That's a great concept for a game, Knolly! Sort of like a real life version of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch's seven basic plot points. I'm sorry I missed it.

D'oh, I just found out about the various Slender Man ARG's going on yesterday afternoon, so I missed out on this one, and the chat!

I'm still searching around to read up on everything that happened, but this looks like it was an awesome ride. Kudos on getting people so psyched up!

I have a question (apologies if I shouldn't post it here!): As a puppet master who feels that they've failed in some ways, what are some things that you would have changed or that you thought you could have done better? My girlfriend and I have been interested in ARG's since she stumbled over I Love Bees, and we would like to set one up of our own one day. While everything is still fresh in your mind, I would love to hear some do's and don't's that you would have told yourself, and that you would pass on to aspiring ARG PM's.

That said, I don't think you should beat yourself up too much. The ending of your blog is a cliff hanger of sorts, and that's perfectly legitimate. You're experimenting with a relatively new media, so endings that we're not used to are experimental and totally cool. Cliffhangers in books are "D:"-inducing because we KNOW it's the end of the book. Cliffhangers ending interactive media are even more so... I think your ending totally follows with the uncertain dread following the Slender Man mythos.

That, and reading through it (not even having read up on the rest of the game!) really made me sympathize with Josh. and the comments. And that one last comment:

The PM Chat went well, many thanks to everyone who participated. I've gone through the logs and doctored them up to make it easier to find the questions and (more importantly) the answers. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!

Here there be logs

Eeh, I just read through it! Thanks for posting, Dav! Wish I could have been there!

[tetsuyabh]

Yeah, I missed it, too. I wish there would have been more notice, but oh, well.

I read it, enjoyed it, and had one question I would have asked:
Were the "??" people supposed to receive a page from the notebook? dopeoplethink seemed more and more like the candidate for V which led me to believe at the end that I should have made sure the rest of the nine received their pages.
