Listening post has been updating daily it seems, with power output listed for each now and a new ham radio solar data widget added to the page. And from the latest journal entry:

AMNA-A is currently rattling off digits like a numbers station, but guessing it will stop again very shortly. Recorded one sequence a couple hours ago and another now, over 5 minutes each time. Not sure if there were more earlier or will be more later. I'll get audio up soon.

ETA - rats, seems that I am missing the start of both counts even though I recorded them multiple times. The first starts 97745 iirc, and the second 92956. That should complete the first, but it sounds like I am missing more than that for the second.

Hey guys! One of my friends, a fellow ARGer, stumbled across this today and we've been working with what you guys have done and what we have found in the game.

Unfortunately, it really doesn't sit well with us that you guys did all this work and then the forum just died. o.o Can anyone shed some light onto what happened?

Thanks in advance!

Yours, Avia

PolarisFlannagan, i had a friend tell me about this today and was interested. I spent over 3 hours researching it so far. It seems that everyone who was involved is kinda off of it now. If you and I wanna try to pick it up where they left off, I'm game for that. In case you don't get this on the forum, I'll PM you or something. I'll be back on my computer about 1 PM eastern today. I just read through the whole forum and am super excited to try and do some shit. I've never done anything with any ARG before, but this seems interesting...

Hey Nave321,

Cool, I'm new to ARG as well but this is too interesting to pass up. I've gone through the entire forum once but I think I'll pass along again to see if I missed anything. Anyway, I responded to your PM but here's my ideas about where to go next:

1) It appears you get your 'character' by filling out the following survey:

http://esurv.org/online-survey.php?surveyID=OCIJGI_7bb604d4&u=ascend

I haven't done so yet, but I'm game to do it. Have you done so? If not, are you comfortable filling it out?

2) Maybe we can PM the others who have gotten this far to see if they're up for continuing or at least sharing some ideas of where they thought this was going. Obviously, they've done some really nice work getting this far and it would be a shame to not have them at least see how it finishes.

That's my two cents regarding this. Let me know if you have any ideas too.

Mr. C Poole of 1337WT Snacks St Wilwaukee, to be precise.

As for the details, life has been breathed into the Kanye Quest ARG on 4chan after an article on the ARG appeared just today, a few months after activity died. The account seems to tell a story about an inmate.

hey guys
completly new here, dont know what this forum is about or anything
but someone over at 4chan /v/ sent a link to this thread and i read it

let me clarify a couple things:
the address is fake, a streamer just streamed the ending and put in fake info, i was in the twitch stream, the Christopher Poole aka Moot is the founder of 4chan, Snacks an ex Admin, apparently the guy who runs the twitter account did in fact watch the stream or actually receive the message through the game

also check our thread at

also i found out how the twitter account works, its apparently partially a bot i would say, my english isnt great but i think you should understand it:http://gyazo.com/275c717d3256b3fd75a71b78347ecb42

This is the collection of the tweets in the correct order: http://pastebin.com/ZAEnsmjV

Each letter is connected, but a lot of the letters are still missing.

I know that the @ascendtoday twitter is one way they post, but I remember then using Facebook earlier in the thread. Does anybody have the link to that?

Wow, definitely a flurry of activity today. Here's the link to the Facebook thread, but it hasn't been updated recently:

https://www.facebook.com/AscendToday

So, from ascendance's final gyazo link, it seems like the twitter is currently being run by a bot, and it returns the part of the story equal to the number of letters in the message you tweet to it. I've tried tweeting a couple messages with the number of letters equal to the number of parts that we don't have, but I haven't heard anything back just yet, and the feed itself hasn't updated. I'll obviously update the thread if I see any response. Maybe we'll get a response on facebook with a similar message scheme too?

From what I can see on the pastebin, we are missing numbers:
11
12
14
15
17-22
24
25
27-30
32-34
36-38
40-45
48-56

And because 59 is "CUT TO BLACK.", I guess we can assume that that is the last number?

EDIT: Maybe because it's Twitter, 140 is the last line number? Just another thought.
