It has been said that Anoch talked directly to the gatekeepers (although III has stated this hasn’t been the case for some time). I guess the clue is in their title. They are like the prophets of the Old Testament, receiving Anoch’s instructions and passing them on to the followers. I feel the gatekeepers have given in to the desire for power and have lost that connection with Anoch. Either Anoch is talking to them and they are not listening. Or Anoch is unhappy with them and is waiting for a true prophet to rise again.

@thegilded The thought that Gatekeeper 1 could be one or all of you guys* literally gave me the shivers…

*I say you guys rather than us, because we all know I don’t get to Ascend

@mkarrett Bwahaha! I sometimes forget I’m amongst people not yet used to my dark sense of humour… SORRYNOTSORRY 😉

@thegilded Way to make it even more twisted. I love it! 😛

@mkarrett

Now I’m imagining @thebuz serenading @gatekeeper3 with:

III, a girl like you needs somethin’ real
Wanna get you somethin’ from the heart
Somethin’ special girl
It’s Four’s head in a box, Four’s head in a box babe
It’s Four’s head in a box, Four’s head in a box girl
See I’m wise enough to know when a gift needs givin’ (yeah)
And I got just the one, somethin’ to show ya that you are second to none

[BlondieParticipant]

I hope it’s not Four in there…

*sets off the HEAD IN A BOX klaxon*

@coryphella You are so right; love him or hate him, you can’t deny @gatekeeper3 is most certainly “interesting”… I mean, if you put aside the whole murdering/torturing people thing, I’m starting to find him quite endearing…

[BlondieParticipant]

@mike I actually squeeee-ed when I just saw the picture and shouted “it’s the helmet!” Great minds think alike 😉

[BlondieParticipant]

On that note: “Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.”

[BlondieParticipant]

@thegilded Thank you for such an eloquent explanation of your position. I didn’t realise that your post was coming from a place of confusion, but now I completely understand your position and your anger.

[BlondieParticipant]

@thegilded I totally get where you’re coming from, and you know, it must be all nice and cosy being so sure. However:

1) I certainly don’t think it’s an issue of not caring enough – if they/we didn’t care, they/we would have simply buggered off by now…
2) I have spent hours and days and days and hours studying this damn situation from every possible angle so it’s not a matter of being wilfully ignorant. For some of us, the information just *isn’t* there to make an informed choice. The OOA and BOS are meant to be mysterious and unknown, and this requires a leap of faith that clearly some aren’t ready to take. People need time, not self-righteous indignation – the time will come when they *have* to pick a side and they either will, or they won’t. By that point, you will be far too busy with your own battles to notice. Also, with gatekeepers switching sides and going on murderous rampages, it makes you reconsider things when a side allies with them. I mean, if the OOA claim Addison, I honestly don’t know what I will do, because I just *can’t*…
3) And finally, I am unworthy – I’ve been told I’ll be the only one left. But throwing Ascension back into people’s faces like that when they voice legitimate concerns is only going to alienate them further. If people are on the fence, don’t you think you, as a Sentry acting on behalf of the council, should be encouraging people over onto your side rather than throwing rocks at their heads?

[BlondieParticipant]

@electrichippo I always give credit where it’s due and you’re a strong, courageous woman who stands by her convictions while remaining compassionate and I admire that. The BOS are lucky to have you

[BlondieParticipant]

Bwahaha, glad you’ve retained your sense of humour @electrichippo! Throwing my “I’m glad you’re ok” into the mix

[BlondieParticipant]

@mike

@111_error Sides are not important in situations such as these. People are important, especially people who show compassion to members of a community. I like Kim
