So, in the last 24 hours have generated ten forum pages. ... I'm sure it might end up on the wiki, but for those of us who might not wanted to read through all 10 pages, here are links to two videos that have surfaced today:

Welcome to the Ark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqWGOF6Y2TA

and SlenderMan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNRk-Du9C9s

There is some discussion as to whether these videos are cannon within EMH, or entries into a contest called Synthetic Cinema's Monster Mash-Up.

The two figures in the water in Welcome To The Ark are Vince and Evan. Which probably means something.

I still have no idea what godawful reasoning led to these being considered OOG.

AND IT'S SPELLED CANON YOU BUTT MUNCHING FAGGOTRON



.. I'm not actually mad but seriously

Well, if it's OOG, I think it's kind of in poor taste to use characters and the exact elements from the ARG for the competition. I mean, if I could fantasty PM it, I would have done something as the EMH group submitting something for the contest with fake slendy(with maybe something ARG relevent in the background).

I understand that doing it from different accounts from the EMH channel might give them a clear...but the nature of the game is going to make us jump on this sort of thing and have 10 pages of speculation as to if this was OOG or not.

Come now gentlemen and women, must we bicker like children? please remember this is a game. know those videos of the kids screaming at WOW? No? well it usually goes like this:

Hey, I've been following this for a while, and I'm joining now I actually feel like I've got an idea what's going on. Those videos in the contest were...interesting, but the progression and filming of them were so different to the videos we see normally (even the secret videos) that I doubt they're worthwhile. They are definitely catered to the contest itself, with self-contained stories (I could pick up the Slender man one without any prior knowledge, and be creeped out; in fact, I'd probably be more creeped out if I hadn't watched the rest of the series) and far more fastpaced editing (distortion and displaced cuts out the arse). I also swear I saw a TribeTwelve reference in one, with that lightning bolt; the framing of the shot felt very familiar. They seem...a lot messier than the actual videos, in my opinion, and if they were IG, I reckon they'd take away from the atmosphere of it.

That said? I could be wrong, but there's no point arguing about it; we've all got the same information, so it's all just opinion.

EDIT: Fun fact: Check out who else found those two videos.

CONSIDERING THINGS.

FB - we shouldn't look into their FB, EXCEPT if they status-update it with obviously IG-stuff (New video from Brooklyn tonight, HYBRIDS etc.).

[Mattwan]

Maybe we need a fork in the discussion?

Let's assume the PMs decide not to break character and confirm whether or not the two new videos are IG. If that happens, then every future video/tweet/whatever will have one group trying to place it in the context of the apocalypse-bunker scenario and another group either trying to ignore that or inciting another ten pages of bickering.

To avoid that, we might start two fresh threads, something like "EverymanHYBRID: Endgame Revealed" and "EverymanHYBRID: Endgame Unknown". That would at least keep the canon-or-not conflicts minimized, whereas it seems they're inevitable if we stick to a singe thread (and the PMs keep schtum).

Thoughts?

[Anonymousity]

As I said before in my long post, there's a 98% chance this is NOT endgame, opposed to a 2% chance this is endgame, due to the names of the videos, their release time, the feedback we've gotten by the guys ("You HYBRIDS never cease to amaze me when it comes to finding stuff!") and and their inner logic (one containing text a la "Slushpops and Surprises", the other being VERY similar & using bits of the invisible videos). So there. No need for new threads to discuss this.

As I said before - details and logic are very important here. Even if they are OOG, the chance they are IG endgame is MINIMAL.

[Didz]

Personally I think an exception should be made to let them post in here or tell one of us whether that footage is IG or OOG. Personally I think it's OOG. They're entering a contest, nothing more, it's not some wacky way of trying to get everyone to start speculating again. If it were IG they'd post it on the EMH channel or Alex would post something, THESE vids are on their PERSONAL youtube accounts. How hard is it to grasp? If they wanted their personal YT accounts found they'd have stated them long ago.
On another note I think the FB accounts should be left well alone, it'll only cause the PM's to get pissed off and give it all up if everyone keeps stalking them.

solestri, posting all this is a bit stalkerish, innit??

@ Didz: Well... that's the only thing that throws me off, but it is EMH-universe related... Read my above post considering why this HAD to be found by us - and why I think SM is a "fake" whilst WttA is "real".

I'd say we should wait. We asked them if they see the vids, maybe drop Alex a line if he can access the videos.

We don't need them to post here. Worst case, one of them should ask a third party to drop one of us a PM that this is OOG, if it is.
If that doesn't happen, then it's IG to me.
