 		^I'm with Qa. Proxies are always good for creators in this sort of situation.

 		What if the box that Rabbit#52 refused to open had the same contents as the envelope that Noah received? The envelope's contents seem to share a lot in common with the other boxes, particularly another Corenthal report, and the note on the back of the first picture seems hastily scrawled on, a quick note from HABIT telling Noah who he isn't.

For some reason, HABIT really wants the boxes to be opened on camera and shown to the world. So a situation arises where someone refuses to open a box. HABIT needs the box opened, so he sends someone/something to retrieve it. He doesn't kill Rabbit#52, which I think is because he gives him a grudging respect for his gambit (Pure speculation on my part). Then he decides to send it off to someone he knows WILL open the envelope right away, someone who has no connection to the trials or the EMH crew, but who does have a connection to Slenderman. Someone like Noah.

Also I love the thought of Slenderman being able to stalk so many people at the same time. It's a lot more frightening when the people involved aren't being singled out by Slendy, they've just become another of his many victims.

And another quick note. If I'm right (And it's very possible I'm not) why does HABIT need the boxes opened so quickly? He's even pointed us in the direction of a box when he felt things were moving too slowly. Does HABIT know something is going to happen? I really hope EMH updates soon now that their finals are done. Should be a good summer!

 		I don't follow EMH so I don't know anything about rabbits refusing to open boxes, but the contents of the envelope are clearly related to Tribe Twelve. I'm pretty sure the idea is that Milo and Corenthal happened to meet, and that Habit had some time over and decided to mock another Slender victim, and that's it. Other than this short cameo, I don't think Habit has any part in the Tribe Twelve story.

Rabbit #52, (FRA, or FullRoundAction) had control of the box up until the moment that the video was shot. He posted several times during the day, both here and at the SA forums that he intended to post an unboxing when he got home that evening.

Noah tweeted that he had received the envelope two days before he opened it on camera, and two days before FRA was attacked. I don't believe they are the same.

 		Ah, I didn't realize Noah had the envelope two days before he filmed about it. Disregard my previous post then.

I don't have a problem with Nimbus or others interacting on a semi-distanced basis with the board. It's generally harmless fun.

That being said, it's true we have the rules, and this is still a space for critical discussion of these series - and I don't mean criticism strictly in the sense of 'negative criticism,' I mean each person simply bringing their subjective perspective and commentary to the table. If we don't do that, there is no discussion. Sometimes that's going to be critique, and yeah, things like the performance will come up. I had a long-winded response to the discussion a page or two ago about that video, and while I wouldn't want anyone to bash Nimbus' parents, I do think people have a right to comment on the video and those aspects of it. I think as long as people respond thoughtfully and respectfully to stuff, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. And I'd hate to see Nimbus disappear from the forum entirely over this.


I find myself agreeing completely with qaqa on this matter; well said. The only real issue I had with Nimbus doing such is a little petty jealousy on my part ...as in: It would be a fantastic release of pent up frustration to be able to go into a thread and explain mistakes/misunderstandings to viewers and defend myself from assholes who would rather leave smart ass insults than constructive criticism about my work.
I also know that a lot of the other creators out there share this little aggravation with me, it really sucks not being able to explain or defend yourself in any way once you read through a lot of negative tripe aimed at you. So yeah, Viva La Nimbus! Please do not disappear on my account, ok?

I don't want to further hijack this thread... BUT... that isn't what this forum is for VoidCaste. The point of uF is for PLAYERS to gather, and discuss ARGs, free of influence from the creators. Not for creators to come in and provide information about their work. The rules are there to prevent creators from nudging players towards info, or influencing their choices in the game. The players have to feel free to discuss as they see fit. (Keeping in mind that, in this subforum at least, some of the creators are players in other series, and vice versa.)

Once your series is ended you can feel free to debrief us to your heart's content. But until then you have to consider yourself separate. Do you think film directors enjoy reading all their critics without being able to reply to them?

 		Nimbus, if you read this, just know that your effects do not go unappreciated.

For example, when your mother waved her dainty little hand and Slendy disappeared, it BLEW MY FUCKING COCK OFF.

That is all.

Oh I'm aware of what the forum is for and while I may vent a little like my above post, it doesn't mean I'm unaware of why the rules are in place. Indeed, I actually agree with the forum rules in place -hence I have not even bothered reading in any thread related to my own work so as to avoid the temptation Cool
Agreeing and knowing about the forum rules however isn't going to stop me from giving my honest opinion on the subject of being slightly aggravated at how the system works. Its no big deal, its just one thing we have to accept when we post our work online... some great advice I was given awhile back and adhere to now; "strength through adversity".

I get your point, but actually film directors do quite often get to vent their thoughts/opinions to critics and audiences alike. Most just let the box office gains speak for them though.
What's really made me lol repeatedly on most forums such as this one is how those "viewers" who are so quick to lay down ignorant, smart ass insults as "criticism" are always the one's who get butthurt when questioned/criticized about their behavior. Rolling Eyes C'est la vie

This has been my biggest point. I won't lie: every single person who criticized Adam for the video, but then criticized him again for defending himself (save Atom, who was following the rules) is, as far as I am concerned, a coward.

If you're going to criticize someone, at least man up and defend your criticism. If you're concerned that it might not stand up to the defense of who you're criticizing, then you're wasting your time.

See, we can totally agree on some things like this. I absolutely believe Adam has the right to defend himself like he did, and he did it with intelligence and aplomb. Hell it was even entertaining to read Cool
My only small issue was that we all can't do it too, but we've covered all that so meh. Glad to read this from you actually Cougar, well said. Defend your criticism, but don't hide behind "Oh wah my right-to-criticize-anything-online wah forum rules wah" Laughing

 		Poked back a few page and just saw lots of drama, so if I say anything that's been addressed or corrected or whatnot already, bite me my bad.

I like this creeping creepiness creeping up, and the tone of "Well hell, THIS again" that puts the quiet spell in a context of "All quiet on the Noah front, nothing to report," rather than "Creator got a life, will return to series later." I like the brief appearance of the tall fellow, and the dismissive "Yeah, I saw him" because, really, what is there to be done about it?

I'm not sure where the childhood fire fits in, but it was probably brought up in a Formspring Q&A--one of those things I keep meaning to get around to when the work schedule is less erratic, like catching up with EMH, or learning to crochet a husband. But anyhow, I'm interested, I'm happy to see previous hooks addressed even if they're off the table for now (the uncontactable aunt, etc.), I'm jealous of the new cabinets. Good update.

 		Pardon me if this has been asked before, but in the parent interview video, who was the guy in the white shirt walking away? It looked like his father, but since his father had only seconds beforehand walked off camera, there's no way he could have gotten over there that fast. Was it a mistake, or on purpose (having to do with teleportation)?

The common explanation is that it was the reflection of his father walking away.
