Thanks guys! I'm really glad I went, just to satisfy my curiosity. Plus it was only an hour away, and a great excuse to have some outside time.

I feel like several theories are quite reasonable, which is frustrating. I like to think that they had left something, and it was moved/taken before I could make it up there. We could also be waiting for a date to go, though I thought the live chat was basically an open invite, hahah. We could also maybe take the angle of trying to get Evan/someone to meet up with our tumblr Damsel.

Also, I had the same thought about the plastic bags, which is why I was afraid to open them, hahah. Well, that combined with the equally terrifying possibility of OTHER gross things that could be in there if they weren't from EMH. Hahah.

My travel companion and I were discussing how creepy it would be if we were to end up in a future video, hahah. There were a bunch of people around, and while that did make it less scary, there would also be more opportunities for something shady like that to go down. I think the guys are classier than that, but it's pretty freaky to imagine!

Anyway, it was awesome sauce, and I'm glad you guys like the pictures. Do you think we should wait on the coordinates, or use our energy to try to convince the dudes and the damsel to go?

I'm glad you didn't look in the bag. D: It could have been something interesting but chances seem largely in favor of it being something nasty and actually garbage-like.

But anyways, now you have a real, solid place fixed in your mind, Heybeesley, for if the EMH guys and 'damsel' meet up. If they wind up there together you can say that you were there! ;P

I've been tossing emails to Jeff of the EMH guys. They seem pretty happy about getting book/comic suggestions and like the idea of us formulating questions ahead of time and figuring out some way of asking them so that they can clearly answer them!

So... maybe we should rally together and figure out what questions we want to ask, and who should ask them in what order?

Has anyone linked the EMH guys to CYSTW's post of her coordinates? In an email, I mean, since the live chat gobbles up URL's. I don't remember anyone specifically saying that they emailed that, though I could just be having a forgetful moment!

[Demongel]

They know about it. During the last live stream they were informed of it, and that's when they said something along the lines of "Hey, if you guys wanna check it out go ahead! We're gonna be smart and not go to where the anonymous notes are telling us to go!"

[Megarain]

I know I'm coming late to the party, but were the streams recorded?

[Demongel]

Yeah, they're archived on the UStream site.

[Megarain]

Could I please have the link?

I had sent an email to that regard but I do not think I got a response.

So, if we are gonna start collaborating about questions, we need to start sooner than later. In addition, we need to be sly.

I sent an email asking about CYSTW and they said they would check with Evan about it. With Evan on the next live feed, maybe we should pose the question to him directly?

Further, we should avoid the use of SM, Slendy, or other boogie man related stuff and just ask if there have been any other weird shrines or weird happenings.

Just my $.02.

[Magus00]

This is me, hating the hater.

I think that it would be neat to ask them if they could do a video involving some of that zombie survival guide stuff -- completely on a tangent, but since they seem so hyped about it, and were mentioning knife-fight defense as a subject for a video, maybe putting a twist on it like that could be fun to make? (And, you know, Slender Man ain't no zombie, but putting 'em in mind of survival might help 'em to get into gear when the denial stage is over!)

I agree about not mentioning Slender Man/boogie men/occult weirdness. I'd also suggest not mentioning --- or ..., just because they've clearly stated that neither exist for them, in game, in any sense.

Maybe shifting such questions to CYSTW-gal would allow us to help advance the game further, somehow?

[Magus00]

Nice thought, Dray.

She has, for all intents and purposes, come out and said "OMFG SLENDER MAN IS STALKING ME!" without actually saying it. She does seem hesitent to discuss much about it, however. Seems she feels the more you discuss it, the more you name it, the more real and dangerous it becomes.

Any thoughts on how to bring it up to Damsel?

[nyc_jester]

Well Damsel's made it abundantly clear that she won't discuss SM with people who themselves haven't experienced him...so maybe if we pose questions to her as people who have encountered SM (asking things like "How do you cope?", "Does he come to you mostly at night, too?" "What can we do to stop him?", etc.), we'll get a better response and maybe move things forward a bit.
