Mr. Bateman how exactly do you know/why do you think Spooky is, as you put it, a real joker?

Yeah, I don't really like that framework much?
Even if we're going to try to classify things into levels, well, we've pretty clearly got 3 levels displayed at present:
1) The Coco Nutters - Obsessed to some degree with an idea, but not particularly reflective of it
2) The Coco Leader - Obsessed with an idea, and has come to reflect that idea somewhat
3) The Coco King - Obsessed with an idea, and a fair reflection of that idea (as far as I can tell, anyway)
And based on Mr. Bateman's statement, there is probably AT LEAST one more level beyond this, which I'll refer to as 'Level N' for now:
N) The Meme Itself - Actually The Meme
I... Don't think we could come in contact with a 'Level N' meme directly? So I'm not sure how valuable this level is? But hey, it's worth consideration.
Hmm. Entirely possible! I have no way of knowing whether Spooks is messing with us or acting fairly, but thus far he seems to be at least somewhat truthful in engaging with us, if not particularly invested in our survival beyond as a way to test things out and further his own understanding.PatrickBateman: The categories could just be made up by Spooks to play around you guys.
Which, really, if all he wants us for is to observe how we act, react, and adapt to our new environment, I'll be pretty relieved? That's a fairly straightforward and easily understandable motivation for him, over all, which is far better than some incomprehensible motivation that we can't know or understand on account of being lesser beings or whatever.

What exactly did he do?

PatrickBateman: I remember he did tell me that there was a previous, far less intelligent and attractive model of myself that he tried to run to save another one of you.
PatrickBateman: The programming was sloppy so that model must have made a mess because he put the whole project back in the box for ages.
PatrickBateman: Shows he does get mad when his subjects go awry. So few of them are successful anyways. Poor kid who got stuck with that .exe.
PatrickBateman: Took them weeks to find the fragments.
PatrickBateman: He...
PatrickBateman: It's not the kind of thing you'd expect them to take lightly.
PatrickBateman: Oh, must have that part expunged. Looks like you'll just have to play a guessing game with it.
PatrickBateman: Like I said, a real joker.

Who are the FSB?
Also in a more general sense I think that we should take note that the Admin position can shut down some things but not others, .exes can make the server shut down (apparently?), and that making new roles for TrueNorth could be a partial counter to enemies who have a hold on Admin.

Honestly as a dum-dum I'm starting to get lost so overall like... a primer on what we've learned would honestly be much appreciated.

A lot of it is bluntly speculation and hearsay. So I wouldn't be too worried. I throw things out, give hints and so on, but it's not necessary or required until it's in a threadmark.
Nothing Bateman said is particularly groundbreaking. Or necessarily true.
That's not to say it isn't true. But part of the puzzle is having to deal with potentially unreliable narrators.

Please. If this is a magical girl quest, we've just had a mysterious, sharply dressed and stylish stranger swoop in at the last minute to save us from our first youma encounter.
Now, I don't know about you, but I am fully in support of our trusting and working further with Tuxedo Axe.

Honestly, I'm not too convinced that the SAN meter is actually a real thing. North could only see it after Shifty activated it and the jumps on it seem fairly random. Maybe it's just there to add additional pressure and thinking that your sanitiy is decreasing because a stupid meter decreases leads to the real sanitiy loss.
At this point Shifty might have just left North to her own devices in the hopes that she dies, so he has a convincing reason to store us fragments in a supply closet hard drive in Fredricton. Although we don't really know where we actually are right now, so maybe we're already there.
Oh yeah:

Cats are like animals with fur, some are naked though, and eyes and stuff.

...we don't have a chat log, right? If Spooks returns, he won't see all this speculation about him being evil, correct?

Thank you for using VoteTally, the polling service rated by 100% of respondents as the "best and only automated polling service available on SV". Vote VoteTally, the only vote aggregating program you'll ever need or want for your questing needs.
In our most recent polling, a whooping 10 out of 18 respondents said they think that TrueNorth should take PatrickBateman.exe's card. Furthermore, no less than 2 respondents have stated that they find Mr Bateman to be stylish, handsome and sharply dressed.
In our other poll, "Are you a Responsible Pet Owner?", 5 out of 11 respondents have stated that they think it is perfectly okay to feed some strange coconut residue they found on the ground to their pet dog. We hope that none of their canine companions suffer from sudden cases of coconut induced indigestion in the near future.
DISCLAIMER: By using the voting system, you consent to have your responses be recorded and freely redistributed for any purposes VoteTally sees fit. Your screen name, time of response, and previous survey responses (if any) will not be kept private.

[X] Keep the residue.
[X] Do not take his card [SAN is restored to maximum. ]
Sorry Mr. Bateman, you seem like a fun and terrifying person, but I think North needs some support and security first, and that comes in the form of SAN. And as for the residue, again, we have no idea what it does, so feeding it to our doggo just sounds like a bad idea. We keep it for now until we find a safe way of disposing of it. Don't know how purifying the digital digestive system of a doggo is.
On the upside, North, again, we're here for you. I can't promise that things'll get better, but I can promise that we'll be there with you all the way. I care about you, your goals, your passions, the things that make you you, and I'm sure most of us other fragments feel the same way. We'll get through this.
(OOC: @Cetashwayo, you have me legit deeply invested in a fictional character's well being, you character-writing genius/monster. North is precious and wonderful and should be protected at all costs and I'll be doing the best that I can for that. Not just because its a quest, but because you're a really good writer, North feels "real", for lack of a better word, and I don't want to see her get killed, subsumed, or whatever other myriad horrible fates await her further down the line.)

I like it. Not much I can really see wrong, at most I'd clarify that four instances of the Crew are considered double deceased, and add that instance Mike seems somewhat uncertain and vulnerable to verbal attacks.
