Origin: This can be found simply in the Puzzle Box.

The Watcher's note: InvertedCentaur is probably IC, so I put their character here.

This letter was mentioned in North, I think. Or in the old Discord conversations. I don't know I've heard about it before, I thought it was just made up, but turns out it's real, I was happy when I found it.

 

To Whom It May Concern,

Thank you for your interest in our FAQ on Zampanio, formerly hosted on gamefaqs.com. As you may have noticed, our emphasis on privacy has resulted in this faq being taken down. Your feedback on the quality of this FAQ is, of course, valued.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to aid you in your search for Zampanio or the promotion of your work for the several following reasons. Any figures referenced are available in the appendix.

We became aware of your search for Zampanio on June 3rd, 2021 when the user "jadedResearcher" asked the following question on gamefaqs.com: "Where can I actually find Zampanio (need it for a Sim)???". Upon seeing that this username was associated with making various simulations from a variety of fanbases, we presumed you may be the creator of said simulations and were proven correct when we found your post referencing our FAQ. (FIG 1.1) as well as your recent promotion of your 'simulation'.

In addition, we have concerns about your consistent, though minor, plagiarism of our FAQ. First, members of our team have noted the similarity of our repeated phrase "it never ends" (coded to hexadecimal hidden in images) with the phrase "THE END IS NEVER THE END" which appears several times throughout your content.

On a separate occasion, you posted a "vague todopile of shit to do" which largely mirrored our own goals in the same order with our FAQ. Though the post no longer exists, we have managed to obtain a screenshot of it. (FIG 1.2). Of particular note is the fractal radios, 217 password and scp references.

In addition to this your mission statement of "making a miasma of zampanio content to spread to the corners of the earth" uses similar wording to our FAQs central conceit of "spreading the fog of zampanio to the edge of the earth and beyond".

While looking at content you had previously produced, we noticed you were a "Waist" for FarragoFiction (see figure 1.3), which primarily is associated with the webcomic homestuck. While we were not able to get a screenshot in time we know you were somehow monetizing fancontent which is illegal.

There is also the matter of the timeline in which your "simulation" has gone live. It is common knowledge that our copy of Zampanio became unplayable some time ago in the past, and only recently has its recovery become possible. Don't think we don't know you used your illegal connections to make our game work. We can feel you watching us even now, as we type this. Don't think we don't know how to keep ourselves secret and hidden and safe. Don't think we don't know you're in league with the SpiralBehindItAll. You claim you're trying to simulate it and what is a simulation if not a door and what is a door if not a way into our world. I STOPPED it. I stopped playing it and I stopped writing the FAQ and I WAS OUT and like HELL am I going to assist you currently. We are absolutely not willing to listen to your side of the story and hope you rot in the hell which you have created.

We hope to never be in further contact again.
