Howard has updated the http://funandprettythings.com/lifepreservinginformation/ page with a new entry!

Clicking the link brings up a "survival simulation" game. Very Cool!


Very neat! Helps you understand the bunker. Have died already, needless to say.


And I've died numerous times now as well, JustThinking - longest survival so far: 228 days, with...

# of A or B player injuries: 4
# of waterpipe leaks: 3
# times morale dropped to 'fatal' levels: 7
# times fish were in danger: 5
# amount of hair pulled out of head, trying to keep everything in balance: several hundred strands

RADIOGIRL, YOU'RE THERE! I CAN SEE THAT YOU'RE USING THE SIMULATOR. I WAS BEGINNING TO WORRY THAT YOU REALLY HADN'T SEEN ANY OF MY MESSAGES. BUT NOW THAT I KNOW YOU'RE LISTENING, I'M NOT GOING TO REST UNTIL I KNOW YOU'RE PREPARED.

I KNOW THAT YOU'RE SEEING SOME WEIRD RESULTS IN THE SIMULATOR. I MAY HAVE TO TAKE IT OFFLINE IF I CAN'T FIX IT, BUT I HOPE IT DOESN'T COME TO THAT. THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE, AND THE SIMULATOR IS GOING TO TEACH YOU SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT.

I'm going to be really mad if some practical jokers ruin the ARG for us.

 		Hopefully it mean's they're gonna lock it down to prevent us chasing any more false leads. Ugh, I hope this doesn't mean all the leaderboard watching was a waste and the simulator is gonna do something crazy Wednesday night or whatever.

 		Perhaps this is the Dev's commenting on the recent hacking of the Sim? Alot of people are thinking it's telling us to continue playing the Sim which will reveal something vital. Although apparently not in the leaderboards lol...My first thought was 'oh no are people hacking FAPT blog", I must admit.

 		I don't see the point of continuing to play the simulation. After having gone through it 7-10 times, I feel like I've seen enough of the various outcomes and crises (and failures). There is a mathematical ceiling on what can be accomplished, and the RNG comes into play too often. I'm not sure what else IMPORTANT I can learn by subjecting myself to it further.

the ball's in your court, Howard.

 		Man, I really hope those asshats over at Reddit dont cause BR and co to frown upon bringing us future games.. Its took a few years for this one to happen and it would really be teh suxor if they decided it wasnt worth the headaches being caused by this..

Just play the friggin game and enjoy the ride,,,... and stop trying to cheat!!

 		Here's the thing - he said he can see she is using the simulation - but really, i think he just means us. Because no one but her is supposed to know it is there, right? And she STILL hasn't responded to him... so he's seeing us and thinks it is her.

 		This whole arg is a total mess of stupidity. The guy whom found the package was lucky he wasnt shot by a neighbor and now they cannot control the program they want us to find leads?
I get this is rushed-they only had about 50 days unlike the original that had 6 months plus lead in. However the story is incredibly boring of crazy howard hoping his daughter will return home to a bunker.zzzzzz.
I'm not a fan.

Yeah, IDK, I guess it could be both: keep playing but please stop hacking the leader board.

I completely hate & am frustrated by all the trolling & hacking that gets instigated by Reddit (and also I suspect the chans & the overlap between them) but it's not like BR are small potatoes. They more than have the bucks to protect & harden their systems from that stuff.

And there's absolutely nothing we good honest players can do to stop assholes from doing what they do.

Security's no joke. It's not 2008 anymore. Peoples lives have come under threat because of simply coming to the attention of the Internet. There has already been a number of times when the PMs have done things that I've just cringed at that could have ended super badly.

When you run an ad on the super bowl, you need to be prepared for all kinda of eyes on your project - and not all of them are going to mean well.

Blaming all of us for breaches in their system, when they didn't start out with a secure system to start out with is shitty. It is literally punishing the best of us for the behavior of the worst of us, over which we have no control.

 		Whoa, guys. Am I the only one who thinks that this is all going according to the storyline, and this isn't a message from BR telling us to back off?

Seriously, when I read the new message, my first thought was "oh, awesome! The anomalous scores and lines were IG after all, and they're telling us to keep on watching the leaderboard to see what cryptic message will pop up next!"

Except we know at least some of them were the result of hacking. And we don't know which for sure. Regardless of anything else, That really muddies the waters.

The way I read the last message was stop the hacking or we are taking it down. They don't want it to come to that because there is no time to waste and the sim is going to teach us something really important. However I'm not sure how we can get that result.
