JEEEEZ, is every ARG this slow-paced? I mean, wasn't this started by the videos? When is the next vid coming out? Is it over?

I don't think it's over. But this certainly is a long hiatus.

Hiatus over! He's writing descriptions of people, and those people are supposed to stand up and claim the descriptions. VERY creepy, disturbing descriptions, too, and he says he's recieved three conformations.

Here's three of five (and the last one's the worst of all)

Quote:
A decent amount of time ago, while under influences not of your own, you caused a severe accident. Rather than take responsibility for your mistake, you fled. You are at least 50% sure that this incident cost someone their life.

For a long time afterwards, you could not get the possibility of being caught out of your mind. It's been long enough now that you feel somewhat comfortable from a legal standpoint, but you still struggle often with the guilt of what you did.

At least one other person knows about the incident (and was about as involved with it as yourself), and you have noticed that it hasn't affected them the same way it has affected you. You find this very disturbing.



Quote:
You have what society considers to be a rather horrible sexual fetish. You use seedy programs to get ahold of material, and you fear your computer breaking - you would have to buy an entirely new one as it would be too risky to get your current one repaired.

There is someone close to you, and while you do your best to hide any evidence, you think they may have seen one or two... incriminating files. They have never said anything to you about it, but occasionally you find them bringing people like you up when reading related news stories around you. You would rather they die than ever hear them tell you what they saw (if they saw it - and they did).



Quote:
You would hurt many, many people if you had the courage. You long to be someone known and feared. You have often made plans of the "perfect kill" mentally, but, after watching and reading a number of stories related to other serial killers, you doubt you have the talents, if you will, to get away with the spree you believe will make you famous.

You're just waiting for the perfect plan... and the perfect opportunity.

Creeeepy!

That last one definitely sounds like a hidden cuber.

Just wondering, did anyone ever get picked to go undercover in the forums for Amaguq? I thought he said he was picking someone like 2 weekends ago.

I asked theembodiement about that and he said

"I've been having trouble with my informant. I think Amaguq found him, disposed of him, and changed the URL for his board. I imagine it's already up and running but I have no way of finding it until I can track the informant back down."

Has anyone been chosen? I don't know, but remember theembodiement said that whoever was chosen cannot reveal themselves.

Well, I asked him before he posted the 5 descriptions in the "He Wants Something" thread. I had told him about the worst thing I ever did (per request) and then asked him about the Amaguq board.

Wow, looks like things are starting to fizzle out over at Happy Cube.

Here's to hoping that things won't end on a sour note AGAIN

Unless this "endsmouth" character turns out to be in game and leading us somewhere, I'd say this ARG is on its last legs. I mean, there was no craigslist post, nobody's posted anything happening, including theembodiment...the endsmouth guy talked about talking to a cashier with "three-to-one" and "alcohol" in the small talk, but...

I believe he's in-game but come on, it's just more "oooh teh wordz, teh wordz ooohh"

Nothing is propelling this story in a rewarding direction. All of the different threads and rituals are turning out to be, in my opinion, dead ends. It's like "the ball gets rolling" on one thread and then BLAM....nothing.

The Amaguq board spy?
The audio file that peepingtom found through the couch image on Craigslist?
The Church Of The Seven?
The Other Union?
The A? Puzzle?
This recent "He Wants Something" thread?

Nothing is becoming solved. Nothing is happening in any form of interactive direction. The few of us still latched onto this are frustrated. There's more questions than answers. Any PM worth his salt would be lurking here. Honestly, just come out and say "it's over" and let us go on to something else. That is if it is indeed over. If this is indeed the "a plan is whispered, it's purpose is to fail"

It's not "They are losing their marbles", it's us.

^^^ I agree completely, but you forgot one:

THE SEVENTH VIDEO

Hasn't this been promised to us for, approximately, a long long time? I mean, come on, they produced six in a pretty short time, these can't be such trials to make and present! Sheesh!

That's true but I didn't mention it because we still had to go through and crack some of the threads (that mentioned Video 7) before we got the actual 7th video. I liken it to playing Monopoly, buying almost all of the properties and then having the banker abruptly quit.

I don't think it's the same goons from Something Awful that picked the game back up. That might be why there's no Video 7. I think there's only one PM. Just from looking at the fake Video 7 that popped up 2 months ago I'd say the videos are not hard to produce even if it might not have looked completely authentic.

I'm going to email this "endsmouth" person and see if he's either in-game or not and milk him for some information. I don't know why but I have this weird feeling that it's either Jamie or Jack Q and he's come out of hiding again. I'll let everyone know what I find out.

I was partcipating in the game when the bonerz fiasco happened so I'm fully aware. I also knew that by playing along again it could come back and bite me in the ass again. My thinking was somebody else had taken over and was trying to make it legit.

But at least do a "LULZ, we totally pwned them again !!!111!!"

This way is sooooooo anti-climatic.
