It warms my heart the there is some contact from her. I still have the toy Tom gave me… I firmly believe that Addison is reaching out. But, obviously she cannot communicate directly. That means there is or will soon be more information from her. Let’s be watchful…

[RustyParticipant]

I am already here @mike. 😉 I have received the message.

[RustyParticipant]

I also had a photo of part of the space… no creepy people lurking around, though.

[RustyParticipant]

I also agree with the questions, especially since postings seem to keep indicating we have missed something, but nothing seems apparent to anyone. Perhaps the numbers in the phone calls are actually part of that mystery.

[RustyParticipant]

I agree on so many of these! Ha! Personally, I don’t think a question about the ranking/structure of the organization may even be addressed. They have left it all vague so far, even as we interact with the folks, I feel it may not be useful to ask for a clarification they so obviously are not interested in giving. (On the other hand, now may be the only moment to ask for clarity, I see both sides.)

What about a specific question about the origins (and purpose?) of Sentinel or Brothers of Seraph?

I truly care about the fate of Addison… but I believe we will learn that eventually, may even meet her again. I hope that is the situation. I don’t feel that is one of the more important issues right now. Although, I am extremely curious.

I like the idea of asking about the purpose of the Forums, I believe that confusion… plus the infamous Banhammaring of some has led people to be less open due to simple fear.
So… Is the purpose of the forum to speak of all Tension related topics or only things that the OOA would approve of?

Other potentials I agree most with from above posts…
What does “Wind the clock” refer to?
What do the numbers mean that people got in phone calls?

[RustyParticipant]

As usual, my insane schedule has left me in the place of playing catch-up. I am aware of the building tensions… and I have been absent as it seems to have exploded a bit. For that, I am grateful. If this “thing” that is the Tension experience begins to fragment actual friendships that have been in place for longer than my participation here… it is not worth my continuing. I realize I am echoing sentiments expressed already.

To be honest, I have already considered walking away due to something that was going on a couple weeks ago. But, civil communication and honesty worked that out and I decided to stay. Believe me, I have no issues with walking away. It would have saddened me, for sure, but friendships take priority. This is simply an addition to my life… a welcome, interesting, challenging addition, so far…

Right now, if I were new to this, I would be looking at a series of posts in theses forums of people tearing into each other, not supporting each other. Each step we take is individual, but we are a community, I hope.
It has been stressed we each are individuals, but a true community is something that supports the group as a whole… while allowing each individual to thrive and explore on their own.

Hello and welcome to III.

[RustyParticipant]

When you get there, please share what details you can.

Or I will send @thegilded to break you!!!!

[RustyParticipant]

Interesting point, @mike. The message to “Morgan… Russell” seemed to be reassurance.

[RustyParticipant]

Because of @daela question and because I did not receive the message directly, I have to agree with @jkonigsberg and his impression of Addison’s request.
But, if we get even the slightest indication this needs to be a community wide call to arms, it needs to be shared immediately.

Obviously, from @jkonigsberg post… we have no information to go on, yet.

[RustyParticipant]

@mike You are suggesting I help with decryption on something? Such a kidder!! 😉

I have only been able to solve the very first thing, which I know you solved, as well. Work is keeping me away from digging any deeper for now. The fragmented posts strike me as confusing at first… mentions of alpha and eye… a few numbers… do not see a pattern or relationship immediately, but as I said, I have only had time to glance that direction…….

[RustyParticipant]

@endlesspictures DOH! I totally forgot the video, reference, Jake! I was thinking there were too few potential Gatekeepers, but your equation works pretty darn well. Maybe there is part of the explanation of the countdown in here…

@lenize Thanks for bringing up that video!

[RustyParticipant]

Okay, jumping back to the “countdown” theory and the winding of the clock… winding down, perhaps? I started to wonder on the time that has passed, if there has been a reference to the age of the church of Anoch or the OOA through Bob Jones or anyone else. At first I thought there might be a way to deduce time passage if 242 represented the first in the line. But, we have seen a few Gatekeepers transition in the last few months so not sure if that is helpful in any way… and I don’t think we have any way of determining just how long a Gatekeeper may be in place. At the current rate, it is months… but it could be years and we would not know because it existed before our points of reference.

Following that line of logic, we can only trace back a few decades and we have been told we are dealing with something much older. I put it out there, but I think I am completely barking up the WRONG tree on this but I at least wanted to share it was something I thought of concerning the winding down of time/countdown.

Really, I do not do well figuring out all the number/puzzle stuff. Haha!

[RustyParticipant]

That also makes the most sense to me, @endlesspictures and @kasch, but I am lost on the numbers connection.

@nking you have brought some fascinating stuff to the table and I agree with Jake that it all sounds vaguely related to so much we have encountered. But, not sure what we are to gather from the numbers and specifically relate it to recent events. Somehow, this feels more like a simple puzzle and may be tapping into a larger picture, for sure.

[RustyParticipant]

Thank you, @111error I met three people that weekend in, seemingly, various stages of frustration or anger or sadness. I feel I was not very helpful to any of them.
