Thread: MASSIVE PROBLEM
Cynosure (OP): MOD I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread, so don't snipe me, but I'm kind of freaking out right now. Apparently this big paranormal show is coming to Amity. They're always garbage, I know, but what if they actually see something? We already have so many stupid tourists. This thing is viewed nationally.
Pharaoh (MOD): Mod here. OP, we're going to need some more detail if we're going to figure out what to do, if anything. Unfortunately, we can't actually stop outsiders from coming in.
merknlurk: we could if you weren't a coward
Pharaoh (MOD): Once again, we're not killing anyone.
Bog Mummy: Hey OP how do you even know this. Are you watching this show.
Cynosure (OP): Take your bad grammar and stuff it. I'm looking for a good link now.
Phantom (MOD): Is this that Cryptid Crawl thing? If so don't worry about it. National or not no one takes those guys seriously. We just have to play unfriendly locals and steer them away from any fights.
Cynosure (OP): I've never heard of Cryptid Crawl before. I'm talking about this.
Phantom (MOD): ****.

[Video starts, showing two young men standing in front of a bank of old CRT television sets. The sets initially show static, but moving humanoid figures can soon be distinguished in them. Eventually, letters resolve from the static to spell out 'The Investigation.' Video shifts to a montage of the same two young men in various locations. Locations include: an underground area shot in night vision, a bridge during the day, walking around a field with backpacks and EMF sensors. The montage fades out, then fades back in to reveal an office-like space with several conspiracy cork boards. The two young men walk in. Both are wearing flannel shirts with the sleeves rolled up. They are joined by a third extremely tall man who is wearing a trench coat and turtleneck sweater. While the other two men are posed naturally, looking directly at the camera, and smiling, the third man has a thousand-yard stare and is standing completely straight. Words at the bottom of the screen briefly identify them as Ned, Azrael, and Jimmy.]
NED: Welcome, investigators, to the first half of our very first two-parter.
AZRAEL: And to those of you joining us for the first time this very special day, welcome to our Investigation into all things paranormal. I'm Az, and this is my older brother Ned.
NED: And this is our best friend Jimmy.
JIMMY: Hng.
NED: You're right, we're not paid for introductions. What we are paid for is investigating the truth behind paranormal events all across America. So. Az, tell us. What are we doing this week? Where are we headed?
AZRAEL: This week we're not headed anywhere.
NED: What? But we've got to go somewhere.
AZRAEL: And we will! You see, we're going to be filming the second half of our two-parter live, on location, in the most haunted city in the world: Amity Park, Illinois.
NED: Allegedly haunted. And why aren't we going this week?
AZRAEL: Because if we went this week, we wouldn't have time to tell our viewers the whole, supernatural history of Amity Park. That's how haunted this place is. We can't even summarize it in one hour.
NED (crosses his arms): It sounds like Az fell for the hype machine, huh, Jimmy?
JIMMY: Hng.
AZRAEL: I did not fall for the hype machine.
NED: You've been tourist trapped, little bro.
AZRAEL: Shut up and let me show you my research, okay? By the end, Jimmy will be agreeing with me. But first, I want to let you know we won't be the only investigators, little i, on the scene. We've got some rivals.
.
The Smart Twin: Hey, I hate to be that guy, but there's more. A whole bunch of the usual suspects were really insulted by the whole Cryptid Crawl thing. And they've teamed up this time.
Cynosure (OP): Are you telling me there's three groups of weirdos about to descend on this town? Three? We already have the GIW and the Fentons. If we get any more, we'll hit some kind of weirdo critical mass.
Phantom (MOD): Hey!
Thecooltwin: Guess that tells us its thename thief today
The Smart Twin: Anyway, the clip I saw is here.

[Video starts, showing seven young people and a tiger standing in various power poses. Video has a 'static' effect filter. Dramatic, spooky music plays. The title 'Groovy Ghost Blasters Extreme' fades in.]

Thread: Paranormal Investigator Discussion Board (PINNED)
Phantom (MOD) (OP): As you may have heard by now, three separate groups of out of town paranormal investigators will be coming to Amity Park next week. These groups range from experienced to clueless and well-regarded to unknown. They will all be attempting to film ghosts and humans for their viewers. Please use this board to post any information you have about these or other groups who may be coming as well as any ideas you have for preventing these groups from successfully spreading more information about our ghosts.
Additionally, certain local ghost hunters may attempt to film and post videos online during this time. As they will undoubtedly complicate the Paranormal Investigator situation, they may be discussed here as well.
Point25Back: why are you saying lOcaL gHoSt HunTeRS we all know its [EDITED BY MOD]
[ Point25Back has been banned for one (1) day.]
Pharaoh (MOD): Speaking of people who are banned, why do we keep letting him back in when he keeps breaking the rules?
Phantom (MOD) (OP): He hasn't tried to dissect anyone yet. Puts him ahead of the curve.
Pharaoh (MOD): Our standards are so low.
Lovetheshow: we're getting a crossover? two crossovers? Best. Day. Ever.
Valorous1: MOD Maybe I'm not the one who should say this but is this guy even from Amity? Or Elmerton?
Pharaoh (MOD): Yeah, we checked.

Thread: Why are we even trying to stop this?
West of West (OP): I think my question says it all, but just in case it doesn't, why are we trying to stop the TRUTH from getting out? It sounds like someone has an ulterior motive. I say, let the Investigators in. Tell them everything. Let the world know.
Valorous1: If you try to convince any of these idiots that any of the humans in town are ghosts, I will not be responsible for what I do to you.
ashtree: of course you watch the investigators
West of West (OP): It's the Investigation!

Thread: THE MODS ARE BIASED TYRANTS
West of West (OP): The mods keep deleting my perfectly reasonable and on-topic threads. This is tyranny. We need new mods.

West of West (OP): THIS ISN'T A ROLEPLAY.
Phantom (MOD): nobineryginger It's because we think it's funny.

Hello, everyone. I'm Phantom, your friendly neighborhood ghost. Although this fact seems to escape some people, I am in fact a person, and I don't enjoy being hunted. That's a pretty normal thing.

Pharaoh (MOD): You might not have named names in this, but you included enough personally identifiable information to doxx not only yourself, but several members of this server, so we're deleting it anyway.

Thread: 'Groovy Ghost Blasters Extreme'
Valorous1: I hate to ask, but has anyone here worked with any of the (sigh) 'Groovy Ghost Blasters Extreme' before? I want to have an idea of what they're like before we start talking about them on the public boards and offering help with the 'problem.' As you know, I welcome the idea of more ghost hunters in Amity, but, you know. Competent ones. The name does not fill me with confidence.
My Hair: They've all worked in Amity before. Their tiger almost mauled me once. None of them caught Phantom for the bounty.
The Cooler Phantom: no 1 catches phantom tho xcept val theyr not sprcial
Valorous1: Are you telling me that's a real tiger
JACK FENTON: I caught phantom once!1! super excited to teach new hunters the tricks of the trade! :)

Thread: Fine. You win.
West of West (OP): Your hype squad makes some good points. I guess. I won't expose the TRUTH until the government gets a clue and sets up real ghost countermeasures. But the Investigators are professionals. It doesn't matter what I do. They'll know.
