 		IDK, made me laugh, however. This idea has been run a bit into the ground, however I see no reason for it to be the Slenderman.

 		Hmm, there were connections to norse mythology in JAF (Yggdrasil...), so there could be a connection to Gjallarhorn and Ragnarök...

Maybe all those storys about SM are connected and part of something bigger... Shocked

But on second thought i think it´s just because of the SM-hype that everyone implements it into their games. Rolling Eyes

 		well there is vishnu and shiva, kali, 6 arms there, and female kinda fits w/ some of the stuff although a bit hindu when they've been going more druid in nature, so not sure just thinking outloud.

 		Hey guys.

Totally new to ARGs, thought I'd jump in to this one seeing as it's newly off the ground and the 'homebrew DIY' aspect appeals to me.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's a picture of Christina tied to a chair, around the chair are some weird symbols, and there's a shadow over her face, here's the weird thing, the shadow looks like it has about six arms, and stands about 7 feet. Nobody's that tall....


The instant reaction is to throw your hands up and cry "OMG! Slenderman bandwagon.. all aboard!" but I doubt very much the trail will descend into such generic clap-trap, at least not this early in the game!

The religious sect feel presented so far leads me to believe this is some kind of clue towards a deity. Multi-armed deities are MOST commonly found in Hindu lore, such as Vishnu, Ganesha, Shiva and Kali. All these deities have historically had incarnations where they have been depicted with 6 arms, but it can vary from 4 to 20 arms. Not one is exclusively associated with 6. Due to the female-centric focus so far I am inclined to lean towards the most famous female deity, Kali, the goddess of time and change.

This is totally missing the point of the connection to Norse folklore presented earlier with the HORN clue, so is probably redundant.

Currently searching through Norse mtyhologies looking for instances of 6 arms.

 		Interesting Twitter developments from @highchosen1 over the last couple of hours.

Has implied that the organisation they belong to were responsible for Christina's abduction and that Christina is a vessel rather than a sacrifice. Seems this organisation is concerned with "helping HIM come back to full power". HIM is "a creature that has existed since before the dawn of time, it has many names, God, Satan, Lucifer, Ra. Whatever the name, any great being in history has been influenced by it."

Then opened up a Tinychat room at http://tinychat.com/HEwillrise but it's currently empty.

 		I just spoke to Twitter user @highchosen1 in the Tinychat. They had some very interesting things to say. As this was a one to one conversation, I'd recommend not viewing the following transcript and attempting to contact them yourself, and ask your own questions. Maybe you'll get different answers?

CHAT TRANSCRIPT

[13:59] marshallstaxx: is it possible to become an initiate or accolyte like you have?
[13:59] highchosen1: It is possible, but difficult

He has tried to implement a spy into our ranks, that is high treason according to the high ones. Do not concern yourself any longer, he has been dealt with.

HE is god, or rather, all gods ever have been HIM. HE takes on a different form for each individual to see HIM

Now, you have been entered into our records. Thank you, an email will be sent to you with more information withing the next 24 hours.

Where did you get this information from? Source?

Most prevalent deity commonly depicted with serpents for arms is the Aztec 'Mother Of All Gods', Coatlicue. She's quite the looker -
