Hey everybody,

So I have spent like two hours trying to type up some sort of response and it just winds up horribly worded. So I’ll just keep it brief:

First I’m really overwhelmed by the amount of Slackers that thought Slack was a positive thing. Holy crap, thank you.

Second what I’m about to say is being said out of love and I’m trying to be constructive. I’m not mad while writing this. I had a lot of hours today to cool off and I appreciate @thegilded stepping in and helping me out being my tact because earlier I was FURIOUS at the totality of the situation.

I thought Slack would have been a nice little community to have to exchange ideas and hash out the more insane theories before we clog them up on the Tension forum. For the most part Slack was great, until someone screwed up and crossed line that shouldn’t have been crossed. To boot, I totally missed it because it was in a channel I was not even part of and I was having fun with my out of town friend.

Sorry ~four that you despise closed door conversations but they happen even with Slack now history (all accounts were suspended at 1pm today). That can’t be stopped, or helped. I can’t speak on behalf of everybody here but I for one am not afraid of having the more nutty ideas here on the forum. You have to be prepared to hear it ALL including the more wild accusations of who is a fake, who is Anoch, what’s going to happen next weekend, etc. etc. Slack did serve on occasion a pretty good way of weeding out the more insane ideas. Also Slack had a ton of kitty photos, more than I desired, I took that cat pic bullet for you @gatekeeper4.

And considering the emphasis time and time again about community, the notion of shutting down one seems like a contradiction. BUT I get it that you want our ideas to come here to the forum so that all members can get a better sense of what the hell is going on here with Tension.

I get that, 100%.

While I tried my best to have ideas in Slack migrate over to the forum, I can’t hold everybody’s hand. I well strive to be a better advocate in the future to have ideas go to forum, if I happen to hear one that’s not here on the forum.

So in closing the way I see it is that it’s a disservice for Tension community to have closed door conversations. If there’s an idea then it should go here right on the forum for all to see. On the flip side it’s also a disservice to us to be told what we initiates/apostles can’t use as a means of communication. We are a community and I for one miss my Slacker friends and our discussions of taco bell (which is terrible), dick jokes, @111error completely off the wall humor (love) and yes all the pet photos. I’m hearing “Friends Will Be Friends”* right now in my head. <3

Will I have an avenue that basically says “all Tension conversations, come here”? Noooooope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Instafart btw, hilarious. pptt pttt pttttttf ha ha ha, my sense of humor ceased at the age of six.

I’m going to bed, I had enough of drama too. Tomorrow is yet another day to find ways to WIND THE CLOCK.

*oh, and for you youngin’ that have no idea about that song, it’s by one of the best freakin’ bands. Ever.

[MelissaModerator]

pfffft oh man I picked a bad date. I’ll rethink this a bit.

[MelissaModerator]

gah, I forgot about Fringe!

[MelissaModerator]

(facepalm) no Addison unfortunately this thread is not about you. I meant Attendant I!

[MelissaModerator]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW DOES THIS NOT WIND THE CLOCK!? 😉

[MelissaModerator]

bwahahahaha Susie!!!

[MelissaModerator]

….wait what you don’t amuse me, you scare the shit out of me sometimes to be frank. But hey if I amuse you, I do what I can.

[MelissaModerator]

That really awkward moment when you ban someone from OOA off slack by channeling Gandalf….

….this lovely desk looks great to hide under for a few hours. (head in hands)

[MelissaModerator]

So, I don’t think it’s impossible but let’s think about Addison. She’s young, probably at most in her early twenties? If that assumption is correct then that would make her born early to mid 1990s, right? I looked at the ViewFinder briefly and thought those photos were a little more dated than Addison’s potential birth year. Again though, I’m assuming being right about Addison being quite young. Want to hear your thoughts on this one, please.

@reaton, thanks for being so forward with this! I didn’t want to reveal how upset you looked/my brief “hey are you ok?” after the meeting because I pretty much could see it on your face that something was going on. Don’t be too hard on yourself, I feel like there is never the correct answer for anything.

The other candy if I’m not mistaken are called Dots.

1. Did anyone do any research on the location (if this is even allowed)?
*No

Does anyone know who the building is owned by, if it’s being rented, the age of the building, the last time it was brought up to code?
*It’s the VFW in Sun Valley.

Is it the same address or near the same address as the last event?
*Not that I’m aware of.

2. @atticus360, did you ask for Cello girl’s name and she refused to give it to you, or did she just say something when you walked up to avoid that question altogether? Was she wearing a nametag? Did anyone else attempt to talk to her? Where did she go after she finished playing on stage?
*N/A for me!

3. Besides @atticus360 and @mkarrett, did anyone else attending the event not get their names X-ed out?
*Dunno.

4. Out of curiousity, how many of you were told to tell lies (like @halfgreekgoddess) and how many were told to tell truths/secrets (like @monkeymuffin333)? Might be an interesting comparison.
I was not told to tell lies/truths.

5. This is going to sound completely random, but did anyone catch the name of the girl in the Pastor joke? Many remember the cars, and you’ve said she’s 16. But when the man told the joke, did he mention the girl’s name?
*I didn’t catch a name, I don’t think it was given. I do remember energetic guy saying the girl was on the side of the road, wearing tie dye and having no underwear or bra.

Just some inquiries. Let me know if you can. It was fun reading about the event in such detail from so many different perspectives. You all sound like such lovely folks! Thank you for your time.

@thebuz: thank you so much for your diligence! The book that was left behind, does Spiritualism in the Light of Occult Science ring a bell?
