I recall in early Slendy mythos that he took away children that would grow up to be, "monsters."
I don't recall it being explained what that was supposed to mean, but I took it to mean that he took kids that would grow up to be rapists, mass-murderers, etc.

...Seemed relevant.

I definitely agree that SM is a force, rather than a being. What with the whole "flood" thing, we should be equating him to a natural disaster.

isn't it mentioned in slenderman's past that he often (somehow) makes use of fire to burn down buildings? (Jay's old apartment, cystw's house (which resulted in the death of her parents), the 'Stirling City Library blaze') considering how water puts out fire, could that have something to do with this?

idk if anyone pointed this out or not, but the guys put a deadline on the yoga-promo-contest on twitter, they want the pictures and stuff by sunday the 25th.

Lurkerpants: Apologies and shame on me -- I'll be good!

The deadline: Awww crap, that's not nearly enough time to draw anything half-decent on the schedule that I'm working! Oh well, it's a fun idea in any case!

Floods and gods and Slender-doom: All of this talk of Slender Man being huge and otherly and we never see much more than noodle-arms, a sharp suit, and a pantie-hose-covered face. I hope that if they are making such great and sweeping allusions that they'll find some way to make us feel that this is really happening, somewhere, to one of the protagonists. Completely fucking Jay over is probably the closest that I think anyone's gotten to making that happen and instead of using Slender Man himself, they achieved that mostly through the use of TTA!

Im just now catching up, and I dont know if this has been mentioned before, but, in #7?

The fish tank D: Oh aquarium addictions. I couldnt pay attention to anything but that glass box xD

How the heck did I miss this one for so long? This is the only other Slenderman ARG that's really caught my interest since MH. Now that I've read the thread, here, a couple comments.

First off, this thing really should have its own forum.

Secondly, I think we can all sort of agree that marble hornets is definitely a big source of inspiration for these guys, and they're maybe even taking large chunks of their own mythology from the marble hornets universe, so using them as a reference point isn't a bad idea. Everyone else noticed 'theark' written on the box, right?

Now, in marble hornets, I seem to recall that water was a big deal for a while. partially because of some TTA vids, and partially because the distortion seemed to kick in 110% whenever water was on screen. Is it possible the EMH guys are extrapolating on that, somehow?

Huh, she posted an OKGO song, "This too shall pass."

I wonder what that could mean...

[iconochasm]

this also might have been posted previously, but has anyone else noticed that the "drawing mannequin" in Vinnie's office changes positions in every shot so far?
It hasn't moved in any significant way so far, it's just lowered its arms.
But it might be something to keep an eye on I think.
ALSO, there was also a mannequin in one of the totheark vids, which I know aren't necessarily connected, but maybe it's just a reference, since this is also centered around Slendy.

I always thought that the mannequin was a reference or homage to Marble Hornets. Neat that it's been moving its arms slowly downwards, though!
