Hello, this was a double-post. It shall therefore be substituted with a haiku:

Hidden Videos
Cryptic Morse code will reveal
When shit hits the fan

Thank you.

look. i know we all want them to acknowledge the hidden videos. we're worried about them and we want them to know that we see weird things happening to them.

but people have been bothering them about it for a LONG time. at this point, trying to get them to "see the light," so to type, might just backfire on us and result in the boys becoming more paranoid. it's stupid to deny that the videos exist so vehemently, yes, but they're unbelievably stressed out right now. they don't need us harping on them right now. when they are supposed to know about them, they will.

we have to be patient.


id love to just wait raven, but heres the thing. people are DIEING. ryans one. jessa, two. we ALMOST lost alex. i mean, we wait any longer and alex is gonna wake up with a box on his bed containing his brothers HEAD.
what im trying to say here is this raven: we can wait, thats fine. but how long do we wait before something is done, and at what cost do we wait that long.


we're just text on the internet. they don't have to believe us. and from what i can see, trying to get them to believe us about this may just wind up distracting them from something bigger and more immediately threatening.

I don't see why the barricade thing is such an issue anyway. If slendy or rake or any supernatural entity here has the power to wipe mids or alter memories AND/OR perception; and does so freely; why wouldn't it do that to any parents or relatives in the jeff/alex household?
as for continuity errors, this could explain them as well. (though this specificity is unlikely because evan/vince pointed out that alex pretends they're still around).
i don't think this explanation was clumsy at all, i think we've retracted a bit of our disbelief, which isn't fair to the storytellers XD

Bravo. I think that actually sums it up quite well.
Due to elementary school, I always feel the need to clap out the syllables in haikus.

Uploading them independently and showing them the link hasn't worked in the past, if I remember correctly. It just seems like there's nothing we can do right now about the videos.


QFT. Honestly it's getting exhausting watching you guys stress out about it, ha ha.

THIS.

If the guys were meant to have seen it, they would've seen it by now. They can't see it for a REASON, a legitimate PLOT REASON.

Don't try shoving something on them that they aren't meant, in game, to see. Let it go, guys.

Damn... Evan is the cooler Hibryd. Even with the cleave in their hand.

I tried to watch the archived stream, but wasn't able to. From the wikia resumed version and I find one odd thing with Jeff and Alex living by themselves: On "Alex" From 1:31 to 1:35, there is an old man asking "who is there?" 2 times.

If that one is not their dad, who he is?

Well, considering that according to Vinnie in the latest Ustream, Jeff and Alex's parents have just died....

I remember them addressing this in the livestream last night. One of them said something to the effect of "clicking all these links and getting 404s". So I agree, no amount of "HAY GUYZ LOOKIT THIS" is going to overcome that until the time is "right".

It might be another member of the family who's a tutor but doesn't live with them all the time.

But to be honest that scene was half the reason behind my Alex-and-Jeff's-parents-are-bad-we'll-tell-people-they're-dead-so-they'll-stop-asking theory.

To be more serious, anyway, it might have been Jeff.

Actually, he said they've been dead for a while.

I'm personally of the same mind as many of you -- they're either living with grandparents or aunts/uncles, or other family members are dropping by to check on them fairly frequently.

This is the first ARG I've followed since the Lost Experience (and the first wee bit of Cloverfield). Are there any other notable instances of PMs introducing information that looks like it should be brought to their attention but then refuse to acknowledge it IG until the right plot beat rolls around?

It's a pretty cool idea, and I'm just wondering if there's a precedent for it. In theory, I can see how it would work to build suspense among the players, wondering just when the boys'll finally see the words videos and what awesomeness will follow from that. In practice, I'm feeling it's more like a back-burner issue, something that'll come around in its own time, and as we've seen today other people are finding it kind of frustrating. It's still pretty damned cool, though. Smile

I'm trying to remember from Metacortechs if something like this ever happened. I do recall them saying that the answering machine they set up for Elizabeth, who works there, got around a hundred and fifty calls of people impersonating Keanu Reeves.
