They all know each other....

[corboblanc]

yes, it's true. some couples know each other, but only because they were recruited in the same way. some live in the same city, and should be regularly convened by rlc, to make assessments of their experience. a good way to meet. FYI, some are even married couples, as alina who watched last night dvd her wedding!

I notice that certain RLC women will prance around nude and have sex in the free rooms, without regard to the weather. Then they stop, essentially closing off the free rooms to such activity. They almost seem to take turns, as if they draw straws to see who will spend more time showing-off.

I am not saying that it's part of a coordinated strategy to recruit new subscribers, but it's odd how they go from full nude back to underwear and clothes 24/7, as if RLC has decided to stop feeding potential subscribers and harvest them like crops for their income base.

It's odd. And it happens regardless of weather.

I smell a conspiracy... ;)

I caught that, Pepe... ;D

You're damn subtle for a skunk, so let's just steal a WWII concept and say "There's something rotten in Denmark."

There's nothing wrong with a good conspiracy theory anyway. They can be great fun.

I'm certain that our beloved tenant friends visit here often -- they like to read their fan mail. (I do allow PMs, you know, Leora! No disrespect to Scooter, of course, but you need several more loving friends.)

Yes I have noticed this as well.  I do not think it gives credence to the OP's statement - but it would seem that there is some coordination from the mothership (RLC) as to who needs to crank up the nudity in the free cam areas and when.  Could be a coincidence -  but since we are feeding the conspiracy theory topic thought I would mention it. 

Actually it really makes sense that they are somewhat managed. 

[Foamy T. Squirrel]

OP's post is probably not too far off base. His thread is worthy of thoughtful consideration.

It's a fact, although I can't divulge how or why I know this, but chillifingers smokes a lot of crack and likes to masturbate with crunchy peanut butter while he reads the responses to his post.

Hmmm, guess it works for any of us too...guess that makes it true now, right?

Anyhow, what I do find interesting in chillifingers original post is that he/she/it thinks that we should know this information.  I'm still trying to figure out what we really need to know...that all of the participants on RLC know each other and....what?  So, for arguments sake, let's say they all do know each other and have attended some secret meeting in the Ukraine.  Now what?  What's the next step for us, chillifingers?

You want us to do some research?  You want us to discover that they know each other?  As with some previous posts, we know some of them do. 

I also found the comment that some of the couples are not real couples pretty interesting.  Which ones are not real couples?  Katya & Ruslan and Sofia & Roman? 

And, what is the big plan in the Ukraine?  Can you give a a few more clues? 

Of course, I'll understand if you can't because your life could be in danger for sharing as much as you did.  But, since no one really believes you without any evidence, I think you'll be okay, and the RLC Mafia will probably go easy on you.

way to go hollywoodmogul21  you are right about RLC Mafia :-)  By the way you teach me lot about Voyeurism .. I love CC LOL this is more fun then RLM

It's a fact, although I can't divulge how or why I know this, but all the RLC participants not only know of each other, but have also agreed between themselves how this whole charade is played out.

I would not be surprised, if a) chillifingers turned out to be... what was his name... that scumbag behind Lost... oh, yeah, Damon Lindelof, or b) if Damon Lindelof himself was behind the whole RLC idea. In which case I wouldn't be surprised if one day RLC just vanished, without any explanation whatsoever, goodbye, all you're left with for the rest of your lives are your theories.

What I can't wrap my head around is, why are the appartments in 3 different time zones? And not even adjacent ones? I mean, if you decided to set up a big brother company, wouldn't you just have it all in your one time zone, for the sake of convenience in cases like maintenance needed etc.? Why go to UTC+2, then UTC+4 and then UTC+8?

Also, I think someone mentioned here on the forum, that when they have friends over, they have to let them know about the cameras. I don't know about you, but do you normally go visit a friend and take a shower, and you're OK with the fact that maybe thousands of people are watching you, maybe even your brothers or sisters, or your close friends, and you get naked in front of them, or even fuck someone? What kind of people are these tenants and their friends? Does it turn them on to be watched or what? How come they're so cool about it? A couple of years ago I watched bits and pieces from big brother in UK, and man, they were really trying hard to hide themselves jerking off or fucking on camera. How come it doesn't bother these people?

You do rase some good points.  Maybe as someone said they are in a sound studio somewhere (something like the truman show)The web page tells us the time zone the set (apt.) time is set to the that time zone.  In in real time they could all be at 0 GMT  or any of them.  There friends might be pad actors and not real friends or they found homeless people on the street and told them they could get paid for a hot shower and have sex with someone.  All you have  to do is be on cam.

I can offer you this some do enjoy being watched its called being an exhibitionist.

RLC is blocked where they are so there family and friends will not see them.

[hollywoodmogul21]

I'm not sure I buy the whole studio theory.  Just imagine the costs.  As far as time zones are concerned, it probably has to do with logistics...

As it appears today (and this is just my assumption), RLC may find it a lot more cost effective to have all the couples in one or two time zones.  So, it will not surprise me whenever the next new couple appears on RLC in the +4 or +8 time zone.  Most likely, we will see them in the +4 time zone, which will lead me to believe that RLC in moving to have all couples in one area/region.  Having couples in multiple time zones may be convenient for members to catch desirable live action, but may not justify the costs for RLC.  As small as RLC is right now and without any other competing site(s) like RLC, it would make more financial sense to operate and manage in one location and still generate equal or more profit.

No proof of this.  Just my observation and thoughts.

[Foamy T. Squirrel]

1) Pepe is correct. Alexa.com shows that RLC has virtually no traffic originating from Russia. It's blocked there, except for FSB surveillance and people who know how to use TOR. CC doesn't appear to be blocked. But "no one you know will see you naked" is a good selling point to sign up new recruits.

2) I like the studio concept -- the idea is that the entire thing comes from a studio in San Fernando Valley where cheap porn movies are filmed, or Area 51, where Americans "faked" the moon landing-- is just plan fun. But it's wrong.

3) The idea that some or all of the tenants are, or were,  part of RLC management cannot be proved or disproved. I'll let that idea roll. The only person I've seen write code was Kiko -- all the other dudes are addicted to video games or music. Or directional antennas.

4) Spain has laws forbidding the filming of performances, and Barcelona is a desirable place to live. Hence, RLC set up shop there. But with Spain's socialist decline, I suspect RLC doesn't want to renew the Barcelona leases.

5) RLC is managed through the Internet. Hence, they can locate their apartments anywhere, and simply contract out the foot-work locally when needed. Multiple time zones mean that something is usually happening somewhere, and can be seen by their subscribers somewhere. Theoretically.
