A grave announcement from Mister Administrator

A lot of the complaints were related to the banner color or the word "grave", which have been changed. Also I imagine negative comments (etc) on the video get in the way of actually running the game or event or whatever. The error was allowing them in the first place, not removing them, I think.

Okay, just to address this whole paranoia thing, I promise that nobody is getting banned for not wanting to participate in this whatever-it-is. I will absolutely state that if people are going to use it as an excuse to troll this wiki or Echo Chamber, make threats, or otherwise be an asshole about it, we will ban them without hesitation.

Also, from what I understand, the people behind Echo Chamber are completely separate from the administration of the wiki, and Echo Chamber is not the entirety of what's going on, merely one facet of it.

FYI, the "custom title requests" banner that mods see is fine.

The Twitter account (YouHaveFailedUs) also posted an update saying the banner thing, when it was still green, was being looked into by [admin number code I can't currently look up]. I checked earlier, and that number isn't on the forehead of any of the guys in the Mind Screw EC episode, so my guess is it refers to Eddie and may or may not have been made up on the spot.

The tweets on there about sandwiches/baguettes amuse me.

Judging by the twitter of Mr. Administrator, he appears to be on the side of Average Joe. He also we have to continue watching his videos.

Who sent the letter and why does he or she want the 4th wall to break completely?

My suspicion is that there's a division within Mr.A (note that there are multiple), and one or other of the groups (most likely the one from EC) is trying to break the fourth wall, while the other (the one from the Twitter and YT) is trying to keep the wall intact. I shall henceforth refer to them as Admin-Rebel and Admin-Prime, respectively.

Edit: Interesting Twitter comment from Mr.A which I should have figured out without his help:

Excuse me if I do this wrong, I haven't written on a forum in a while.

It may be trivial, but did anyone notice that the letter Average Joe read in his update lacked a stamp? I don't know if that means much, but as someone said before, the little things count.

Haha, wow. I was wondering what was going on. Thanks for explaining.

And with a new Watch The Footage episode, we now have Cerberus and Plague Doctors. The Cerberus video's especially creepy in a way, but in a way I can't help but love. Interesting developments here, that's for sure.

Creepy pasta?

So this fourth wall breakage thing could be Greek related. We have Cerberus and Amphitrite if you count the mermaid as such.

Then again, it might not be. Bastet is an Egyptian goddess with a cat for a head and plague doctors were located mostly in Rome.

Also, the Cerberus clip apparently comes from an email address labeled as |h@t3D.oG2 Maybe that means something? Or maybe it's just gibberish. Either way, that seems to be the clip that's standing out the most at the moment. All the others are sightings made by normal people who happened to catch something weird, this one comes from an unintelligible source, has Slenderman-esque video distortion and is just all-around creepy.

• |h@t3D.oG2
• Ihatedogs
• I hate dogs

That may or may not mean anything.

If cerberus is involved, ihatedogs is likely involved.

Who is "I"?

The person/people in costume in the fourth episode (second clip) made me think of those medieval doctors who wore beaks full of herbs to stop themselves getting sick.

Wait.

"The second clip came from Zack"

... Coincidence?

Not just that. Full thing: "Well, anyway, thanks to Zack for the OTHER clip." "The OTHER" is what Mr Administrator has been talking about, isn't it? Does that mean the second clip is especially important or something?

"I hate dogs" again ties into the whole cat thing with the first video and "I am a cat."

So now we've got the Black Dog and the Plague Doctor, and last episode Slendy popped up.

FEARBLOG YES

Anyone tried to tell Average Joe about the Mr.A video?

Email sent. Assuming I get a response, I'd like to compare it with someone else's reply on the same subject, to see what information is given, etc..

Interesting thing that doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet: Mr Administrators's tweets mention "The Wite Void". This is a website linked from Tom's twitter page. The front page mentions (screenshot in case it gets removed◊) that Tom is the lead story designer for an ARG "being developed by a company which must remain unnamed". Since I don't know how often it's updated, that could well be this.

Dana's website says that she is "currently the Puppetmaster for an unreleased Alternate Reality Game for TV Tropes LLC. Its expected release date is summer of 2012."

Well that seems obvious, really.

Ah, the banner is gone.

(Also, you'd think people would be more mmf about running an ARG?)

We've had plenty of good mmf and bad mmf around an ARG, what more could you want?

MMF?

Did anyone notice anything in there other than the 17th century plague doctor(s) in the second clip from the newest video? That strikes me as a likely candidate for being the "OTHER" clip that we might have to pay attention to.
