Timeline

[ilovetofix]

This is not mandatory, but it could help a lot of you figure out a some things. Work together to create a timeline of all the events I have mentioned or alluded to. You will need to use this board, your memories of GMiller's blog, etc. to do this. You will need to use all of this to your fullest.

Like I said, this is not mandatory, but it is a project that will piece together quite a bit.

I will also be contacting a few of you to discuss writing a eulogy of sorts. Further details to come.

[Faustus]

Hmm. Interesting, thanks.

[furikku]

I was actually planning on this. And then my bosses come in and are like "HAY FURIKKU HERE HAVE A GIANT PILE OF WORK TO DO!"

So I gotta do that first. Dammit.

You can have it, so far as I'm concerned. I'd rather be involved with the eulogy.

hint. HINT.

[Killian]

A eulogy, huh? I wonder for whom or what?
Sounds interesting.

Does anyone have a screen capture of GMiller's original blog, anything written down about it, or remember anything important?

This is going to be really rough to start, but I'll try and lay the groundwork, taken in part from a post I made elsewhere:

ANCIENT TIMES: There are dark muses, the opposite of the traditional muses we know. One of those dark muses is the muse of "Insanity, Paranoia, Irrational Fear" and that one is the "boss" of the Children and Priests.

He has a lot of children, those with the dark eyes. "Children" just refers to them being the child of this muse and not literally kids. They wear masks. They feed off fear and paranoia, as they are some aspect of the muse. The make stories with "no moral, not Tragedies, not Thrillers, not lessons in the guise of entertainment, just cold Hate, Disgust, Repulsion, Unfeeling, Horror, a strong disconnect. no point than to feed." Arguably, they could be the authors of some modern horror, such as the more splatterhouse type of horror movies. They are discernible by their dark eyes.

Time Unknown but Modern: "So Tired"

Time Unknown but Modern: "The Masks we Wear"

Both of the above are examples of the children at work.

Date Unknown: Donald Wilson is abused as a child by some sort of cult. He fights them every time, and eventually the abuse stops and he mentally blocks it.

Sometime in the last century: Calliope almost guarantees her path. Father Paranoia speaks to a few people and ends her era with "much bloodshed." In revenge, she lies about him to others, and he becomes a "prisoner to his own world." -- (he becomes trapped in fear himself?)

Sometime in the century: Wilson grows up, fathers twins, and goes into hypnotherapy, where he remembers what happened to him. He seeks the cult and instead is pointed to a house on a hill where he meets the sickly fellow and the beautiful young woman (possibly Calliope and Mariano). They convince him Father Paranoia is to blame. Wilson is given the Book. Wilson's wife kills herself and the twins are taken Away by the man and woman on the hill.

Pre-2003: Father Paranoia sees the world changing; humans are becoming weaker, easier to scare, and somehow this weakens him. Some of his brothers are weakened, others are strengthened, he's not cool with this. So, he comes up with a plan to make himself strong again.

Pre-2003, probably 02?: One of the children, iliketofix, takes some sort of ancient materials to be updated to modern media. The ancient materials are presumably some sort of things that inspire this kind of horror. They "Inspires many of those who view it in small, subtle ways and those who own it in very strong ways. Modifying people in such a manner helps to guide society down the Path that my people believe is the best. They also Serve as a very important part of our belief system. They help to strengthen us and keep us healthy. They are the most sacred objects in our world. They are the winning card in the Game we play with Humanity."

The ancient materials are converted into 9 videos by a Native in Northern Canada. The Native realizes this isn't an art project, gets pissed off, and is Gone.

(Pre 2003? Someone with gmillers original blog may be able to fill this in): Video #1 is sold to Gregory Miller. Greg is "Vulnerable, arrogant, with an interest in the Strange he could never even hope to overcome." He keeps the video to himself for too long, and it destroys his mind.

Pre 2003: Video #2 is sold to Jack Q. Pembry while Jack is in Canada. Jack was "a Psychopath years before he bought the video. Oh, he never acted on any of his Impulses, but they were always there. If he had never seen the video, he still would've Cracked sooner or later." The video drives Jack off the deep end, and he starts killing, and forms a serial killer message board and meetings for people into "Cubing." (Presumably taken from the 333 in the tapes).

Pre 2003(?): Video #3 is sold directly to Danny C. Danny "came back with it one summer after visiting some friends up around Yellowknife." Danny "was so excited when he bought the third video. He loved those sort of things, you see." But Danny keeps the video to himself, and never lets anyone see it except his brother.

Mid 2004:: There is a series of investigations into the HC boards, after a falling out between some of their members which results in pictures being shown, they get shut down. The boards reopen on their current hosting in August of '04. Jack Pembry begins planning CubeCon 05, with the intention of murdering the other Cubers. Soon after, he begins to realize what he has become and feels some remorse, and trades the video to Wilson for the Book.

Late 2004: Greg Miller gives Video #1 to Donald Wilson.

Late 2004/Early '05: Jack shuts down the boards, claiming technical problems. He gets everyone's information to "plan CubeCon 05" and then stalks and kills them, Mr. Radical last. Some members (possibly the "forsaken five" of JohnnyDiver, Oldboy, Whatchu T. Willis, Spaceman Jeff, and Oxnyz03) aren't killed because they are in jail. Two others, Dr. Manhattan and ManosUK2004 aren't killed because they don't get back to Jack with the info.

Early 05: Jack sells the book to a bookstore (in Lebanon, IN?).

Early 05?: Danny C. kills himself.

Early 06: Miller continues to go progressively more insane, and ends up catatonic. His last entry is on April 30, 2006.

Early 06: Danny's brother, Robert, finds the video "a year after Danny's death." (This is only a copy of the video which has been transferred to DVD; it is possible that Wilson acquired the original). He uploads it to the internet on Mar. 3, 2006.

Mid/Late 06: Wilson tries to broadcast the videos on television, in an attempt at really doing "The Wyoming Incident." He fails, and instead puts video #2 on the internet on August 9, 2006, with misleading information that the Wyoming Incident actually happened.

Late 06/Early 07: Jack has had two years of relaxation, and finds out the videos are resurfacing again. It is unclear what happens to him, but he has been described as "Gone," so maybe he kills himself.

February 07: Video #1 makes it from Wilson to Jaime. Jaime posts it on the internet on Feb 5.

February 07: iliketofix takes over gmiller's blog and the Happy Cube boards as (presumably) a better method of getting more videos out to the public, instead of just selling them to folk in Canada like a street vendor. He seeks a volunteer to be a "vessel" for video #4, and sends it to esteed, who shares it around.

February 07: Video #5 is publicly shared on ares as "hackjob johnny presents video five.wmv".

February 07: Jaime also gets another video, which is apparently "raw footage" not yet "edited for human consumption." iliketofix says that someone needs to go get this video and dispose of it by burning it on a copy of the Odyssey, but not until the snow melts.

February 07: djsampson is sent on a wild goose chase to find the book (which is now gone since the bookstore closed) and to find a knife that never existed in the first place. The Observer (who only speaks in greek) comes to oversee. The last straw seems to come when iliketofix lets one of the children eat someone. The board shuts down, and only reopens when ilovetofix takes over.

February 07: Dectector7 is orally given instructions on how to find the sixth video, which is quickly located.

Please add to or modify this if you have additional knowledge. This is the best I can do from my notes.

I know all those entries were changed by iliketofix and I thought someone said that originally gmiller was going progressively more insane as the blog went on. But yeah, he didn't go fully insane until later. I'll change the Miller timeline to indicate his catatonia started later. (Done, see above).

I really wish I had miller's original blog archived.

[esteed]

A eulogy, huh? Well, I'd be willing to give it a go. The timeline, er...yeah, I can contribute, but I don't want to be the organizer, because I have a severe lack of organizational skills. ;D

It's so hard to think digitally. We have something similar to this on paper, as well as chronicals of our own investigation from start to now. This is very very helpful indeed.

Uuhh? We? Who are you? What importance do you hold to this? I was unaware of a new person being involved... If you mean to write this down from the beginning on pen and paper because you and a group of friends found it easier? Or are you inferring that you are part of some order who has been following this for a long time.

[nii]

Ha ha, sorry to confuse. We're just a group of ...well, yes friends. Don't think of us as anything more.

Raving, I can sift out the exact dates of some of the events listed here, if you like. I've already got a few, which aren't listed in your timeline (mostly revolving around events on the forum and among the power players here), and I'd be happy to do the gruntwork to get more.

Anything you, or anyone, can do is appreciated and helpful. I didn't mean to claim ownership of the timeline or anything like that, ilovetofix indicated it should be a group affair. I just had already put together a rough order as above when I was trying to get the movement of the videos straight in my head, and I figured I would post it as a starting point. Feel free to cut and paste the above and add into it or modify it in whatever way you want (so long as it is accurate )

[furikku]

All right, I'll get on it when I'm not drowning in billing... >_>;
