4/4/20 Live Event + Future Plans

4/4/20 Live Event -

Not only did players finally get to see what CHILDREN.wmv and TheRealTruth.rtf were - in a sense - but they solved the second riddle and bypassed a speedbump in getting to the next part of the story. Hopefully this was an engaging twist on a traditional checkpoint that didn't depend on a select few people solving ciphers (although there will be more of that soon), but rather a collective group of people paying close attention to the context of what was being shown. In quick summary, the Methods of Revolution website was opened back up for a brief period, featuring several new files - one of which was a modified version of the original 2010 document TheTruth. Soon after, players saw mysterious images flash on the website while a poll was presented to them presenting their next three options: Run, Fight, or Hide. These images were reminiscent of an entry in TheTruth of a nightmare Jadusable had in which gave hints about which actions proved to be ineffective against the entities. A heated debate broke out in the discord with both sides arguing which option should prevail, but ultimately Hide won. You can find a moment to moment recap of the live event here.  

Discord Update

The Awakening discord has reached 800+ members now - and we couldn't be happier. I'm excited at the opportunity to build a great community and stay in touch with each other during the quarantine. These next few months are going to be rather crazy, and I'm glad that this ARG can be a suitable distraction - so try and be good to each other, yeah? Again, it's a crazy amount of growth in such a short time period and we're doing our best to acclimate as best as we can - we are bringing on several new mods as well. If you have any issues that cannot be solved by a moderator or administrative suggestions for layouts (i.e. adding new chat channels), please DM Jadusable directly on Twitter.

Progression Caps

If it wasn't clear on the previous event, when the Methods of Revolution site goes down that typically marks a cap on the progression for this time. As of now, the big live events are coordinated towards the weekends - involving the Methods website updating and the .wmv files dropping. Weekday updates will involve .txt files for now until a point is reached in the story.  

Good luck!
