I can't even figure out what he's talking about? Is he saying that he made one of the side stories and was looking for our help with setting something up?

I'm currently trying to make a SlenderMan side-story. I think i should just stick to the blogs. Or possibly make a blog.

Dray:
Yes, he has a youtube account. I think his sidestory has even been discussed here. Can't recall which thread it is, though...

Oh, jeez.

Kercian: Phantom is linking you the meta discussion section of the forums because that's where you go to ask for help with ARG's. Keep in mind that it is not limited to Slender-Blog ARG's so you may have some outside perspective into this stuff -- that is a good thing!

Don't ask about blog/video help here -- this forum is considered out of bounds for that sort of chatter. In the Marble Hornets sub-forum (and any other forum on the UF board!) players pretend that the blogs, videos, and games are real life accounts, not games. Puppet masters (that means you, Kercian) should never reveal themselves to players here.

There are two terms: "Lifting the curtain" and "breaking the fourth wall".

The first is reminiscent of going to a play: all of the fictional action is happening on the stage, and that's what we're interested in on this forum. Behind the curtain is all of the junk that makes the fictional action run smoothly -- we don't want to see that part hoisted up in the middle of the play.

Breaking the fourth wall is similar: when you go to a play, the characters rarely seem to notice the audience. It's like there is a fourth wall between them and us which means that they don't see us, though we can watch in on them. When a character breaks the fourth wall, it destroys the barrier between them and us and if it's not done professionally and with forethought, it comes off as looking amateurish. (A play with a scripted moment where the character steps off the stage and moves around the audience vs. a gawky teenager glancing nervously out over the audience over and over again such that he can't get into his role, for example.)

If you absolutely need to contact one of us from the MH forum, contact us via PM and ask questions there. Don't do this until you've tried the meta discussion forum. (Meta, by the way, means 'using external factors to affect the game' in this case. We try to keep chatter about the making-of to a minimum in this forum as we focus on the events in the blog, video, twitter, etc.)

TL;DR: STOP ASKING FOR HELP HERE. USE THE META DISCUSSION SUBFORUM.

eta: if you want to be linked to the list of blogs, etc. You can toss me a URL in that thread. You shouldn't include "please link my blog" in your post because that gives you away as being the puppet master. Which is against the rules. You == puppet master. Puppet master =/= posting about how they are making a blog on this forum.

Capiche?
