Carlos!” with a laugh. He urges anyone that sees her to try to wake her up with that word. People tell him that Addison would have reached out to him by now if she cared about him, but she hadn’t. Instead, she chose to reach out to other participants. The community takes this as a sign from Addison.
28. GK4 taunts him saying Addison never loved him and to get over it. GK3 posts a brochure that asks, “Does this look like a cult to you?” boasting the smiling faces of participants.
29. Tom calls Morgan and tells him that Benny/Mark has inflicted near fatal harm on himself by “accident.”
30. People postulate whether he had been distraught because of the lack of support he found on the forums causing him to become suicidal, or if this was a feeble attempt to draw Addison out.
31. GK3 demotes our scribe, Mark, appointing himself the position. The community is outraged.
32. GK4 posts a challenge via video, proclaiming her intents and assets. She says she will end GK3 with “her.”
33. People begin receiving spoofed calls. The caller ID not matching the voices/sounds on the other end.
34. Kansas City drop reveals an email between Sam Bickerson (OSDM) and the Clockmkers. It states their fear of “her,” the relocation of assets, and the beginning of “PLAN B.”
35. There is another drop in Sacramento. Morgan finds four yellow roses, a photo, and an audio file. Morgan shows us that GK4 has Addison, she is still in control, and (through his brilliant analysis), we discover the new math. 4-3=2, hidden in the audio file.
36. Sam Bickerson (OSDM) posts a copy of a letter on FB urging everyone to forget everything that had transpired. The “creators” had gone way off track. Readers are assured their experience is back on the right course, under new management. Zombies to follow.
37. Sam then announces an ASK me Anything to be held on the forums. During this time, it becomes apparent that he is part of the darkness.
38. GK3 reposts Sam’s letters to FB with a small edition: his mark (III) in what we presume to be blood. He also redacts the end. His caption to the post notes that he’s taken care of Sam and his captors. (Mwhahahahha)
39. A periscope shows Addison writing, “Who am I/II” over and over again until she is jolted by four. She then fills a capsule with a white substance, places it in a bottle, then puts it in a white package she hands to 4, who writes, FOUR my very best.
40. Kim is invited by GK3 to a lunch via e-vite.
41. Addison shows up at Derrick’s house, where the community is holding a gathering. She gives them 2 minutes to choose one person to accompany her. The group picks Lauren. She is taken in a vehicle, shown photos, told that they are victims of GK3, and handed the white package. She is made to promise she won’t open it, but told the choice is ultimately hers to choose what to do with it. She is returned to the gathering and discussion over the right path ensues. She decides to keep her promise to Addison about not opening the package. She chooses to deliver it to Kim, who is meeting with GK3 in the near future. Her alliance is hidden from the group (who assumes it is with them).
42. She gives the package to Kim during a secret meeting. In the vehicle, Lauren was instructed by Addison to persuade Kim to make the right choice. Kim was to use the pill to assassinate GK3.
42. Kim attends this meeting with GK3. She pretends to mix the solution in to his drink while he uses the restroom. The audience on periscope watch as GK3 returns then pretends to die. He asks if they bought it, laughing. Finally, he instructs Kim to show the camera the pill. She smiles wickedly and the broadcast ends.
43. GK4 and GK3 make plans to meet.
44. GK3 requests Kim’s presence.
45. Kim agrees and is taken to a warehouse, wearing a red hood, where she is greeted by GK4 and Addison. We know this because of a photo posted to Instagram. She is identified through her jewelry.
46. Later that (same) day, Addison meets Cody at a park. The event is periscoped. Addison is covered in blood. She’s shown attempting to wipe it off as Cody approaches her. She asks him if he knows what it means to be truly free. She then instructs him to watch a video on an iPad. She takes the camera away and begins to film him watching. We only see his reaction. She tells him it is up to him to do what he will with what he saw. A copy will be sent to his email.
47. Cody shares the video in a forum post. It shows Addison walking up behind GK4, who is chatting with Kim. Addison slits her throat with the same knife GK4 had handed her minutes earlier.
48. Addison introduces herself as GK2 on the forum and says change is imminent, and asks for patience. She appoints Russel as her scribe. There is some confusion as to Mike’s role. It seems was if Addison was trying to create a wedge between Mike and Russel. However, in the end, the friendship overcame the drama and all was well.
49. GK2 privately asks Buz if he would be willing to do what she’s done to GK4. He agrees.
50. Buz meets with GK3 and strangles him during a broadcast, shared with us by Sean (the gilded).
51. Community is split. People are upset at *witnessing the murders committed by Addison, and now Buz (a participant who is NOT a gamemnaker or plant).
52. GK2 is on the run. She is a true believer and she has the book (and the helmet?). She broadcasts lessons through Europe. She asks Regent 7 to let “her” die a hero. Community guess who “she” is.
53. SCARE_LA happens. An invitation only event is moderated by a fake blogger, and the “actors” can’t seem to decide if they are actually acting or not. A panel of participants are asked to share their experience (they were unprepared for this). Tom Barrows rushes in to the event, shouting about the OOA and it’s corruption. During his rant, a video begins. It states that the BOS has hijacked the event. It is revealed that Aleister Gordon is Ellis Gordon, an actor and shows his IMDB page. It warns the “real creators” to come out from behind the curtain. (Around this time, a separate OOG article appears crediting Bousman as creator).
54. Max is contacted by Regent 7. They meet at a library and he is given Addison’s diary. Regent 7 tells him it is his decision and to do with it as he will, but the book must be returned to Addison. Originally, Max was told he’d have 5 weeks until it was due back. He was given the wrong information, though, and only had 5 days. There was contention on the forum because of the confusion. This was resolved by Max posting the link to the full diary in a forum post.
55. Within the diary, we learn that GK4 was abusive toward Addison. She had dark plans for those of us already involved with the OOA. She intended to wipe us out for a fresh start.
56. A “stolen” email is sent by someone named Emily to KingKing33 (is that Neil?). It revealed the ODSM’s fear of Addison as a true believer. They were afraid she would bring forth THE ONE, and that she would share too much. This was not entirely new information, but to have it confirmed via a stolen piece of correspondence only solidified the fact.
57. Addison, as GK2, posts of the corruption within the OOA. She says their influence goes beyond world leaders. She says they are trying to kill her because she believes the One is among us. She says it’s not what they were expecting. She says they want to silence and destroy her because of this knowledge.
58. She summons all who wish to meet. She wishes to reveal THE ONE.
59. Participants, hooded, are taken to a warehouse. There Addison commends the most active members. After, she instructs them to remove their hoods. She tells them how their words have become the new gospel. They are all the one. Together, they are one. She makes this speech, the suddenly leaves the room. Waiters come with food and drink. It seems like it’s a normal mixer… maybe even the ending of indoctrination. The neat little bow. Rizzo is seen talking to Addison, once she returns to the room. Her face shifts, shed walks away from him, and you can see his shoulders drop. She continues to mingle until she gets toward the back of the room, near the light. Russel meets her there, pulls out the stuffed cat lovingly referred to as “the bear,” and shows it to Addison. She takes it, takes a couple steps back, and begins to yell. “You are all delusional. THIS, This is not real! Shit. I’ve got to get out of here. I’ve got to go home.” As the last words were leaving her mouth, all three waiters rushed and grabbed her. Carrying a screaming addison to an unseen place. Russell shouts, “NO, NO, LET HER GO!” The video cuts.
60. Ascension begins.
