Wow excellent find, never heard of that until now.


Yeah, as soon as I saw the words "Stanley" and "button" that's all I could think about! One of my favorite games of all time.

found this attached to the Skype account.

Any ideas?


I've googled around trying to figure out what sort of code this is and couldn't find anything. I posted it on a code subreddit on reddit, hopefully I'll get something.

ALSO: if anyone has any knowledge on what I mentioned earlier, his skype name referencing Haifa>Mount Carmel>Branch Davidians, let me know.

 		The twitter account has been posting again. Looks like Stanley made his decision, and there's another poll up.

 		This time the Facebook account is the one with the full story. There's also another AB DV picture posted.

 		Full info on the Skype account:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Skype Name - ascend.phenix
Phone Number - +13202272363 (the "RAQ" number)
Birthday - Apr 27, 1909
Language - Urdu (spoken in parts of Pakistan and India)
Country/Region - AU
About Me - 000.000.000.000.22.1.000.000.3.00.2.222.0101.0202.000.100.000.000

I did a few searches on the date but the best I could come up with was a quick article on another 3,000 year old city that was visited by Gertrude Bell on that date. The city is called Nimrud. I don't believe it is connected, but figured I'd at least throw it out there. Does anyone have any desire to have a typed copy of the poems on AMNA-A posted? I know that I at least find it more convenient. If so, I'll get to work on that.

Hey, yes the Mount Carmel and those names all match up. Which is near a confirmation for me that the first poster who brought this back up in January is in fact involved with ascend.

That would be very helpful

 		Has anyone tried to or know anyone who lives by 47.909850, -91.845100?

Because under location it still says there was a package there that was never picked up. That's in Minnesota where it just so happens the area code for the RAQ line is located.
Just think it's worth looking into if anyone lives in that area.

Where are those coords listed? I don't know anyone by there but that would be beyond awesome if someone does. I feel like we're just spinning our wheel right now tbh.

 		Here http://www.ascensionismrecords.com/counterpoint
under location.

I think that and the listening posts are the most interesting things right now. Beyond figuring out what's up with Stanley. Though that might be a diversion more then anything.

It's more direct contact with the world then has ever been done and there are no longer any coded images or anything being sent out. The game feels entirely different then it did back when it started.

I'm sure that's what's holding this entire thing up. The AB VD posts on facebook are interesting to me too. The first one seemed like a reference to the sensory deprevation tank plans earlier in this thread, I think they were found in a kit. (damn my terrible memory. I'm trying to write all of this down in a summary but it's just so extensive and sprawling that's a bit difficult.)

 		I'm listening to the listening post right now. The voice is telling a story about a boy named Sid forced to dig a hole by his parents.

Isn't Sid the name of Stanley's son?

EDIT: I'm recording it and plan to cut out the music and just post the talking as a file later.

Ah, I was about to mention that! Though it may be a coincidence? Knowing this game though, it's probably not. The "I am a real person" thing freaked me out a bit, sitting here at midnight-thirty alone in my room. I read somewhere that it's a bit from that telemarketing robot that denies she's a bot. Any significance, you think?

 		I can't be sure. I've listened to a recording of the telemarket robot before and it's definitely from that. Everything else though...just creepy. It's strange how the voice just cuts itself off without even fading sometimes.

Idk how long I can listen to this stuff at once. It's a bit unnerving.

I've sent an email to them and I'll post what I've said and what I recieve later when I get something back.

Even if the story has relevance how would it even effect anything I wonder?

I wonder that too. The admin I talk to has taken to calling me "Stanley", but I don't know why or what it means. He referenced the polls that are being posted on twitter. The whole thing just seems extremely unrelated and out of left field.

Another thing that drives me crazy is the sudden switch from Ascensionism to Ascensionism Records. Although Absurdism is apparently apart of the Ascensionist philosophy, so maybe all of this is just an exercise in absolute discord, leading nowhere and having no significance whatsoever.

And yeah...the radio is eerie as hell. Some of the music sounds like something out of a Hitchcock film.

EDIT: That riff right after the string piece was right out of Kanye Quest 3030, when you get to the Ascension room.
