Methods of Revolution [Ben.wmv] 

Synopsis

Upon launching the old cartridge, Sarah travels to a world that hasn't been touched by human hands for years - the old Majora's Mask game is nigh unrecognizable at this point. After creating a file, she's thrust into a broken world without even so much as a tutorial. It's an unremarkable forest found deep within the game's code, much outside of the original game's boundaries. As she explores the area, the only thing she is able to find is the body of the dead Happy Mask Salesman. Moving to investigate it, the ground begins to shake as corrupted version of the moon bears down upon her. Running away frantically, she reaches the edge of the stage and falls through the ground - landing in a limbo between-the-code briefly explored in CHILDREN.wmv and THE FATHER.wmv. 

There, a character calling himself Ben, reaches out to her in the cartridge and brings her to his own version of the forest she just escaped from. There, he communicates to her briefly and implies something that is a startling revelation to the players before prompting her to play a song to him. However, before Sarah is able to interact further, Abel interrupts the game in the real world and resets something , which as also happens to open up a path to http://www.methodsofrevolution.com.

Players could then modify the URL path to find hidden pages of various characters from previous arcs, including Ben, Jadusable, and other prominent characters from the first and second arcs. Data here has been scattered across multiple binary encoding schemes - needing to be translated by the theorists on the discord. Meanwhile, Sarah has returned to the game and has another decision to make.

This additional decision will need to be made in two parts. This first poll will run for 48 hours to collect votes, and based on that course of action a follow up poll will be made as to what specific action you take. If you choose to explore the hotel you will have to vote on where to go or what to do. If you choose to continue to play, you will have to decide which song to play for Ben - if you choose to at all. 

For this first choice of whether to stay in the game or explore the hotel, the same principles apply as last time. Both are valid options and both will further the story. However it comes down to a matter of priorities. What answers do you truly seek?
