bummer

So the Slender-Hunter did dot reblog the story, so I guess it's OOG. It might be the inspiration of the ARG, but has no value to Slender-Hunter.
I'll check again tomorrow, maybe he is waiting or something.

The story is posted on Slender-Hunter's tumblr.
He makes clear it's not real, but it does have some truth in it.
So it's OOG.

FWIW and it is only my opinion, I dont think "the SomethingAwfull legend of slenderman" has much, if anything to do with MarbleHornets, and my logic behind it.

A. "MH" twitter account isnt following anyone, J's youtube isnt subscribing to any other channels either. So any comments made by his followers or people that subscribed to his channel are random at best, gamejacks at worst.

B. J hasnt said one thing about slenderman, Caseys_mom saw some tweets and posted about them here, the tweets are there but they are from follower ehphotography to kennethlowe and back. The MH tweets dont acknowledge slenderman.

C. Slender_hunter tweets do aknowledge SomethingAwfull.

I dont wanna sound like I know whats going on here, I don't have a clue.
I just feel like unless the MarbleHornet tweets mention "slenderman" it feels wrong. Like a coincidental connection, or a Jack.

Its my $.02

Look, I pretty sure this isn't an ARG at all. The man behind the MarbelHornets videos is, as stated previously, an SA goon named ce gar that has been posting them on SA. I'm pretty sure unfiction wasn't meant to stumble upon it and take it as an ARG, and that the videos are purely for the entertainment of ce gar's fellow goons. And as for the other 'characters', well they're just other goons who are trying to scare people with the Slender Man concept, as many SA members in the thread of Slender Man's origins have suggested should be done. If you will notice, there haven't been any puzzles or anything besides a few creepy videos that would lead you to believe that this is a game. You guys are probably reading too far into this.

Also, this is my first post in about a year...

No problem, but if you look through the SomethingAwful thread you can find a post by ce gar that is a long story about his friend making a film and then dropping the project and saying he would burn the footage, and then ce gar gets the footage and says that he'll start posting the unusual clips of film on youtube.

...Second post in about a year...

OH wow , nice find Scarlytte, That is just toooo creepy,


That one still scares the hell out of me just thinking of it. I think it's because it's the only one where SL is -inside- rather than lurking about outside.

Slender-hunter posted a new post on his tumblr:
http://slender-hunter.tumblr.com/post/136449661

It's the pic Scarlytte posted, he even gave you credit, Scarlytte!
I have a tumblr, so I am following him, and he is following me,
so if we need to contact him, I can make posts and he will see them.

Poor Slender-Hunter, I post so much randomness =D

Edit: Slender hunter made a new post about the pic. Just saying he can't find info and contacted his friend in the local PD. So expect more posts my Slender-Hunter.


I just sent that for fun, and to spread the creepy. It's really creepy! Never thought I'd be mentioned, but awesome!

I think perhaps this thing, that started as innocent fun, has grown, evolved into an accidental ARG. The fun being so many people creating the clues, the trailhead coming from a place that leaves you thinking, "Oh that's crap! But...maybe..." Personally I think this is fun, and love seeing what other people churn out in regards to this. I came to grips awhile ago that there likely won't be a 'solution', but it's still a hell of a lot of fun.

....and kept me up all night! Again!

edit 2: I'm looking trough the livejournal of the person that posted the pics. The topics are sort of typical, with sometimes a picture mixed in. But there is also a lot of writing in code. Anyone want to take a shot at it? I suck in decoding =/

It's vigenere that begins " This is some totally random bullshit...."

No need to say more, very OOG. Hard to tell whats IG, or even if there is a G.
Fun so far though.

He also made a post about it on Tumblr.
I guess this is the next step?
I'm starting to doubt as well.
We will see where this will take us.

I can try, but it's odd. I got a text message today telling me
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
your message was received. please stand by for further instructions. Be Careful - Slender Hunter
I find it odd that only the last four words were capitalized, and Careful shouldn't have been.

The text I got didn't have "careful" capitalized, probably just a typo.
