20-odd years ago, the entire staff was ordered to do mass O/W write-ups after hours. This was due to persistent down stats. Before the O/W write-ups began, we all had to Chinese School "Reasonableness" and M-9 KSW Series 1.
After that, we were instructed to write up ALL of our O/Ws, including any that had been only partially written up earlier, and any O/Ws we still had attention on even after earlier O/W write-ups.
This went on for many, many days. We were told that this would continue as a group until everyone had finished writing up all of their O/Ws.
Normally, O/W write-ups are worked on only until you feel better about yourself, and then stopped. It is quite possible to overrun on O/W write-up.
After a while, when staff started grinding on their write-ups, i.e. having difficulty thinking of any more O/Ws to confess, we were given hints about specific areas of our life to examine. Then later on, were told to start writing up O/Ws on thoughts. In other words, confess to "evil purposes" we had thought of, no matter how fleeting, and write up the evil thoughts. These thoughts would be used later for sec checks.
In the beginning, people started brightening up as Time-Form-Place-Event was viewed and charge was blown. Later on, as serious grinding had set in and O/Ws were overrun, it was pretty obvious that most staff were quite downtone, but were forced to pretend to be uptone so we could get this write-up over with. We all wanted to get some sleep, as this could drag on into morning hours.
Has anyone else ever been forced into a situation like this?
Writing up O/Ws can be difficult enough, but when you are not sessionable, but very tired and hungry, it can really suck.
And yes, I later got into trouble for some of the "thought O/Ws" I ended up writing.
