Making the OP a violation of TOS, right? Way to bridge the gap between us SN.
To be fair, I don't know if it'd be a breach of SN's TOS. Doctor and Jon wouldn't have necessarily guessed that their forumgoers would say "Boy, this is tough - we need the help of those sexy geniuses at unfiction to solve this one!"

SN do seriously lose points for not grasping it was an ARG from the start though, considering that the codes and videos and operator symbols sort of screamed "Slendy ARG" from the moment they started appearing.

 		Vivi was not in the loop over what was going on, so I don't think that would make her a violation. In fact, she just left SN over it.

Ah man, you are SO unlucky - I allocated all my internets for the next week to someone else already. You can have all this win I found though...

Yeah. Basically the PMs on this never posted to UF about it, and those who did at most seemed to want to discount the possibility that this was an actual hacking by an UF member taking the whole ARG thing too far.

Wait.

You mean there were people on SN who seriously, for reals, thought that the whole Paragon thing wasn't an ARG?

I prescribe large doses of outside and fresh air all round.


Not just that, I guess/think that said guy also is Jonclubs.

The best though was they first thought that it was us Laughing like, as if we didn't have any other things to do than just force SN into going down and then even thought it was Jeff. Laughing

It's just amazing, how these guys all of a sudden think SOMEBODY might want to force them to go down, because they are... I dunno, controversial?? Laughing

No, he was in on it - he posted a thread on SN apologising about it. But some of the people replying have made it clear that they didn't think it was all a game.

 		Just a quick thought:

Why did they use HYBRID as a password knowing it would cause trouble for us lot?

 		Haha, if I'd be not so damn stoic, I would now have a hysterical laughing fit.

So jonclubsguy posts he's really enraged and that he'll kill whoever is responsible and that he's had enough of the Judge, THEN comes out and says he was doing the puzzle designs/editing for it and was in on it all along!!

Quote:
Let me begin by pointing out that all traces of Paragon and the ARG associated with him have been removed from this forum permanently, except for threads which will shortly be archived.

The Doctor was Paragon. I was pulling the strings behind the scenes of this ARG, doing such work as video editing and puzzle design.

The reactions we have seen to this game were nothing like The Doctor and I suspected, not in the least. We designed this as a fun and entertaining diversion for the members of the forum. We meant no harm. It came as an enormous and crippling shock to us to learn that some people had taken this game deeply to heart and were emotionally distressed by it. This was not what we wanted, or what we foresaw, in any way.

You have, if you feel any room or any need for them, my deepest apologies. Two or three of you have brought me near tears personally within the last half hour due to your reactions to this news. Understand that I never wanted to hurt anyone. I never wanted to lose anyones trust or friendship. When I read posts today indicating the depth of pain that some people felt over this game, I called The Doctor immediately and said, "I refuse to be a part of this any more". For his part, I am sure he will speak for himself when he is able, but he did ask me to share his apologies as well, and I know from planning with him, that he did not intend any harm either.

Had we had known that there was such danger of personal anguish from this trivial exercise, we would never have set it in motion. Now that it has occurred, there is no room to say "but it was only a game". It was only a game, ever bit of it. Paragon was played by Doc, and my fight with him was playacting. the entire forum was rigged to present the illusion of the loss of power by the staff, factually speaking it was only a game. Nothing more.

But that does not offer a valid excuse, and there is not one. You will assuredly think us callous, unobservant and hilariously ignorant for not recognizing the implications when we began, but this is the honest truth. Perhaps we are that foolish, that overly lighthearted or naive.

For what it is worth, I am most sincerely sorry that it ever happened at all.

-Satyr


I mean, the irony of this... The damn irony of this... Laughing Laughing

I mean, you sort of have to tell certain people you fake this, like the mods and the admins, and have them go along and all. Really sad this didn't happen here, if it did, it would have been the most awesome ARG at the moment.
EDIT: Looks like they called at least one mod and told them the site got hacked IRL. Oh boy... Can understand now why people got pissed. Whoever now steals the idea for our forum, please be sure to not eff with people.

Sorry for double post, but somehow it took me way too long to realize this: the password is hybrid. As in EverymanHYBRID.

Yeah, Unfiction has to be involved somehow.


Glad to see that the Lithping One didn't let any lingering hard feelings drive his choice of password in an attempt to cause bad blood between Slendernation/Jonclubs fans and Unfiction/EMH fans.

I am insulted. If we were involved, the password would not of been "hybrid". We're genius nerds, damn it. We can come up with passwords that don't immediately lead them to us! Like swordfish! Evil or Very Mad
