 		 Don't waste your questions!
I cannot stress this enough. We only get one question each and we have to make them count. Here are some questions to ask: What do you know about the Robert/Liz/Josh storyline. What is his opinion on them wanting to know where he is so bad. Is he worried for Tina's safety or does he not care about her. If that isn't his number than what is up with all the pages directly relating to him. It has his picture and everything. What have he and Heyzeus been talking about, and I know for a fact they have as I've interrupted a few of their conversations before. What does he think will happen on the 13th? What ever happened to Mr. Grey? If that is your web page than why did you lie about your age?

Edit: Thank you Paul for the relevant question!

 		Ok I'm talking to my source now and am filling him in on the latest developments
so have you been going through the newest sites for more clues to Mikes Identity?

Update time: Mike is denying having anything to with the website we found. Josh is sleeping and I assume Robert is dead or taking care of Liz somewhere. They're both out for the night. Heyzeus hasn't done anything since he shifted his friends list. All the goons are arguing about what to do with the phone number we got but cannot come to an agreement yet. Like always we need more info that only Mike can give us

Spoilers ahead New theory: Mike, heyzeus and Robert ARE three different
people but it's assumed Robert is also the person behind Liz and Josh's characters. Liz is alive and kicking, well was. I'm still going with the Satanic ritual sub theme to all this. We now know where mike lives and works and that he'd go to Canada to go skiing. All the goons are really taking hold of this so Mike has kicked it up a notch with all the runarounds.

There is a temporary lull that I'll try to use to do some more research on my own but I'll update the forum as soon as I hear anything. until this is solved I'm going to sleep less than coffee eating Hezeus!

 		So if Mike makes somewhat regular trips to Canada to ski, it would be possible that Mike and HeyZeus know each other and Mike is just is just trying to throw people off of that. Just a bit of a theory.

It is becoming obvious that the Puppet Master is just using Mike's picture and name to mess with us. I wish it wasn't true but I'm starting to feel otherwise. What really worries me is the fact the Mike is using real people and places to convince us this is real. On this very site is discussion about how you have to get the permission from the business to use them in an ARG or else you could end up getting sued. So either mike is using his actual job for the location and McGee's info for his bio. or he actually is Mike Mcgee and is using someone else's information to derive his answers. I don't know 100% at this point so like always I'm at the mercy of Mike.

 		Shocked Er, calm down man. By the sounds of it, you're angry because you've spent so much time looking into things voluntarily, and now you're pissed that the story isn't going the way you want it.

Maybe you just need to take a breather and come back to help with the finale(which I'm assuming is Friday).


Here's my interpretation of things (not terribly different from yours, but I think we need a summary that's easier to read):
Quote:

James reads an evil book from an occult group he belongs to and in turn is possessed by a demon, let's refer to this demon as Qernz (for obvious reasons), James fights the possession at first but eventually gives in.

When Mike confronts James, Qernz sees an opportunity to take a stronger host (James was a heroin addict after all). Qernz takes control of Mike and kills James. After this Mike goes on his cross country killing spree.

I'm assuming at some point during Mike decides to go to Canada using a ski trip as an alibi when in reality Qernz wanted to have a servant to help him in summoning the gate to the demonic realm. This is where HeyZeus comes into the picture. Qernz performs some sort of rite and has Zeus' body possessed by a servant demon.

Also during this time it's safe to say that Mike had to perform murders in specific areas as part of the summoning ritual.

While the killings are taking place, Robert, a member of the same occult group James belonged to begins to realize that someone is attempting to perform the summoning. He enlists Liz and a reluctant Josh to his cause. It's still not known whether or not Robert has the intention to prevent the summoning or take Qernz/Zeus out of the picture so that he can have their power for himself.

Mike finally settles down in Kansas, and Qernz goes into hiding. The closer the one year mark of James' murder comes, Qernz takes greater control over Mike, same goes for Zeus' demon. Zeus' demon begins to kill as it gains strength, this is presumably to gather souls or whatnot to speed up the summoning (or just to make it happen in the first place). While Zeus continues to kill, the human soul in the body begins to lose his mind and eventually gives in to the demon.

Finally Robert begins acting stranger as his personal quest to interfere with the summoning takes over his life, Liz joins him in this. Josh, who has been somewhat left out of the loop, becomes paranoid about Robert's intentions and accidentally kills Liz. The question at this point is, does Josh side with Robert's shady motives or does he join up with Mike and Zeus who are apparently completely evil?


I know I missed a lot of details, but regardless I hope this helps to clear up some of the more confusing twists this story has taken.

Edit: New HeyZeus blog:

Quote:
...

It is in the darkest hours we come to you now, foes are being routed, allies are strenghtening alliances, weep not for those that pass, they are not gone.

You may know us as Fysmo, it is our duty to serve as a means to the end, to put an end to the foes, and to prove that our actions are greater than your words.

The time draws ever closer and the mortal within this shell is as much part of us as we are of him. Rejoice.

 		Re: C'mon now WTF

I don't care how long Mike has been working on this story. He's pissing me off. I can understand plot twists as much as the next guy but seriously, WTF! This story is getting out of control and flying off of a cliff, in flames! Mike is a normal guy stuck in a bad spot. No wait now he's evil and loves killing. Oh wait, now he's settled down. Oh wait, now he's getting strange messages, poor Mike. Oh wait, now he's evil again. Oh wait, now Heyzeues is evil. Oh wait, he's just some poor confused guy. Oh wait, now here comes Robert and he's an evil cult leader. Oh wait, poor lizzie has gone missing. Oh wait (are you getting tired of this yet), Rob just wants to help. Oh wait, Josh thinks he's evil. Oh wait(last time I swear) they have a meeting and, OMG, Josh kills liz. Robert is actualy the good guy trying to stop evil Heyzeus and EvilMike from Getting a gay marrage that will bring the end of the world! Are you serious? What the hell is going on now? How many of us have called bullsh!t to this story so far? At least half of you, am I right? Mike needs to get his head out of his ass and stop trying to be all Badass McRiddlepants and get to the point already.

Here's what I understand so far. Evilmike is a being of pure thought from another dimension, stay with me here, and he needs to complete the ritual to open the path for his fellow demons to come through, I shit you not. James read a passage from a holy text that makes him the vessel of the being. He killed his friends then Mike killed him and became the new vessel. Robert also worked with the cult but he was a spy trying to stop the summoning. Josh was just along for the ride. But got scared when people started to die. Each week at the group someone has to read a text - scripture, a book, a poem, shit like that. last week jakob read a piece but stopped before the end. he stared blankly at the text for a few moments before walking from the hall. he was found dead - overdose - at his home a few hours later. jesse decker volunteered to read the text again, hoping to finish it at this weeks meeting. having not went, i don't know what happened. The same thing happened to James. When Mike killed James the spirit passed to Mike. Mike then went on a country wide killing spree for no real reason, maybe to get power ups like Mega man or something. Robert wants to know where Mike is to stop him, or kill him or worship him I don't know anymore. Mike and Heyzeus must finish the task of killing people horribly to appease some requirement to open the Gate to another distension. And not the HFIL one from DBZ, the one from DOOM3. So far there is nothing we can do to change the outcome no matter how much we interfere. At least that's what EvilMike and Heyzeus want us to think. This thing is going to continue on the linear path until the end. Just like a badly written RPG, even if you somehow kill the Main boss in the first fight you still lose. I've tried since the beginning to turn the tide of this ARG toward something slightly less asinine but Mike is determined to make this a dopy hack fest, written by a nine year old Emo who's played to much Silent hill. I'm done pandering to that ungrateful whiner Mike and am going to delete everything I've accomplished to protest what he's done to this story. It's no longer worth the... let's see... 57 hours of my life I've put into the constant monitoring and updates of this site if he's not going to show me an ounce of respect. To everyone who I've brought into this, I'm sorry for wasting your time. And to those who have helped me these last few days, I told you I might leave if this happened. i'll send you all the info I've gathered over these last few days so that you can continue on if you so choose. But as for me, I'll give It one more day to pan out then I'm done with it.
Before you delete all your findings, why not wait until the game is supposed to actually start? The anniversary isn't until Saturday, and I'll bet you anything that everything will either be answered then, or that things will at least start to make more sense once the important events take place.

Give it time.

Well this shitty ARG is very addictive. That, and apparently I'm an insomniac.

 		 One last post.
Before I go.
Now that I've put out everything that I've worked on the forums I'm confident that you guys can take over from here. I'm going on a break and might take a vacation after this whole ordeal. I wish you guys the best of luck and I hope I'll find a great story when I return. I changed my other rants so that future generations aren't put off by my outburst. Keep up the good work! Namaste.

 		Well man, maybe it's for the best you gave up, seems you just got a little too into the game for your own good. Regardless, you were a big help in helping people stay up to date with all the bizarre changes in the story, here's hoping you can get stuff straightened out with your girlfriend and other friends.

Oh, what's this? Looks like The Observer might be trying to get in on this, too.

The Observer is Jesse Liu, at this point who the hell knows who's in the game and who isn't.

Oh, and what's that jazz about the game just starting? If this is only the beginning then Shocked

Here is all I know
Current mood: depressed

Well, I have slept and had time to compose my thoughts. I'll try and keep my spelling and grammar as good as possible for the length of this post.

I left early to have a quick scout about where I was to meet Rob, just to be sure it wasn't some sort of trap. I walked along under the bridge, through the tunnel which is there where I bumped into Rob - seems he turned up early too. I'll admit, it wasn't the best place to meet him. It wasn't in public like I had originally hoped.

We talked for a long time. He described to me what he was trying to accomplish. He has found out about some Summoning - a ritual to bring some mmalevolent being to the world. For all that he talked of it, he seemed to know very little about it to be honest. He described how he had become obsessed with various books about the ritual but was never able to carry it out correctly because he was, and I quote "not being instructed as to how to connect the five points".

Anyway, time passed and he continued to study the ritual, moving onto the internet for more information. He eventually stumbled across this Mike character (he was searching for a Mike he knew, but stumbled across this one instead apparently). Rob believed Mike was being "given instruction" as to how to complete the Summoning. Rob was angry - he had studied the Summoning for so long yet now someone who seemed to know little about it was getting closer and closer to pulling it off.

He got the three of us together, Rob, Liz and I, with the hope of travelling to the US to stop him - if Rob couldn't do the ritual, no one could. He told Liz about it. She was reluctant at first but was soon swayed to help Rob. I wasn't so easy apparently.

At this point, I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder - a knife. I was unable to do anything at first. I was taken by surprise. Rob grinned (actually the first time I have ever seen him grin) and told me that I knew too much and had to be "removed".

I reach inside my coat and grab my heavy flashlight and swing behind me, hitting the attacker square in the side of the head. She fell to the ground. It was Liz. I turned back to Rob, who now was also brandishing a blade. I brought it downwards - down my chest. I pulled back so it didn't go too deep. I swing at Rob, hitting him on the hands and disarming him of the knife. I then swing and hit him on the top of the head. He falls to the ground. I turn to look at Liz. She's not moving. What have I done?

I dropped to my knees over Liz. She was bleeding quite a bit. Then I realize Robert is back on his feet and running but I don't care at this point. Its all gone too far. I crouch there for what seems like forever. I didn't help her - I should have helped her. I hear footsteps coming down the pavement towards the tunnel.

I couldn't stay so I ran.

Whatever happens, I don't think I can help anymore. Robert will probably make his way to the US. I don't know what's happened to Lizzy yet - there's been nothing on the news. This is too much. What have I done?

--------------------------


Mr E also has a theory that Rob is Harry Grey.

"This scenario matches the outline of the movies. The running in the dark. The hurt hand. The witch video was him describing the summoning. Rob, or another power connected to rob, is Mr Grey. Just a guess."


I'm not so sure.

I thought we may have had to help Rob, now we seem to have to stop them both.

I'm still not convinced that Robert is Harry Grey, Robert is in the UK right?

Maybe we should look through the videos again for evidence that they were filmed there (Cars driving in the opposite sides of those in North America, big license plates, street signs, basically anything that would be a dead give away of which continent the videos originated).

Regardless, Robert doesn't seem to be the good guy he wanted people to believe, it also now appears that Josh is out of the picture, and it's not quite clear what happened with Liz (she may be dead, or she may be headed to the states with Rob).

It looks like things are reaching a boiling point now, I'm very curious as to what happens next.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: While browsing Myspace I noticed that Mr. E had a website showing various cap sites, I'm assuming he was trying to pinpoint Zeus' location after Zeus mentioned making a post from a cap site.

What's interesting is that all the locations Mr.E seemed to be looking at are all in Nova Scotia. I've attached a map of all Canadian CAP sites, there seem to be a lot, so I'm curious as to why Mr.E picked out Nova Scotian ones in particular. Considering how much work he's put into things I find it hard to believe that he'd pick an arbitrary location.
