Interesting. We'll stall, there are far too many unanswered questions to be acting now. Try contacting the lepharigrid and the other email - thats the only way we've connected with Nephiti and Therius.

Sorry, id do more but I'm super busy!

Ugh. I did like 5 emails and stopped.

I don't know. The post is gone now and I didn't save it. Did you? I didn't get around to posting it either.

Did you get to read the entire confession? It sounded like we would have done a good thing (even though we did it for misguided reasons). WTF?

From SH...

Strange. I'm not convinced we should have tuned.

Well I'm not tuning anymore that's for sure! Only 5 emails. I'm hoping that bought us a little time for some more answers.

I think we are getting some answers. But I'm not sure what to believe.

What did the confession say? I missed it.

I dunno, I think Sheoul is done playing games. Maybe so are we?

I wish I had kept it, I hit reload on it and it was gone.

Basically, they were trying to restore the boundary between their dimension and ours. They came up with a ploy to teach humans how to tune in order to wake their King who could restore the boundary.

Well, it was only a little while, and now here we are.

Was it everything you hoped for?

This was my first ARG ever, and I've never played one before. I don't know if I did well. It was short, I know that, but it was never supposed to be very long.

Everyone's opinion?

Well, unfortunately us uf lot are a suspicious bunch! I suppose sometimes if you play the game, you lose!

It was awesome therius! Honestly, your characters were well rounded and yet still flawed, story was strong and compelling! The deceit was subtle enough not to be obvious and I was still suprised by the ending!

Would have liked to learned phaeshull though! Hehe

Well... I wasn't lying when I said I wrote a small english - phaeshull dictionary... No really, I wrote one when we were a little bit into the story. Around about when Sheoul started using it. Razz

Dya want a copy? Razz

Also, thanks!!

And guys. Guess what.

I wrote the creepypasta. I'm not bloody kidding. When that person a page or two back mentioned it and called it infamous, I practically came. I wrote it ONCE on /x/. I didn't realise it spread. Smile s'pose it made a nice change from "ded bort!"

I think the only reason my characters were any is good is the fact I spent all my time writing lol.

Was thinking of making this into a story. People, being dragged into the story of The King. Would make a blockbuster movie.

The story was strong, characters were good and gave up a lot of info.

I don't exactly know what when wrong with the puzzle with the letters.

The puzzles with the numbers are relatively easy to crack since there are a lot of translators available on the web:
http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/ (for binary/decimal/hex ascii)
http://www.nickciske.com/tools/octal.php (for octal)

Nonetheless, I didn't mind doing those puzzles, they're fun to do.

Finally, I like the use of the websites but I think we only managed to find like 2 of them on our own? It would have been interesting to find them all on our own, but I know you probably wanted to move the story along faster. I think if you were patient with us, we could have discovered them and it would have made a funner experience.

But active characters are definitely a plus. Lots of back-and-forth conversation is always good fun. Just wish I knew what was being said most of the time!

I'll take one! Or at least would like to know what was said during the game.

Haha! That story was pretty creepy I have to say! I was looking over my shoulder for an hour after reading it.
