== The nutshell ==<br />
'''''The latest...'''''<br />
:On '''July 28''', [[Rocketpoppeteers.com]] became active allowing new recruits and established [[Rocket Poppeteers#Postal Responses|candidates]] to register or confirm their registration, respectively. [[Hooklineandminker.com]] and [[Scariestthingieversaw.com]] were also updated; the latter's update stating that the mysterious contact's intentions deal with Josh's father (as of yet unnamed). Josh was told to immediately take down the [[Craigslist Estate Sale|listings]] due to their importance. All listings have been removed and the phone number no longer works.<br />
<br />
'''''Story so far...'''''<br />
:On '''May 7''', with the premiere of Iron Man 2, a teaser trailer for Super 8 was revealed, then quickly bootlegged online. On [[Super8 teaser analysis|analyzing the final few seconds]], the phrase "[[:Image:Frames arranged.jpg|scariest thing I ever saw]]" was found, leading to [[Scariestthingieversaw.com]]. The site is a terminal into a machine with a [[:Image:STIES-Console100507_Printout.jpg|mysterious print-out]], and an [[:Image:STIES-Console100507_Text.png|80's era text interface]] indicating a file is being downloaded - estimated to complete on May 13th at 9pm PT. (JJ Abrams also confirms that Super 8 is ''not'' Cloverfield 2)<br />
:The teaser is made available online in HD on '''May 11''' at [http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/paramount/super8 Apple.com]<br />
:<br><br />
:On '''May 13''', the countdown on [[Scariestthingieversaw.com]] ended at 11:00pm EDT. Shortly afterward, [[Scariestthingieversaw.com#May 13, 2010|a new menu]] became available. Inputting one of the commands from the menu led to a [[May13-Newspaper|new puzzle]] and a new [[Rocketpoppeteers.com|in game website]].<br />
:<br><br />
:On '''June 1''', a new file [[braegen14]] appeared on the [[Scariestthingieversaw.com#June 1, 2010|Scariestthingieversaw.com]] desktop, leading to an audio clip containing a number of tones.<br />
:<br><br />
:On '''June 21''', the [[:File:STIES_20100621_Printout_200pct.png|mysterious print-out]] on [[Scariestthingieversaw.com#June 21, 2010|Scariestthingieversaw.com]] was updated to include an extended conversation containing a [[:File:STIES_20100621_Printout_Image.jpg|picture]]. The picture contains a reflected image of a sold item, leading to an [[Craigslist Estate Sale|estate sale]] in WV. The ads' photos contain portions of a phone number. On calling it, we find [[Josh Minker]] and the late [[Evelyn Minker]], and are led to [[Hooklineandminker.com]].<br />
:<br><br />
:On '''July 15''', individuals who mailed in the Rocket Poppeteers completed maze and coupon from the [[May13-Newspaper|May 13 newspaper]] began receiving [[Rocket Poppeteers#Postal Responses|responses]] in the mail.<br />
:<BR><br />
:On '''July 23''', the twitter [http://twitter.com/RocketPoppeteer RocketPoppeteer] became active, posting [[SDCC2010|pictures]] from a traveling Poppeteers recruiting truck at the [[SDCC2010|San Diego Comic-Con]]. People who show RP letters get a 'special surprise'. The special surprise may have been limited to a Rocket Poppeteers hat or shirt.<br />
