We need to help Chris fake his own death to save his life. Maybe do a bit of tweets to him that DNC can see telling him we are tired of seeing him and wish he would just kill himself. Give a bit of build up then a staged suicide video from Chris? We don't necessarily need to kill him outright if we are still the instruments of his death.

Honestly, knowing Chris he would screw it up...

That actually sounds like a good idea! (also it would be some fun interaction/a bit more ARGy) But yea, Chris would screw it up I'm sure, or DNC would figure it out or something...

OOG:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Also since this game is very streamlined it probably won't happen since the players who only watch the YT videos would think Chris actually WAS dead, and if Chris explained it would ruin the plan.

I think this does not work well ... I do not know ... I have clear that here is a people doing a job and that, for reasons of follow in general and specifically economic, staggers their project ... if it has been standing this time is the lack of response from followers, it makes no sense to carry out such an expensive project if you do not have a decent impact. I really believe that if something can be done for this ARG, is encouraging others to follow, I for my part I've tried in a large Spanish-speaking forum I frequent, but I have not have been very lucky. A hundred followers are not enough to embark on a project of this caliber and quality.
I think that's the quiz of the question. Even so is the snake biting its tail, if no progress, can hardly convince anyone that follow this ARG worth it.

Sorry this bad bad translation.

Oh, cool! Q and A session with Emily? Very Happy I sent Chris an email about if she knows anything about any other locations that she was kept in, etc.

EDIT: I'd love to know more about the laughing phone call video and what happened with that. Honestly, I'd love hearing some more details about how she escaped/where she went/why she didn't immediately go to the police (or if she did how did they respond? We could get Adams to look at her file and compare it to the file he has on DNC now)

Well that was interesting.

"But I came back"...well this seems to hint on the resurrection angle we keep hitting on, might suggest we ask why she came back over and over.

Also DNC responded to my twitter post:

@downthispath So you want OWP to kill Chris? Let me do it, I mean that snow globe makes me want to sew buttons into his eyes for you

@boxofmirrors little girl and her little girl tales. if u were able to do it, u would have done it by now. ø

For those of you who do not follow twitter DNC has been rather busy (I guess his mask is at the cleaners)

a q and a, eh¿ as part of your humble audience, may i submit a question¿ @MyDadsTapes ø


Quote:

is she really who she says she is¿ @MyDadsTapes



That second one is actually a good point...I mean it does seem rather neat does it not, that after all this she just turns up and seems to be perfectly pally with Chris? I mean her discovery was built up to be the Mcguffin that will win the day and now she seems to be with Chris and no one seems to really care.

And identity is one of the recurring themes of this series, be it spiritual identity [religious symbols], gender identity [Dnc's early focus on prostitutes and how he treated them almost made them into an other], family identity [Chris loosing most of his family and his imagined images of them], even the basics of visual identity [faces being replaced by masks]. So it would make sense in a meta overarching way for this person to not have the identity she claims to have.

So what is the implications of that then? The two I see are that over the missing time Emily has been brainwashed and is no longer the same self she was, or that this person is a complete imposter who only looks like Emily and has been training during this time to fill her shoes. I think the first option is the most likely one. Are there any other possibilities?

Both of those work. Maybe that this isn't the real Emily? I mean we don't have much to go on over who she was. I mean we could even say that Emily was always fictional and the powers behind this made up this character to trick Chris (maybe the "real" Emily was just a random girl but they skewed the evidence to make her important).

Well, I do not understand what Emily says in the video, but I think not much. Something that caught my attention when this character emerged, is the issue of age.
It's been a long time, and the stagnation of the ARG makes my memory does not remember accurate data. But Emily was supposed victim Chris's father, the girl from "My dads tapes" and this is understood to have spent many years.
Emily went. Gerald then went. Then entered a hospice. Then he died. Then Chris got the tapes as an inheritance, and this almost two years ago.
We have references from over 20 years back in history. On what date was supposed to Emily was kidnapped? How old should now? She looks that age?

Wow, I think this is the first time I've seen it fall so far down the second page...

ANYWAY.
HELLO PEOPLE.

On Twitter a few days ago, DNC tweeted with:

Quote:
growing tired of the weight. time to make things more interesting. ø


And that same day he texted with me wanting me to prove my worth, pretty much I'm going to get together with a new friend of mine and we're going to go crazy with some stage blood and things.

AND THEN.

DNC left me about 5 missed calls last night, with a lovely disturbing message of someone apparently being tickled to death. There's a bit of muffled talking
(it could be screaming that's sped up, which might explain the oddness of the laughter noises and the inability to make out the dialogue)
Sad;ly, my computer is kaput, using a friends. If I can manage to somehow upload the voicemail directly to here then I will... I don't really trust a recording of a voicemail to convey everything.... I'll look up how to do that and get back to ya'll soonish...

Do you think the use of "weight" is intentional? I mean its an odd typo and DNC does not often screw up. Weight of a body? could be literal or a metaphor or the weight of killing Chris.


New headcannon the weight of carrying his last victim damaged DNCs back so he is now a clown, hence the tickling.
