FYI, as the username might imply: I was the person who posted the Ascension link to UnFiction, back in 2013. The website I run about ARGs has an open tipline, and at the time I would post most of the tips that came in on the UnFiction forums, particularly if there wasn't enough information for a full article at the time. Sadly, that's likely another dead-end: I looked up the initial email and while there was an email address attached to the tip, the submission form I use allows for fake emails, and I'm fairly confident I was provided with a fake email in this case.

[@somerandomdragonidk7852]

You know, I think it's so amazing that everyone thought that this thing was a legit cult for like 6 years, and then MatPat comes along, literally *talks* to the person who made it, and finds out that it was an arg all along.

[@valyri]

it wasnt even intended to be an arg too, just a concept album

[@MeMe-eo1st]

Matpat just built different

[@analogicaleuphimism2078]

The ARG having no end makes sense. Ascensionism is a cult tells its members that there is always another ascension and that it's their duty to ascend, but there won't be an end to this ascension, because it's just a tool used to manipulate them. The same way with this ARG's endgame, we will always look for it but we would never find it because chances are it never existed in the first place. The game itself is a pretty good allegory for cults. It's stupid, and looks fun, yet deep down it's just a ploy to try and manipulate you, but at the end of the day it's just a game and you shouldn't take it seriously.

[@s4mu1l_ssg64]

Actually if you think about it, every day someone finds something new or breaks the limit of the human nature. A lot of people in the past even couldn't imagine something like our success at the moment. Every single person is trying to do their best at the things that they like to do and after them in the future, other will use their knowledge and upgrade their work. We are doing it constantly, we are evolving not only physically, but even psychologically and we don't stop. Yes, it's impossible to reach the end, but it's the only way to survive in the universe. We don't know so much things about everything, it's literally scary to think about it and the main purpose of the human is to understand itself and everything that is in the universe or even more, who knows? Even if it's impossible, at least we are trying. You know what they say, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey.

[@SilphetX]

idk man, there's too many unanswered questions still. like how was kanye quest uploaded BEFORE the unfiction thread even started, yet they still had all the same very specific passwords (jagtai, petunze, eyen etc)? also people have talked to nick lyons a lot throughout the years and they have very different answers for everything than was given here. before he would always completely deny any involvement in kanye quest at all, and if the answer was simply that it was a fan of their music I'm sure they would have explained that back then.

[@day9811]

@@SilphetX For your second point, it's possible that the creator might've gotten tired and just had to let go of the YEARS of work off their back. Stories told by people can change overtime, and now it finally came to a halt and information finally got driven out wholeheartedly. Especially when in the beginning, it wasn't gaining as much traction. Unlikely, but also possible.

[@callumbarnes9341]

Nightmare expo did a video on this I think it's worth a watch

[@marshallrandolph8046]

@Silphet I was thinking the same thing. Also that we only know the screename used by the actual creator of the game and nothing else about him. Until we talk to HIM and get a solid answer about all this I hardly think anything at all is really cleared up. Aside from confirmation that the creator of acensionism and the game aren't the same person.

@@autumngrace7742 Scientology is uniquely coordinated. They have dozens of facilities all over the country with specific purposes for controlling members with different levels of commitment. They have electroshock and detox equipment that they have no idea how to use correctly. They have various texts that range from ubiquitously printed and believable to rare and completely nuts. They target actors first and foremost, with recruiting agents that swarm popular filming locations in California and Florida. The instant you get off the bus, they'll be fighting over your attention. It's intentional designed to look like a hokey religion from the outside, but it's actually one of the most organized cults in the world

I love all the unique intros. I remember when they used to only be applied to games that were frequently revisited like FNAF, but now basically every double+ theory and some popular single theories get them too! Really creative and very fun :)

Alright time to be annoying: is there a way we can get a full theory on infinity train? I feel like fellow theorists who know little about this show would love it, AND maybe get it it’s next season.

Starting a cult or joining one might just be the smart move, believe it or not. Dark times are coming, with global warming and political unrest, and if you aren't part of a cult, you might just be all by your self, and that's a less than ideal situation in an apocalyptic scenario.

I don't know about anyone else but I'd really love to see game theory take a look at "Loop hero". The game is amazingly fun and has a treasure trove of lore in it I bet he'd have a field day with. Also helps it has probably the most awesome 'how a lich was made' story I've ever seen in it.
