Yeah, I'm so lost anymore. I mean, so much of the story has shifted to facebook, it's kinda hard to keep track of. It seems like so much of the story is being told, not shown, too. I mean, the entire first 50+ episodes are worthless, now. What was the point if they were going to kill off the whole cast(minus people without faces/names)? I wish Josh had actually gotten a death video, at the very least. If you pay attention only to Youtube/Twitter, you wouldn't even know they are dead. That's kinda a major plot point.

So do we know for sure that Josh/Dweller are dead? If so, is Josh "physically dead" or is his mind dead while his body is still technically alive?

Also is Austin dead or just possessed by Baghead? And did they ever say who it was that wrote those "tell me one reason why I shouldn't kill him" tweets or who was in the seizure bag?

If they are all truly dead then the series is essentially over isn't it? Unless Josh is still alive somehow or the new guy is going to become the new main character or something...

I honestly don't mind them telling stuff. For one, you've got to understand that they can't show everything. They're 16 and have no budget at all so they've had to resort to other means to convey certain plot points. I personally can understand where they're coming from. Also, this is an ARG.
An ARG implies that to understand the story you have to put in effort.

They've clearly outlined accounts to follow and sites that are important since the beginning and really if you haven't put in half an ass cheek worth of effort into following it, it isn't the PM's fault. And they more or less DID give Josh a death video. It doesn't look like one, but that's how I understand it. And honestly the Facebook has carried half the story since the beginning. It was obviously meant to be an interactive tale. A lot of the videos I see you guys complaining about are the direct result of audience interaction.

You can't expect to come into an ARG this close to endgame (pretty sure we're getting there) and not follow all of its facets but still expect the same fun others are having with it. That applies to all of the series out there. Put a bit of effort in and you'll get your payoff.

yeah, i'm pretty sure we're in endgame... we even have a date for the showdown (4/9) although we don't have a time. even so, i will continue to put things up on the wiki as and when i can --- stripping out all personal information and reformatting for the wiki is a frustratingly slow process. but i will get everything i can up, for anyone who wants to revisit this ARG after the fact.

Okay can someone link me to the facebook? I can't find Josh Rallus or this Emet Rotter person on FB.

The tweets sound like Stephen. We never were told what happened to him, right?
