Don't bother the techs.

Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

I don't have a really good update for you guys, but bear with us. Please?

I think at this point it's a worthwhile point to wonder why we bother helping you at all when you have no guarantee of keeping any of us safe. So much for trying to preserve souls, I suppose.

in fairness
it isn't as though we have a lot of options
either help them or deal with things
it doesn't matter much either way from what i've seen
but people like to feel productive

That is fair. But it's also tiring.

and what would you suggest our other options are

We let them fail, just to see what happens.

I'm not sure hindering them would produce results we'd like.

It would at least be *different*.

"Different" and "better" are appreciably different things.

It's an unknown variable, but I'll take that over the known issue that isn't working.

Jamie Doh
Are we helping them?

-...-

Yes? We have? At least I've been conscripted to do so before.

Oh, well...
I mean, that's true...
But a lot of the time, the work we end up putting in on all this is on our own behalf, right? It might suit their purposes, too, but it's not like we're doing it as a favor.

Our own behalf? And just what have we gained, exactly?

They have this abnormal amount of control over us where it is in our best interest to aid them for our own benefit even if it appears as if we get nothing for it. It's really trying to say the least.

I fail to see how it's in our best interests when they continuously fail to manage whatever it is they are meant to be managing.

This past month is an example. If we hadn't offered our aid then the world would have simply continued to not exist. Yet we get little out of it because they have not gone on to repair what we started.

I guess this is why I spend more time drinking than helping lol

[Just admit that it's you being lazy and wanting to drink, Jirou...]

If only it were so easy for the rest of us.

its not? that must be really hard.

I will admit that the question has crossed my mind since I started using the network

However, maybe the work we put in now will pay off in the the future
It's something I'm hoping for

I personally grow tired of the 'maybes' that never bare any fruit.

It can be quite tiring to do so much work without seeing the fruits of our labor, but they might be saving it for something later

It seems that would be something this group would do

They do like to keep up in the dark about news until the last minute

whats this about souls?

That is what Retrospec claims to be in the business of. Saving souls, in a very much literal sense.

oh!
first ive heard of it
i mean
i did just get the app but
are we the souls theyre saving?
did we commit some sin?
