Rebroadcast just happened. Behind a trash can, under some leaves.

Whoever gets it better post it here before anything else or I will break you

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

If someone finds it, I implore you… PLEASE post it on the forums. In the past few days a number of people have received information or contact and kept it to themselves and thus, deprived all of us of furthering our Path

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

Burnt her pictures from earlier, it seems?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

I agree. iF someone actuallY says that this is their chOice, yoU sorT of have to assUme that they aRe at least partially, iN some way, a wIlling participant. We can’t assume the worst based off of some cryIng, for aLL we know tHey coUld have beeN Tears of joY. we dOn’t have the fUll picture here, i DO believe We caN’t jump to conclusions based off of this alone

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

I wasn’t feeling talkative, that’s all

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

Now that’s an interesting theory… that Gatekeepers are made, rather than trained?

That does bring up the next question… if the change is this sudden, is a “Gatekeeper Persona” brought out of someone… or put in?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

I keep rewatching it, and I think I see what you’re talking about. It’s slightly to the right side of the fire as it’s being zoomed in on. But I’m not convinced of what it is, it looks almost like a block of wood. If it isn’t, I doubt very much we’ll be able to make it out

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

Where did you find this footage of us last weekend…?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

Screw that, Security Guy had a dead look in his eye that suggested he wouldn’t hesitate for a second to put me the hell down

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

I’m very doubtful. They have been somewhat clear that not all of us are going to make it.

I do wonder, though, whether that means some are going to be disqualified or if it means that some won’t be able to stomach it and will drop out on their own

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

That makes sense, and I very much appreciate you explaining. I actually thought you were advocating us jumping an OOA member gangland style for a second there, that was definitely me misunderstanding you.

Your suggestion is certainly a valid one, and it may have worked. However, stopping the OOA from leaving and dealing with the problem as they’d like could be considered a hostile action against the OOA. If, hypothetically, people rose up to do that, I can promise that others would rise up to stop them. I don’t many people in that room wanted to take any action action against the OOA in the first place, and I know even less would have wanted to spark a Disciple civil war in that room.

Like you said, we are being tested. With things happening so fast, it is likely that people wanted to prove their loyalty more than they wanted to prove that they could try to strong arm the OOA into answers

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

If you’re asking me if I’m down to scrap, the answer is an unequivocal hell yes. I’m down to knock a motherfucker out regardless of number or size, and I’ve gotten scars and bruises to prove it. That’s not a question here, I know for a fact that a least a few of the Disciples are down to throw down when needed, but only if it’s needed and only if we know it’s right. The part I’m questioning is what you believe was needed and right.

What are the literal and actual actions that you would have recommended taking in order to obtain more clarity? Who would you have fought, who would you have stood up to, when would you have taken these actions?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

I’m a bit confused at what you’re recommending we should have done. Tom got halfway through the room, was stopped quickly by the gentleman that looked like a bouncer, got sick power bombed through the wall a little, then literally thrown out in the period of roughly a minute.

Should we have stopped Addison from being removed from the room? To do so would have gone directly against the OOA elders, something that I certainly had no interest in doing, and likely others didn’t either. If they did, they very recently saw the security put a man through some dry wall, it is unlikely they would be ready to challenge him.

Should we have joined the security in kicking Tom while he was down? Seemed like he had that handled. Should we have stopped the security guard from stopping Tom? Again, why would we help someone who wants to hurt the OOA in such a way?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

Kinda angry I missed this earlier, but these are kinda awesome, man

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

I’d ask that someone verify that Addison was called up to answer for her sins. That’s what I remember, but my memory is hardly the most reliable thing in the world. Can anyone else verify what the reasoning for her to be called up was?
