[Wyoming Incident] Stirrings at The Happy Cube

Ataxis@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 31 Dec 2016 16:36:21 +0000

Alright, it begins again. And this time, I guess I'm in on it. Thank you, Night Mind, for covering TWI so long ago.

For those who don't know, after the well-renowned Night Mind made his video on The Wyoming Incident, I got really into it, and created this: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42688

Suffice to say, I was captivated by this long, complicated story, so please forgive me if I'm particularly zealous about this.

Now, here's what I can add so far:

The speaker in "And They Will Be Paid" is probably SenorBambos. Bambos, for those who don't know or remember, was one of the original creators of TWI. Bambos mentioned, when he reappeared after the disappearance of theembodiment, the last Acolyte Of Paranoia, that The Puppetmaster never contacted him from the same E-Mail twice, paralleling a line from the recording.

The premise of this return is clear: whoever is currently in control of the Pembry account wants something, probably from Bambos, and they think it's time that they got it.

EDIT: New post. The Places You Call Home

This post looks like it's gonna be our guidebook this time around, for those interested in continuing. It's a long document, heavily redacted by Pembry, dedicated to tracking *** (name redacted) through time. it's pretty clear after reading, especially considering the final segment about Bambos, that *** is The Puppetmaster.

Got a hilariously vague tip about this, so some context:

Jack Q Pembry (Happy Cube admin) made two recent posts. The first (December 9):

Debts Due (December 9th)

Contents were the text "And They Will Be Paid", linking to https://soundcloud.com/user-212277372/funbugmicactiveheadphoneinacti

The above quote comes from the post This Is Him (December 21).

I think the most major issue lie in him trusting anyone enough to present the matieral as he intended it to be presented. Especially after the first derailment of his propaganda push and the later edits to his videos. I don't know. He keeps himself at a remove. I suppose that might imply him being naturally distrustful, but when he does trust someone, he can be almost wondrously naive. We warned him about Bambos and Viral Detector, but he had invested too much one-on-one time with them to drop them. He still clings to them. Someone is going to be hurt.

The prophecy is a book and that book is in a hole and that hole is filled with piss and that piss belongs to "Bright" and he is smiling because the old book is gone and his is the new and our benefactor has receded impotently into the shadows. What else is new?

This prose is terrible, and the legality of distributing the .pdf itself is... questionable? It would prolly get you on a watch list. No mythos here either... I vote we leave it off the boards.

>Yeah because we're absolutely hurting for more mythology shit right now. Post it.

>>If our benefactor was thinking clearly, he would not want to open us up to further investigation by legitimate police authorities. Like I said, it's not that I necessarily know the legality of the whole thing, but it seems troubling to say the least. Do you want to incite violence? How would you feel if a player did indeed "make a murder happen"?

>>>it's not directive and it's not a ritual for the game.it is simply a way a person could theoretically pull off these acts and get away with it but none of it is anything new to someone who's familiar with true crime.this isn't the anarchist's cookbook.father wants it and we need more found documents NOT MYTHOS.i vote post.

>>>>It's shelved. Fuck voting. Posting this would be unfathomably irresponsible. This conversation is over.

He's hijacked phone lines, broadcasts, and I'm sure a good twenty years ago, he could've kicked up a hell of a storm on Usenet or something. He is unrelentingly unpleasant. He understands the fundamentals of video editing. That is it. That's the extent of his talents. He talks about viral content like my dad does. Do you really believe half the shit he says? Guarantee you he's BPD or something.

And if not, so fucking what? The Age of the Serial Killer is dead, baby.

No mystery here. This has been engineered well enough to function in the right hands. The operators are flawed. My requests have been ignored. This was mine. Do you know how close I am to you right now? Do you know I can see you through the dark? Can you make it to the light switch before I have your neck in my hands?

You won't see my face.

Another seeker of S. figured out there is something going on at 22 khz, but I don't have the skills myself to figure it out. This may be just a fan driven thing, but thought I would at least drop it here to give other people a chance if they are so inclined.

Stephen King/Dark Tower ARG?

untricky@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 29 Apr 2016 05:43:14 +0000

Looks like it has reared its head again. But with a different URL.

Background is the same, but some new code:

Kelibath@forums.unfiction.com — Tue, 02 Feb 2016 05:37:26 +0000

New character I think, though not yet on MrNames list. @Madame_Shoshana. "Fallen London's foremost clairvoyante. All forms of divination practised. Eery accuracy and uncanniness guaranteed."

Are those typos or Brit spelling?

Necro'ing an old post here, because I found it while searching for something quite different and noticed it was out of place. There are some typos in the above as per British English:

clairvoyante - clairvoyant is the proper spelling, but this may be intentional, for flavour
eery - should be spelt eerie

If the latter especially has not been caught and changed, to date, it really should be.

12.42 ?

Did anybody solve this?

Remember "YOUWILLNEVERFINDME"??

Hey guys, I was one of the guys that intensly played this ARG. And the starter of the MSN GROUP. It's such a shame we never finished it. :(

It might warrant its own sub forum if he gets to create more chapters as he appears to intend. Each chapter could be a new topic.

GuestUser17@forums.unfiction.com — Tue, 29 Sep 2015 01:00:57 +0000

A video summary of Chapter One has been posted on Find The Starlight. Chapter Two should be starting soon.

Almost a year later, and Chapter Two is ready to begin. The website is now http://darinross.wix.com/findthestarlight and it has the archives for Chapter One.

(Would someone care to request this thread be resurrected? Or should a new thread be started? I never participated, barely lurked, so I don't feel invested in how or where the game will be discussed going forward, if at all.)

(I hate posting in the Archives...)
Did you know the kickstarter was successful?

Did you know Season 1 of The Black Watchmen is already running on Steam?

Did you know, if you buy Season 1 now (before the end of September 2015) you will also gain access to Season 2 coming out later this year?
