Yeah, I think this thing is pretty much done with. Either theembodiment is doing something huge, has to deal with some crap in real life, or (most likely) just got bored and gave up.

I thought for awhile about posting a few fake messages on Craigslist just to see what would happen Laughing At least it would have left a few people in Indiana scratching their heads.

One of the major things that attracted me to this was the fact that many of the events were happening in my own state, thus the potential was there that I could be a big part of it. No such luck.

Excellent.

The fact that endsmouth is taking it over leaves a lot to be desired. I mean, we still don't know what happened to the embodiment. And his syntax is horrible ;p.

Curiouser and curiouser LOL

Hopefully this new PM will have his shit together. If not, I'm bailing on this for good.

barbarossa had a AIM chat with him and will be sending me their log to post here.

Good news, everyone! We have a delivery to a world run by constantly shifting PM's.

OK, I got some info about endsmouth. There's also a MySpace page he mentions in his chat at

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=177062476

The contents of his and barbarossa's AIM chat are on this attached file. I figure I'd do that so it won't take up to much thread space because of it's legnth.

The short of it is just that he is a homeless kid hitchhiking around the states with a laptop ( he mentioned he's waiting for his dad to die so he can get money). He stops at hotels along the way to steal wifi. He wants to take over the game and use it to end the world. He claims he is a terrorist.

He is convinced this is all real by the very property that if people think something is real it becomes so. He has a tape a Native American man gave him and he's going to go listen to it at a Toys R Us in a bigger town near where he is right now.


EDIT: I Googled the SSN 601-02-6389 and found the following links. Also, the SSN is active and was issued in Arizona. Anyone know of a way to check who the SSN without having to pony up 40 - 50 bucks.

I haven't done any major snooping around but his whole "i am taking control of the reigns shortly. may 30th, all shall congregate in ritual to summon powers to Pazzuzu, blah blah blah" has been been in posted in delicious copypasta on those links.

If anyone cares, it's my theory that the game has been run by someone other than the SomethingAwful crew. And they're not quite clear on how to move forward, and haven't been for a while. If you've noticed, certain subtle qualities about the writing are different (and less frequent). Most damningly, the videos - what kept a lot of us paying attention for a while - have been disturbingly absent, whereas previously there was one or two new ones a week.

I've just found the whole thing a little tedious and very difficult to really follow. I'll keep checking back here every now and then.

Dude, there's not going to be anymore videos. If there are I'll eat my hat. Seriously, there's something like 4 people following this thing now with soon to be 3 unless things start happening and I mean NOW. It started as a hoax (yes it was a fucking hoax no matter which way you slice it) then somebody else took over and, on the surface, looked like it was going to be made into a legit game. Not that person has vanished without a trace and won't respond to anyone's PM's.

Aaaaaannnddd nnnooowww we have this kid who wants to take over but is using the same BS of rituals and "teh wordz" that it's boring and isn't perking any interest. New guy is setting up some ARG-like clues with these AIM chats and those MySpace links, but I cannot be arsed to even attempt to put it together by myself. And by the looks of it noone else is being arsed either and I don't blame them.

Honestly, how is this THING even salvagable at this point? How can this THING all be tied up into a cohesive and coherant story? It's shot off and wandered into some many different and stupid directions that it's pointless at this point to even try.

The only positive thing that I have gotten out of this whole experience is that it's introduced me to the ARG world, the Unfiction forums, and have met some really decent people who don't deserve to jerked around in this manner.

Honestly I think this guy is just trying to use theembodiment's absence as an excuse for some gamejacking.

So, it's may 30th, and again, no dice. Should we write this guy off, as well?

I'm calling "Now completely dead". And this should be the last post ever on this topic.

Lo and behold, we have a new twist. It seems that Dazeytweeter was the spy sent to the amaguq boards. Even if this "New generation of cubers" doesn't come to fruition, maybe some hope might finally be appropriate.

Can someone please explain what the hell just happened??? My first thought was that Dazeytweeter was told to post that on the board by the embodient, or Dazeytweeter was in it all along!!!! But that seems too crazy. Oooor the embodiment got ahold of Dazeytweeter's account and is using it! Ahh im so confused! I thought we could trust you Dazeytweeter!
