Roll Call

the defender role was a novel one to me as well. the way Roger and Zahra explain it to me is that she is the one who tries to prevent a situation. but in situations where danger is present or absolutely imminent Roger is there to Defend.

you are spot on about the one who knows everything g in reference to li'l b. I get a sense of smugness from her now that the rest of have figured this out. smugness might be an imprecise word. pride may be better suited.

it's funny that since OC moderates, that the system perceives OC as authoratative. but OC sees herself as having very little power and merely a peon in the machine, since democracy rules. Snow sees herself as the supreme authority but never bothers to get involved in the day to day operations. she literally envisions herself as the CEO and only intervenes if the system is in dire trouble.

I will look up the photo box thing you mentioned.

Allegra, Tom wants to know what you do and how you feel about what you do and do you get any respect and do you sometimes feel like everybody else is kind of a circus of idiots with no idea what is really going on?

Thanks to Roger and Zahra for explaining the difference between protector and defender. It makes sense. We don't have that kind of delineation, and we're trying to get away from roles, but the fact is that these functions still need to be done. After all these years of general progress, we're at a stage right now where a lot of us aren't sure who we are or what we're here for.

(internal dialogue)
Laura: I clean up my own sh*t, and everybody else's sh*t as well.
Allegra: Not as much as you think. Stop exaggerating your own importance.

As you can see, we all have stuff to work on. I (Allegra) would like to get back to showing more of the compassion and empathy that I believe in so strongly, but doing so much day-to-day stuff leaves me weary. I get restless when I'm not doing anything.

I think that I get respect, though. Laura likes to act like she doesn't respect anybody (she identifies with Tom's "circus of idiots," except that she sees the whole world that way). The respect issue doesn't worry me. If I know that I'm doing the right thing, the rest takes care of itself.

Thanks,

Allegra and others

Hi, I hope it's okay for us to post here if we have OSDD-1(?)!
Our system has 4 members:

• Brendan (Me!) - 15 - Original
• Pitch - 19 - Protector, host, Demon ^^
• Georgia - 10 - Little
• Mia - 18 - Previous host, partial memory holder

weve figured some stuff out since our last roll call so.....

• Selene - 18
• Daniel - ~15
• Pride - 20
• Arwyn - 44
• Skreem - 10
• unnamed beast - N/A
• introject who i dont wanna meet again to find out more about her
• possibly 4 others from really early on weve gotta look into that at some point

Thanks for the Protector/Defender idea.

We have the Rescue Team to get us out of bad sh*t. They're authorized to use force. We also have the Hostage Negotiation Team to talk our way out. They are authorized to lie, cheat, and manipulate. We try not to use these teams because there can be collateral damage. It's better to use the Resources Development Team who organize help and make friends. That's a lower cost option.
