[SPEC] Post-Act breaks? Hey guys!
First off, Thank you SO MUCH to the admins giving us our own sub-forum. That is awesome!
Second, as many of you can tell things have gotten real slow in the realm of nonchalance.
Well, I'm not sure, but it seems to me we are in another Post act break.
To those who are not in the know, the JI experience supposedly will be broken up into four acts:
ACT 1 : "The Initiation"
Post-Act event: "St. Thaddeus"
ACT 2 : "Welcome to Elsewhere Public Works" or "Transaction and Action"
Post-Act event: Dream Patent Registration
ACT 3 : ???
ACT 4 : ???
I think maybe we should be seeing some action happening shortly. Because, the 1 year anniversary of the opening of the Jejune Institute is approaching (i believe, I just don't know the exact date).
Anyone agree/disagree? Should we become a bit more proactive? Or is our regular flier/sticker posting good enough?

How do we know there are four acts?
Also, what was the "St. Thaddeus" event?

Sorry, I'll probably make a thread of all of the happenings so far.
But the "St. Thaddeus" event was after the JI website was first put up.
Lets rewind to October of last year:
After finishing the initiation and finding the login code a timer appeared. The timer counted down to sometime in November. Screen is below
So, after some snooping, we found that there was a church located in SF called the shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus. There we found symbols located all over the lot. Finally, next to the church, we found the unmason brick and a small box full of items of nonchalance. (small knicknacks)
Again, the items may or may not have had an important significance to the lore of Nonchalance, but more as a fun little "extra" for those of us who were waiting for the next act to begin.
As the idea of four acts? Well, at the beginning we had some sparse contact with the supposed PM of this experience, and he hinted towards four possible acts.

inside the box was a VHS tape of the 'miracle of St. Thaddeus ' which showed the figure of Thaddeus in the church wherein a flame suddenly appeared above his head and then disappeared. a theory is that this might be a memory extracted from Eva using the memory to media centers technology.
also another post-act event for Act 2 was the 'Action' JI protest. that's when it was hinted to me there would be 4 acts.

Found a video of what I missed on YouTube.
Not sure if this is a spoiler or not, but just to be safe:

Spoiler tags are traditionally for puzzle solves (so people who want to try to work the puzzle themselves can do so) and for movie/tv/book plots (for folks who haven't seen the show or read the book yet).
If there is no way for someone to find the video or the page link without opening the spoiler, then it doesn't need the spoiler tag.
You might want to tell us how you found it, though.

Well, this happened a little while ago. We unearthed a shoebox next to a catholic church towards the beginning of the experience. Inside the box was a video tape that had the youtube video on it. So, we went to put it on youtube, but right before we did the PM's decided to post it on the account.
So now its for everyone's eyes.

Since the game is still in progress, it's impossible to know with any certainty what's a spoiler and what isn't. I'm just erring on the side of safety here.

If there is no way for anyone to find what you are posting without opening the spoiler box (i.e. "The video is posted here") then don't spoiler it.
On the other hand, you are working on a puzzle that will lead to the URL for the video, you post the puzzle then spoiler the method you used to solve it and the final result.
