oh yes i'm still here. i don't know if i will be posting any new threads anytime soon but i do have more stories about prison life that i've been asked to talk about elsewhere. but i will go about my business posting in other parts of sa.

so i see that a mod stepped in here to stop the fighting but that never happened in my thread. it got closed before i had a chance to even look at it. both isaboo and i messaged the mod who closed it but they were not helpful in telling me anything.

and since a couple of people continued to bring up my name here after captainsarcastic said to stop, i'll say my 2 cents then be done.

it was my idea for isaboo to post the 'reveal'. i feel bad that he got attacked for it when it was my mistake. i probably shouldn't have asked him to do it. but i was nervous like i was when we first posted the thread. we intended for that post to mean 'only harvey is posting from now on' but as he said i felt i needed to take a break. the dose of the internet i got was too much too soon too fast. if i had wanted to continue instead of stopping there i think everything would have made a lot more sense because of what i had planned to share.

i don't know if any of you actually read his post but in it he says we thought about having him write a fictional story like his other gbs stories. that was my idea but he said he'd rather not because the story is so personal to me. so instead we decided to collaborate and share this account for a while. he'd post some things i either couldn't or didn't want to answer. we embellished and changed some details for obvious reasons, just like he does with his other stuff. but everything that i said happened, happened in some way. the hard facts about conditions inside are all true.

that's all it was. i asked a good friend to help me navigatge a completely new world. it wasn't done to be sneaky, or for him to 'chase clout' which is a ridiculous idea. it backfired when i wanted to come clean. that's on me.

so i guess i'll ask someone else so i will know. why didn't a mod actually moderate that thread when it got out of control
it was a popular thread that a lot of people posted in so it's weird to see nothing happen there, yet this thread got told to cut it out.

all i wanted to do was apologize to the thread for misleading them but i didn't get that chance. so i guess this is that apology.

anyway i won't say anything else about it. y'all can respond however you want and mods can do whatever they like with me but i'm done talking about that thread.

Cut that's a wrap!

Just wait until I get poon-poon to join after he's released. That'll really throw y'all into a tizzy.

Anyway, I had fun through every bit of it. I'll eat the poo poo, it's fine.

I had an actual big reveal planned but it obviously went south before I reached that point.

this is actually not that far fetched

the rest is but that part lines up lol

old ex cons who get released are like half hella nerds by the time they get out from doing nerd poo poo to not go insane or be wrapped up in gang/prison culture poo poo, they just look scary


whole lot of time to read in prison and you get really good at understanding systems of authority


the thing thats a tell for me is he doesn't write like a boomer - they all write like boomers, and i don't see one pointlessly trailing ellipses

they also will generally use proper capitalization and grammar from writing/reading hella letters for decades

the ones who are subliterate generally don't get out, they're not able to stay out of trouble, because the only way to stay out of trouble in prison is to read a lot

MrQwerty posted:

It was to be about a prison ghost who helped Harvey attempt an escape. Another was a tale about Harvey saving the life of one of the gang shotcallers. The 'reveal' I did post was going to be a jumping off point for that. I know that makes zero sense now given the context, but it would have worked if not for those pesky goons reacting much more strongly than I anticipated.

Fwiw, some of the stories of violence came from a friend who did 12 years in a Florida penitentiary. For others, I googled "crazy prison stories" and went from there. He also told me about the food they'd make, but I had to google the recipes.

Honestly I never expected or intended the thread to take off like it did. I really thought someone would recognize it was me from the other stories I've posted in GBS and thought I would have needed to end it much sooner. I even tried to leave little clues to that effect but it didn't work like I wanted.

Anyway, I wanted to do something creative but wanted something a little different than what I've done before, so I tried the fake persona thing. I thought the names "harveys zoo zoos", and later "poon-poon" would be a heavy indicator it was all bullshit.

Yeah, I thought about this stuff for a minute before starting. I knew I'd slip up and use words that would sound unrealistic for an ex-con, and it's why I said Harvey read a lot. I actually do read a lot of Ursula K LeGuin though!

cumpantry posted:

I'm down with the ban for Harvey if it's for murder. Murdering a good time? Murdering a good thread? Murdering Seth's inbox?

Sorry Seth. I was just disappointed I couldn't end the thread on my Harvey's terms before you closed it.

The whole idea came to me when I thought "what if a dude was away for 30 years and wanted to learn about the internet. I know! Let's see what SA would do!"

Anyway, I learned a few things I didn't know about SA, and it was fun to reminisce about the last 30 years. Sorry if I made anyone upset. But like I said as Harvey, it was endearing to see people help someone like him out. There were some great jokes at my (and Harvey's) expense both before and after I tanked it, so that was cool.

I guess this kills any good reception from writing another GBS-style story though, haha. Oh well. The ones I've already done were fun.

gently caress! I meant to post this in the GBS chat thread. Oops.
