 		(Trailhead?) The Jujubian Cult
Psst... hey kid, wanna join a cult?
So while browsing Reddit/ARG, I found this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ARG/comments/53cxxu/possible_trailhead_found_this_strange_flyer/

Which advertises people interested in joining a cult to email jujubiancultSPLATgmail.com.

There was another thread for it as well that had a IRL flier on it, but I can't find that one now. It seemed to have been deleted, sadly. Supposedly the link was taken from Unforum, but I can't find a thread for it here, so I'm posting this.

Anyways, I sent them an email, and got a response with a link to a google poll that they wanted me to take to see if I met the right criteria to join the Jujubian Cult. I took the test and passed, so now I'm an Initiate and have to print out a mask, and make a new face, and stuff.

So far this looks to be an interesting, oddball game, possibly similar in tone if not in content to the JeJune institute. At the very least there's nothing too unsettling or scary in it, but it could be a lot of weird fun! Or there might be hidden horror we haven't yet seen. I don't know what's going on exactly, but I encourage people to join me on this walk.[/url]

 		Here's a preview
As a preview for those who haven't gotten an email in response yet, one of the first tasks that the cult has you do is make a mask for yourself. Specifically, a "new face" for yourself.



In this case, I decided to go with the "Bear Cub" mask template they included. Tomorrow I'm going to decorate mine and then use it to complete task one. I'm just not sure what specifically to do. Any suggestions? I might just do a copout and do a Monokuma mask...

 		Anyone else get accepted into the cult? I just completed the first challenge and became made a "Shadow Scout", which included being sent a new job and a few unusual images and a video besides.

I can post the emails I've gotten so far if people want...

 		Seems to be fun little artsy arg.

Because original reddit thread got deleted I am reposting image of the poster so it stays on the internet.

If artist or PM has any problems with it, message me and I will delete it.

 		While I have yet to complete Task 2 (gonna work on it tomorrow, I've got some ideas) I got an email from a new NPC! It reads:

Quote:
Hello New Members,

It's great to have you join us. There has been a lot of you lately...I was supposed to email you sooner about our upcoming Journal. Sorry it took so long. I'm not feeling the best and I lost my totem the other day Sad

When you get a minute could you please answer this quick questionnaire
It would be a big help. I'll hopefully have the Journal out in a few days if I get feeling better.

Jujubes for All,
CB


I cannot BELIEVE that I missed the "Jujube" reference here. Anyways, it looks like they're making a journal, so maybe this'll be more than just a play-by-email game? I'm excited about this!

Anyway, the link in the email from CB led to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdK--NO9-b5f6q3gF7qquE4ALKFiM9gloqROe36MsKdJvSkxA/viewform


Which seems to only be relevant to people who have already joined the secret club... er... cult.

Also, I wanted to share some of the secret lore of the game to people who haven't already joined. Here's what the email I sent with task 2 had in it:

Quote:
Your main responsibility is to keep members safe by identifying evil spirits that try to possess or harm our weaker, less enlightened members. These spirits are known as the Shadow Men. They thrive on fear and confusion. It is their aim to incloak the universe in darkness.


There was also a video and pictures and lots more, but I'm keeping some of it secret for the, ah, "Uninitiated". If people want to know more, join the game!

Lastly, here's the NPCs we have in the game so far:

    *Cee Bee: The one running the Questionnaire, who seemingly is involved in creating the Juujubian journal that's coming up. Has the email address jujubiansSPLATgmail.com
    *Glow Face: Seems like the primary point of contact for the emails. Has been the one giving each task I've completed so far. Seems like a friendly person. Has the email address jujubiancultSPLATgmail.com
    *Sid Sydney-Beans: Only mentioned in the first email I got from this cult, alongside Glow Face. Possibly a high ranking person in the cult?

After Claiming Land mission I got email from Sid Sydney-Beans.
He just confirmed that CB is very busy and that her emails are very weird and coded lately.
Which rises supposition that last email from CB, that was written all in lowercase except letters I E V A D O V E R H W E H might contain hidden message.

 		I've just signed up and did the test, how long did it usually take to get an acceptance/rejection e-mail?

Emails are coming like every two days. But they are complaining that there is a lot of new members lately.
Note that pictures of jujubians on instagram are from 2014.
This probably wasnt intended to have a lot of players.
Original thread on reddit even got deleted.


Today I got new (normal letter case this time) email from CB with collage jpg of cult members profile pics and link to google document titled NOTES (suppose this is the journal). It contains nothing but word VOID repeated over 6 pages. Permissions are set to View only, I dont think we are supposed to apply for edit permission (you need to be logged in gmail account for that).

 		I got an e-mail today as well. I wouldn't say they are complaining about all the new members...

Quote:

Have a good one,
cb


Looks like there is a message hidden in CAPS but I haven't been able to figure it out yet...
