I think you were, actually. Adam's list had some abhorrent tasks to do to me. Including physical violence and non consensual sex.

So, I don't think there are limitations on the tasks.

I am safe enough, I think.

[waxwings]

is there any occult compulsion that you're aware of? I can't imagine many people who would willingly harm someone they care about, even here.

[thevelmster]

They seem to be able to fight it, but the longer they go without completing tasks, the worse they feel. It will probably get worse.

It's a membership test.

[waxwings]

So even people that don't think it's worth hurting someone over, will have incentive to do it. If not to gain membership, then to end their own suffering. I'm guessing your friend didn't try to hurt you, how's he doing?

Do you know how much people knew about what they were signing up for? Since I wasn't around during any of this, I'm not sure who would be safe to get information from and who I should be avoiding.

[thevelmster]

Yes. Likely both. If you succumb to the latter rationale one might as well go for the rest to attain membership lest the effort be for naught, right?

No one knew this would be the consequence. Though I'd like to think people had the intelligence to understand it was not the best idea, or that there'd be no consequences.

Adam would be honest and the distraction might be good for him too. I also have some low quality videos I can send from him.

[waxwings]

Some might panic and back out instead of risk having to hurt more people, I think. If they're struggling against the suffering that hard in the first place.

There's always consequences to messing around with stuff like this, any idiot should know that much. Curiosity and thinking they're doing the right thing for whatever reason could be motivators for anyone that should know better. That will only matter so far when they have to start hurting someone they care enough about.

I'd appreciate any information you have to offer. The more we know about what's going on the easier it would be to help.

[thevelmster]

We're liable to see a wide range of responses given the variety of people that have been pulled here.

I'm certain people went without fully understanding the relative gravity of the situation, and the likely risks. There are many reasons I did not go despite my curiosity.

I'll send them over, then. Part of me wants to post a warning on the network, but that will for certain draw a target on my back.

[waxwings]

Right. It would be interesting to see but I doubt we'd get an accurate representation of the total population.

Probably a good thing I wasn't around for it.

There's no anonymous option for the network here?

[Don't mind him, he hadn't thought about that sort of thing since Riverview and isn't the most tech-aware, so how safe those measures might be are also beyond him.]

[thevelmster]

People lie, unfortunately. That would add another layer of variance.

Agreed.

There is I believe. It's not foolproof though.
