I liked it a lot. The somewhat "dark" topic seems to fit the article and I think it's good to read a WWS text that is anything but light-hearted, normally I read Wilson to see something nice, but this time I was glad to see this, which gives a change to the Wilson readings I normally read. And it has given me an idea to rewrite my GoI format.

Goob job, Ethan

Always love a good WWS read, and I love the dark tone!

I kinda dig this. The reveal was something I wasn't expecting at all in the best kind of way, and it's always good when there's a pattern screamer article I can actually get my head around without pages and pages of explanation. I'm not the biggest fan of how the lack of knowledge of the history was shown in the critter profile itself — there's no way anyone would actually write it out like that — but it's something I can look past.

I thought Tim Wilson and the rest of WWS refer to them as Supervisors? Tim here is used as like a mouth piece of the author to explain outright what's going on.

I was going to comment the same thing myself (clearly quite late). But yeah, the WWS never acknowledge the foundation as anything other than 'The Supervisors'

I see the term 'Supervisors' as fulfilling 2 functions, its makes a lighthearted reference to the Foundation, and it helps maintain the veil for anyone else who sees it. At the end of this Tim Wilson is somber, and he knows that the record is getting deleted.

I didn't mention this during the contest, but this is one of the few Pattern Screamer articles I genuinely like, because it fully displays the weirdness they're capable of without relying on vagueness masquerading as unspeakable horror.

This was the first ever Pattern Screamer article I read and after checking out more after seeing Ihp mention that it is one, I gotta say, this is definitely one of the best!

Ok, look, the article itself isn’t half-bad, but I have a bit of a severe gripe with the way “deletions” are portrayed.

Like, unless everyone at WWS is using scarily accurate speech-to-text transcribers, no document is ever going to look like this;

We first met Chel when- Chel came to us- Chel…

Or this;

He- He was assigned- Chel- Errr…

Or even this;

Well-! No no no.

Rather, they would all look like someone had, you know, typed the words out, then deleted them;

We first met Chel when Chel came to us Chel

He He was assigned Chel

Well No no no.

I know that this article is several years old, and these errors probably won’t be fixed, but if the author and any other writers read this, know that this is the right way to write deletions.

Still, can’t fault the idea. 10/10 on Pattern Screamer Shenanigans, 2/10 on Document Function Knowledge.

Even though I predicted Chel's origins at the start of reading, I didn't think too much about the implications at first. When I did at the end, I was just like… "oh shit." I wonder if this story has ever been continued… +1
