This is probably a long shot, but...

If someone on the app suddenly forgets about the app, or just all the weird things going on ... is there a way to make them, er, re-remember again?

Thanks. I'm sorry if this's been asked before.

Even if it has, it's worth asking again to refresh people's memories, or for those of us who only recently got the app.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I guess you're right.
I just don't want to bother people with questions they've heard a lot.

[abovethefold]

It's possible that they can remember again, but I don't think it's up to us.

I forgot everything about Retrospec last month for nearly two weeks. Then it all just came rushing back. I couldn't believe I'd somehow forgotten, with everything that was going on...

Nobody reminded me of it though; I remembered it on my own.

[fiddlestick]

Really?

[That's actually a relief. he thinks. it's complicated.]

So he could remember again on his own?

[notyourutopian]

As far as I've been able to figure out, nothing anyone has tried has worked.

[fiddlestick]

Oh. That's too bad.

[optimistical]

I think the only way to re-remember everything is with the app.

A couple of my friends and I were aware of all the weird things going on when we had it but when it disappeared off our phones, we suddenly forgot everything. Then when we got it back a few weeks later, we remembered everything again.

[fiddlestick]

So in other words, unless the app gets back on his phone, he won't remember?

And I suppose it's not as easy as just re-downloading it on his phone.

[usurpers]

what happened?

[fiddlestick]

Carlos doesn't remember the app.
I called him last night and it was like he forgot everything about it as well as the weird stuff going on.

[windeity]

from what i can tell, it is all app-based.
a friend of mine says that people in his family used to have the app and then when they were taken off of it, they forgot everything. but then a lot of months went by and now she's back and remembers some of the weird stuff going on. but not much.
and a few weeks before i got the app i remember the monsters and stuff but without the app? nothing.
it kind of makes me wonder if there is a way we can try to recreate the app itself or something and see if that would work to jar people's memories of the thing.

[fiddlestick]

So if you lose the app, you forget, but sometimes it comes back...?
That sounds like what everyone else has been saying too.

I don't know, maybe there is. I'm going to try stealing my brother's phone next time I see him. Maybe if I can get the app back on there somehow, he'll remember again.

[gudaguda]

If you ever figure it out, do you mind telling me as well?

I've been trying various things to no avail...

[fiddlestick]

Oh, of course! Though so far I haven't had much luck...

It sounds like people can remember again, but not by anything we can do.

[lingeringwill]

sorry, kid

[fiddlestick]

No then?

Well, thanks anyway.

[blind_badass]

Who has forgotten the application that knew it before?

[fiddlestick]

My brother.

[yamagishi]

I don't know but I think it's worth a try?

I never met someone who had that happen though so I don't know how much it will work.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, sounds like it's pretty unlikely I'll be able to do anything...
But it's my brother, so I still wanna try.

[parodeity]

not so far as ive found so far unfortunately
and reremembering is actually pretty relatively rare

[fiddlestick]

Oh...
Yeah, it sounds like it's not common.
It's pretty disappointing, but I guess it was a long shot.

[odapologist]

Ah, so this happens more than I thought. It doesn't seem like there's a way without them getting the app again... but if you find out something else, please tell me? My older sister was affected.

Someone told me there's a reason why, but they're waiting on getting that info too.

[fiddlestick]

Your older sister? Oh no, I'm sorry. It was my older brother who forgot.

But of course if I hear anything, I'll let you know! I'm not having any luck though....

Where are they getting that info?

[heiroglyphs]

No.
There isn't.
There's nothing anyone can do.

[fiddlestick]

Oh...
That's what it's sounding like.

[mercurio]

i don't think i've been able to
with the people i do know

[fiddlestick]

That's what I've been hearing...

[Which is really disappointing]

It was Carlos who lost the app.
