So... can anyone sum up the plot of this one so far? Because I've tried following the video channels and the blog and at this point it's just too incoherent for me to really get a grasp on what's happening or why we should care about it.

I've been following the videos and blog, they're entertaining but I don't see much of a coherent storyline either.
I think this is all from the viewpoint of someone driven insane by Slenderman... who's now kidnapping ppl apparently Question

Apparently all we had to do was ask. I thought this blog was a gamejack of sorts at first, but there's WAY too much information and backstory here;

***Beware the goddamned migraine-inducing tiny font here
and another;
http://fearmythos.blogspot.com/2011/08/flee-from-these.html
-which seems to be more a reporter-style blog covering badguys.

As always MDJ seems to give information through other sources, one constant I have noticed.

For those few who actually keep an eye on this series:

May be just a stupid question, but does anyone know the significance of the colors red, blue, and green? I'm not very good at all the code stuff (my main dislike for all slendervlogs, tbh) so any help will be greatly appreciated!

This does have a coherant storyline, it is just thrown in with some seperate blogs. The guy himself was the result of some nazi experiment and The Oracle of Lies woman is his wife who was killed in the 40's. Slendy brought her back on the condition that Victor worked for her or something.

"The Chosen" Is, I think, refering to the lottery system that chose who would be experimented on.


I am a bit hazy on details but that is a dumbed down background description for you Smile

Shocked

You know, I thought I caught a weird reference to Dr. Joseph Mengele (The Nazi "Angel of Death") in some of the blog posts....that's just.. creepy/disgusting/unique for a storyline to incorporate into the Slenderman mythos.

...So primary colors huh? Three colors, three "hostages" (?) I hope there's more to this, has this sort of stuff been in the earlier videos that I didn't watch?

Yeah, he's used weird little puzzles a cpl times before, like in the titles of the videos... and thankfully strayed off the beaten path of using binary codes, which has been used to death since MH, imo.

btw, there's been much more activity on the forgottenthrone blog than on the YT channel;

Interesting comments at the end...infected, twisted...the turning. "Samuel" seems to be a reliable narrator lmfao Laughing

I just started watching this series,I'm basically only on entry 2 but here's what I think. It is from the point of view of a proxy, but for a series to work it would have to be a unique proxy. From the christen themes of the second video, my guess is that this proxy was a priest or minister, or something along those lines. He takes it upon himself to punish the sinful, in the second video the sinful, or at least he assumes them to be sinful are the unchaste. How does Slender man fit in, the proxy must assume him to be god. In this case, I think Slenderman tells him to kill some one, for a sin. Now wether they cactually sinned is unimportant, Slender man tells the proxy to do these things, for its own ill defined goals.

Edit: it's probably to early to make assumptions.

I was on the verge of agreeing Fallen, but there's actually quite a few of MDJ's videos and blog-posts that have extremely religious undertones. It's a pretty subtle thing now that I'm thinking of it.

I mean, I have no idea about the priest thing but maybe he is using the religious angle more than we've picked up on? Has there been any other series out there that's used religion in a SlenderMan story?

Hmm, TheDeadAreWatching. You have the Watchers, which are also known as nephilim... which are fallen angels, I believe. But they don't look as such in the vlog... *shrug*

There are 3 models of primary color, but the one named in the videos is the main one.

In a lot of blogs there are...and you need to remember that this is primarily a blog with a heavy vlog element Very Happy
