Google Docs is an online text-editor and file sharing service provided by Google. During The Truth Arc of Johnisdead, players used Google Docs as their main method of archiving the ARG. Various players were given edit access over the associated Google Doc throughout the duration of the arc. At the end of 2016, when The Truth Arc ended, the Google Doc was abandoned.
((WIP))
Archive
Below is a transcript of the various Google Docs and other associated files.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEW PLAYERS
“We actually won. Congratulations, ARG is over. Kill this doc it’s too fucking huge”
Passworded files doc 
Hidden pages titanpad
This is a fan-made game, confirmed here.
In addition, please consult the Jadusable Wiki, for information on the original story.
Please DO NOT reveal anything to ANY characters that could jeopardize their life.
Eg. Talking about Kelbris, the fact we're years ahead of them, or what happened in the ARG earlier.
Furthermore, try not to be greedy with questions.
While it is true we need to get as much information as we can, times for questioning IS limited, and flooding the chat(s) with questions is equally unhelpful.
The same goes for asking about small details. Again, this is also a fair point, that literally ANYTHING could be important, but unless it’s indicated to be, we should assume it is not.
The same goes for sending questions via email. Some of the more slippery characters can and will avoid answering questions if able, so it is advised that you limit your questions to counter this. Worst thing they can do is ignore you.
Bottom line: ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS, AND DO SO WISELY.
We've been given a second chance, as far as we can tell. We shouldn't screw it up. But we might have.
Gonna dump a list of what screwed us up last time.
Songs:
Oath to Order - killed Alex; a key in-game song that was played too early
Sonata of Awakening - made Alex disappear after he was revived
Please keep this document strictly to what, and links. Discuss in the comments, we need to keep this organized! Feel free to add any significant notes using google doc’s suggestion tool.
If possible, please keep new information within headings. In the event of an influx of information, please use the “Immediate Developments” section. I (Aaver/Morgan) will organize the document once the info stream has stopped. Please remember to put timestamps on all your additions.
Please.
Finally, archives should primarily consist of images of the discoveries, uploaded to Imgur or Imageshack or whatever. Try to avoid FunnyJunk or PhotoBucket, viewing pics there is too much hassle. Only copy-paste text logs, like of IRC snippets, if you were not able to get a screencap.
IMPORTANT: am/pm rolls over at 12:00. Please do not say 12 Noon as 12:00 AM. This has been a major source of confusion. For the same reason, timestamps should be in Eastern Daylight Time (we’re in Daylight Savings Time or “Summer Time” until October) in order to better line up with the countdown on the site.
A complete summary of day one, in chronological order, may be found here.
Page Changes:
At 12 noon EST, the site was found to be open again.
The site contained the video again.wmv. The original was put private by the channel fj6rt missing, but a copy of the video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sctgbM2qAQc&feature=youtu.be
The video begins with gameplay of Majora’s Mask: Link is still a Deku Scrub in Clock Town. He goes to the entrance of the Bombers’ hideout and enters the password as “15423”. The footage then cuts out and text appears saying “”You are not done playing yet.” , accompanied by heavily distorted music/sound effects. Another blue “message end” box pops up with a corrupted text display sound, but no text is shown. The words “United Alliance” appear.
At 40s into the video, an image of TP Link on Epona appears for 1 frame, along with the text “We all are Link” “So we fought like tomorrow was promised”.
At 43s, an image appears with cursive text saying “What’s your Mask?”. Next, “Heroes of Time” appears along with the sound of the belltower. “Knights of Jad” flashes on the screen at 50s, as well as an image of the Deku scrub mostly offscreen.
At 52s, a banner appears with various Zelda-related images (Promo image of Link, BEN Statue, Sheikah Stone), words on the banner read: “The Fourth Day” “The counter resets one last time” “but this time, we prevail”. “Team Vanguard” then appears for a few seconds, followed by “System of a Dream”. An image of several people, appearing to be drawn in the style of the Bombers, appears and then fades out.
These past images appear to ben forum signature banners. Most of the rest of the video is blank, until “Did you think would forget?” appears, followed by “One more chance”. The corrupted “Dawn of a New Day” banner from the original videos appears, followed by a brief flash of “You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?”
Comments: I’m unsure if this video is legitimate or not, due to all the “We will defeat you” shenanigans. However, the source seems alright, and there may be some info in the vid that we need later.
A paste of Nekko’s new post can be found here.
Posted: 9/16/10 @ 1:23am
Subject: update and guestbook
Drowned’s contact page updated, the source code contains (this also shows up if you use search) “"This sheep is blind, its eyes to the one below the blue who's consumed beneath the one through ages. It is flesh sans soul, a once living traitor, a servant and nothing more. The man is smiling."
Drowned's contact page said "MY EYES… THEY TOOK… MY EYES…" in the last arc, did it not?
That explains the "blind sheep" part, perhaps.
http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.pp/giant/ - “YOU SHOULDN’T BE HERE”
The title of Drowned's contact page is "g4", much like Alex's, which was "g2". Perhaps they are two of the four giants?
Further reinforced since this page’s title is “1” and plays the Swamp theme backwards, hinting towards the first giant.
Page’s title is now “g1”
http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/r/ - Blank page with title “R”
http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/pressroom/ - Blank page with source text: “sheep to the slaughter”
Source text contains link to: view-source:http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/files/3914/6760/3012/jintod.ogg which has http://i.imgur.com/jhoSl4Y.png “Radio them and tell them what is happening to ifrit”

Morgan
With Alex
[-] Spoiler
Subject: Hello (and of course, Re: Hello, etc.)
To Alex:
"hi. I'm Morgan.
I was wondering if we could talk? I'd like to ask you some questions."
From Alex:
"Qmwxeoi hoqiae... xvcmrk xs rsacm sqf ...mdmzgbpqvo omb wcb wn kwvbbzwt! U st iuft Tqd zai. U st ugrf ftq sekvd ybq! Ftmzw kag Ymff U my rdqq."
Note: We couldn't fully translate this, but the most we were able to get out of it was "Mistake vcewos... trying to fgoqa get(?) ...everything get out of control! I(?) gh(am?) with Her now. I(?) gh iuft the(?) gsyjr mpe! Thank you Matt I am free"
With Ifrit
[-] Spoiler
Subject: Hi! (and of course, Re: Hi!, etc.)
To Ifrit
"Hey! I'm Morgan.
Is this Ifrit? I found the email in the source code of the site, but I'm not sure if this is actually correct".
From Ifrit
"I was not expecting emails, or so many, so soon. But anyone truly interested in our cause is welcome. This is Ifrit, while I am awake I can let you know anything you need within reason."
To Ifrit
"I'm so sorry if I was disturbing you, then. I hop emy email wasn't adding to the pile.
Regardless, I wanted to know if joining was still an option for me. From what I've read about on the site, it seems like most of meetings are in-person (unless I'm mistaken)? I live in Canada, and I'm still quite dependent on my parents. Trips out of the country aren't an option for me, due to my financial situation. I'm not sure if any members live nearby. How might initiation work for me, if I join?
Thank you so much for answering these, if you can. I'm really grateful."
From Ifrit
"If you wanted to come to us in the physical world that may be a bit challenging for you, in your current condition, I am afraid. We are much bigger than we were a long time ago but we are still smaller than many "Real" as some might say, religions. We are mostly on the American east coast (Florida, New york ect.) however After we finally get everything situated I will begin to seriously get through applications to join for those who are serious. I am expecting to have this all done after Sunday if we stick to schedule with no hang ups. In the mean time, check up on our theories and creed page for a little glimpse at what we are all about."
To Ifrit
"That's kind of disappointing. Still, I understand. I really hope that you guys grow big enough in the future so that international meetups are possible. I'll definitely be waiting for that day!
I'll put in my contact info later today, hopefully you can get to it when you can go through applications.
Thanks again for answering my questions."
To Ifrit
"Since you seem to be swamped right now, do you know of anyone else I could take my questions to? I don't want to be a bother."
From Ifrit
"If he is awake and set up his email properly, DW might be able to talk to you seeing as he promised to help out with the extra traffic and new members we were expecting. Drop him a line at duskworld@youshouldnthavedonethat.net if wold like to get to know another fantastic member of our family."
From Ifrit
"Don't worry, in the not so distant future we expect to be one of the biggest religious groups in all of the country. Assuming people know whats good for them. By 2017, we project having at least one grotto in every state."
With Duskworld
[-] Spoiler
(note: Dusk's name on google is "g3")
Subject: Hello! (and Re: Hello!, etc.)
To Dusk
"Hi, my name is Morgan. I was referred to you through Ifrit, I didn't want to swamp him with anymore questions, seems like he got quite a few fairly fast.
I just wanted to know what kinds of things you guys do in your position. How does administration of the site go, usually?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer these."

Ryann Foxx "Moondance Sparkle"
With Ifrit
[-] Spoiler
Subject: Hello. (And of course, Re: Hello.)
To Ifrit
"who is this?"
From Ifrit
"How did you get this email?"
To Ifrit
"Your contact page. It didn't actually show up on the page, only in the description on the search page, so I was just confirming.
Also, I think someone messed with all the dates on my laptop. What's the date, if I may ask?
PS: Heard from Alex recently?"
From Ifrit
"It is approximately September 16th 2010 1:29am EST.
Also I have not heard from Alex since the black out, which is a shame, since a certain incident resulting his friend introducing him to our group, he has been one of our greatest warriors. I hope we can find him again soon as he is a valuable asset."
To Ifrit
"Oh, thank you.
I'm curious, what exactly's going down at the party on Sunday? And, if I may ask, how late do you think it'll go? If I can go, it'll only be around 10 or 11 PM."
From Ifrit
"It is a revival and prayers to our Goddess. But my apologies as it is members only. Just as well do expect slow replies from me as oddly enough I am getting swamped with email at the moment."
To Ifrit
"Alright.
One more question, for now. Have you heard from Rosa lately? A friend recommended that I talk to her, but I couldn't find any contact information."
To Ifrit
"Additionally, please be careful. Some weird stuff's been happening lately, and it's only been getting worse as time goes on."
From Ifrit
"Rosa is my sister, I have been trying my best to keep in contact with her since the blackout. However I do not know who told you you needed to talk to her or why."
From Ifrit
"Where did you hear that?"
To Ifrit
"Don't open the door.
I hope it isn't too late."
Note: we just discovered kelbris.ogg, and we worried about him.
From Ifrit
"What are you talking about?"
To Ifrit
"Nothing, probably.
By the way, was Kelbris' body ever found? I heard he was electrocuted. but not much more."
From Ifrit
"That day in 2002 is something I do not like talking about. I was young back then and it was a crazy and awful time, but what happened had to be done. It would have hurt either way. I can't talk about it, to put it short, however you can be sure his body cannot be found anymore"
HauntedMaster (That's Me!!!)
With Ifrit
[-] Spoiler
Subject: Hello? (And again, Re: Hello. We're all very greeting, aren't we?)
To Ifrit
"Is this Ifrit from "http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/"? I know the site from a friend, he said this email was one of the best people to contact about questions and stuff. But I could also have the wrong email address, whoops. But I do have a few questions, if you are the right person! I am interested about this site!
Thank you,
HauntedMaster"
From Ifrit
"If you are serious about joining us or something of the like leave the proper contact information on our main contact page."
Note: I then do fill out the contact form. I used "Evan Patrick", my first and middle name, I said "I don't own a phone" for my phone number, my email for my email. As for the questions, I explained my "phone" situation more, and asked what it'd take to join.
To Ifrit
"Thank you, just filled out stuff on the contact us page!
Also, I read "Nekko"'s post on the home page. I hope the party goes well for! :).
Just be careful at the party, I've been ones that were so wild that people have, well... Had pretty terrible fates >_<. Maybe I'm just over-worrying. Stay on your toes either way!
Thank you,
Haunted Master"
From Ifrit
"Very good, I will be discussing new children joining the ranks with our leader as soon as possible. the policy has always been the more the merrier aside from a few small exceptions, so I am sure you will make it in. The party should go great as well, a lot of friends I can't wait to get back with again after so long. A night of fun and praises to Her is just what I have needed for a while."
To Ifrit
"Thank you so much! I'm pretty excited to join, you guys do seem like great people. Especially Nekko, he looks like a really nice/fun guy, can't wait to meet him! That being said, when do you think I'll know if I got accepted or not? Can't wait!
One last question! Why is the site "youshouldnthavedonethat.net"? Just something I'm curious about!
I'll stop sending so much emails from here on though, I bet your busy. I don't want to trouble!
Thank you,
Haunted Master.
P.s. sorry for using "Haunted Master" when gmail says my name is different. Its the name the person I refereed much earlier knows me by, the one who told me about there in the first place."
To Ifrit
"Also, I was told to try contacting you for questions, but would there be anyone who's just as good, if not better, to answer questions?
Thank you!
Haunted Master"
Mugen
With Ifrit
[-] Spoiler
(I didn't get the subject)
To Ifrit
"Be careful at your party, Matt."
Matt
Moondancer/Ryfoxx here. I emailed Matt. This is what I got:
Around the same time as last time (too tired to figure out times):
From this, we can confirm that this follows the old timeline, mostly. Additionally, we may also confirm that he is about 2117 days, 19 hours and 2 minutes behind us, or 5 years, 9 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, 1 hour, 1 minute behind us.
Morgan here - my emails can be found here and here.
Matt confirming Kelbris’s body “cannot be found” (we determined later that it's in a pond, from GetItYet.ogg)

Duskworld
Duskworld Email: http://imgur.com/667GGDv
Alex
Summary (as said by HauntedMaster)
Ifrit also gave Duskworld's email. When email was sent to him we received a cipher. His subject was g3.
We also had two people warn Ifrit about the party, although phrased them like it was bad feelings and were aside to rest of the message they sent along with the warning. A third sent a message that was straight-forwardly "be careful at the party". This was in hopes that three strangers warning mysteriously will spook him enough to be a bit more careful.”
Ciphers:
Red: Solved
Blue: Possibly Solved
Normal: Unsolved
Ben Contact Cipher: PUUHI SMID DVQJ DVVU RV GVTXSIRI TA RZMWVCF FTMUH RFVHA JDVOS!PWYH IUFOLVRL RLMD KCTI NMSS LCXXIU CKCMU CUH CKCMU OURMS CSS MD GVUDOTIH!

Ben contact page when cipher appeared: http://i.imgur.com/XdBMvzi.png
The last "sentence" is definitely correct. That means the unsolved part is as follows:
PUUHI SMID DVQJ DVVU RV GVTXSIRI TA RZMWVCF FTMUH RFVHA JDVOS!PWYH IUFOLVRL
The cipher should be considered to be one or more separate ciphers, as the key for the known part at the end (http://puu.sh/pQbFK/26c3695fe4.png) doesn't match the part at the beginning.

“Spencer” Cipher (YSHDT Guestbook, removed later) “Qexx M xlsyklx csy aivi syv jvmirh”
Rot 4, solved using Rot 22: "Matt I thought you were our friend"
“Ifrit Contact” Cipher (Ifrit’s contact page) “Mjcx fkf jg fr rq wyqfct?”
Solved with a cryptogram by Spanosa. “What did he do on sunday?”
Duskworld Email Cipher: [;rsdr dyp[ oy! O vsm’y ntrsyj! Ogtoy upi kidy ;olr upit gsyjrt! Yjod ody
Solution: “Please stop it! I can’t breath! Ifrit you just like your father! This ist(?)”
This is a keyboard cipher, the solution is the key to the left on a qwerty keyboard.
Files:
Hidden message in ogg file (Song_of_Healing_Reversed.ogg)
From this, we can tell that: Matt (referred to by his pseudonym Rodney R.) killed his adoptive father, presumably for a ritual, and that his father (most likely) was the one responsible for BEN's death.
UPDATE 7/3/2016 11:09 PM CDT
Ifrit will be dead or in danger at the party, according to a fixed version of http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/files/3914/6760/3012/jintod.ogg.
Open it in a text editor, and remove the real text at the start. Then amplify it in Audacity.
The fixed version may be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0vz2bz0wyir5p3c/hubris.ogg?dl=0
This is audio from what is presumably the party in two days.
A complete summary of day two, in chronological order, may be found here.
Also, just for clarity, Day 2 is covering the last half of day 2 and first half of day 1, and I'm writing these in the sense of a "day" is when the gm is awake doing stuff. Its a better natural flow.
Anyways, a few things to clear up:
This is a gamejack, but who cares!
We were able to find/get a mirror again.wmv that appeared yesterday, here it is:
I won't put emails into a separate thread this time. Due to better organisation, the google doc describes day 2 pretty well, and this thread will be pretty close to just mirror what's said on here.
Also, due to the vast amount of updates the site received, I'll be resorting to posting images and instead of transcribing some of the changes. And I won't be reading through the skype chat this time.
Without further ado, here are all new developments and discoveries in chronological order:
Before Midnight est
There were few updates to yshdt.net, and we picked the site clean of secrets the day before, so things were slow. There were still some things of note. Most of the stuff that happened was through emails.
Luna Prophecy's sub-header Changed to "Honesty is the Best Policy"
Pretty self-explanatory:
Ifrit's Contact Page Cipher was Solved
The solution to "Mjcx fkf jg fr rq wyqfct?" was found to be "What did he do on sunday?"
The site-wide icon became "day 2 bookmark"
And the image is the moon with a face, but its small and hard to see.
Ben's Contact Page's Title Changed to "A Sacrifice"
Another Email from Dusk was Received
Late on day 1's night (or super early on day 2's), Gregory Phillips (what's his skype/wh username?) sent an email to dusk asking where they were based. Although an earlier email confirmed that they were on east coast and included New York and Florida, Dusk responded with "bwqtiej". This was quickly deciphered into "newyork".
"Honesty is the best policy" Reverted to "Luna Prophecy"
rip honesty
"Do you honestly think you can escape me" Found in Search's Source Code
Line 54, in red.
A Few Fhings were Found in Meta-tag Descriptions
Specifically, the description meta-tag for giant is "D", and the description meta-tag for "g2" is Alex[/b]
"The Moon Children" Title Changed to "hopeless" for a Brief Second
Front Page gets Ehiped, Hides Some Stuff While Doing So
All of the posts disappeared. The description meta-tag of the front tag was found to say "Who was Mr. D?" when this happened. A new ogg is also found. Viewing its source showed a conversation between two people.
[05:18:58] .:@rem:. I was not at her house, I don't even know where she lives, what I saw was horrid though. Kelbris, his... body at the door.
[05:19:09] .:@Dani:. YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT REM
[05:19:15] .:@rem:. NO I am not lying to you Danielle
[05:19:45] .:@rem:. I do not know how, but he is back ok, but its not like he alive, you and me both know what happened to him
[05:20:39] .:@rem:. I am still trying to peice everything together too, this is fucking horrible
[05:20:49] .:@Dani:. This shit can't be real this is to much this is just a bunch of kids playing pretend.
[05:22:04] .:@rem:. I watched from afar, it did not look like a normal living person, his body looked bloated and disfigured, his skin had a green hue. Like he had just crawled out from that pond. I could hear him yelling in a gurgling voice. He was trying to get to ifrit. He wanted to talk to ifrit.
[05:23:04] .:@rem:. This IS real Danielle, this living nightmare we have made for ourselves is all to real.
[05:25:27] .:@rem:. But he did not kill Ifrit he just vanished after going to Ifrit.
[05:25:39] .:@Dani:. So who did all of this then?
The last post was ciphered, but due to the help of quipqiup, we found the solution nearly immediately:
When the interview is edited out, the .ogg plays properly. It is Skull Kid's laugh.
More Emails from Characters
At this point, a couple of emails were sent/received, and nothing else but this happened up till midnight
Morgan's Zora's Mask Helps Dusk
As a response to Dusk seeming to drown, Morgan sent an email with a photo of a zora mask to Dusk yesterday. He responded today, and it allowed him to speak without cipher, and it seemed to give him a bit of time. Please note It is capitalised.
Identity of Mr. D Revealed by Dusk
It seems like Mr. D is a paranormal entity of some sort, and his description of how he communicates makes it seem like he is the entity BEN, and is the one who censors things, and is the most likely thing that inhabited the cartridge.
[-] Spoiler
Ifrit Responds to yet Another Email
There's a contrast between Ifrit's thoughts on Dusk's safety and Dusk himself.
[-] Spoiler
Somewhere at this point, Morgan or Ryann sent a stone mask to Dusk in hopes that it'll protect him. It _may_ explain the possible cut-off in the next message
Dusk has a Terrible Fate
What's note worthy is that his fate is the same as Alex and Kelbris. We're also pretty sure that Ifrit is responsible for Kelbris, and since Dusk did mention Ifrit earlier, it seems like Ifrit is responsible.
[-] Spoiler
After this, we stopped receiving messages from Dusk altogether. I sent a youtube link to New Wave Bossa Nova to Dusk after agreement with other people. The logic is that, since it allowed Lulu to sing, it'd allow Dusk to speak for a little while longer. We speculate that, if it did have an affect, it was that it made Rosa talk to use through Ifrit's email.
Ifrit's Sibling Hijacks his Email
When Mugen sent his "be careful at your party, Matt" yesterday, it failed to send he used .com instead of .net. He sent it again. He got a reply, but the sender said he wasn't Matt
[-] Spoiler
We Compiled pPssworded Files
Things died down for a bit. While waiting, we put all the files that needed a password in one spot.

We also discovered 23 isn't password protected unlike arc 2
Midnight
When midnight hit, almost every core page that can be found through tabbed, especially the front page. It seemed like the website jumped ahead to the future for a bit. It was pretty spooky. And TwelveTribes released a video and some people in the skype chat got excited about that and it confused some people enough to think it was related and we nearly emailed one of yshdtnet's characters asking what it means that "a drowning man will hold onto a snake.
The changes to the front page were overwhelming. I'll take care of the other pages first, and get to the front page last, where i'll list post changes after I mention a few noteworthy things. Most of the non-front pages had their "Moon Children" title changed, their meta-tag description changed, and body content changed.

Home page notes
Again, I'll have to link an image. All of the posts there are replaced with ciphers; and their timestamp became "NULL" except for Ifrit and Drowned's, both which were 2016. Each member's avatar broke, except for Drowned. Drowned's avatar was black unless you hovered over it, and then it becomes Link's elegy statue.
Duskworld23's username also changed to Darkworld23.
Some of our guestbook messages were edited. The one linking the discord was edited to say "how Amusing", and three consecutive guest names were changed to "B", "E", and "N".
A song played, it was pretty spooky, but it wasn't easily identifiable as a Zelda song. I think it was one of them, I dunno, someone confirm this.
The edited posts will be from "newest" to "oldest"
Drowned's post
No subject, simply said "You shouldn't be reading this."
First Nekko
A cipher using numbers 0-6. Its not octal as that is 0-7.

It was eventually decoded to "Trapped in a never ending dream."

Binary cipher, and a mention on a change of name.

DW here. You may notice the slight name change, figured it was symbolic. We're back for what looks like to be for good.

The cipher decodes into: "Mom I am scared, please help. Can you hear me!? MOM! I CAN SEE HIM HE IS STILL IN THE ROOM. HIM AND THAT GREEN THING! MOM! DAD! PLEASE HELP!"
Nekko's Second Post
It was simply "Cj:2H3\N.10ekC;/p(oNG]RJBB5_L//n]6F0) Ec>K+04\m.EFNBjE%bs8@:ja;EFia$FCJ]m0eR*UA1hG5C2!". We have yet to decipher it.
Ifrit's Post
This was the only one to have a subject, which was "!". The body was: "Do you know what you are getting into? The game does not stop just because you want to quit playing. I AM STILL ALIVE." His timestamp is "07/05/16 @ 12:00", which is /not/ from 2010.
Guestbook changes
They can be viewed here. Some of the guestbook's posts were changed around. Most weren't though, and the most notable one (if the most notable one, I didn't look into the guestbook too much) was the one where the usernames changed to B, E, and N.
Before the site reverted to normal, we received one more mail from Rosa
Matt's Been Away a Long Time
Rosa said that Matt's been away a long time. That suggested the emails we did get before Rosa weren't Matt, but then again, Rosa's in 2016. Those Ifrit messages could have been 2010, and that is a long time. Still, here's the email:

The Site Reverts to Normal
After Midnight, the site resets, although with a few changes. Although at 4:00am est, the homepage title changes rapidly, but I'm going to just post a picture for this, so that'll be described in one section. Here are some things that happened since it reverted back to normal:
Creed Page Changes
All the creeds were removed, and now it says "Sometimes She scares me" (note that "she" is capitalised)
New Ifrit Post
It should be note that there are random capitalizations in his post. They spell out "Mr. D sees". We couldn't find a pattern in the weird wave text at the bottom. The captializations and bottom paragraph were eventually removed.
[-] Spoiler
Contact Pages Changes
Drowned's stop existing. That page was really scary. Also, Ben's contact now says "Running out of time.".
Title Name Change Spam
There were a lot of these, so its much easier for me and you to read them all here.
It should be note that here are the two bible verses that are referenced:
John 3:24: "The one who keeps Gods commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us."
John 4:23: "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."
Another Hidden Message in an .ogg
Line 198, which is supposedly the 423rd line, has this message: "The giant is merely a puppet. I require one who may wear a mask".
I think this has been found before, but its in the google doc, so I'm putting here anyways.
Another .ogg Found
This time, its simply called "D". Its the swamp theme from MM, forward. It can be listened to
.
Final Thoughts
It seems like Ifrit's the bad guy, and we're on the final day. But it seems like we can still send songs/masks to the characters, and I'm pretty sure Rosa will accept them.
Page Changes:
Theory page, Luna Prophecy’s sub-header changed to “Honesty is the best policy”.
Image: http://i.imgur.com/2we1jTW.png
Speculation abounding about the scrambled “skullkid” in Ifrit’s contact page prior to the cipher. Mugen theorized that Matt will be made a puppet of someone who will attack Alex and Spencer at or after the party, resulting in Alex being “freed” and Spencer possibly being killed.
The icon for the site was noted to have changed, the new one is titled “Day 2 Bookmark Icon”
It is confirmed that Day 2 has started.
Countdown on: http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/contact/ben/
The page reads: “You couldn’t change anything...What makes you think you can this time?”
Will end on July 5th at midnight, in any time zone, as the counter is based on local system time. Though thanks to Dusk’s latest email, it is most likely EST time as they are based in New York.
In-universe, it ends September 19, 2010 at midnight EST, presumably when Kelbris shows up at Matt's party and Matt (attempts to?) drown DW.
Pretty sure there are no more hidden pages on the site as of 11:26 MST. If there are, we’ll need exact URLs instead of hunting through the search page.
10:39 - The contact page of BEN has changed its title back to “A Sacrifice.”
“Honesty is best policy” reverted to “Luna Prophecy”
Source code on Search is found to have the text: “Do you honestly think you can escape me?”
Image: http://imgur.com/fmejBHO
The description meta tag of “giant” is “D”.
Desc. meta tag of “g2” is “Alex”.
“Moon children” text was replaced with “hopeless”
http://imgur.com/BdT1oDE
Everything on front page is gone; description meta tag says “who is mr. d”?
view-source:http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/files/6714/6767/5945/Get_it_yet.ogg is in the source code of the Home page after all the posts were deleted. Contains the text below:
[05:18:19] .:@Dani:. Did it do this!? That fucking thing!? I knew this was all terrible, but how!? It did not have a body yet.
[05:18:58] .:@rem:. I was not at her house, I don't even know where she lives, what I saw was horrid though. Kelbris, his... body at the door.
[05:19:09] .:@Dani:. YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT REM
[05:19:15] .:@rem:. NO I am not lying to you Danielle
[05:19:45] .:@rem:. I do not know how, but he is back ok, but its not like he alive, you and me both know what happened to him
[05:20:39] .:@rem:. I am still trying to piece everything together too, this is fucking horrible
[05:20:49] .:@Dani:. This shit can't be real this is too much this is just a bunch of kids playing pretend.
[05:22:04] .:@rem:. I watched from afar, it did not look like a normal living person, his body looked bloated and disfigured, his skin had a green hue. Like he had just crawled out from that pond. I could hear him yelling in a gurgling voice. He was trying to get to ifrit. He wanted to talk to ifrit.
[05:23:04] .:@rem:. This IS real Danielle, this living nightmare we have made for ourselves is all to real.
[05:25:27] .:@rem:. But he did not kill Ifrit he just vanished after going to Ifrit.
[05:25:39] .:@Dani:. So who did all of this then?
When this text is taken out of the .ogg, it becomes Ben’s/Skull Kid’s laugh
Ben’s contact date updated: http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/contact/ben/.
EST was added as blacktext under the timer. It still seems to be based on system time though.

Misc:
The Again.wmv mirror can be found here.
After midnight or so, the site fucked up drastically. This is referred to as the Distortion, to disambiguate from the Glitch that occurred in the original story.
Page Changes:
A paste of the front page changes + other page changes may be found here.
After a while (2:27am), every page went back to normal, except for the front page and a few others.
Creed page change: http://prntscr.com/boxt84
The website eventually went to normal, but with a new post by Ifrit: http://i.imgur.com/9DjGYGp.png
With the capitals spelling out “Mr.D sees.”
The random capitals were soon removed, as well as the bottom part.
http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/contact/drowned/ no longer exists
http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/contact/ben/ now says: “Running out of time.”

6:44 EDT, a new OGG was discovered (Watching_you.ogg): Found as file 46. However, at 7:35 EDT, this file no longer exists as file 46 but is still hosted somewhere on the site.
It has knocking, increasing in volume each time. It also has a very quiet reverse Woodfall playing, as well as unintelligible talking.

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0EEdXRNRRtk - clipped and fixed copy, “I’ve recieved the email” possibly.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0umCRdiJE41 - Not “Hi, where’d you find this?”, but “Kai, where’d you find this?” See below.
Working transcript:

Watching_you.ogg was a slowed down and reversed audio cut from a livestream by The Goon. Apparently the audio comes from the discovery of Alex’s email, hence “Kai, where’d you find this?”

YSHDT.net is back up again.
Some of the news posts is changed; someone record what’s different.
Screenshots will be posted.
Ben’s contact page now says “The timer resets. They whisper for you to stop…”, and doesn’t play music
Search doesn’t have a search bar anymore, it only says "Looking for something?".
Header on Ben's contact page changed to "You do not understand what you are doing."
Looking at the Page Info for Tyler’s page shows an image file called It.png. (Link’s Elegy Statue’s mouth, upside down.)
Update: Every page seems to have this image hidden in it. “It” has infected the entire website.
Also on every page’s Page Info is this: msapplication-TileImage - files/6614/6783/1273/seeyou.png
Using this extension on the site gives us this creepy thing. (Both images are likely reminders that She is watching.)
Nekko’s first post says: “After we get everything back in order again we gotta talk about getting back in direct contact with Mr.D, for those who don't know we never found it a proper vessel before the blackout (and we are still working on that heh) until then we can still get small messages from him here and there. but i would like to get that done soon, last was heard from it, I was supposed to ascend next xp”
In the first cycle, a vessel (Tyler) had been found.
It is theorized that perhaps we can acquire the testimonials in Nekko’s possession.
Day Five, July 7 2016 Developments:
A complete summary of day five, in chronological order, may be found here.
Page Changes:
The Song Of Double Time was played 4 times, advancing the countdown to the Final Day. The website’s title then changed several times to the following messages:
“Did you think that would work”
“The game may not play itself”
“Rogue”
“Your turn”
The middle two appear to be in response to chat comments that It played the song. It seems instead a rogue player did.
The “rogue” used a ♦ as their username, the same as in Mugen’s Skype name. It is believed the rogue intended to frame Mugen of wrongdoing to create a rift between the players. However, Mugen was still asleep at the time, and did not know the site was up.
Shortly after, Player Astartus attempted to submit a gif of Deku Link knocking the Ocarina out of Skull Kid’s hand. The post originally said “LET. GO. (Gif link)”. Before it was accepted, the comment was edited, the link to the GIF and the accompanying text replaced with “Try again”
This led to the “Did you think that would work” title page mentioned above.
As of 8:52 AM MST, The Truth page requires a login to view.
11:18 am est (once site was up): New Wave Bossa Nova was played by Kira and accepted.
11:46 AM EST-1:17 PM EST: Discord user Damsel (Ryker Harrison) creates a log of all the downloadable files’ new locations and password-protected status, as well as copies of accessible files
~2 PM EST: Reportedly, someone sent the Song of Time and got the website reset.
2:58 PM EST (And probably for a good while before that): Site is locked again. Login screen reads “Sign in to:”
3:28 PM EST: Site says “Sign in to The Moon Children” again
11:30 AM MST:

There was a second screenshot that’s not uploading which said:”Who took my brother?”
~2:35am July 8th
“Sign into ‘MISTAKE’ For Who?”
Emails:
Some emails can be found here, here, and here. We confirmed that it is Rosa talking to us. (All times are in MST)
11:36 AM EST: Greth recieved an email from ifritmoon@youshouldnthavedonethat.net:
We have spoken before. Many times, you may not remember. The game has occurred beyond the life time of one. I am Rosa.

7:49 PM EST: http://imgur.com/Xna7qiB Email from Rosa recieved by BGK Twist3dPrism
Who is Ryker Harrison? Ryker Harrison is a name of another player, Damsel.
“I have one final short window in time. Inform the BGK. Tell them Beeb is wise. The next step for the key to the truth involves Kevin. Be careful, he is much more insidious than you know.”
http://imgur.com/AIWm3hZ Ryker’s Email.
Kevin is mod Insidiae’s name.
Rosa was referring to Beeb’s theory.
"During the "Beast" Q&A, we were told in order to reach The Truth, something had to be unleashed. After our contact with Rosa in the second cycle, we were told we only needed to focus on g4 (Kelbris) but that a sacrifice was needed. Thanks to the original Moon Children event we know using the Song of Healing unleashes Kelbris, but he kills Matt and Rosa in the process. I think THEY are the sacrifice. We need to unleash Kelbris, lose Matt and Rosa as a sacrifice in order to get closer to the Truth. By doing so, we will also reach Kevin, who is our next step according to the latest Rosa email."
In Arc 2, it is believed Kelbris got to Matt, and Kevin eventually appeared after Ifrit disappeared. Ifrit’s post was replaced by Kevin. If we unleash Kelbris and he takes Matt, Kevin may appear in the next cycle.
DO NOT PLAY THE SONG OF HEALING (or any song for that matter) IMMEDIATELY. We need to plan this out carefully. Kelbris needs to be controlled. Too late for that, apparently
Ciphers:
R Page Description: “R vnhbd”
Using a Key of R and shift of 0, it translated to “A voice”
(This is what led to Kira and Greth submitting New Wave Bossa Nova. Kira’s may have been accepted because it was submitted first.)

Day Six, July 8 2016 Developments:
Also, an ooc day passes at 6:00am est, as around this time developments come to a halt (presumingly as the GM sleeps).
Feel free to try any pick information from “yesterday” that should belong in here.
Page Changes:
2:00pm EST?: The website’s sign in reverted to “Sign in to The Moon Children”.
4:23PM EST: Site title changed to “Sign in to 423” http://imgur.com/TMbYIAp It lasted until 4:24. It probably does this every day and we only just now noticed.
Emails:
At 8:54 PM EDT, Beeb sent an email addressed to either Matt or Rosa asking when the “playing field” (referring to the site through Rosa’s wording) would return.
At 11:26 EDT, Beeb received a reply from Matt (but didn’t see it until 5AM), hinting that the site would re-appear the next day. A reply to Matt was sent by Beeb around 10AM EDT.
Screencap http://i.imgur.com/X5RCX3R.png
In addition, we knew the MC wanted to keep some of their pre-blackout members out of the new site, according to something Spencer said, (quoted below) but it seems there was treason in the Order, and this may be why they wanted privacy on certain matters.
“If you guys know of any of "our guys", feel free to link them to this site, but try and keep it somewhat exclusive. Some of our old siblings (and you know who) were not meant to be part of our group.” -Spencer, in his post on the site, titled “Rebirth”
Misc:
Around 9 PM EDT, HauntedMaster posted a poll to determine when (or if) to play Song Of Healing.
http://www.strawpoll.me/10701809
“Don’t play Song of Healing” will only be accepted if it reaches above 50% of votes (all other options imply they vote for playing it)
Options are:
Immediately
A Few hours (to ask Ifrit stuff)
Second Day
Third Day
Don’t Play Song of Healing
Outside of the poll, the consensus is to play it to Matt. It was argued that, since Matt and Spencer seem to have switched which side of the loyalty fence they’re on compared to the original, we can afford to get rid of Matt, even if it means we lose Rosa as well, which may or may not happen.
Day Seven, July 9 2016 Developments:
Page Changes:
At approx 9:30PM EDT, the page changed to Sign in to 3. http://i.imgur.com/AKbSRgu.png
Speculation is that this is a countdown of hours till the site goes up again. A new cycle could be starting around midnight EDT
At 10:03 PM EDT, page changed to Sign in to 2. This confirms it's counting down to midnight.
At 11:01 PM EDT, the site briefly changed to Sign in to 11 11, then changed to Sign in to 1.
http://imgur.com/YqkCQCq
11:59 PM EDT: Sign in to 0, then switched to Sign in to [blank]

A user submitted the song of healing early as a joke because it was a Siivagunner song and was actually the song of unhealing and King Kong. (That wasn’t accepted)
Someone submitted the actual Song of Healing posing as MFGreth (it was his video and they used his name and assumedly email).
Title changed to http://imgur.com/mui14x9 after (So soon?)

The combination of the fake Greth’s Song of Healing and the real Greth’s NWBN seems to have allowed us to talk to Kelbris.
WE HAVE 3 QUESTIONS FOR KELBRIS
Kelbris Q&A
Page is all back to normal. Music on homepage is still bongo bongo though, and guestbook comments from Kelbris Q&A. Ifrit’s image is gone and a broken link.
Ifrit’s contact page no longer has text on it either.
Did someone screencap that troll question about Sun’s Song? -Avia
Robert did, but it became black on him. Guess we can count it lost… -Mugen
Tell him to play the sun song to light it up --Loiathal
Wait it was on Goon’s stream, guess we can use that then.
~4:00-4:15 AM EDT: A handful of players (first Orion, then Greth, then BGK Twi3d Prism) who put their phone number in the contact us section received phone calls from a 423 area code. All calls were short and nothing but silence. Upon returning the call, they were met with Song of Unhealing. Repeat calls offered sounds of a child drowning, yelling underwater, a very distinct - but garbled - “Help!” And other subsequent calls were answered with silence.
(423 area code is associated with East Tennessee)
~4:20ish EST AM: Greth leaves New Wave Boss Nova on the voicemail, unsure if this caused the following reaction.
4:32 EST - BGK Twist3d Prism called the number back. Something on the other end answers, and after a moment of silence, slowly whispered “Don’t… Open… The Truth.”
Number starts calling others and it turns out the phrase ACTUALLY says “You have to get into the truth.” (I want to say that I think, since it was three different entities talking, that it may still have said “Don’t Open The Truth”. Maybe that was BEN getting through, but Ben and Tyler talking to others telling them the opposite)
(At this point too many people are calling to keep track of who was calling)
Members are getting called back with gasping/laughing/screaming sounds from the number.
BGK Twist3d Prism received another call. A crying male was heard, before uttering “It hurts”.
~3:00 - 4:00 AM EDT: Curiously High recorded three of the four phone calls they made last night. They are as follows:
1st - Voicemail: The sound of drowning could be heard, as well as a distinct, but garbled “Help!” in between the bubbling sounds. Same as fifth call. Unrecorded.
2nd - Voicemail: Song of unhealing played, briefly interrupted by the sound of drowning. [1]
3rd - Call met with silence. Other end hung up after 30 seconds. (recorded, but unnecessary to add, as it’s a 30 second clip of silence.)
4th - Call answered, silence. Curiously High played New Wave Bossa Nova, then waited. Other end of the phone line spoke, in a raspy, loud whisper, “YOU HAVE TO GET INTO THE TRUTH!” over and over. Curiously High hung up after several repetitions. [2]
5th, much later call, made ~4:00 PM EDT: Voicemail, the same drowning sounds as first call. [3]
Concurrently, BGK Twist3d Prism was texting back and forth to the number, screencap is here:
After which, Prism called the number, and said, “I’m speaking. I want to know the truth, a way forward.” To which the being on the other end responded, “[unclear], go back go back GO BACK GO BACK GO BACK!” [4]

Astartus modified the file. It’s a backwards/remixed version of his song The Vast Glub, which, when initially compiled into the album, contained a strange glitch that increased the song’s length from 4:13 to 4:23.

This time, the testimonial survived, but they are only by people that the cult considers traitors. He says they on the website somewhere for “those in the know”. The testimonials were later found and cracked, as seen below in the “Files” section..
At one point late at night, “The Curious Highblood” said that the site’s main banner changed to “two trees in a plain with the moon” and that it was very green, greener the the forest banner from arc 2.

I have both a family of the Moon and a family by the dictionary definition now thanks to The Moon Children hahahaha! When my son is born next month, I can't wait for him to learn the ways of Her along with his dad! Thank you everyone hahahahaha! My brother has even come around as well (the crazy old man hahaha) so get ready for one more. Hope you are ready for the boys to finally get back together Hanky ol pal, hahahahaha!
William Reynolds (2001): Luna has helped me through such dark times. For those of you who know, my brother was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. He suffered for a full year with no hope of recovery and had no positive reaction to the treatments. Due to complications one of his lungs collapsed a month ago. The beeping of the heart monitor, him wheezing between cries for help “It hurts mom it hurts!” “Will, please don't leave just yet, I'm so scared”, Was too much for me to bare. I know why I was forsaken, I just could not take seeing it anymore. I could not be there to watch him die and now he is gone.
I felt alienated in my own home, labeled a cruel monster for my incapacity for my brothers suffering. My mother could not cope, and after a long nearly catatonic state of despair ended her own life. After the suicide of my mother coupled with the death of my brother, my dad descended into a chronic state of depression and drunkenness. He had no tolerance for me, a sick weakling. Had I not found my true family I would not know what to do with myself. I hate it, I just fucking hate it. Everything my life was before now. But with Her I am at last free and I know with Her power, She can mend all that has been broken.
I am sorry Justin, I am so sorry. When She brings you back, please forgive me. Please. I miss you bro. I love you.
Hank Hubbard (1990): This has been the most enlightening and inspirational experience of my short and yet long life. Even now at age 53 I am but still a child. I spend my more recent days with my now wife Ana, as she prefers, awaiting the birth of my son later this year contemplating the ways of our Goddess. I hope that soon as a family we may together experience the glory of ascension, the euphoria of flying as gods in the realms beyond. To shape worlds as we see fit.
Glory unto our most exalted Goddess.”
Hank Hubbard is Kelbris? This confirms at least the theory that Ben was indeed 12 years old when he died in 2002. And that Ana was indeed Kelbris’ wife.
Linking the information gained in Testimonials.rtf and the phone calls received and made last night, we can assume that the male voice crying “it hurts” made to Prism was linked to the testimonial of William Reynolds.
Some small, possibly suspicious things in the docs:
In Jeremy’s testimonial, there is an extra space between the word “son” and “is” in the sentence “When my son is born next month”. Perhaps the name of his son was removed?
Jeremy’s testimonial contains an unusual amount of laughing.
There is an extra space before “after” in William’s testimonial, at the sentence “After the suicide of my mother coupled…”
Looking into the source of the .rtf file, both Jeremy and William’s testimonial are on the same line (within source) - but Hank’s testimonial is on its own line.
It might be possible that these testimonials are edited - and perhaps some of them removed. Nekko does mention he didn’t remember there being so little testimonials, after all.

12:48 AM EST: Dr. Smashem asks if the text at the top of get_it_yet.ogg was there before. It was, except for the last line. Here’s the updated log. The last line used to be:
[05:26:42] .:@rem:. Not Kelbris, it was Sda nunnas wiq kapajy i kateuk bmp sda weqtmk sdis kuqs fa qnpait. Deq fmppmwat qml qdijj fa i smmj sm fpelc sda bmup ilt mnal sda cisa. Deq fjmmt qml eq sda qirpebera sm ceva Es bmpk el sdeq paijk. Wdy eq da qkejelc?
The above cipher translates to: “The puppet was merely a medium for the wisdom that must be spread. His borrowed son shall be a tool to bring the four and open the gate. His blood son is the sacrifice to give It form in this realm. Why is he smiling” This is the same cipher that appeared in view-source:http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/files/8514/6774/4797/HKBBDIN.jpg
Now it is this:
[05:26:42] .:@rem:. Not Kelbris, it was I
The encrypted message about the puppet is gone and the letter “I” has been inserted instead.
It is entirely possible that other .ogg files may be updated in the future.
Day Ten, July 12 2016 Developments:
Page Changes:
~11:30pm EST: Title changes to Get it yet? http://i.imgur.com/CaqpBD3.png

12:17am EST: Last two lines of the IRC post changed.
[05:26:42] .:@rem:. Not Kelbris, it was Ifrit!
[05:28:43] .:@rem:. He was stumbling around and acting like a fucking lunatic, shouting and mumbling to himself. Saying all that shit K used to go on about, but like he was in a fucking trance. I AM NOT LYING TO YOU
Has it gone back? I still “it was I”
It was in the ID skype
On the about page, Ifrit’s name was temporarily changed to “Matt Hubbard”. It changed back to Rodney R. for a while, but it now says “Matt H.”

I used to think his religious faith was what was keeping him together but he started getting a little weird 4 years ago and I was honestly thinking about calling child ser~ices then, I really should ha~e done that.' searches continue for the missing s~kgnasl.”
1:43 EDT - This was found in the home’s source page: "Kevin, bring him to us and be sure the unseen cycle starts no more. We shall end It before It can re start Its game. This shall honor your new title. Glory to the Mother and the path of truth."
1:43 EDT - The posts on main page were changed into various ciphers
Header - WHY DID YOU DO THAT
1st Post - Sorry Ale, Im actually not gonna e able to pull through on the room SPLITing plan I hake some ps cl hb ylbolb I am forcing on fith some nef rienbs. It's this feirb ylbolb grb kb rob mtrylg cgbhbo yeah I cnof thats not a goob euse to scip out, I promise net time or sure though. Really loocing orfarb to meeting you roblomp. (undetermined)
2nd Post - (insert here)
3rd Post - It was a mistake, I know now I needed to be lying, eothe wrong people. We really are children after all eh Tom? We just didn't know what the fuck we were getting ourselves into.
4th Post - Hey Kevin mind if I come over tomorrow? I wanted to hang out before I head off to college. This Alex guy is kind of weird and he is probably going to be my only company the entire time.
2:51 EDT - We found the contact page of a certain J (which is Jeremy, from the testimonials) (http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/j), who at first, greet us with this message: “Glad you could make it hahaha”. He then proceed with the following:
"This is hard to pull off but It is not the only one who can do these kinds of things"
"But I gotta keep this hidden, on the down low you might want to say hahahahaha."
"Who am I? Just some old man, but not a crazy one, he is just dead sad to say. Nope I ain't my brother."
"Time has not been good to me, I have been in this game for a lot of it. But I probably should have just stuck around with ol Mr.Drowned. At least then I might be resting hahahahaha" (which told us that Mr.D is actually Mr.Drowned).
"Not my brother , my brother is just dead sad to say . Strange though , you would think after all he got mixed up in he would be somewhere in here . Devine coincadence is strange like that hahahaha ."
"If you have anything to ask a dirty old traitor then ask away. Not long till It sees what I am doing here."
We then proceed to ask him what did he do to be considered a traitor. He answer us with: “ "You call yourself a traitor, but what exactly did you do?" Hahahahaha no no no boy I am not the traitor. They call me that, or they did I think. Back then when I left with hank to follow his words.”
"Jeremy, what happened at the party?" You oughta be calling me sir boy, I'm old enough to be your grandpa hahahaha. I can't be sure if you mean anything past 1998 I left with hank when he started speaking what they called "insanity" at first. They sure changed their tune when they saw the kind of power his words could display but they didn't quite wanna say the full truth. It's hidden between the lines though, they wanna pretend he died in 1998 but they did not go right out and say it either.
"Make it snappy, being like this will never compare to when I had skin and bones, but it beats what comes when It get on to you. I wanna get my patooty out of here before it catches on hahahaha!"
“4 more question and I am out of here.”
"Why did they claim Hank died in 1998?"
It was something they wanted to get behind them and try to cover up the movement he had started. They wanted to take credit for his work without pointing anyone else to where that work led on to.
"Sir, how can we get to The Truth?"
Now that's right polite of you. But I can't really be sure how. But I can say something bad is on the other side. Real REAL bad for all of us, and in some ways even for It. If you manage to get in there you better choose really carefully what you do next. The power I sense behind that wall is not nothin I would want sittin by my bed side hahahaha
"Jeremy what was the name of the old website for the Moon Children? The one from 1998?"
It was an old BBS I done went and forgot the name of. This gas masked fella was the one who threw it together. Mr.Drowned he liked to call himself. I never knew why he did though. He said "A trophy name for my victory in the future." and some stuff about stealing the flesh of those yet born. But I see someone has been playing around with time in what little ways they could and this time around ol Mr.Drowned lost his body, but I guess he still managed to work things out without one.
"Wait how did Jeremy get on this site like he is?"
Well I was stuck somewhere else for a while, another place where time kept looping, these things seem to happen with the not so dead who just didn't like how they went off, and I suppose you could say I among many am guilty of that hahahaha. I just hope my son is ok after all of this. To be sure he is I try to keep up with these unfolding events and maybe change how they turn out. That my boy is the "why" hahahaha!
“You had better hurry up before It's number comes up. /search and /search for "your only chance"
3:37 EDT - J’s page is not available anymore.
3:47 EDT - BGK Velvet was able to find the search bar during the Glitch (http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/search/search/?search_paths%5B%5D=&query=your+only+chance&submit=Submit).
A webpage named book (http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/book/) has the guestbook in it.
MFGreth sent Reset.mp4, then the home page title changed to the following (each time we refresh the page):
It's worth noting between J's page disappearing and me sending RESET.mp4, we agreed on it, because there was a 40 minute countdown timer on the front page and BEN was freaking out ina threatening manner with WHAT HHAVE YOU DONE, WHERE IS HE etc
At some point, it also said YOU SHOULDN’T BE HERE but it is not clear where in the string of messages it fits in.
"If you manage to see him again"
“please say hello to my son for me”
“let him know his dad forgives him”
“And I still love him even after what he did”
“his name is h”
The page then proceeded to shutdown.
Other day 4 notes:
Insidiae’s profile pic’s alt text is “r.jpg” (before glitch actually)
During glitch, someone’s alt text was “another R.jpg’
Second poster’s alt text is “father of lies’
Ben’s contact page(?) has the desc “Your mother? She is sleeping” (without the ending quote)
“Death opens the cage” was in Tyler’s contact page
Loding screen seemed to be this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/199427810970959872/202666331630338048/IMG_2194.PNG
This was in the source of the front page during day 4: “"Kevin, bring him to us and be sure the unseen cycle starts no more. We shall end It before It can re start Its game. This shall honor your new title. Glory to the Mother and the path of truth."”
This was played on BEN’s contact page: http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/files/8814/6812/2656/Try_again.ogg (It’s this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0OYozGxiv4 in reverse.) However, this song is a reference to Zelda’s 1 ending theme (and part of the ending theme is the game over theme). Towards the 21 second mark, the Skull Kid’s laugh can be heard.
This was played on the home page: http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/files/4114/6838/6848/day4.ogg (Cavern theme from MM)
What if we sent a MM save file to the guest book? Maybe we’ll get a different save file back?
Should we present Keaton’s Mask next cycle? Assuming we get a next cycle http://www.strawpoll.me/10734371
Day Twelve, July 13 2016 Developments:
Nothing at all happened. Another “rest” day to review our notes and plan for the next day.
Day Fourteen, July 15 2016 Developments:
Page Changes:
~7:50-7:55 PM EDT - Website’s title changed multiple times, spelling out “Soon” “Soon I will be free,” “I have escaped once again,” “for now,” “but soon.” “3”
7:57 PM EDT - Site appears to be preparing for a Q&A again. 3 questions.
“Who is speaking to us?” Tyler
“How do we help Tyler?” By getting to the Truth
(after this point, the site went down. It then flashed to “Kill It”, went down, then back up to “Kill me”. It went down, then up to “11 11 11”, then “1”)
“How do we kill you?”
"It has rules it must go by in order to be as It is. All creatures like It seem to. When you pass the wall you will be greeted with Its power only for a brief moment. In this time you will have the chance to stop the game. You will be able to turn It off. If you take this chance, you can stop It forever."
Day Sixteen, July 17 2016 Developments:
Page Changes:
7/17/2016 12:09 AM EST
Title of ifrit’s contact page is “fj6rt”
Title of Ben’s contact page is now “Ben” instead of “BEN”
7/17/2016 ??:?? EST
Site down/Login screen
7/17/2016 ??:?? EST
Ifrit’s contact page title changes to ???.
Emails:
7/17/2016 09:30 AM EST
Kaimeera reported the first email sent from the Jadusable email.
The From email address name translates to “423” on the keyboard.
D.R. (from Discord) reported the second email received.
Apparently, D.R. had personal info in his email, hence the reply’s contents being omitted.
At 5:35 PM EDT, Kaimeera decided to look at the email again to determine if there was anything pertinent in the email. She found coordinates to a body of water on the western Florida Peninsula. The exact location is being kept private by Kai and Mugen to avoid the potentially problematic reaction of the players when it is inevitably determined who happens to be living nearby.
Ryuk, AKA Kira, stated he received an email from Ifrit. His email came 2 minutes after the Kai/D.R. email, at 8:55 AM EDT.
The information from this email is exactly the same as the other two, with the exception of the time.
Day Seventeen, July 18 2016 Developments:
Page Changes:
12:23 EST, title changed to simply “Insidiae”
http://imgur.com/a/hQJdn
12:24 EST, title of Insidiae's contact page is “Its not nice to pry”
Site is back up. BGM has changed to “Destroyed Violin Beat (Dark Rap Instrumental)” aka “The Rewind” in the Hubris OST.
Emails:
Kevin/Insidiae
Receiving emails back from Kevin (Insidiae):
https://gyazo.com/5ce2f2c9b5b0fbd2264a6c6c1b9d1250
This one was about moderator on website. It’s implied Kevin already has someone in mind, possibly this “Seth” person he’s been talking to, aka “Mase” on an IRC snippet we found later.
http://i.imgur.com/g5DO7Ut.png
This one was about other things. There are two sides to this conflict.
Ciphers:
The source of the Day 1 FavIcon was found to contain a large block of ASCII85. The block translates to the following:
Image of source ASCII85: http://imgur.com/IEGARkN
Paste of ASCII85: http://pastebin.com/Qanx697H (can translate with Paul Schou’s Decoder)
The decoded message is down below. It can be moved here if that’s more appropriate, but having it both here and there seems to be redundant.
Files:
Within the source file for the BEN image on Ifrit’s contact page, another cipher was found.
(view-source:http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/files/6614/6873/2231/BEN.gif):
" No child this is his body but I am not him. You are to be just like this corpse however. You will bear this mask as well and work for Its will. Know the ways of the 4 and work it slowly into the new covenant. Through your work you will unlock the truth both here and in the world for all. Can you hear it? Those are the whispers of your salvation. Come Mathew,[sic] you have a task to complete.
LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS WITHIN"
Kaimeera’s post in Skype:
[2:40:18 PM] BGK Renee: We took Ben.GIF from Ifrit's page
[2:40:28 PM] BGK Renee: Opened it up in Notepadd++
[2:40:31 PM] BGK Renee: Got the first message (Above ^)
[2:40:37 PM] BGK Renee: Deleted everything from RIFF WAVE and up (Also made a second one with the Header included to get the MP3, made a third one of just dropping it in Audacity, and finally Astartus gave me another one to run.)

5:49 PM EST - File 59 “cracked” (used the same password as in the original, thelensoftruth). Gave us mhftt.rtf, which was blank when opened in Word. Opening it in notepad, we can see that it was made in LibreOffice. It has some basic formatting in it. Backup copy may be found here.
As observed by Loiathal, file 59 could be blank because Matt isn’t around anymore.
Thorin found a cipher in the source code of the Majora’s Mask favicon. Once decoded (details further up), it contained an IRC log between Insidiae, Rem, and Seth.
[13:12:13] .:@rem:. yeah the jeremy guy caused a lot of trouble too on his way out. He was good friends with hank.
[13:15:19] .:@kevi:. Alex needs to not go snooping around with the traitors again, SERIOUSLY.
[13:17:37] .:@seth:. What ever happened to Jeremys brother though?
[13:19:12] .:@rem:. I dont really know actually, based on alex's description of a things he saw before we went to get him from his ordeal. He met with him unknowingly and was given the item in question by him. We are still trying to peice together what hank was doing. But that cartridge, which alex seems to have lost, is a big part of the puzzle. He really seems to have had a lot more access to power than we are ready for the full order to know.
[13:27:09] .:@kevi:. Hey Mase did you get the invite to the private dev chat?
[13:32:31] .:@seth:. Yeah sorry I did, I'll be on later to discuss our work.
[13:35:33] .:@rem:. Private?
[13:36:42] .:@kevi:. Hey hey just a game we are working on.
[13:37:19] .:@rem:. Private is a bad work in this chat Insidiae, watch it.
[13:37:59] .:@kevi:. Don't lose your shit Kayd, its just a game.
[13:38:23] .:@rem:. Isn't it all? Again, watch yourself Kevin, you are new around here and a lot of people feel uneasy about you already.
Misc:
Haunted Master theorizes that the ARG is a reboot of Mr. Hall’s story. It can be read here.
Insidiae called Rem “Kayd” implying that he is Kayd Hendricks, alias Ryukaki.
Day Eighteen, July 19 2016 Developments:
Page Changes:
At 6:26 PM EDT: “faggymcgee333” saw an update to the site, a new comment to the moderator log. The avatar was a crop of the elephant man pic symbolizing Kelbris. This was confirmed by Kevin Marks, Mugen, and Ryann Moondancer.
(Taken on Mugen’s laptop. Cropped version pending.)
Two minutes later, at 6:28, Ryann reported that the post was gone. Mugen confirmed that the post had been replaced by a post by Insidiae, commenting on Alex mingling with the “traitors” and getting a book from them, which was done without permission from Mr.D, followed by a rant against them, calling them dangerous and filled with “insane blasphemers” before mentioning that there is going to be a new mod, whom we “might already know” and just might be Seth.
(Also taken on Mugen’s laptop. Cropped version pending.)

After the website update, Kaimeera decided to review some older files.
Reviewing the older file, HKBBIDN.jpg (The 3 Day Icon) the text had changed.
Day Nineteen, July 20 2016 Developments:
Files:
Searching through more files, Kaimeera found this in the 4G.JPG file: (The Kelbris Picture)
(This is believed to have been found last night. We could not find it on the Doc, so it’s added now for posterity sake only.)
Day Twenty, July 21 2016 Developments:
Page Changes:
Around midnight on 7/20/16 Song of Time was played by a rogue using Greth’s username. This apparently confused BEN, as shown below.
Then the site entered Sign In Mode. Soon after, we were given four messages on the log in page.
At some point, there was a message about a new sacrifice, but it’s not clear where it was and where it fits here.
Day Twenty-five, July 26 2016 Developments:
Page Changes:
1:00 PM EST -- sometime around now, the site goes down completely
8 PM EST-- sometime around now, site comes back up. Still locked out.
Day Twenty-six, July 27 2016 Developments:
Misc:
2:37 PM EST - Using the http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php?cID=## method used in the original, Morgan finds multiple pages that may be useful when the site comes back up, assuming they’re not password protected which they most likely will be. Among other things, site registration was found.
A WIP titanpad, detailing what each number yields, may be found here.
Entering numbers from 151 and above gives you ARG-related pages. http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php?cID=157, for example, is the press room.
7/27/2016, 7:42 PM EST: Jeremy calls Spanosa on Skype. Throughout the entire call, Jeremy sounded like he was having difficulty breathing, spoke in a raspy voice, groaned, and laughed often.
“A prominent figure in those who stand against IT. You may as 3 things”
I asked about Hank: “After the death of Ana, he began to delve more into madness. Jeremy said that's what he saw, back when he had skin. He began to hear things. I thought he was losing his mind. No. He was hearing things from the other side. From her. That creature. She taught him things. Bringing back the dead. But that was a lie. What he did was not bringing back the dead but a clever illusion. But none the less. Moon Children did not want to believe. That this traitor had such power. After the display he showed.
He's talking about Kevin now, he doesn't like him
He likes Rosa though”
“He's wondering why we want to stop It or Luna
“They are thinking we will chose not to stop It
“It is always one step ahead”
“Im asking about beyond the truth: We have 2 options. Stop it, or let it continue. Once we get to one point. We must be able to have this choice. It has been made clear. For everything to progress on its end, but it must be made this way. He's not sure why. How they work is very strange. What seems to be more worrying than all. With this mind, they count on letting us choose to let It continue
“It truly makes me wonder what they know that I don’t”
“Strange how this place works. I can see him from here, where I'm standing. Your Link. In that small room. Windows covered. Hiding. Makes me wonder. Is this really your great hero. Then I understand how it all works. Various splitting time. This just isn’t quite the same man.”
“Sometimes the rules just aren't quite fair”
“Take it from me, I'm in a horrible position (laughs)”
I asked him about the place he is in: “There many partitions of this place. The most simplistic thing to call it would be limbo. But its gone by many names. Too many to remember. Some come here with different degrees of control of themselves. I myself, my whole life, have been fearing for the time in which I would pass for fear that I would be somewhere like this. The only reason that I have what some may call a self is that others take a shortcut method. I'm sure you want to know what the shortcut method is boy, I'll tell you.
Ascension. Through Ascension it is believed you can achieve many degrees of power. But it has been implied that that power is false. Merely an extension of that creature. Luna they call her. Or we call her It I suppose. Nowhere is a taught that you can get where you are by will alone. It's much better than being an organ of that mass. A cog in her machine.
He, Hank, went insane after Ana died. he thought initially that she was gone forever. That she had not ascended. Through the beliefs the moon children you are not gone forever like in traditional death. I was right about the time he went insane. At least that was what it seemed like he showed these displays of power. I thought he was insane when he claimed Ana was Luna in the flesh and he was The Father. I think that I believe now that that was false. A lie to tell himself.
I know now as well that she isn't necessarily gone. That if you don't do it like old Jeremy, you might disappear for good. THen again, maybe that's for the best. Or maybe it's not. Things are very confusing here. Very painful. IIs that all you wish to know, I certainly hope so. I have to keep moving”
“Have you spoken to Velvet. What a wonderful child. reminds me of my son. very headstrong. very sure of themself.”
He mentioned Kevin twice, saying Kevin doesn’t like people who talk.
“I hope you hear from my son Hunter. If you hear from him, please… (at this point Jeremy did not speak again, but the call continued for about another minute before he hung up)
He mentioned during the call the last cycle was close. He also said that time doesn’t matter; we either stop It or don’t.
Call ended 8:06 PM EST
7/27/2016 - Greth was also called, here's the results, paraphrased:
Needed a circle of 3 to choose, Jeremy chose Purple Velvet, Greth, Spanosa
Don't trust Rosa
Pond found, Jeremy there
Can't help dead
Only Moon Children who hasn’t died is Kevin
Kevin not stuck in time loop, but pretends to be
Circle of 3 has to work with Kevin
Kevin is going to ask us to do something, we all have to agree or it won't work
We can trust Kevin at first, but once Kevin gets SilentDT, we can't trust him anymore
Luna/She/It has changed rules of game
Only brand new videos will be accepted in guestbook
Every time we use a vid, we make It stronger, use videos sparingly
When the website was asking for sacrifice, that was Jeremy that posted the video (more video = more strength)
Man with Skull Mask at pond, was not Goon
We need to get past “The Wall”
The Governor is coming
7/27/2016, 9:56 PM EDT: Avia was also called from Jeremy, not one of of the 3. Here is the rough transcript of all of Jeremy’s side of the conversation:
“gaping hole in chest, no flesh, just a whisper in a manner of speaking, quite an abstract situation, how I'm doing (laughing)....mmm....I suppose it's easier to say just fine, after hearing a pretty young voice like yours young lady, I have already spoken to the 3, going around the world as I can see, Spansoa, Greth, Velvet, I heard someone didn't want to be Peon (lol that was me XD), .....(lots of laughing); I can say to you something that is important to you: There is no reason to distrust Rosa, in fact she is where I'm getting most of what I know from, I may be an old man and I am perfectly not wise, she is wise beyond on her years....We make it to the next step. The final cycle, soon, child. No more need to worry about the rogues, SHE has changed the rules, she is Fair to some people, not like myself. I feel she is as.....It is very important for us to not arrive there. (in the void where Jeremy is). There is one more that I need to speak to. My day job was just a postman. Jeremy seems to still be important. have a safe night, Kimberly, have a safe night.”
7/27/2016, 10:10 PM EDT - Ryann was contacted by Jeremy. At the moment, she wasn’t able to take the call. Orion acted as the go-between, staying on the phone with Jeremy while questions were being discussed in chat. A partial recording of the call may be found here.
A rough transcript of the conversation follows:
“One moment I'm standing by the house in the lake, the next I'm standing by where the my friend buried, something something dogs, rem was so frightened, he didn't understand what he was getting into, he shouldn't have moved into that house, he should've been much more truthful with who he spoke with but it's not his fault he didn't know who was secretly It in this... game it plays. There he goes, and there goes It, it's a shame he could not... It's a shame I could not speak with Ryan, one of your brightest, one of your brightest. Fortunate of me as well, I am unable to speak. I will take questions from Ryan though, 3.
It's a shame those things died later [the dogs] the owner ended up with an animal abuse charge, a shame we didn't know it was ... It”
Q1: How do we contact Tyler?
“Tyler will be contacting you. Tyler is a very complicated situation. very very complicated situation. Not quite sure why, but, with that creature everything needs to be complicated to work. Tyler will be contacting you; however, it won't quite be the same Tyler. But, it will. One that made a different choice.
Would you like to know a secret, no strings attached I promise."
Orion said yes.
“Very well then, hahahahaha, It... that amalgamation of... the boy, the innocent boy, your Link, and... something else. That I suppose we can call The Father mmhmm, do you think it is 3 things? Prominently it is three things, but there is somethign else in there. Many many lesser spirits. It takes them like candy hahaha. Like a child. After all it is one, a child, and also a man, and also something... something else that's just... been for a very long time. BEN for a very long time hahahaha. But there is one amongst these lesser spirits that some of us, Ryann perhaps, might remember when the time comes.
It's not something that drowned hahahaha, but uh the word might ring a bell…
I'm following right behind, Mr. Rem. Mister Hendricks here was very reliant on contacting Thomas. Thomas already knew was what was happening but how could he know
This is a very disorganized unions, both unions, both organized for making sure only those with the intention of making sure the tohers know what the next step is
Over the fence, as they say.
Oh… Are we sure? No questions at all? I would think from our brightest and best there would be an infinite number of inquiries…
No questions whatsoever?
And I wish, that I could have the opportunity to, wield I suppose you might say, the power that you have borrowed. But not for uh, this small petty window of time that seems to have become so very important. I do honestly wonder, what if he just waited up.”
Q2: Chat decided to ask about the power we have. Chat was asked to be clearer. Decided to ask Jeremy what he would do with the power if he had it.
“If I had this power as I am now, I'd try to find out how I can just... put myself to sleep hahaha. Not to uh, sound like one of you silly teenagers but uh, to be quite frank I fucking hate this hahaha. But if I was alive uh.... Well, I'd try to contact as many people like myself as I could. For one.Even though it's a bit rude hahaha for some who do not like be disturbed but not old Jeremy I always wanted to be a superstar back when I had skin hahaha.
So, while quite loud all of this attention is somewhat refreshing, what I'm sure will be infinity from now. In short I, really don't very useful answer. You’ve done tricks that have contacted others... try them again.”
Q3: Chat decided to ask, “Other than Kevin, who should we be looking to talk to?”
“Hmmmm... If, somehow, you could find a way to... speak with Rem. I'm sure, it would be quite rewarding. He wasn't very trustworthy of anyone in his final moments, but I'm sure whatever position he's in now has probably loosened his lips. Ah here it is I just got a call from eulogy and this time it told me to wait up, what if he had just waited up...Ah well, that's probably something that can't be changed. It's amazing. Over the fence, as they say, he proceeds through these woods and...He passes right by
Their base of operations at the time
I'm sure you're going to "whose base of operations" but we already three questions didn't we?”
Jeremy gives Orion one question. He asks “Who’s base of operations?”
“Well, at the time mine, the traitors. Well, at that time, then, that uh year. For you uh, six years ago. Somewhere around there, it’s much too complicated for me to keep up with uh tick tock nonsense on the other side.
I'm sure as well as the question has been asked before, you'll ask "Who are they”. The traitors. Who are the traitors, and WHO are the traitors, hahahaha. Is quite the question depending in the way you which to ask So, I have enough time To give you One shot at asking.”
Orion asks “Who are the traitors?”
“Well, at least I don't have to say anything that'll get me in trouble now. Me, Hank, everyone you already know.
And just to set the record straight; Kevin. Kevin most definitely. Kevin at that time, this time, the window you were in, that time and even before then he was one of the traitors. Even then, when we were both flesh and I was not one with no skin and he was not one who was simply half a creature with flesh hahaha. I didn’t even like him then. Way too shifty for me always seemed like he had ulterior motives hahaha.I didn't consider myself nor did I consider anyone around me traitors, however anyone to be called a traitor it would be definitely be Kevin. But in the end, no matter how Insidious he is, it amounts to nothing for him.
As I've been told it has been told his story is about to come to a screeching halt. So, sorry to ruin the end of the book there if you were hahahaha excited for the big kevin ending. Regardless though, before that ending comes you should get out of Kevin what you need. Which is him instructing you on how to get this SilentDT character.
And with that I'll give you one more.”
Chat asks who SilentDT is.
“Hahahaha, that was exactly what I was expecting. I always told Rosa that I didn't believe psychic powers. This just adds more fuel to that fire. If I can do that what makes her so special. But I suppose uh whatever she's doing makes her different, but we better start calling me old psychic jeremy now hahaha.
What do I know about old Silent DT?
I know he's Tyler. I know he is...also somewhat dangerous. Time in this small section of the story is... ripped quite asunder and this is a Tyler that seems to have made a different decision in this life. And has found himself here, at the orchard. Not all that far a walk from where he lives, either. Amazing. Not all that far of a walk where the traitors live. Amazing hahaha. Divine coincidence. As I generally spell it. Oh, that was asked at a point as well. Mr. Greth one of the 3 prominents. I never quite, got around to answering that one. Ol Jeremy's just a little too famous to talk to all of his fans haha. can't pass out signatures to everyone. All this fame's gone a bit too far to my head, hahaha.
I really wish I was still around in the world of the living.
Or not, probably not... most definitely not hahahaha.
However I can say right now, before i Depart and continue on my rounds, I will answer that old question Greth posed.
What is Divine vs divine?
But one might say it's a play on words. They always call it divine coincidence. Rosa always called it that, that video game, the one with her name. the number 3 and its relevance 423. 1111111111. Divine coincidence and its relevance, however they say devine and not how malicious these things really are. I say devine, devil evil. Its a bit of a play on words but I never was much of a speller. Dropped out of a high school to be in a, uh, cult.
The next time we speak, things might be a little.... intense hahaha. I just hope you all make the right choice. But either way, somebody's gotta suffer. Isn't that just, how life works? Hahaha. Until then, have a safe night, and uh...Don't, uh. Don't go outside.”
At this point, the line goes silent. Soon after, Orion hangs up.

Day Fourty, August 10 2016 Developments:
Old phone number as shown above (somewhere) the answering machine has changed. It is no longer the Song of healing but is a sound clip of the drowning person we have heard before. I have checked this number everyday for something new and this changed. It could be a hint from the GM that the ARG isn’t dead yet.
Day Sixty-Seven, September 6 2016 Developments:
The GM, through Jeremy’s account, holds an OOC Q&A in ID. The GM also posts in the Taskmasters chat, notifying those who might not be able to participate otherwise. An edited transcript of the Q&A session may be found here. A full transcript may be found here. A transcript of the Taskmasters messages may be found here.
December 29 2016 Developments:
Times/formatting incoming
After such a long time, the site has finally updated and returned to us! Kind of anyway.
Page Changes:
Some changes included:
“Sign in to Danw of th e F isrt D ay” (Need times/picture)
“Sign in to It’s raining.” (NTP)
“Sign in to Dawn of the First Day” (NTP)
Throughout the day, website changes multiple times to show this approximate passage:
torrential downpour threatens local firework display, locals unhappy (to move the) celebration
indoors...impossible to do this indoors, (fire) hazard...celebrate the new year with a (bang)
like the fourth of july
Some words have been filled in from context.
Hope Conversation
Hope appears on login screen - “I found my hat”. Initially, she was confused with Helper.
Leliel asked “Hat, are you taking questions?”
She replied with, “Unfortunately, I don't think I can answer much of anything.”
After some confusion about the speaker’s identity, Hope states that she isn’t helper. She also stated that she didn’t know who Helper was, or who we were. She says that she’s called Hope. She says that she’s scared and people are looking at her. She appears to hear what we type in the Skype chat as voice, but we’re not sure if we’re the people looking at her.
Shortly after Hope asks about the voices and is told to run to safety, the speaker appears to change to a different person that does not know Hope or what is happening. After this, the webpage shows “I can’t handl”, which could either mean that they’ve been overloaded from too many voices, or that they’ve been interrupted by something.
We were then told to step out, or someone (possibly another person) would shoot. There was a countdown from 10, and then the page displayed “Why is he smiling?”, a reference back to Kelbris. The page then shows “The Father?”
The page then went back to “Night of the First Day” for a moment, and then changed to “Gun?!”. We then see that Hope is speaking again, thus the panic. Apparently, we had started speaking to her while she was with friends, panicked, and ran away from them.
Hope is cut out and replaced with “ate the coming year with a”, then “How could you forget?”, then “I can’t handl” again. Over a a few minutes, the site keeps showing statements that have been previously shown, along with “OUCH”, indicating that there may be some sort of mental overload. The messages go back in time until we got back to “The show is going to be ruined.” It continued repeating previous messages for a bit.
One of the “random quote cycles”:
“Sign in to It's just me now, my friends were looking at me like I was crazy, I ran away!“
“Sign in to Whoa, that hurt. Hello? I can hear you out there!”
“Sign in to Gun?!”
“Sign in to Dawn”
“Sign in to Night of the First Day”
“Sign in to It's just me now, my friends were looking at me like I was crazy, I ran away!”
“Sign in to Jesus Christ, that was loud!”
“Sign in to Why is he smiling?”
“Sign in to How could you forget?”
“Sign in to Yes, it's Hope, what do you want with me?”
“Sign in to It's just me now, my friends were looking at me like I was crazy, I ran away!”
“Sign in to Night of the First Day”
“Sign in to Yeah, you did! What do you want?!”
“Sign in to I ran away!”
“Sign in to Night of the First Day”
“Sign in to OUCH”
--- missed some ---
“Sign in to It's just me now, my friends were looking at me like I was crazy, I ran away!”
“Sign in to I found my hat!”
“Sign in to ike the Four”
“Sign in to Gun?!”
“Sign in to Dawn”
“Sign in to People are looking at me, why are these voices talking to me?”
“Sign in to It's just me now, my friends were looking at me like I was crazy, I ran away!”
“Sign in to The father?”
“Sign in to Night of the First Day”
“Sign in to ate the coming year with a”
“Sign in to The show is going to be ruined.”
“Sign in to Jesus Christ, that was loud!”
“Sign in to It's just me now, my friends were looking at me like I was crazy, I ran away!”
“Sign in to The voices are back, I want them to stop!”
“Sign in to Sorry, I can't really tell what's happening right now.”
“Sign in to splay, community unh”
“Sign in to OUCH”
“Sign in to Night of the First Day”
“Sign in to Sorry, I can't really tell what's happening right now.”
After a long period of looping through those statements, it finally went back to “Night of the First Day”.
More login changes:
“Sign in to You're not my father.”
“Sign in to You are NOT.”
“Sign in to False Father!”
“Sign in to FALSE FATHER!”
“Sign in to FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER FALSE FATHER”
“Sign in to I'm hearing them again, but one of them is not angry.”
The site then proceeded to use vaguely BDSM phrases. Involving a lot of daddy stuff.
“Sign in to Daddy, please. I want to know.”
Page is back to “Night of the First Day”.
The site posted jumbled symbols and letters, which coincidentally turned into emotes when decoded in Base 64.
decoding “OBD4%?<@'o(`F$4Hr@ ?pu evig” with Base64 literally gave me: 8^ (
“"OBD%4?<@'o(`F$4Hr@ hahahaha” turned into 8^j
Misc:
Although posted in jest, there were several songs (mostly non-ocarina) posted in the chat. It remains to be seen as to whether that’s affected anything.
Jeremy communicated with players via the Taskmasters chat. A transcript may be found here.

IRC Convo snippet about Alex
[12:44:23] .:@rem:. So he just wont talk at all anymore?
[12:46:21] .:@david:. nope nothing
[12:47:03] .:@david:. as much as I hate it we have beaten him fucking sensless now but he thinks we are all "part of his nightmare" or something
[12:47:45] .:@david:. what the hell did that book do to alex?
[12:48:01] .:@rem:. The one from the traitors?
[12:48:13] .:@rem:. Did he read it or fuck with it somehow?
[12:48:55] .:@david:. nothing happened to anyone else who handled it
[12:50:23] .:@david:. this is so fucking stupid, it was a stupid fucking test to send him there, I know we didn't ask him to bring shit back but fuck
[12:51:11] .:@david:. now he is talking all this insane shit about time splitting and Tyler never having went to collage with him.

According to Ry, the method was as follows; “It's ASCII85, and it was
reversed. And you had to fix the entity names. So an ampersand got changed
to & a quotation mark got changed to "”
“All I know is that it seems to involve some time travel related magic that is out of our control. Its very body in other instances of this loop beyond us came from some time about 5 or 6 years from now. The body of someone who was given that gas mask that the traitors use for their initiates. But he had alternate motives. It does not matter however, that is his story not that of our Father. Since now something has changed we should not be able to know this, but alex in his lunacy is correct, the end is coming and it is causing a disruption of our times.” (solved)
The entire website starting being deleted, and then changes occurred after the deletions.
The /search/search (hidden search page used during the glitch) page now 404s.
IRC messages with rem began showing up on pages.
Contact Us: .:@rem:. Do you ever wonder what this website is?
Search: .:@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.
About page changed to: http://imgur.com/a/Wwj7r proving Rem is Kayd Hendricks aka Ryukaki

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 (Luna) is not dead, she’s only closed her entryway. She’s still out there, waiting. Waiting to claw into this reality. [laughing] But when she does, it will be a long time after you all are dead. So that’s it, then.
Jeremy leaves the call.
January 10, 2017 Developments:
On a whim, Mugen looks through YSHDT and finds that Theories is back, though blank with some eerie music playing (silent.mp3). It is unknown as to when this changed. Previously, all pages except home and Truth came up with a 404.
THIS MARKS THE END OF THE ARG (ARC?)
