Revision as of 10:19, 4 May 2020

The Astral Arc is the sixth arc of Johnisdead. This arc began on October 22nd, 2018, and ended on June 5th, 2019. This arc saw the introduction of the Astral Observatory - a group of online paranormal enthusiasts with some unknown connection to the Lunar Children. Throughout this arc, players were required to navigate the Astral Observatory forums and interact with its various members while avoiding the suspicion of Nocta - the mysterious leader of the Astral Observatory.

October 22nd, 2018

  • At an unknown time, players discovered that the front page of Johnisdead.com had updated. This page no longer had a title and contained an image of a red-tinted Tyler grinning titled "maj.jpg". target=_blank This page also featured the audio "recruit.mp3". target=_blank Hidden within this page's source code was the text "howdoesitwork" repeated 55 times.
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that Johnisdead.com now featured a new favicon of a crudely-drawn smiley face. target=_blank

October 23rd, 2018

  • At 1:58 PM, players discovered that the front page of Johnisdead.com had updated. This page was now titled "construction" and once again featured the green, distorted image of Tyler titled "awaken.jpg". This page still contained the audio "recruit.mp3".
  • At 2:19 PM, players discovered that Johnisdead.com would once again redirect players if they attempted to access a non-existent page. The pages player would be redirected to seemed to all be previously discovered canon sources such as the Silentdork YouTube channel and Doug's blog.

October 24th, 2018

  • At 9:53 AM, the player Jos discovered a new page on Johnsidead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/home.html". This page was simply the previous version of the front page which featured the red-tinted image of Tyler.
  • At 9:56 AM, the player Jos discovered that Johnisdead.com would sometimes redirect him to a new website when attempting to access a non-existent page - "https://astralobservatory.net/". This site appeared to be a blog themed around paranormal activity and conspiracies. Players noticed that some of the wording within the blog posts found on this page were distinctly cult-like. target=_blank
Expand

10/24/18 - Announcements - Astralobservatory.net

Summary

  • The announcement welcoming users to the site was posted on July 28th, implying that the Astral Observatory has existed for several months.
  • The members of the Astral Observatory believe that society has obscured various truths regarding the nature of the paranormal and reality itself. The author of these posts claims that the Astral Observatory has been exposed to information that has "shattered that illusion", and that now they want more.
  • On October 22nd, an announcement was posted on Astral Observatory claiming that Johnisdead.com had stolen their bandwidth on October 21st. This explains why Johnisdead.com now redirects to Astralobservatory.net.
  • It is revealed that the Astral Observatory has some forums that are temporarily offline.
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that the front page of Astralobservatory.net contained a link to their forums - "https://astralobservatory.net/forum". Unfortunately, these forums were still offline.
  • At 10:01 AM, the player Jos discovered that the Javascript code on Johnisdead.com that redirected players could now be read. The redirects were as follows:
  • Johnisdead.com - https://johnisdead.com

October 25th, 2018

  • At 3:28 PM, the player Jos discovered that the generic "404" page on Johnisdead.com that users were sent to before being redirected was now titled "lost?". This page also contained a dark image of Tenebris and the elegy statue titled "ha.png" and hid the text "find your way" in its source code. target=_blank

I have been waiting for that guy I hung out with last time to come back again so maybe I could try and see if he would like to help me try a few Ideas I have had with it. Also johnisdead.com seems to have come back since then, but Archive guy never emailed me or anything like he said he would.
