My vote is idiots from SA hacking.



If that's the case, tell'em to open the test board.


Otherwise, well played pranksters.

It was three guys over at SA who were the PMs. People over there pretty much figured out they were behind it and were calling them out on it, so they threw in the towel. Looks like not really a prank so much as a small ARG, but now that the curtain is pulled back they're done

Waitwaiwait?!

So that's it?! I've been lurking for days, reading threads, essentially wasting my time?!

That's pretty depressing. Meh.

Jeeeeez. That's pretty depressing, as a prank I mean. You know, they should have released the 7th video, let it play like a normal video, then at the very end instead of faces, a big picture of some guy mooning us or something, with HAHA J/K LOSERS or something.

As it is, it's sort of fallen flat, both as a story and as a prank. Too soon...they busted it open too soon...

I was a bit miffed at first, but soon it occured to me that, actually, 'twas a top quality prank and has kept me amused for days when I'd otherwise have been stressed about events in reality. In that case, hats off to the pranksters, and maybe I'll look into some real ARGs in the near future...

It apparently got cut off so soon because the PMs were bored.

Well, now I guess I lurk around here until another creepyfun ARG comes along.

Most of them don't end up being jerks dicking around, right?

They took a lot of potential for an interesting game and threw it all away. How does this work as a prank if we thought it was a game? It's odd to me because i would think that creating a story, making 5 videos, fielding questions on a forum nonstop and then just recently concocting a player event would take a lot of effort on their part just to turn it around and say it was a prank. Congrats to them though...on something.
