At 10:06 PM, Drowned posted the message "the child thoth33 The answer has been right in front of you"" in the Internet Detectives Skype group.
- At 10:12 PM, players discovered the username and password to Lunarchildren.com, gaining access to the site. The username was "thoth33" and the password was "3MrC6OLRutS". The following discoveries were made on Lunarchildren.com:
- Players discovered a large number of announcements posted on the front page of Lunarchildren.com:
11/5/15 - Announcements - Lunarchildren.com
Summary
- On June 23rd, the passwords for Lunarchildren.com were reset. This explains why the players were locked out out the website around that time.
- SKM (Still pretending to be a Lunar Child under the alias "liquidsaint") is going to be visiting the Lunar Children at the Spire in Ohio.
- On July 21st, SKM addressed the rumors and suspicions surrounding him. He also denied the existence of a "hacker group".
- On August 1st, Matt mentions that he was contacted by Tenebris. On August 3rd, Matt was given the Ocarina powers by Tenebris, taking them from the players. Because Tenebris is untrustworthy, speaking to him alone is forbidden. Matt was punished by the rest of the Lunar Children and forbidden from joining a banquet welcoming SKM to the Spire.
- Around August 3rd, SKM visited Florida and worked on the Lunar Children servers, completing the Lunar Children forums. These servers apparently still remain at the fishery. After this, SKM headed for the Spire in Ohio. This was the same day Tyler found the Max Headroom poster outside his house, implying SKM left it there for him.
- Matt mentions that a ritual known as the "Ceremony of the 3 Elements" will be taking place on Undecim Nocte. He claims that this will require Regiminis having John as his vessel. He confirms that the Lunar Children used the Ocarina powers to strengthen Regiminis, allowing him to being physically manifesting near Tyler, and that hopefully they will discover a way to get John back from Tenebris.
- On October 8th, Thoth discusses the video "Paranoid Knocking" that had recently been uploaded to Silentdork. He mocks Tyler for brushing off the strange occurrences in his videos as glitches. Thoth claims that Regiminis and Doug once had a small rivalry in the past. He also reveals that the purple figure whose face was obscured by a cloth was actually Vincent.
- Strange, inexpiable problems with the Lunar Children forums are mentioned several times.
- Players discovered that the "Terminology" pages had been renamed to "Lore" and contained new information:
-
The page "http://lunarchildren.com/lore" contained the image "wisdom.gif".
This page contained the text "For those who wish to follow the path given to us by Mother, transcribed to us by Father, you must first be ready and full with wisdom.

11/5/15 - Transcended Page Text - Lunarchildren.com
Summary
- "Transcendence" is a special form of ascension where the ascended retains their physical form. This type of ascension supposedly only occurs with a chosen few. The transcended always hear "whispers" from Luna before being ascended.
- The Lunar Children imply that the Transcended were seen as early as the 1500's, though they admit these claims have no evidence to back them up as documentation of Luna apparently only began in the 1920's.
- The transcended have abilities similar to those of the "Parallelos Path.
- If the transcended currently have no tasks they must preform, they fall asleep. They can apparently be woken up if a special ceremony is preformed, however.
- The transcended cannot enter any location they have not been explicitly invited to.
- The page "http://lunarchildren.com/terminology" contained the text "A shortened list of the terms used within our ranks, and explanations of said terms.

11/5/15 - Harbingers Page Text - Lunarchildren.com
Summary
- This page confirms that the Lunar Children refer to the players and anyone else who opposes Luna as "Harbingers".
- The Lunar Children claim that a group known as "The Misguided" worked alongside the harbingers.
- The Lunar Children claim that the harbingers are a part of Luna's plan.
- The page "http://lunarchildren.com/terminology/parallelos" contained the following text:
11/5/15 - Parallelos Page Text - Lunarchildren.com
Summary
- "Parallelos" is a blanket term for various worlds and universes that the Lunar Children believe were created by Luna. There are many different parallelos:
- Overworld - The normal physical world we all exist in.
- Sub Parallelos - A pocket dimension of nothingness. These can be used for teleportation purposes.
- Parallelos of Time - A specific moment in time. The Lunar Children believe that every moment in time is recorded in its own parallelos, and those who have control over time, such as Finitors, can use these parallelos to time travel.
- Parallelos of the ascended - A parallelos where those who have recently ascended are sent.
- Portals - Places created by the Lunar Children to house the souls of the ascended. Johnisdead.com, YSHDT.com, and Wayward Horizon are examples of portals.
- Parallelos of the Dead - A purgatory of sorts that one's soul is sent to should they die without ascending.
- Luna's Realm - The sacred realm the Lunar Children claim Luna and the Absque Fascie dwell in. The Lunar Children believe that when Luna is summoned, they will live with Luna in her realm for eternity. This parallelos is also referred to as "The 4th Realm".
- This page explains the "Parallelos Path - a study within the Lunar Children that is taught by Patrem. Learning the "Parallelos Path" essentially allows one to travel between and communicate between parallelos. Some new terms involving the "Parallelos Path" are introduced:
- Sub traversing - The act of teleporting by travelling through sub parallelos.
- Traversing - The act of entering a different parallelos.
- Scrying - Obtaining visions from various points in time by looking into another parallelos either through your own mind or with a special device. The Lunar Children claim that abusing this technique causes blindness.
- Listening - Hearing voices of beings from separate parallelos. Just like with "Scrying", this can be done with one's own ears or though a device. The Lunar Children claim that abusing this technique causes deafness.
11/5/15 - Absque Facie Page - Lunarchildren.com
- The page "http://lunarchildren.com/terminology/the-rule-of-three" contained the following text:
11/5/15 - The Rule of Three Page Text - Lunarchildren.com
Summary
- The Lunar Children believe that the number 3 is a sacred number. This is because they claim that Luna created the world in three days and believe in something known as the "three silver secrets".
- The Lunar Children claim that three individuals who represent the three silver secrets will be used in a ritual known as the "Ceremony of the Three Elements" to summon Luna.
-
The page "http://lunarchildren.com/terminology/undecim-nocte" contained the following text:
11/5/15 - Undecim Nocte Page Text - Lunarchildren.com
- The page "http://lunarchildren.com/the-legend" contained text describing how the Lunar Children believe the world was created:
11/5/15 - The Legend Page Text - Lunarchildren.com
Summary
- The Lunar Children share their beliefs on how our world was created:
- Existence was nothing but an empty and meaningless void until Luna arrived. Her arrival was signified by a thunder-like sound.
- Luna declared that she would share three silver secrets with mankind.
- On the first day, Luna created the parallelos known as the Overworld, which included Earth and all of its elements. Along with this, she created time as we know it - day and night.
- On the first night, Luna shared with man the secret of Power, which is implied to have taught man how to effectively utilize the elements she had created.
- On the second day, Luna created barriers around our parallelos, separating it from the other more chaotic parallelos. On this day, Luna created law and order.
- On the second night, Luna shared with man the secret of Wisdom, which taught man more about their new reality and how to possibly step beyond it into other parallelos.
- On the third day, Luna brought her followers to a large tree. It was here she taught man the ways of ascension when a man named Benjamen was struck by lightening. After this, the Absque Facie began descending. Luna promised man that, through ascension, they will be able to understand the words spoken by the Absque Facie and follow Luna to her parallelos.
- When asked if they could accompany Luna, she responded "not with these masks ye hold. My true people are the faceless and maskless. Move beyond thine bodies, the physical masks, and learn of the divine third silver secret", confirming that often times in Lunar Children lore, physical bodies and vessels are referred to as "masks".
- Luna was unable to deliver the final silver secret on the third night because she had ran out of power. When she collapsed to the ground, four devout followers came to her aid. To show her gratitude to these four, Luna implied they would be ascended as she took them back to her own parallelos. She claimed they would one day return with her to bring all of her followers to her parallelos, implying that these four were the four giants.
- When Luna departed, she created the moon.
- Another tale of a previous Overseer learning more about Luna and Tenebris from Patrem:
- Patrem says that Luna has the ability to descend to our world in the form of a woman. Patrem claims that before he had ascended, Luna bestowed him with great wisdom.
- Before Luna bestowed Patrem with knowledge, the two had a child that would later become Tenebris's vessel. "The seed of man taken by the moon, the conception of the dark ones vessel, a necessary evil prior to wisdom." This implies that Patrem is actually Ben's biological father, as Tenebris later used Ben as his vessel.
- Patrem claims that the number "3" was repeated many times by Luna. This is similar to the Moon Child Kelbris's account of Luna's whispers.
- The page "http://lunarchildren.com/contact" contained several fields asking players for "Your Name (required)", "Your Email (required)", "Subject", and "Your Message".
- The page "http://lunarchildren.com/archives" contained a password box and the text "This content is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:".
- The page "http://lunarchildren.com/anthem" contained the lyrics heard in the Lunar Children theme.

11/5/15 - Lunar Children Profiles - Lunar Children Forums
Summary
- Several important Lunar Children have profiles on the forums:
- MattR is an administrator on the forums, though no new information is revealed through his account.
- Helper has an account that reveals he is listed as being 20 years old.
- Doug has an account going by his old username, DandP. In his profile, he claims that the teachings of the Lunar Children are false. He also praises Tenebris, supporting the idea that the four giants are under Tenebris's control. He also once again refers to Patrem as the "father of lies" and implies that the Luna Patrem worships is a false god - "all shall bare witness to the true Luna and not the whore of sins begot to us by the father of lies".
- SKM has an account going by his Lunar Children alias "Liquidsaint". He is an administrator as well and his profile reiterates that he was the one who created the Lunar Children forums. It also reveals that he is actually 24 years old.
- Ezekiel Thoth is also an administrator on the forums. His profile reveals that he has been a Lunar Child since an incredibly early age. He also claims that his family is responsible for building the Spire.
- Vincent has an account, though he has nothing written in his bio. However, his avatar is a photo of the purple entity wearing a cloth-like mask seen in "Paranoid Knocking", confirming this is indeed Vincent's physical appearance.
- _jinn_ is an administrator on the forums. Jinn is revealed to be another elder child. She claims to oversee the Lunar Children library housed at the Spire.
- kuu_32 is another elder child who works at the library at the Spire. Her bio seems to have been overtaken by a malicious spirit - possibly Tenebris - claiming that the Lunar Children are wrong and reiterating that Patrem is a "father of lies". "THINK NOT YOUR STORY IS FALSEHOODS NOT YOUR FATHER IS ONE OF LIES".
-
Spencer_23 is a user heavily implied to be Spencer from Jadusable's ARG. Spencer was a Moon Child who went by the username Duskworld23. Likewise, their bio contains a snippet of one of Spencer's posts from the Moon Children website. Similar to kuu_32's bio, Spencer's bio seems to be overtaken by an unknown entity who wrote the following: "What a pig that whore made you to be Spencer, shoving that slop in your mouth while you are in the midst of glory.". This further connects this account to Spencer through the newspaper clipping from Jadusable's ARG. The text "RISE UP IN HER NAME! YOU ARE THE THIRD!" seems to imply that Spencer is the third giant.
-
TheMLAlex2 is a user implied to be Alex Hall himself - also known as Jadusable. This account's bio asks the question "where do you think I went" along with a link to the video "continue" from the channel "TheLinkMissing". The bio also reads "He spoke unto me and I realized I am the second. I lay in wait drowning as that thing did. I saw a man named mason come into my home.", implying that not only did Alex drown, but also that he is perhaps the second giant. Alex also claims he saw Mason enter his "home".
- The forums contain a large number of empty accounts with nothing interesting entered on their profile. The following accounts hold some useful information, however:
- Several users such as NathenA99 and Hina616 appear to be normal teenagers who have been lured into the cult.
- EddieD222 is a user who seems to often be given "killings assignments", implying it's common knowledge that the Lunar Children are murderers.
- Jarilo333 introduces himself as a proud father and devout follower of Luna. He implies he has a son who is also a Lunar Child.
- SheepDog has the unique title of In house Artist. Their bio implies they often create art in honor of Luna.
- Several accounts on the forums appear to be the resentful spirits of deceased Lunar Children going by their cryptic profile bios.
-
Players began investigating the Lunar Children forums. Oddly enough, the post time for every message on the forums simply read "Today". The header image appeared similar to the one seen on the Within Hubris forums:
The structure of the forums as well as the threads found within are as follows:
- Section - "News"

He claims that this caused his brother to go blind in one eye. This seems to imply that Jarilo's brother is the Old Man who gave Alex the haunted Majora's Mask cartridge in 2010.
- Jie_Lin_HunterL is confirmed to be Jarilo's son. He appears to be a devout follower of Luna.
- A user asks about Tenebris, but the elder child _jinn_ claims it's a risky subject to discuss.

- Two elder children, Thoth and kuu_31, disapprove of Jarilo's rash actions. They claim that the Libro Lunarus is sacred text that is not to be shown to outsiders.
11/5/15 - "My introoooo XD" - Source
Summary

11/5/15 - "we" - Losna152
Summary
- Another deceased Lunar Child spirit asks for help on the forums

11/5/15 - "How do I ascend?" - 1_Tsukuyomi_1
Summary
- The user Tsukuyomi expresses their urge to ascend. Thoth suggests they attend a "reading session" of the Libro Lunarus at the Spire's library.
- Tsukuyomi claims to have been a Lunar Child for over a month despite them claiming they had joined the same day in an earlier post. This means that the dates on the Lunar Children forums are glitched and we do not have any sort of time-frame for when these posts were actually made.
11/5/15 - "Holy Names?" - EddieD222
Summary
- Jinn explains that holy names such as "Regiminis" are given to devout Lunar Children who have earned them. They learn these names by using a listening device to listen to spirits in other parallelos. Jinn says that the strange device used to communicate with Patrem seen in "bloodmoonritualpartone.wmv" was one of these listening devices.
- Hunter claims that it's possible to receive a holy title and not use it. Supposedly, Regminis nearly used his birth name before opting to use the title "Regiminis". Hunter says he can't remember what Regiminis's birth name is anymore.
11/5/15 - "I found this thing" - Hina616
Summary
- Hina posts a photo of Tyler's crescent moon necklace. She explains that she found it at the fishery.
- Hina is informed that the fishery was off-limits. Matt commands her to return the necklace to the fishery. He claims that if she fails to do this, she will be killed.
- Jarilo recognizes the necklace and claims that a former Lunar Child named "Lunaris Draco" had one that looked identical. It is implied that this was Tyler's girlfriend Carla, meaning that Carla was actually a Lunar Child at some point. This also implies that Tyler's necklace is somehow involved with the Lunar Children's plans, as it was originally given to Carla once she reached a certain rank within the cult.
- Jinn chides Jarilo for revealing more forbidden information, warning him that it could lead to his downfall.

11/5/15 - "Who were the misguided?" - Alignak
Summary
- The Misguided often referred to by the Lunar Children are confirmed to be the Moon Children.
- The user sin_yarikh mentions that Regiminis once infiltrated the Moon Children and learned much about them. Thanks to what Regiminis discovered about Kelbris, the Lunar Children learned more about ascension and transcendence. He also claims that Kelbris has some sort of connection with Patrem.
- Jarilo mentions that he followed one of his friends from the Moon Children to the Lunar Children, implying that he was once a Moon Child himself.
- Jarilo shares more information about the Moon Children:
- Kelbris was the one who discovered the "Ceremony of the Three Elements" - a ritual necessary in summoning Luna.
- The leader of the Moon Children enjoyed spreading misinformation.
- The claim that Kelbris died in 1998 was a lie. Kelbris was actually killed by Matt in 2002 as a part of Matt's initiation into the Moon Children.
- Kelbris often spoke of ascension which was seen by blasphemous by the Moon Children. When Matt killed Kelbris in 2002, this caused Kelbris to transcend into one of the four giants. Following this, the Moon Children accepted what he spoke of regarding ascension but covered up facts surrounding his death.
- The leader of the Moon Children was Mr. D - the mysterious figure mentioned briefly on the Moon Children website. Mr D supposedly named himself that based off the one he had "consumed".
- Mr. D also went by the names The Dark Shepard, The Happy Man, and The Fuehrer. He also often claimed he was "The Father", that he was the Moon Children's "link" to Luna, was not human, and was said to often enjoy playing "games". This heavily implies that Mr. D, the leader of the Moon Children, was Tenebris.
- When Jarilo is asked why he isn't an elder child, an unknown user takes over his account and responds with "He talks too much".

3/10/16 - Chat with Drowned - Skype (Internet Detectives)
Summary
- Drowned has been summoned thanks to the players' submission of the "New Wave Bossa Nova". He is starting to remember many things and is much more coherent than before.
- Drowned has been captured by Regiminis and will be given to Tenebris in exchange for John.
- Drowned reiterates that he is two spirits in one - Ben, the one who drowned, and Max, the one who was later abducted.
- Drowned confirms that he is in control of the Lostmemory423 YouTube channel. He also confirms that the videos shown there are his memories of SKM's quest to gain the Lunar Children's trust back in 2011 so he could save Max.
- Drowned reiterates that the Lunar Children ordered SKM to travel to the Moon Children's abandoned compound. Drowned implies that the Moon Children were all killed and something important was left behind at the Orchard.

March 11th, 2016
- At 4:00 AM, the player Eve submitted the "Song of Time" on the Lunar Children forums.
March 15th, 2016
-

Please hide us from him. Please stop him, this time he will take us, we will be offered to the salesman for trade of the burned one. SKM will be offered the salesmans conduit. his body. Save us.". This seems to imply that SKM is going to be used as Tenebris's physical body. Following this, Drowned sent five videos titled "Please Help" to the Skype group.
3/17/16 - "Please Help" (Part 1) - Skype (Internet Detectives)
Summary
- This video simply contains footage of a pale, faceless, mannequin-like entity. This is thought to be Drowned.
3/17/16 - "Please Help" (Part 2) - Skype (Internet Detectives)
Summary
- This video simply features a smiling face wearing glasses seen in previous videos.
3/17/16 - "Please Help" (Part 3) - Skype (Internet Detectives)

3/17/16 - "Please Help" (Part 4) - Skype (Internet Detectives)
Summary
- A grimacing entity angrily shouts "WHERE IS HE?" as he presumably searches for Drowned.
3/17/16 - "Please Help" (Part 5) - Skype (Internet Detectives)
Summary
- The mannequin-like entity assumed to be Drowned returns. He is now wearing a gas mask as he disappears into the darkness.
- At 2:14 AM, the player Spirkiroid submitted the "Garo's Mask" on the Lunar Children forums hoping to hide Drowned.
- At 2:30 AM, Drowned began chatting with the players in the Internet Detectives Skype group.
3/17/16 - Chat with Drowned - Skype (Internet Detectives)
Summary
- The "Garo's Mask" worked - Drowned was able to hide from Regiminis because the mask disguised them as one of Regiminis's servants.
- Drowned confirms that Regiminis was meant to govern over Johnisdead.com. He claims that Regiminis named it after "what he did", implying that Regiminis is responsible for John's death. Regiminis named it this to taunt Tyler, who Drowned describes as "his destined kill".
- Drowned confirms that the players are the "harbingers" spoken of by the Lunar Children.
- Drowned says that YSHDT.com was the Lunar Children are ascended to Johnisdead.com. He continues, saying that they attempted to use YSHDT.com first, but it was foiled by the players.
- The Lunar Children have ascended and trapped so many souls within Johnisdead.com that they are starting to spill over into Lunarchildren.com, which explains the strange pages and forum accounts. Drowned claims that the Lunar Children are too prideful to admit their mistakes, so they cover them up instead.
- Drowned refers to the players as "The warriors of hubris before he lost himself", referring to both Within Hubris and Matt, who once went by "Matt Hubris".
- Drowned mentions that Tenebris is asking two things from Regiminis - power and a physical body. This seems to imply that not only does Tenebris want Drowned, but also someone else to act as a physical vessel - possibly SKM, as mentioned before by Drowned.
- Drowned laments that the players have only delayed the inevitable - Regiminis will soon find him and present him to Tenebris no matter what.
- Drowned explains that a "conduit" is someone who has died as a result of someone else's ascension. Conduits are often used as a spiritual or physical vessels. Drowned says that entities from other parallelos may also use conduits to come to our world. Apparently, those who have ascended will become more powerful if they have a conduit.
- Drowned says that John was accidentally Regiminis's conduit. This means that John was mistakenly killed as a part of Regiminis's ascension. This is why Regiminis wants to regain John so badly - he will become more powerful because John was his conduit.
- At 2:59 AM, Drowned sent the message "Regiminis. https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/kevi". This link took players to Google Translate, where the word "Kevi" was automatically translated from the language "Malagasy" to English as "Governing". Since "Regiminis" means "Governance" in Latin, this reveals that Regiminis is actually Tyler's old friend Kevin who disappeared in 2011.
-
At an unknown time, a new video was uploaded to the Lostmemory423 YouTube channel - "IMG_1427".
3/17/16 - "IMG_1427" - YouTube (Lostmemory423)
Summary
- SKM finds the building he was tasked with unlocking. He finds several masks strewn about the room along with some important notes that reveal the following:
- The Moon Children claim that Alex gets "special treatment" because he might be able to teach them about BEN since he was in possession of the Majora's Mask cartridge, further implying that he was a member of the Moon Children.
- The Moon Children had a base in New York they referred to as the "newyork grotto".
- Matt seemingly went insane and began ascending other members of the Moon Children. The Moon Children believe that Matt was attempting to transcend them into giants, which they describe as "Lunar Children teachings".
- The Moon Children claim that Matt somehow teleported to New York and transcended Spencer. It's implied this is how Spencer and Alex from the Moon Children became two of the giants - Matt transcended them before joining the Lunar Children.
- Alex supposedly stole a copy of the Libro Lunarus from the Lunar Children and brought it to the Moon Children.
- The Moon Children reveal that one member, Insidiae, was a spy. Insidiae's real name is Kevin. This is implied to be the same Kevin that was Tyler's former friend, as one user on the Lunar Children forums mentioned that Regiminis once infiltrated the Moon Children.
- SKM finds a copy of the Libro Lunarus - seemingly the same copy that Alex stole long ago. A gas mask briefly appears along with a screenshot of the Moon Children website featuring a post from Drowned and many notes that read "Where is Mr. D?". This seems to imply that Mr. D, or Tenebris, is symbolized by a gas mask - possibly through Drowned by proxy, since they were his conduit.

It's important to remember that the Moon Children and the Lunar Children are two separate groups.
The Moon Children were housed in the Orchard, owned the site Youshouldnthavedonethat.net, and were led by Mr. D - an entity heavily implied to be Tenebris.
The Lunar Children were housed in the fishery, owned the site Lunarchildren.com, and were led by Patrem.
This arc mainly focuses around the Moon Children.
For convenience sake, we will often be referring to "Youshouldnthavedonethat.net" as "YSHDT.net" throughout this timeline.

At 12:00 PM, players discovered that "http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net", the website owned by the Moon Children that was used during Jadusable's ARG, was once again active. This site had previously been owned by the "GoChina" after not being renewed by Jadusable. The site now featured a generic login page that read "Sign in to GoChina".
-
At an unknown time, players discovered that the login page for YSHDT.net had updated. The page now read "Sign in to The Moon Children".
- At an unknown time, players discovered that YSHDT.net had reverted to how it appeared during Jadusable's ARG. A brief summary of the content discovered on YSHDT.net during Jadusable's ARG is as follows:
- Front Page - Contained a brief introduction to the Moon Children along with a Guestbook where users could leave comments. (Link) This page also contained announcements written by high ranking Moon Children and mysterious entities:
- Matt, also known as Ifrit.
- Chris, also known as Nekko.
- Spencer, also known as Duskworld23.
- Kevin, also known as Insidiae.
- DROWNED, who is implied to be BEN.
- Kelbris, who made a single, threatening post.
- Contact Us - A page where players could submit their personal contact information. (Link) Several "Contact Pages" were hidden for various Moon Children that hid further information:
- Ben - Ben's contact page. This page contained a countdown to the fourth day. (Link)
- Drowned - Drowned's contact page. This page contained a large image of Kelbris. (Link)
- Ifrit - Matt's contact page. This page led players to Matt's email address and the YouTube channel "TheLinkMissing". After Matt disappeared as the second cycle began, this page was filled with images of BEN. (Link)
- Alex - Alex's contact page. This page contained text further linking Alex to the "TheLinkMissing" YouTube channel. (Link)
- Search - Links to a search page that allowed players to quickly scour the site. (Link)
- The Truth - Links to a locked page. Finding a way to enter this page was one of the main goals from Jadusable's ARG. (Link)
- Creed - Links to a page containing various Moon Child chants. (Link)
- About - Links to a page containing small bios on high ranking Moon Children. (Link)
- Theories - Links to a page containing several theories relating to the apocalypse. (Link)
- Other - Miscellaneous things found on YSHDT.net:

Notice:
To avoid any confusion, it's important to note that YSHDT.net operated on a three day cycle. This means that on the night of the third day, the players were required to "reset" the site by submitting the Song of Time. This would revert the site to how it was three days prior, often with small changes.
The players were essentially experiencing alternate timeline versions of the same website whenever a new cycle began.
For convenience sake, we will be referring to most YSHDT.net pages as their casual name rather than their entire URL.
For example, the page "http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/contact/ifrit will simply be referred to as "Matt's Contact Page".
This concludes the summary of YSHDT.net as it appeared during Jadusable's ARG.
The following updates are purely from The Truth Arc of Johnisdead.

- At an unknown time, players discovered the the front page of YSHDT.net contained a new post by Chris:
7/3/16 - Announcement - Youshouldnthavedonethat.net
Summary
- Chris is still alive. This confirms that each cycle of YSHDT.net is a separate timeline, since Chris was killed and ascended during the original cycle of YSHDT.net.
- The Moon Children were attempting to set up a page containing testimonials from past Moon Children, but Chris accidentally lost the testimonials.
- The guestbook is displaying comments from six years in the future. This is because players from the current year (2016) are commenting on YSHDT.net, which is still in 2010.
- Matt is hosting a party on Sunday. Chris's post was made on September 16th, 2010. The next Sunday was on September 19th, 2010 - three days after Chris's post. This implies that the three day cycle is counting down to the date of Matt's party.
-
At an unknown time, players discovered that the guestbook contained a comment from "Spencer" that read "Matt I thought you were our friend".
- At an unknown time, players discovered that Drowned's contact page was now titled "g4" and contained the following text: "This sheep is blind, its eyes to the one below the blue who's consumed beneath the one through ages.

-
At an unknown time, players discovered a new page on YSHDT.net - "http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/giant". This page was titled "1" and contained an image of Kelbris.

Summary
- Two Moon Children, Rem and David, discuss Matt. In this conversation, they are using Matt's Moon Child alias - Rodney R.

- An unknown entity, likely Tenebris, cuts off the chatlog.
- At 5:17 PM, players began emailing Matt:

Summary
- Matt confirms that the date from his and the rest of YSHDT.net's perspective is indeed September 16th, 2010.

At 11:09 PM, players managed to fix the audio file "jintod.ogg", allowing it to correctly play. Players discovered that this audio file previously would not play because text had been inserted into its code that read "Radio them and tell them what is happening to ifrit". Once this text was removed, the audio file played correctly. This audio file features someone saying "Hiding right now... ((Unintelligible)) he'll kill us, I don't know what I'm doing... No, no... Ifrit. He- he... he wanted to talk to Ifrit. ((Unintelligible)) He's... oh, no... He's killing us. He's... ((Unintelligible)) to realize... please." with occasional knocking sounds.
- At an unknown time, players continued chatting with Matt via email:
7/3/16 - Email Chats with Matt - YSHDT.net (Email)
Summary

- The player Moondancer asks about Kelbris's body. Matt states that 2002 was an awful time for him, and he doesn't like talking about it. He says that killing Kelbris had to be done and that his body will not be found.
July 4th, 2016
- At 1:45 AM, players began chatting with both Spencer and Alex via email:
7/4/16 - Email Chats with Spencer and Alex - YSHDT.net (Email)
Summary
- It's further implied that Alex and Spencer were drowned by Matt - something said in the video "IMG_1427" and hinted at on the Lunar Children forums.
- Alex's message implies he was initially against his own forced ascension, but becomes loyal to Luna and thanks Matt after the fact. This could hint that those who are transcended into giants lose control over themselves or are brainwashed in some way.
Updates
- Screenshots:
-
At an unknown time, players discovered that the text reading "Luna Prophecy" on the "Theories Page" had changed to "Honesty is the best policy.".

- At 8:23 PM, the "Zora Mask" submitted by Aaver took effect and Spencer began emailing the players.
7/4/16 - Email Chats with Spencer - YSHDT.net (Email)
Summary
- Spencer tells the players that he is not able to give them the login information for The Truth.
- Spencer claims that, on Sunday, Kelbris will wake up and "change" Matt somehow - likely leading to him killing and transcending Spencer and Alex under Tenebris's control.
- Spencer describes Tenebris as a "parasite of the body and soul", claiming it requires those of others to present itself.
- Spencer tells the player that he has already transcended like Kelbris, Alex, and Doug. It appears as if the "Zora Mask" is simply allowing him to speak normally and break free from their control for a brief moment.
Updates
- Screenshots:
- At 10:09 PM, the player Mugen Kagemaru sent an email to Matt reading "Be careful at your party, Matt.

Once this text was removed from the file's code, the audio would play correctly, revealing the sound of Skull Kid's laugh from Majora's Mask.
7/4/16 - Rem and Dani's Chatlog - YSHDT.net ("Get_it_yet.ogg")
Summary
- The Moon Child Rem claims he saw Kelbris at Rosa's door. After this, Rosa seemingly disappeared.
- Rem claims that Kelbris didn't wish to kill Matt - only speak to him. This is implied to be what Spencer was referring to earlier - whatever Kelbris did to Matt drove him to kill the other Moon Children.
- An unknown entity begins speaking through the chatlog text, implying that Kelbris was simply a puppet being used to spread wisdom. This entity refers to Matt as a tool to ascend the four giants, whereas Ben was used as Tenebris's conduit.

12/29/16 - Chat with Jeremy - Skype (Taskmasters)
Summary
- Jeremy claims that Kevin has held YSHDT.net together throughout the various cycles in an attempt to gain the power inside The Truth.
- The countless souls of the Moon Children within YSHDT.net are rebelling against Kevin
- Jeremy reveals that the way he was killed by Hunter was from a stab wound to the neck.
- Jeremy describes the parallelos he is currently in - "You can see a little bit of everything from yesterday, today, tomorrow or sometimes more than one or all at once. Its a bit confusing and many things walk through this place besides me. Things from before your world came to be, before She participated in the process of what created it.".
- Jeremy claims that Luna, much like the Four Giants and Tenebris, is bound by various "arbitrary processes", explaining the various rules regarding the Ocarina powers and The Truth that they must abide by.
- Jeremy explains that the Ceremony of the Three Elements to summon Luna requires the Four Giants, "the one holding the mask", and Tenebris. Kevin believes he will gain more power from enacting this ceremony.
- Jeremy explains that Matt believes he will be the one "holding the mask" in the Ceremony of Three, but he is mistaken - the one "holding the mask" always has been and always will be Tyler. This seems to imply that Matt is simply being used as a tool by Tenebris to awaken the Four Giants.
- Jeremy explains that during the "Ceremony of the Three Elements", Tyler, while under Tenebris's control, will act as a waypoint for Luna to enter our world. Meanwhile, the Four Giants will open the way through which she will enter.
- Jeremy claims that the Four Giants are "not who they inhabit but beings from long before your time", further implying that those who have transcended into a giant do not have free will and are instead possessed by ancient entities.
- Jeremy explains that the Libro Lunarus was written long ago, consisting of "whispers" of Luna. Following this, Hank defaced the "one copy" with his delusional beliefs regarding Luna and Diana.
- Jeremy says that Tyler already knows what he has to do to escape - likely referring to the alternate timeline Tyler known as "SilentDT".
- Jeremy says that inside The Truth, the players will have the option to "Kill" Mr. D - the amalgamation of Ben, Tyler, and Tenebris.

At 6:38 PM, Rosa sent the player Chad a message through Matt's email that read "his horrible man, wishes to hold everything hostage until he finds himself in full control.

Once he does begin searching quickly then for the truth. Time is very short.".

At 7:24 PM, players discovered two images hidden within the YSHDT.net sign-in page's source code. These images were textures from Majora's Mask - one image was the texture used on Majora's Mask itself, and the other was the texture used for the moon's teeth.

Summary
- The Moon Children have been beating Alex either as punishment or to draw more information out of him. Alex has now gone insane to some extent and believes the other Moon Children to be a "a part of his nightmare".
- It's implied that handling the Libro Lunarus somehow changed Alex - likely due to his status as one of those chosen to become a giant. This implies that the Libro Lunarus holds some latent magical properties.
- References to different timelines are made once again. The Alex that this version of David and Kayd knew was indeed Tyler's roommate, but Alex appears to be experiencing conflicting memories and doesn't remember rooming with Tyler due to the side-effects of "timeline splitting".
- David confirms that, in some cycles, SKM's body from the future was used by Tenebris. "The body of someone who was given that gas mask that the traitors use for their initiates. But he had alternate motives.".
- At an unknown time, players discovered that many pages on YSHDT.net were being completely deleted.
- At an unknown time, players discovered various messages left by Kayd on different YSHDT.net pages
- "Contact Us" page - ".:@rem:. Do you ever wonder what this website is?"
- Search page - ".:@rem:. Why its still online"
- Creed page - "@rem:. We are kept in the same place as them."
- Theories page - "@rem:. Such a web of lies spun by a man grieving for the loss of family. He could not have understood what suffering he would give way to."

At an unknown time, players discovered that the About page now contained only one member of the Moon Children - Kayd Hendricks.
-

- At 11:36 PM, players discovered that the About page returned to normal.
- At an unknown time, players discovered that the About page had changed once again. The page now contained text that read "Rem - Kayd H.I know what you want and I kept it hidden in fear during my time, but now I have learned that it did not matter, she only gave me the one half as a test user:mhftt AUJu/Yewq]MwY5(n-m-%'P:st":d)".

The username was "mhftt" and the password was "AUJu/Yewq]MwY5(n-m-%'P:st":d)“8NcszZ?[:')wz@CRdJ58J*P9Z`A,~<AvL7=", which was gained by combining the password given to the players on the About page and the password Kayd gave the players years ago on his YouTube channel Ryukaki. The Truth page contained a single poll where players were simply asked "Kill" and could vote "Yes" or "No". This poll is commonly referred to as the "Kill Switch".

- An unknown relative of Jeremy known simply as "Commissioner Jarvis" has control over the local authorities and keeps the Lunar Children in power.

- At 1:22 AM, Jeremy joined the Taskmasters Skype Group and congratulated the players: "You did it. I knew you could. Not the best it could have went, but nothing’s perfect. Tell me, what will you do now that your game is over? She is not dead, she’s only closed her entryway. She’s still out there, waiting. Waiting to claw into this reality, hahahaha... But when she does, it will be a long time after you all are dead. So that’s it, then."
