Nick Lyonss is apparently the guy behind all of this, according to people on the 4chan thread, but there was no actual proof but his name was brought up serval times

this is just soo elaborate for just one person, a twitter bot, email bot, skype bot and even a hardline bot? with serval websites giving each other hints

i wonder what the whole purpose is..

sites warning about malware seem like dead ends (and also didn't seem to attack my computer at all)

new survey up (sid gets hit is the conclusion i have come to)

I made contact and received an odd code after completing the survey.

I got personally congratulated via facebook for my survey results and asked them what is next, their reply:

"Don't miss the shipping forecast. Stormy seas tonight."

couldn't upload the new (or missing) audio that i got. it looped back to audio we had. i think i started recording about 25 seconds too late too.

most of it is about Sid's parents punishing him. they feel no remorse for Sid and Sid has a ridiculous punishment but does not fight it.

thought there was more hidden morse: inconclusive but unlikely

EDIT: used someone else's old code for the phone # it took me to the next step but then hit a seemingly real error (error 12) in which any key i pressed auto-declined

My code was also colorado actually! (does not work over the phone)

Nicolas Lyons is the name which can be found on the Ascensionism Records pages- twitter, youtube, facebook many references to him and sonatas perhaps created by him.

I would tend to agree that this is all elaborate for a single person, considering care packages turning up in various countries... but we will find out!

By the way, just looking for clues hiding right in front of our faces... I think we can conclude that Nick Lyons or whoever else may be behind this is monitoring this page and any others that may be attempting to solve this. So i began looking here for any hints.

Why would someone who did that much front work just post and never follow up? I tend to believe that person is involved. So then i looked up their user name on google "Amo Bishop Roden" Very interesting results.
Amo Roden was the wife of George Roden who was a leader of the Branch Davidian sect(Davidian Seventh-day Adventists) this guy was accused murder and was found not guilty by insanity.
I would assume this too big coincidence to not look at further down the rabbit hole.

Haven't read through the rest of the thread yet but thought I'd post another email I got...

I asked if I was "Stanley", and he said

"admin@ascensionismrecords.com adminSPLATascensionismrecords.com <admin>
5:43 AM (9 hours ago)

to me
Tread carefully, Stanley. Your fate is out of my hands now."

I have no clue what this means.

Eh, well, there are strawpolls up determining his fate. So that prolly has something to do with it.

Also, my replies are gonna be scarce until after the weekend. I've got an event I'm hosting and am obviously swamped preparing it.

Yeah, I figured that much, I just don't know why I'm being called Stanley all of a sudden.

It seems some of the early ARGers knew proper responses or at least had some basic idea how to translate what ASCEND is throwing at them. I think i will wait until i can decipher his potential responses before i make contact.

BTW he was responding in Russian to you

Thanks, yes I translated his non-english phrases. Also, did anyone notice the picture that was posted on Facebook? The phrase that was written in was
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you freaks touch a hair on his head I'll cut the O2 to your tanks ABDV
but I think there's more to it. Perhaps this message is referring to Sid? Perhaps the message is another red herring.

You're absolutely onto something here. So I was checking out the phenix skype, and I noticed the name said "history of settlement at the site spans more than 3,000 years". I typed that into google and the wikipedia for Haifa came up. Haifa is a city in Israel built on the slopes of Mount Carmel. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haifa) The Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas was named the Mount Carmel Center.

He may be referencing it with the character's name but I am not sure if it bears any significance to ascend yet. I'm going to browse some playthroughs and see if anything jumps out at me.

I've seen a few playthroughs and it doesn't seem to be connected. I think this goes much deeper. Tell us if you find anything though!

Any ideas?
