Here! Here!

A hearty thanks to all the people behind the scenes who are making this the most enjoyable immersive experience I’ve ever been a part of! We appreciate everything you’ve been doing.

FYI, the letters in the note were 2428698. That’s one area code shy of a phone number.

Regardless of what Tension stuff my happen during your visit, we should get a group together to hang out while you’re here, @Megan

Half the fun has been our outside-the-event meet ups!

Huzzah to Neil and Mike! Well said, gents!

Everyone has a different _path and you never know what will happen at any moment.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

To recap:

– Russell and three others I have never met were at the special event on Saturday that the rest of us weren’t.
– Mike, Melissa, and Sean were promoted to special positions within the OOA.
– Countless others were at the library consultation, which many of us weren’t invited to.

So to say that only “industry” people are getting the “good stuff” is kind of absurd.
I know it’s frustrating when you feel like you’re raising your hand in the middle of the classroom with 50 other students, screaming “Pick me! Pick me!” and you don’t feel that has happened yet. There are probably others who feel the same about you (you were, after all, invited Sunday’s event when others were not).

If it makes you angry that someone experienced something different than you, then tough break – That’s Tension for you. I heard mostly radio silence for the month of April, so I know what it’s like to feel like nothing is happening. Relax. Breathe. Be patient. As GK4 said, this is just the warm-up.

Now let’s drop this drama and get back to having fun.

Those of us who were there at the beginning are experiencing some extra things that correlate to what happened to us at the first consultation back in February. That said, aside from getting yanked upstairs at the end of the mixer event (which several other original members were as well), my experience over the last few months hasn’t differed that much from you guys. There are plenty of long stretches where nothing happens to me and I get a little antsy. I certainly don’t think I’m being raised on some sort of pedestal or given special privilege by Tension. I don’t think Mike, Sean and Melissa – all of whom are “advancing” through the OOA ranks over all of us – would say the same thing.

If GK4 were here, I’m sure she would deliver one of her patented sarcastic rants right about now. But since we appear to only be at the halfway point towards the main event, my advice would be to wait, observe and be active. Cause there’s a method to this madness and you never know what the hell this thing has planned for you.

Wow, some tin foil hat stuff flying around in here.
No conspiracy to be found here. Buz and I took all side streets and broke a few speeding laws and wound up there very fast.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

The power of Waze and fast driving, my friend.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

Listening to it again, he could’ve said “you” instead of “he” but that word was hard to make out.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

Maybe it’s because of my handsomeness? 😉

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

“He” could refer to @thebuz. Or it could refer to one of the people I was recording the TALES OF HALLOWEEN commentary with when the call came in.

As for “they” – I have no clue.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

@111_error: Yesterday was just dumb luck that @thebuz and I were driving around when the Periscope thing happened. We just happened to get there first.

As for all the other attention I’ve been getting from the OOA…I honestly can’t say. But I was one of the original people who signed up on the website and was at the first consultations (it should be noted that the OOA contacted me about Tension out of the blue…I had never heard about it before). I was also informed by Jenna during my clandestine park meeting that she saw a few photos from the elders of the Institute. They told her that “these people were very important” and one was of me.

As much as we’re in this together, each of us have a different path and I have no greater theories on the “hows” and “whys” beyond who gets chosen for what. Obviously I’ve been the subject of suspicion from virtually everyone since the forums opened – so I can’t say or do anything without people thinking me suspect. But at the end of the day, does anyone REALLY trust anyone here? These forums are an integral part of where the “tension” comes from, and the OOA have done a masterful job sewing seeds of distrust.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

Certain people were given numbers when they received their confirmation calls last week. We never did get to the bottom of that, did we?

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

@daela I read it as my choice HAVE rippled things. The expression sounded like “Do you think your choices would not have ripple effects?”

I know the OOA has been watching me closely since February, so that wasn’t a revelation. But is this someone different? Someone new to the OOA? III? Or maybe it was Sentinel who was watching?

Questions, questions…but I have a feeling that we will have answers… Along with more questions. 😉

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

From my conversation with Aleister…

Me: “I eagerly await what the ripple effect will be. Let me know if you need anything else from me. In the meantime, I will be watching out…

Aleister: “Andrew, I would WATCH IN
as in, from within”

From within…our group?
