I have access to people with interworld travel capabilities. Excellent, that will save me some trouble. ...ah, assuming you let me in, of course. Pardon me for presuming; it has been quite some time since I have not been automatically part of the latest quest to save the world.

You're welcome to join the coalition, Meletiti Entelecheiai.
Much as you have reservations about my unknown organization, I have reservations about an unknown person with the avowed power to find out arbitrary information. I would very much take it as a courtesy if you would keep me informed, privately, regarding any private information you find out about me or my close associates.

Barring the usual exception of "everyone involved are horrible people who have somehow disguised themselves as active altruists very very well," I will do so. Though I am generally in the habit of respecting people's privacy.

You can now configure arbitrary conditions for how you want your deadman's-switch messages to work. I've offered a few default condition schemas that I think are reasonable, or you can write your own. The whole thing should be fairly user-friendly. A few things to note: - You can have multiple messages set to trigger under different conditions.
- Your conditions do have to be basically in terms of you interacting with the forum – I don't have the ability to detect arbitrary things happening – but I support intent-based conditions, so you can condition on things like "are you being forced to interact with the forum under duress".
- Once you've set a trigger, you can only disable or modify it if allowed by the conditions you set for that trigger. If you're using one of the default schemas, the trigger can only be disabled/modified by your own uncoerced free will (i.e. not under duress).
- You can set triggers to fire silently, so that (for example) triggering a message looks identical to disabling that trigger, to someone looking over your shoulder. The French Vanilla and Tinfoil schemas do this by default.
- In the Dodgy Jammer schema, you can reskin or remove the "I'm okay" and "I'm in trouble" buttons from the Tweaks tab.
Hope this helps.

I am supportive of efforts to protect the community against inter-universal threats. However, from what I can gather, my magic will not function outside my universe, and most magic outside my universe won't work within it1 2.
However, I can provide nonmagical solutions to some problems, and am happy to lend advice when you think it could be useful.
1: More experimentation required; if you are interested in collaborating, let me know. 2: This could be a use: magical artifacts3 (even dangerous ones) may stop working when they enter my universe, which could be a useful way to dispose of them. I can set up a secure facility somewhere if others would like to try. 3: and magical people too, so I suggest magical beings not enter my universe if they want to keep their magic. Nonhumans should consult with me to be safe.

I can help! I'm not sure how, though, but I'm definitely up for helping if you have a thing for me to do that is helpful!

I am also not sure how useful I would be for this, but I am willing to help this organization if it needs anything I can provide. If you need food, shelter, or peace, my world has them.

This sounds like a Fine Idea to me. I'm not sure I want to join, precisely, but I'd like to help with any problems that come along.

Since I appear to have drifted into doing this work anyway, I feel like I ought to make some form of announcement.
I consider myself allied with the World-Tree Coalition.
