I've been here a little while and I've read back a lot of the stuff on the network.

Some of you are smart enough that you'll figure out who I am immediately but, I have to ask — really? Really??

You get on this network and you talk about your old lives like no one you know from back where you came from is going to show up and ruin everything for you.

And you talk like you don’t expect these Jorgmund people to hold some of that stuff over your head, either.

I’m sorry, but I’m a lot more private than that. You know? I’m smarter than that. I’m not willing to ruin everything by talking too much.

PS – Anyone who guesses who I am gets one of those shitty beers from the cafeteria dumped over their head. Mind your business.

[All that Price sees in this post is obnoxious attention seeking. He's tempted to ask who this is, or to say 'welcome to the Rig' and then block them, but it's not worth it. He gives a passive aggressive like to the post and takes it away immediately.]

You say that like our shit’s not already ruined.

I agree with you, but lay off or own it.

[bananaclip]

Maybe after I get more used to things here. For now I'm not willing.

For the latter point, I mean.

[fuckcable]

Don’t be surprised if nobody wants to trust you.

You saw the welcome committee. They’ve got stuff on us and in us. We need space to breathe, and they want to see we’re using these things like good little proles.

We get it, you think you're smarter than everyone else. Join the rest of the jerks who think the same thing.

[bananaclip]

I don't intend to.

[heterochrocatic]

So are you going to do anything useful besides tell the rest of us we're wrong and you're right?
Or is this just wasting both our time?

[71lines]

You're pretty obviously new, so we just have to do a looksee for obnoxious new people, right?

What is it with people lately and acting like they know everything just because they read back a bit? "They'll threaten your family!" It's almost as if they think Jorgmund would last long enough for me to finish typing this sentence if they tried to threaten me through Master Guy.

I don't know who you have at home but I tried to kill someone who, as far as we could tell, was the literal embodiment of evil.

If that person shows up I'm going to do everything I can to protect all of you, because I think you are all worth a lot more than him.

I also don't think I can.

I feel like you took this the opposite of how I meant it.

[zerofield]

There's little my enemies from back home don't already know about me, so that's not really an issue.

still anon

[bananaclip]

Unfortunately? Me, too.

[prairietroubador]

Okay, so you tried to kill a literal embodiment of evil and you think that's impressive. I'm not even going to gainsay that, it kind of is. But I know a guy who punched one through a skyscraper.

So maybe just hold off a sec on thinking you know better than us. Trust me, some of us experience with this kind of thing.

[bananaclip]

Until the last few months I would have thought what you said was impossible, but I'm starting to think anything can happen at any time.

Anyway, point taken. For all I know everyone telling everything about their pasts here is a bunch of obfuscation and lies.

People seem quite free with their stories here. I imagine they have their reasons. Mine is that the broad arc of my life is very widely known by my people, and even moreso by their enemies. If I have something more intimate to disclose, I do it by some other channel. It wouldn't surprise me to find I'm not alone.

Good to know. For your part it sounds like you're being wise enough with it.

[wheyoftheadept]

so then like why did you even post this.

im genuinely curious you do know chatting here is totally optional and if the risk/benefit analysis doesn't come out right for you no one's gonna make you shitpost.

[bananaclip]

Anger. Anger at the situation and our captors, and a feeling of helplessness that people seem to be putting themselves in bad positions here.

[locked AND anon] [text]

[credit_not_blame]

Is this a rhetorical question, or do you actually want an answer? I need to know before I waste my time responding.

[bananaclip]

I really do. I'd appreciate the insight.

[greyerrant]

If I meet anyone from my old life, I shall kill them, or they shall be an ally. There is nothing much to worry about either way.

[bananaclip]

I don't have that assurance. I'm glad you do.

Some of us already have people from home here. The Jorg already knows some of what we can do. Other stuff we keep on the down low. Only one or two people you really have to worry about, and they're mostly locked out of anything important. Just to save the rest of us the headeaches.

I hope everyone's showing your restraint. I do wonder if everyone's smart enough to make stuff up on here.

You act as if we aren't judicious about about the things we're capable of, or that what we're capable of won't become immediately obvious during rig-based conflicts.

Or that we aren't already public figures to others back home, incapable of hiding from our enemies.

You're not the only one that's looked on the face of pure evil. And you're truly privileged if you're capable of hiding anything from them back in your world.

For the first point: true, I didn't think about that part.

For the second: I'm sorry if that's the case for you. That's truly terrible.
