Stop the FNAF ARG hunt

- Hey guys, it’s time to get real for a moment. When I made the last video about the theoretical FNAF ARG, I did not expect the response it generated. My goal with that video was to get some help digging through the game files and find some clues about what was included in the book. Except, that’s not what happened. So, here I am. We need to talk about that video, ARGs, and making sure no one gets hurt for a CZcams video or video game mystery. Let’s talk about it.

@tom ok, bot
@tom maybe you should be haooy that there bitches around you
Also, if the ARG requires you to trespass or break the law still don’t do it. I could easily see this happening with abandoned properties and irresponsible creators thinking its fine to leave clues there as the setting has the creep factor and fits their aesthetic. Just don’t assume the ARG creator can just be blindly trusted, they are still just a stranger on the internet.
This absolutely
It was rule 3.
What is ARG :(
@@taylornycum9353 a game and or puzzle that has many layers usually has online websites or videos mixed together with real world things. Basically a very hard Easter egg hunt
wasn't there an ARG a few years ago that happened near some abandoned mines? Some guy went into one of them thinking it's part of the puzzle and had a nasty fall. He saw stuff writte on the wall like "danger" and "turn back", but he still thought it was part of the "plot".
It's such a shame that someone like matpat has to apologise to pizza place workers just because a bunch of kids can't tell reality from fiction...
It's because he put the idea in their head. He's doing the adult thing and taking responsibility and then letting those kids know that likely they weren't intending anything bad with the information he inspired them with and then redirected them to go about it in a healthy way. It's important. It's growing up.
He did inspire it though, whether intended or not, it's his fanbase. Dream should take his example.
@@JustMatchmaking Its not, hes adressing it because he knows what the internet wants. Thats like blaming the writter of "The Catcher in the Rye" because that book inspired Marck David to kill John Lennon.

"A snowflake in an avalanche never feels responsible."
Thanks for covering this Game Theorists!! Very important etiquette guidelines to follow going forward.
rules to follow in ARG hunt:
1. Never publish private info.
2. Stick to publicly available info.
3. Be safe in public. DO NOT trespass.
4. Do not call private businesses or individuals.
5. Find one central place online for ARG discussion.
Huge Respect to Matpat for addressing this issue and coming up with a solution immediately 👏👏
@Lady Tsunade it'd be better if it wasn't
add use the buddy system and this list is perfect
what the hell even is an ARG
or does it mean what google means (alternate reality game)
@@cyreptus4604 yes
6. Don't put anything in an abandoned mine.
Damn we just got lectured by dadpat. That first stop felt like a “I’m not mad, just disappointed” sorry dadpat
You kids are weird, calling another man dad n shii
No im mad, Im very mad."
Sorry dadpat
I'm Mad AND Disappointed that Dadpat thinks Afton rebuilt his own son, just to try murder him again- Ur not even my real dad dadpat!! xD
Disappointment from parents is worse than simple anger.
Another rule: unless the creator of the ARG or owner of a phone number approves or denies the fact that a private phone number is being used in the ARG, DO NOT CALL IT
How about creators just...not include numbers in their ARG we shouldn't call. Be careful to remove them.
that is exactly what they do. not one phone number was ever mentioned, no businesses. Matt mentioned a small town and the young kids who watched his videos decided to "help" since they hadn't heard of an ARG before or the dangers of harassment and doxxing. they found all these unrelated numbers to harrass themselves. what ARG would ever include a phone number, let alone one you SHOULDN'T call?@@TheWolfman112 you make it pretty clear in your comment that this happens but where would an adult in charge of an arg be that dumb?
You did this so well. Huge respect to you, Mat. I love how you just say 'STOP'. no garbage, no filler. straight to the point. thank you for apologizing to the businesses. thanks for just being this awesome person that you are
The fact that Matpat stepped forward, addressed the issue, apologized for it and took upon himself to make sure it doesn't happen again, shows a great deal of both maturity and responsibility. I'm sure this video alone will help many new arg players in the future. So, thank you, Matpat.

This legitimately like the birth of the ESRB rating system. It's awesome that matpat here is spearheading this initiative to set a series of guidelines to hold yourself accountable for, like a society should.
Let’s hope this isn’t as arbitrary and hand wringy as the WSRB and other ratings boards
As someone who played and researched ARGs YES THIS THIS THIS. Also: bring a buddy for any real world pickups/clue hunts. I once went, alone, at night, through an unfamiliar part of new York City and picked up a package at a random building and now 10 years later I look back like "wow I could have gotten into trouble doing that I should have brought a friend"
I don't know if someone's mentioned this one or not but when trying to solve ARG's only call phone numbers that are revealed through the ARG itself. I think that most if not all ARG's that have created phone numbers as part of the puzzle have these numbers in plain sight. So, if no phone number is provided, DO NOT CALL ANYONE.
you can call me if you want and I'd come up with some weird responses

This is amazing Mat, such a great way to address a problem like this. I haven’t really took part in any arg’s yet but this is a great guide to them because as you said they had never really had a set of rules besides ones the creator sets, which is hard since they don’t tell you you’re playing an arg, you have to find it yourself.
Another general rule of thumb about ARG's is to look up the laws of the area where you're going. Make sure your aware of the differences between your area and the area you're going to. If you don't, and do something that is allowed in your area, but not allowed in the area of the ARG, you could be in a bad situation. So, be informed.
True.
In my country you can get arrested for picking your own lock or breaking and entering into your own home. Doesn't matter if you can show documents with your address or the registry, you're still getting chastised by a slightly embarrassed, apologetic neighbourhood cop. 😅

Because he IS!
MatPat address this situation like a dad, even in the tone of his voice and expressions, this is why we love him.
(Ps. We are sorry)
You explained this issue and with the solutions like a real parent . And even though i was not included in any of your arg's neither this one I would still do my best to never forget these logical and should be followed because they are related to real life, rules . Thanks matpat 👍🏻
I have another thing to add: if there is a real-world location given, assume that local theorists will get there first and post. There’s no need to crowd such locations, especially if they’re in a small town or wilderness-type area. Too much foot traffic can endanger these environments or make the environment dangerous. There is no shame in watching from afar.
this!
This comment, yes! It's such an important thing. It's also fine to go to these places if you really want the full experience, but then wait untill the hype dies down a little bit and try to make sure you do it safe and properly, not to disturb anyone!
If you did it like that, you'd end up with a Chronicle of a Death Foretold situation, where everyone would assume someone went there, thus no one would actually go there! A better solution would be to have the group designate someone, who lives close by, to go check it out themselves! That way, everyone would be 100% sure the one person they agreed on went there, and no one else would have to go!
As someone who lives in a small town, I can confirm this. Foot and vehicular traffic can be a huge issue if it gets out of hand and there's too much of it.
@@karlhnedkovsky5214 as someone who lives in a small town, I’d much rather ops idea. No shade being thrown, just sayin
As someone who has done an ARG in the past, for the real place rule: TAKE SOMEONE WITH YOU! Never go into the woods alone (gravity falls arg I’m looking at you)! If you’re not familiar with the place, you need to bring a second set of eyes. As Unus Annus taught us “Use the Buddy System!”

Watching it for real, I’m glad to see how this was handled but can definitely see and hear the stress.
Thank you MatPat and the entire theorist team for handling the issue as fast as possible, and I hope every loyal theorist that was accidentally causing trouble saw or sees this video.
This was the most dad he's ever sounded. Respect.
This is so responsible of you, MatPat. As an ARG ourselves, and one that references real public places, this is a huge worry for us too. ARG rules are vague and undefined, and impossible to outright convey while staying in character as an ARG. It is awesome of you to take responsibility and try to put a stop to it, when you could have easily turned a blind eye to the mess. That earns a lot of respect.

And he did it very swiftly as soon as he realized the issue! No waiting till it gets too bad to the point where he can’t ignore it like other CZcamsrs who hope it just passed over cause they don’t want to deal with it or look bad.
Also notice how you didn't get an ad before and after the video so he's not making money off of this
You should totally add some kind of pop-up thingy in the last video linked to this to make it even more obvious for newer viewers of that video! Thank you so much for taking accountability and addressing everything accordingly, Matpat. Always unafraid to be genuine as always.
Give this man an award already. Mad respect to MatPat for addressing this in such a clear and professional manner.
Mad respect that you’re addressing this as soon as possible because this could’ve escalated quickly and you even offered a great solution so the fanbase would stop before it got out of hand. Nobody could’ve said it better than you did.
If only CZcams can take care of unneeded bots than useless copyright.
Edit: I don’t mean the Just Some Guy without a Mustache. There were bots above me when I said this, and apparently they were deleted. I ment the bots in the reply. Not them.
You changed your pfp?????
DONT READ MY NAME😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
@@imjustbeingrandom oh so i wasn’t hallucinating…😅
I think you have a mustache
tbh, this isn't Mat's fault, NEVER in the video was he like "HEY! Go and call up random businesses, asking about FNAF LORE" or anything like that, it was everyone else that went way, WAY TO FAR.
There's TOO MANY BOOOOOTS!
*too
He never explicitly said "go call up random businesses" but the implication is there when he literally says "I need your help" in the video. Larger creators like Matpat need to be conscious of how their fanbase will interpret things. Especially with a series like FNAF that attract a lot of younger viewers who are more prone to suggestion.
@@BimboSkank um so in other words he should keep in mind that his fans are idiots
@@BimboSkank MatPat has said "I need your help" with a lot of things on the channel and its never escalated to this value so why would that come to mind when its never been a problem before? The problem is much more in the community (specifically newer members) than MatPat's request for help.
mostly just commenting to boost the stats on this one, but this is a phenomenal video and set of guidelines moving forward for ARGs in general. it's easy to forget that the internet is still a wild west in a lot of ways, it's still pretty new in the grand scheme of things and we don't have set etiquette for a lot of digital-to-real-world crossover stuff like this. this video is not just a great apology, it's a great way to establish clear etiquette for both ARG creators and solvers. well done matpat
Thx MatPat, I saw the rage on twitter about you and I was confused. But I’m glad you are clearing it up
As someone who was involved in an ARG last year. I can not say this enough. DO NOT click random links on public forums like CZcams, and Reddit. It can lead to the potential of getting yourself hacked, phished or may lead to you getting a computer virus.
bruh dude, era of java viruses is gone, you cant be hacked by clicking a link anymore, only possibly getting your ip grabbed, but bruh, who doesnt use vpn
@@crusader_of_tomorrow Those of us who don't have a job and can't afford it. Thankfully though, my household is all very familiar with how computers work, so a VPN isn't necessary with a lot of things we do.
@@crusader_of_tomorrow you can still absolutely get an account compromised by clicking on a malicious link, mostly those in your cookies.
Another rule for going to real-world locations: always use the buddy system. Take someone with you when exploring, or at the very least, tell someone where you're going.
who the hell liked a bot comment?
You can like your own comment
@@personataplace4734 that is the only logical explanation
@@thepumpkin3203 This bot is one of a series in the comments. Different bots, all saying the same thing; I suspect they're liking each others'
Respect my friend, very well said on everything you noted and stated when it comes to safety, privacy, & most importantly, avoiding all illegal negativity.
Just thank you for this video. Keep up the fantastic work
