18th May Evaluation

The 18th May Evaluation, officially named All Shall Become Kings is the first known activity of the mysterious group known as Holofernes.

Starting from a thread on the random section of the popular image board 4chan, It resulted in the victory of Elizabeth, later promoted to Three, and two other contestants.

The initial thread contained no text and consisted solely of the associated picture. Soon after it was made, some curious anons noticed the Base64 string included in the message and started to decode it.

The string led to another image displaying a hex string, which in turn led to Holofernes I, the first video posted on the newly created Holofernes YouTube channel.

The video contained another Base64 string, the link to a pastebin containing a mysterious message.

Some time after that, anons noticed the channel description contained yet another Base64 string, which translated to a Skype group invitation link.This Skype group was where the evaluation was held.

When the evaluation finished, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel.

After that, the thread continued as anons tried to figure out what happened, and a second thread was made once the first died.

Not much is known about the evaluation proper, but here is what anons in the threads reported :

- Questions were asked.

- Music was played by the host during calls.

- There were some questions whose role was to determine who of One and Two was a liar.

- Two other Skype accounts connected at some point : "Judith" (Seven) and Nebuchadnezzar II, and interacted with the guests.

- The Skype chat reopened a few times and some anons in the thread claimed to have gotten in and to have been kicked at various points.

The evaluation resulted in the promotion of the winner, Elizabeth, to a member of the organisation - Three. She was later the host of the 25th May Evaluation.
