SAME. But it's all smooth now, so IDK about tonight, but hopefully soon.


Glad I'm not the only one who saw it. The last time it did that to me there was an update posted overnight . I do think Denise will ask for more information before she takes to posting anything there (if she does at all)


Wasn't there some code discussion about Megan's present password- that it wouldn't lead anywhere as the code was written? I was thinking that they might have to change the code make a password work properly to give a response- maybe they are doing that.

Hello, just checking in. Nothing new to report but now I finally have a chance to catch up on what everyone else has been talking about!

EDIT Thank you all for your support and to Cherry, ObFuSc8 and anyone else for making sure that the info made it over to /u/tinybonzai on reddit, and thank you pixiestix for keeping the Story So Far updated.

I was rereading through the conversation and this stuck out to me "This is not the first time Howard has convinced others to do his dirty work of harassing my family." I don't think we are meant to read to much into the reply's but what do you suppose this would be in reference to? It's clear that Howard and Denise have some serious issues, but his having other people harassing her family seems out of character.

I think Denise has gone to bed for the night. Hopefully more updates Monday.
Thanks again, v37, for playing this out so nicely.

Do you think she's naming one of her people "Howard" & killing him off abruptly (after making him suffer through work & rationing of course)?
Evil or Very Mad Wink

You know, it should be extremely simple - since Denise has already accessed the FAPT website - to convince her to either search the journal or provide its contents to you/us so we can figure out how to get past the "secret gift" question.


I'm waiting for Denise to start writing back to Howard on the site. :3

I'm also glad that this is happening here on UnF. It's easier to follow than Reddit and its comment system. Smile


After finally getting caught back up (curse you, IRL stuff! Raspberry ), and being totally excited that Danny/v37 has gotten Mama Stambler to answer the queries...

"I'm also glad that this is happening here on UnF."

Just betwixt vous and moi, I'd opine mayhaps that's our 'reward' for playing by the PMs rules all this time - we didn't hack, rumormonger or trollolloll the ARG parameters the way other groups did (and we'll leave the entire brouhaha around the 'telephone DD' chaos as it's own sad saga). Now, we wait to see what Denise has to say next...and whether or not she'll tell us all what's happened to Megan. Confused

Awesome progress! I also suppose, she has to give in Megans birthday gift as password (she will know), and

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
my hypothesis for the ARG showdown will be - a chat between Howard and Denise. Perhaps even in a live mode (if we will be lucky to go there at the right time). But it will be still there also days (or months) after, so "don't be hasty". And this could mean the end of the ARG, perhaps on 10th March.

I hope there will me further developments though.

Why I like the Reddit folks - They will try to entertain wild theories and those can be fun to read -- no one tosses trouts around and no one's wary of anyone playing along in the game --- BUT, they're too chaotic to be trusted with information and disseminating it to the other players in a way that gives a sense of what's happening if you miss a day checking in on things.

Why I like the uF. I can lurk, and throw out ideas to try -- and it's organized.
I have a feeling the next reveal is coming in the next 48 hours and will involve going to Denise's 'apartment' for the prize. Smile

I don't want to be so self congratulating about ourselves that I think this is our reward necessarily, but I do think they wanted to be able to control this a bit and play with an Unfiction user this time - after all, Reddit and Discord each got their time in the sun. It is our turn now. It seems very a very congenial choice.

And V37 is responding with such kindness and gentleness, and empathy. I can see why they chose him.

I have noticed how over time so many Reddit users have slowly straggled over to this board, especially now that the sub has turned into a land of Trolls and Spoilers.

Well, welcome all, I guess!

Thanx for the welcome. There seems to be ALOT less drama here. I have been bouncing back and forth from the different mediums trying stay as current as possible. There is so much info that it can't be contained in just on community.

Ha, thank you. It's because I'm a giant beanbag of emotion Razz

Update - Nothing to report. Now I am off to work yay... Will continue checking frequently but there may cause a slight delay in reporting. Have a great day / afternoon / night everyone!

And now we have a last name...
...and I bow out of the spotlight.

Hello,

So I just got to work and had a chance to check my email and found this bomb:

Denise Paulson (March 7 at 7:17AM)
Quote:
I was up all night reading and re-reading everything he wrote. All of it--the ranting and the raving about how evil I am, the page where he shows off how to steal a car. The constant questions to Megan, as if she would or could reply. The simulation "game." I'm very familiar with the kids of games Howard likes to play. He used to wake us up in the middle of the night to do emergency preparedness drills.

Howard was always worried about emergencies. I used to think it was just how he'd learned to see the world from when he was in the Navy. But things got so much worse when he started working at Bold Futura. He used to come home at night and sit through dinner without saying a word. He became obsessed with building his fallout shelter, putting all our money into it. I didn't even think he'd mind too much when we left. That way he could keep building his bunker without anybody to get in his way. But reading everything you've shown me on this site. I can see that it's just made him more obsessed.

This is not the first time he's done this. Every few years there's some new danger that's going to kill us all. But the disaster never happens. And then he just finds something else to obsess about. During one of his panics, he made us hide in the cellar. Megan must have been about 11, and she wouldn't stop asking him why we were hiding. So he put his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet, and kept it there so long that she couldn't breathe. That was the moment I knew that I needed to get us away from him. Maybe if I'd realized it sooner, things wouldn't have turned out so badly.

Danny, thank you so much for showing me this. Please don't take this the wrong way, but don't contact me again. I have to figure out what I"m going to do about this, and how to best take care of myself.

Thank you and keep safe,
Denise Paulson


Me (March 7 at 8:20AM)

Hello Denise Paulson,

I just got to work and saw your email. I know you said not to contact you again but I wanted to say goodbye. Things weren't great with my Dad for my mom and me when I was growing up but it was nowhere near as bad as the situation you described. I have no idea what happened in the end between the three of you but it sounds like it must have been awful. Please be careful whatever you decide and know that you can reach out in the future if you ever need to.

Respectfully,

Danny (v37)


Soooooooooo keep your eyes on FAPT is my guess Shocked

PS - It would be awesome if someone could share with reddit again, I really need to go clock in Razz
