Wow, Ascension ends on my birthday. Should I throw an OOA themed party? 😉

Super happy that it’s extending! They totally deserve it.

Also…did anyone see the phone number in that photograph? I have a hard time reading it…

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

I guess you’ll just have to go back and see, won’t you? 😉

I made a point of bringing this up to the OOA during my second Ascension last night. And boy, was I ever confronted about my concerns. Some there are more happy about it than others, but there seems to be a general trust towards the Overseer. I completely understand her thinking…even if I am deathly worried about where her idealism might lead.

I will say this: What happened last night has changed me. And no matter what comes next, whether we are torn back to different sides or united together, I want you all to know how appreciative I am to have shared this with each and every one of you.

That said, I would implore every single one of you to go back to Ascension. For God’s sake, go back.

Addison’s sudden alliance with top BOS members is something that deeply concerns me. Something is very amiss here and I plan on asking a lot of questions tonight.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

It easily could be some sort of confirmation that Bousman and Sears are simply tools used to advance the mission of the OOA.

This fits into what Jenna recently told me. Smoke and mirrors, people.

They asked me to call my wife…and to my utter horror, I didn’t know her number (I don’t know anyone’s number anymore thanks to the invention of the iPhone contact list). The OSDM guy totally let me have it, which I admittedly deserved.

The first thing I did when I got home was memorize her number. She was very grateful towards the OOA for that one.

After “Ascension Part Deux,” I can say that I understand the why but not the how behind Overseer taking @electrichippo under her wing. But like most of you (and certain members within the OOA) it’s still a giant head scratcher for me.

I supposedly have a meeting with a certain someone in my future. I’m curious what information will be gleaned from that.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

Here’s hoping. Because there are very few tickets left for these final two weekends and I have so many people have yet to experience it.
And after my second Ascension, I convinced all the newbies on the ride back to return for Round 2.

I’ve come to like Simon quite a lot.

Samson on the other hand… The one who I suspect is OSDM… He scares me.

I’m no stranger to this out of game conflict. I was viewed as a plant, an aggressor, a manipulator. It even felt like a lot of people hated me because of my actions. Distrust and accusations were leveled at me all the way up to Ascension. As someone who always tries to be accepted, that was a tough pill to swallow.

But I came out the other side not caring about that. And I feel that the majority of the community has the same mentality. The bottom line is we’re one giant dysfunctional religious family. And like any family, we fight like fucking bastards. There’s gonna be more of that no doubt. We’re an excitable bunch and Tension wouldn’t be Tension if it didn’t stir the hornet’s nest. But it all comes from a place of mutual passion.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

The only person who truly knows the Overseer is the Overseer herself. But I feel like I know more about her in the few hours we spent together than the last 9 months combined.

That said, I’ve learned some things that I won’t be afraid to use should things go South. We will see what happens. I’ve learned to stop trying to predict what Tension has in store for us and just go with whatever happens…

Even if I have to live with those consequences.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

Thank you for welcoming us in, @masterlock. Thank you for challenging and teaching me. And I’m truly sorry about what happened.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

I can’t say much right now. When Ascension is over, I will share what happened with anyone who wants to hear it.

I will say this: Ascension II made Ascension I feel like a leisurely stroll in the park.

There are several things that haunt me and it’s all I can think about today. One of them, involving someone else, has made me want to cry all morning.

I will also say that I believe Addison is more in control and more self aware then we realize. I believe our image of her as that scared, lost little girl that needs rescuing is somewhat wrong. But that doesn’t mean I’m not afraid for her.

As a parent of two girls, I am completely shocked and saddened by this news.
But as someone who shares your feelings about the current state of the OOA, I will do everything I can to get to the bottom of this. Rest assured, I have received word and plan on having a serious discussion with a certain someone tonight.

Team Fuck Everybody is looking better and better, I agree
But as for now, I think I’ll stay on “Team J” 😉
