 		It seems like DeadbyDawn already pointed that post out. It does seem like the code kind of hints at that... I don't really know. Still, pretty damn creepy. It also looks like the title of the last post was some sort of Bible reference, with the "Name #:##" passage thing. Weird... I'll keep my eye on this, but I'm still gonna try not to get involved.

Daniel 8:16
Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days, my computer is down and I'm working off of my PS right now. No need for anyone to panic, NOBODY hacked my puter or anything! My HD fragged cuz it was old!
Anyway, I looked up the bible quote from the latest post and it basically says:
And I heard a voice from the river say "Gabriel, explain the vision to this man."
I don't have my normal tools available so, I haven't been able to dig too deep yet. I do believe that we still have QUITE A FEW CLUES we haven't dug up yet!
The pic posted in the WAKEYWAKEY post hasn't been identified.
The code in the SLEEP post is still unsoved.
The EXPERGISCIMINI post is VERY SUSPICIOUS and SURELY has something hidden in it! I think the title of the post is encoded and probably the key for deciphering the rest of the text in the post. Hunter mentioned a couple different CF's at the beginning of this post that might help in deciphering the images, but I haven't been around for awhile and I'm not familiar with the CF's mentioned.
The latest post, DANIEL 8:16 seems straight forward, but I'm not 100% convinced it isn't hiding something.
Since it appears we are dealing with the Biblical Gabriel, we at least have a little background info that may help in understanding this.
Gabriel is the patron saint of messengers and communications. (So, if the author is a "believer", Gabriel would literally be their Patron Saint!)
Gabriel and 2 other angels are celebrated with a feast on Sept. 29th. (Or Nov. 8th, in Eastern religion.) So, this may be a significant date IG?
Gabriel has been portrayed in fiction lately as an antagonist to humanity for various reasons, MY FAVORITE being from "Constantine" where Gabriel feels man has become complacent, and is no longer worthy of God's love. Gabriel intends to bring about suffering, not to destroy man, but to make man worthy again!

I'm ASSUMING this is INDEPENDENT of any other CF or ARG? If it's not, then someone PLEASE speak up NOW! If it IS part of another CF, the clues will be A LOT easier to figure out!

EDIT:
So, it would seem we MAY BE receiving a little help from an UNKNOWN source. Or perhaps "encouragement" may be a better word? I received this message:

So, I'm guessing this is an answer to my question of whether or not this is stand alone?what does everone think??? Confused

EDIT 2:
So, the blog has been updated again today! It would appear that we have been presented with "Gabriel"! I'm going to post on his video who we are. Hopefully, he will shine a little light on this!
So, I went ahead and shot Gabriel an email telling him about us. I didn't use UnForum so as to avoid bringing an IG character in. If you are wondering, YES IG characters have been brought to the boards before, but I don't feel comfortable doing that. So, should any of you also like to email Gabriel, he will be expecting to hear from you.

 		Well shit... I just got back from school, and I get this... So, I looked at the "About" section on the channel, and it looks like there's an Ask.fm account that it links to. No questions have been asked yet, and I'm tempted to ask one, but I'm not really sure if I should get back into this after what happened last time, with all the hacking. Also, it does seem like they're going a similar direction that MDJ did with religion. I'm not sure if I should give "Gabriel" the link to this thread. It could possibly move the story along, but I'm not sure if getting a character involved in Unfiction would break any ToS. Also, I think the W4K3YW4K3Y picture might just be the series symbol. Who knows. You guys, after reading my posts, probably already know I'm a complete and utter doofus when it comes to anything related to engineering or hacking computers, solving codes, and all things in between. VERY right brained, not so much on the left side. If you guys find anything about what the codes mean, post it here. So far, Mr. Slim hasn't made an appearance, but I guess it's only a matter of time. So far, we have:

 		Yesterday
Update
Thanks, Hunter, for updating all the links we have so far! Very Happy
Since this is your Trailhead, maybe you could put these in the first post?

I REALLY expected there to be A LOT more discussion about emails?!?!
I had sent Gabriel an email yesterday, but I didn't have time to actually have a discussion with him so, I sent him an email this morning. I should mention before it gets buried, there is a
NEW POST
In my email I told Gabriel what we have decoded so far and VEHEMENTLY warned him to be careful!
If you don't feel like looking it up:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
2Peter 2:4
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;

PRETTY OMINOUS! I hope we have Gabriel around LONG ENOUGH to actually help us!

EDIT:
I have received one response from Gabriel. He mentioned having a rough week ON TOP OF the threats against him and his family. I asked what happened, but haven't heard back yet. He also mentioned that the "EXPERGISCIMINI" post on the blog is Latin. Expergiscimini in Latin is either awake or awaken. I don't know HOW THE HELL I MISSED THAT, but i did! Embarassed
I tried using awaken as a key for deciphering the body of the post, but have had no luck so far. I will update you guys if I hear anymore.

EDIT 2:
So, a couple of us have received an email from our Blogger!

 		In the email you just provided, the email mentions seraphim.

For those who want to know.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Seraphim are creatures in the Bible known to worship God without breaks, time off, and no further purpose in life. Perhaps the email is referencing to those who worship the slenderman?


I've also cracked two of the codes finally.
One of them was super obvious.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The post with the title "Sleep" has had a code that we have not been able to crack. But the answer was right in front of us.
Sleep was the code.
It was a codeword encryption. Once I entered the keyword into an encryption program, this is what showed up.

IWATCHYOUWHILEISLEEP.


This is obviously a jab to "freak out" Gabriel.

The second code over the photograph of Gabriel was a simple reverse alphabet cipher.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Once decoded this is what it read.

GABRIELIDONTUNDERSTANDWHYYOUWONTSAYHELLO


This is the Administrator of the blog becoming annoyed at the fact that Gabriel won't acknowledge his existence. However, with Gabriel posting the video...
I don't know what to expect.

 		So, I have an idea as to who the "Plague Doctor" could be. Among being an avid fan of the Slender Man Mythos, my friend Tails has gotten me into a spinoff Mythos, that has since been made canonical to the Slenderverse do to several crossovers and the like, called the Fear Mythos. For those unfamiliar, or just too lazy to do a five second Google search, the Fear Mythos revolves around humanity's most common fears manifesting themselves into physical beings who terrorize humans, or sometimes even use them as pawns in a Great Game. The Slender Man itself is also apparently an archetypal Fear, representing the fear of the unknown and the fear of strangers. Even the Black Dog from KeratinGarden is a Fear! The Plague Doctor is the archetypal fear of disease. This particular Fear wears a British plague mask, a black cloak, and a small top hat. It has its own band of servants called Oathbreakers, and that seems to be a common theme in the blog. I don't know if there's a religious group that worships it, but the Mythos is very interesting, because the entire canon is built by the fans and their workings and interpretations of the characters. Perhaps we'll be seeing a glimpse of something to its nature soon... Also, if anybody gets the chance to send Gabriel an email, relay any and all information provided by him that could be of use. Perhaps he knows something we don't. He was pretty quick to find out what that Latin meant. Not even our code master for the thread could figure out that puzzle.

 		Archangel
Has anyone taken the time to go to this site??
They mention something we have grown familiar to.
The Archangel.

This description is directly from the site.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Archangel is an archetype of the Fear of the Afterlife, also representing religious dogma and all things associated around it. It first appeared in The Great Game Verse, where Joseph Steward believed that the exception to becoming a part of the Archangel's afterlife was to be killed by a different Fear. This, he stated, will give you nothingness instead.
The Archangel can manifest as any dead person but its favored form appears in most stories as a figure in a gas mask. Some stories give The Archangel a weapon, though rarely will they elaborate on why it needs one.
The Great Game is most often associated with The Archangel, with some stories claiming it created the Game and others simply correlating the Game motif with the Fear.
The Archangel's servants are usually written as cults, with some of the most popular ones being the Timberwolves and the Apostles.
When stories give The Archangel a domain, it is usually called Bliss.


This is really opening things up.

 		Gabriel
yesterday
Awesome job on the ciphers TheOnlyOne!
Great find Hunter! Very Happy

I was able to have a conversation with Gabriel yesterday through email. If you guys would like to read them, I'll post them, but I can be "long winded" so, they may be a BORING read! Laughing
The majority of the conversation was spent convincing Gabriel that The Slenderman was the cause of this. He wasn't forthcoming with any new info either. BUT, the conversation wasn't a TOTAL LOSS, as I was able to convince him to tell a friend of his about us. That way, in case of an "EMERGENCY" someone other than him would be able to get in touch with us. Now, hopfully, that will happen!
It's AWESOME that the blog ciphers are done! Did anyone download the audio from the Dr. email? I would like to be able to hear it! We are probably going to need to help find Gabriel now, so that will probably be a good start. I'm guessing, but whatever "The Good Dr." has planned, will probably happen on Sept. 29th so, time will be a factor.

EDIT:
Well, it would seem I am, once again, WAY OFF BASE!
I just received an email from Gabriel saying he is OK and everything is reverting back to normal?! The Blog is no longer showing up on his computer, to which there is a
NEW POST!
I'm not going to speculate anymore, SINCE I'M ALWAYS WRONG! Laughing So, I'll just get to work on the cipher.

 		Regarding the last post http://p1agu3.blogspot.gr/2014/09/sanity.html i think i have decoded the message please correct me if i am wrong
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The last sentence of the post "HAHHHAAHHAHHHAHAHAHHHHHAHAHAHHAHHHHHAAHAHHHHAHAH"
if H=0 and A=1 translates to 010001100100010101000001010100100000110100001010
which then translates to FEAR (Binary to text) then decrypting the text using FEAR as password i arrived at a long string of binary code and again converting it to text the message is

 		Gabriel
NOT GABRIEL
Welcome aboard Sotiris, and EXCELLENT WORK!

I've been in contact with Gabriel through emails all morning, and I don't believe it's him. There wasn't anything concrete in the emails, but it didn't seem like he was interested in discussing the past couple of days. He wasn't interested in the information we've gathered since I spoke to him last, either.
I'm sure AT LEAST one more of us has been in contact with Gabriel, so BE WARNED, if you email him again, it may NOT be him!
Also, I googled "P4TI3NTZ3R0" and it came up with a videogame profile and a Soundcloud profile. I'M PRETTY SURE the videogame profile is going to be OOG, but I can't verify the Soundcloud account. (I REALLY MISS MY COMPUTER!!!)
