Found

June 23rd, 2007, 1:00AM
I was playing Crossroads with my friend 314Drummer. We were pulling an all-nighter, staying up past our curfew. My friend had found a glitch where the rocket launcher could be exploited to fly out of the map. It worked well for him, but when I tried it something weird happened. These are the chat logs from that moment. 314Drummer: Did it work?

cowdungguy {Me}: It did but something weird is happening

314Drummer: ?!?!

cowdungguy: I see... something that wasn’t here before... My friend performed the glitch again, and he saw it too. It gave off this color of a really bright white. The brightness made me start seeing spots, as if I looked at the Sun. Suddenly, the chat was spammed with the following text: {{blockquote|text={IntergerError: Failed stop Found.exe ~ {Error: File cannot be deleted}}}My friend who had computer knowledge tried to decode the error, but it was an error he had never seen before. He tried emailing Roblox about it, but Roblox hadn’t seen this error anywhere before. In the midst of all this, it seemed like the bright light was getting a shade of red darker instead of white, and more blinding. It caused my eyes to sore.

A black fog slowly rose around us. I just thought it was part of the error in chat. My friend found something on the ground written in the green verified font, that read “H e l p m e, H e l p m e b e f o u n d. I t s t o o l a t e t o a p o l o g I i z e t o m y s i n. . ” As I read it aloud we both cringed in our Skype call. My Roblox character wore a look of sadness. So did my friend’s.

The fog blurred our vision. I proposed the idea to leave. My friend said that we should stay a little longer. That was a mistake, because right after my friend said that, a figrue of an unknown color walked up to us. 314Drummer: What the.

cowdungguy: What does it want?…

Found:  ....esaelp ...oooog ....oooog

314Drummer: .....?

cowdungguy: It wants us to leave...

314Drummer: Should we listen to some stupid figrue in a video game?! I don’t think we should. Our horrid decision to not listen backfired. We decided to play more rounds of “Kill Everyone” and just forget about the figure‘s words. As I won another round of our little game, I was talking to my friend about my personal life in the Skype Call, but then all of a sudden the call abruptly ended and set my friend’s Skype status as “Not Available”

My friend also abruplty left the game. I was alone with nobody now. The figrue stared into my characters eyes, and all of a sudden the game shutdown. In big letters the homepage displayed “Roblox is currently down for maintence” I took a deep breath. There was nothing to do now but go to bed and try to forget. I said to myself I don’t want that figrue to be found again. Forget. Forget. Forget...

Me and my friends were messing around on the forums, it was a new thing at the time and everyone was checking it out. I saw a post titled “'Forget. Forget, forget...” 'in the hacked font. I clicked on the page, being curious about the concept. When I loaded the page, a user by the name of Found replied to the thread saying “i w1ll ki l l u”

The OP didnt reply, probably because someone saying “Ima kill you” on the Internet is improbable. The thread was blank with no text except for the title. I replied to the thread. Big mistake... cowdungguy: What’s wrong?

OP: ...

Found: @Cow it’s time to die. I’ve seen you before. #### you. That moment I remembered. I’d seen this guy before. It was the same guy that was in my game a year ago. I decided to reply to the message with a cocky response: cowdungguy: What can YOU do about it, you tryhard.

Found: You'll see... You'll see... You'll see... I then felt some sort of tingling in my hand. It was like my hand was trying to warn me of whatever dangers would come next. I decided to play SR4 to get my mind off of it. But when I joined SR4, I was instantly warped into another game. The game was known as "Found's Place" the description read: "I wish to not be found my one or by many, I wish to be uncovered in all of time." I thought the description was trying to be edgy like some depressed emo kid. When I entered the game, there was just nothing. Nothing to be found in the place, so my Robloxian was loop killed due to the absence of anything. After about ten minutes, the loop killing stopped. There appeared a black stud. That's it. it didn't seem like a big deal, but Found had put text of the brick saying:

Note to all: this is my most prized possession, please, don't touch it... But being the dumbass that I was at the time, I touched it while filming it to send it to my friends to try to be "cool" but after I touched it, the text changed to: WHAT THE HELL DID I SAY. I jumped from the sudden change. How could he edit the text without shutting the game down? I cringed at the mere thought of this phenomenon. The video I was going to send to my friends was deleted, and instead replaced with this picture: (right)

That's right. A picture of pure blackness. There was a new note created on my phone that I didn't create. It read "... I s a i d d o n ' t t o u c h . . . "

I felt like I was about to be punished for my actions. I thought in my mind "Oh sh-t. Why did I do this... I've seen a million horror movies and when the characters don't listen to the entity... they... they..." I didn't complete my thought because I didn't want to disturb myself more than I had to.

My phone cracked little by little, but I didn't do anything to make it crack. Eventually it looked like the phone was going to explode from the sheer force of the cracking. I threw it across the room and sure enough, it exploded into a million little shards of glass, phone parts and plastic. I shivered in fear, but I still managed to look back at the game. The sky and ground were jet black, causing the game to appear as if there wasn't any light source. I thought of this as some stupid trick to scare me, so I left the game to prevent further annoyance.

I posted on the forums about this, asking if anyone had experienced this in any other games before. cowdungguy: I just played a Roblox game with nothing in it... What do you make of this.

BearBeing: Your lyin stopid nub!!!

1Mafia: Not me, but my internet friend did... I haven't talked to him since... I gasped. Mafia's sentence deeply concerned me, so I replied to his reply. cowdungguy: Do you know what happened to him?

1Mafia: Yes. His parents messaged me saying "Jack (my friend) is dead after we spotted him with glass shards in his feet, and a pickaxe down his throat. It seemed like a suicide, but it couldn't have been... he's usually happy. My heart beat faster as I read the sentence. Could it've been the same person who warped me into that strange game? cowdungguy: Did you catch his name?

1Mafia: No, but his last chat message read "holy crapp... i feel a pain in my chest. HOLY HELL THERES THIS GUY CALLED FOU-" I had a heart attack. It was Found. I had to tell this guy about my story. cowdungguy: Wait, do you mean Found? I had an encounter with this guy today... He warped me into a game with nothing in it, but after 10 minutes, a single brick appeared that said not to touch it because it was his "prized possession" but I touched it anyway, and my phones video if capturing this was replaced with a pure black image, afterwards my phone exploded and then the place was jet black...

1Mafia: Holy sh...

Found: 'Listen here, you cuck. I've found you. Stop telling him stuff about me. Asshole.' "Oh crap" I thought to myself. He found me. 'Found found me. ''I decided to stop contacting 1Mafia in this form to prevent Found from finding me. '''I instead messaged him via his/her inbox. cowdungguy: Can we enter that game together? I'm afraid to go alone

1Mafia: Sure. We both entered the game and sure enough, everything was still blank, just as it was before. 1Mafia: Come over here, cow.

cowdungguy: ??? I was confused because there wasn't anything to travel on in order to get to Mafia. But then when I looked to the left a little, I saw it. It was a bridge with a player-model on it. I walked in that direction, and I soon found out that wasn't just a player model, it was Found's player model. It seemed to stare into my soul. Staring, staring. Always staring. I almost seemed to fall into some trance, until Mafia found me and bloxxed me to wake me up.

My mind went into a sudden shock because of the interruption of the trance. From a distance, I saw Found pull out a chainsaw, and slice Mafia's head off. I was disturbed as sh-t at this point. I was so scared, I exited the game out of fear. My avatars shirt was changed to a shirt that read: "'F-cking pussy'"I tried to delete the shirt because it had my username under the shirt. But every time I'd delete it, it would be even more insulting then the last shirt. The second time I change it, it read: "You cant hide from me, dipsh*t."The third time; "You will always be found, you f-cking little b-tch. Stop trying to delete this shirt or pay the price."I didn't listen to him and tried to delete it a fourth time, in which the shirt now depicted an image from PopcornHub. The shirt was instantly deleted from the catalog, and I was hit with a Reminder. "Our content monitors at Roblox have detected that your behavior on ROBLOX is in violation of our Terms of Service.

It was Christmas and I had accepted my Christmas gifts (mainly gift cards) and decided to get on the ROBLOX forums to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. As soon as the post was created, there were dozens of replies to the post wishing me a Merry Christmas back. cowdungguy: Merry Christmas everyone!

CherryMouth7: Happy holidays mate :D

MerryJane234: Merry Xmas!! :3

64Mario: You too. I thought to myself that the ROBLOX Community was so calm and peaceful, no flame wars or raids, just innocent foruming and games. That was when I noticed I had some unread messages. I clicked on my messages, expecting the messages to be from my ROBLOX friends, AllenCerp and LabSosa. But when the messages page loaded, it wasn't from Allen, nor Lab. It was from... Nobody? But how? You can't create usernames with no name!

I decided to check what the message said anyway, since it was Christmas Day. I thought "Who would even hack on Christmas Day anyways, a diluted delinquent?" The message read: From:

To: cowdungguy

Hello, my name is Nate and I would like to give you a Christmas present!!! The link led to a ROBLOX game, but instead of just taking me to the game's page and letting me view the place description, comments, and like to dislike ratio, it instead took me straight to the game. "Weird." I thought, no link I've ever clicked on has ever done that before. When the game finished loading, it was the default Happy Home place. The user with no name walked up to me and gave me his/her gift. The decal on this gift that was wrapped in virtual wrapping read, For Fredrick F. Sakes From: Wait, how'd he know my real name? I'd never told this guy anything about me, not even about what I like or dislike. I thought it was just some hacker trying to scare me, so I opened his gift anyway. As soon as I opened the gift, it felt like something had whispered into my ear "You're screwed" the gift seemed normal, it looked like one of those Egg Hunt Eggs that appeared a year ago. But when I touched the egg, the game crashed. At first I thought it was because ROBLOX overflowed and couldn't handle the egg being touched, so I ignored it.

I went searching around on the web to see if anyone else had seen what I call a “crash egg” eventually I found a Reddit post on it, stating that the egg was the result of an egg that ROBLOX was going to have in the 2008 egg hunt, but screwed the code up and instead made it a crash egg that was on the Catalog for a few minutes before it’s deletion. Which means that this guy has been around for a bit to get this egg.

11:00PM
Sleep-deprived, that’s what I was going to be if I didn’t go to bed right there and then. I would’ve, but I was forced to go try to find my older sister at this time, who all of a sudden disappeared from my household for no reason. I couldn’t drive at the time, since I was below the legal age and couldn’t get a license because of that, obviously, so I took my bike to find my sister instead.

As I biked through my neighborhood surrounded by pine I spotted something especially weird. Usually my close friend Meg always stays up late with her light on, but when I passed her house this time, the house was in an aroma of darkness. Being the good friend that I am I passed by her house to see what’s up. I knocked on the door, no response. I ring the door bell, also no response. Just silence engulfing around me.

I tried opening the back door, and it slowly creaked open. I sometimes forget how much thirty years can do to a house. Especially my friend’s, who’s house doesn’t look like a woman over her 20 at the age of 40. As I open the door, I am greeted with the sinister absence of light in the kitchen, dishes from this night’s dinner left unwashed and forgotten. I look further ahead and see the center of the household, the living room, with a giant flat-screen TV on the wall, as if it were looking down upon me.

I hear a noise. At first I think it’s my harebrained mind that thought up this illusion of auditory fear, but I am soon proven wrong when the noise gets louder. '''Bang. '''It seems to be coming from the laundry room, where scattered, unfolded clothes filled the tiled floor. I then enter an unused extra area of space Meg’s family decided to leave for storage purposes. To my surprise a dim light was illuminating the barren room. I start sweating as I turn the knob on the door, but still manage to take a peek inside. What I see makes my heart beat faster.

I saw a mysterious, slender man with a hockey mask and a hoodie. I see Meg and her family tied in barbwire, and the strange man shouting threats at them.

"You better not tell anyone, call anyone, or even mention this to anyone! You'll be sorry. Dead sorry."

They nodded in acceptance to protect their lives, but I knew for a fact they only did this out of fear. I try to think of a way to free them from being hostage, but I must've stared off into space while doing it, because the strange man heard the door make a noise and assumed it was a person.

12:00AM
My heart starts racing as the man approaches the door. "Welp, that's it, I'm done for" I think in my head as the man starts to turn the knob. I panicked and pulled out my pocket knife.

"What are you doing here, pest?" The man asks in a loud, threatening voice. I couldn't answer his question, because I was so scared I couldn't speak one word. Instead of answering his question, I quickly took my pocket knife and cut the man out of fear. I swiftly cut the barbed-wire and freed Meg and her family from this strange man's possession. I ripped off the duct-tape on their mouths, told everyone to grab onto one another, and ran for the hills. Who was that guy, anyway?

I call 911 to arrest this crazy man, but as soon as 911 gets here, he escapes. I explain to the police that I do have evidence. What the man didn't realize is I stole a piece of his hair after he was unconscious. "

"Thank you." The police said as they left the home. I tried to calm down the family after the intense expirence

"Don't worry guys," I said sincerely, "It'll be okay. He's gone now." The family asked for a hug to calm them down, so I agreed to hug them because I wanted to be the best friend I could be. I exited the house and realized I still hadn't found my sister. Turns out my sister went missing because her "boyfriend" made her stay at his place for an hour. I remember specifically rolling my eyes whenever I heard this from my older sister.

10:00AM
I wake up only to realize I'd slept until 10 o'clock, and briskly jumped out of my bed. I wanted to play a ROBLOX game, so I decided to choose Shedlestky's "Sword Fights on the Heights" that was a brand new game at the time. When I'd loaded up Swords Fights on the Heights, I got into combat with someone called "Noobster122" and killed him. This was the first time I got called a "nub" Noobster122: omg haxor!!!

cowdungguy: lol no

Noobster122: stupid nub

cowdungguy: ... Just as I was absolutely obliterating this guy in a sword fight, my game starts glitching. Glitching in a sense where the ground is just non-existent, and the sky is the ground. I look up and see a user flying, then I think in my mind "Probably just some hacker who wants to show off his hacks to everyone" but the user chats back "He who does it gets it" The problem with this was this person figured out a way to disable chat, so I couldn't say anything back. All I could do was report him and hope ROBLOX looks at
