 Slendervlog Voting Thead
Surveying the Smaller vlogs

OK, so this thread is basically a spin off of Glomple's "OH MY GOD NEW BLOG THEAD", meant to act as a voting system for the video based Slender Man series, where as Glomple's focuses on the blog based ones. I thought we ought to have this, since there's been a lot of debate across various threads over which ones are good and which one's aren't, so here we can vote on them just like the blogs.

As before, newly discovered vlogs can be posted here to be added to voting.

Rules are basically the same as on Glomple's thread:

1. Each vote cast should be written as [vlog name][+ or - 1].
2. Strongly encouraged to vote for all vlogs, but it's unneeded.
3. The "Hall of Shame" requires at least 5 votes for placement. If you want to vote a blog to Hall of Shame, please say so instead of just +1 or -1.
4. You are encouraged to give a reason(s) why you gave each vlog + or - 1, especially for Hall of Shame votes.
5. There will be no voting on Marble Hornets, everymanHYBRID, or TribeTwelve. This thread is to detail and help us all sort through the lesser vlogs. However, if anyone REALLY objects to this, I guess we can vote on them too.
6. For the moment, vlogs that are listed as being "on hiatus" in the main list thread won't be voted on. (Such as Beyond the Neon and Western Halo)

Rankings (last updated: Jan 29 at 3:40 PM)

Cool Awesome (+10 or higher) Cool
+13 Dark Harvest

Smile Good (5 - 10) Smile

Confused Average (-5 - 5) Confused

+04 MLAndersen0

Sad Bad (-5 - -10) Sad

Mad Facepalm Worthy (-10 or lower) Mad

Evil or Very Mad HALL OF SHAME Evil or Very Mad

I basically just copied in the list from the List thread (excluding Experience of Evil, because we know it isn't a Slendervlog now), so I think that's most of them, but let me know if I missed anything.

Jonclubs, Dark Harvest, The Outside Agents and The Angel's Game are all pretty well known. Especially JonClubs. Also, I don't see why we have this thread for vlogs that already have fairly active threads. You should focus on ones that either don't have threads, or if their threads are dead.

jonclubs113: +1. I was really impressed with the effects, and they did a few chilling things that hadn't been done before (a Slendy attack that isn't entirely distorted (even if Slendy's hidden), Jon's "this was all a joke" post where something is obviously done). It's not one of the big three, and it gets a lot of hate here because of the EMH dispute, but I found it to be one of the best vlogs I'd seen.

Dark Harvest: ...I think I'm gonna go with +1. It's really let me down in the past, but I've still got really high hopes for it. That last video was pretty dern good and shows immensely improved effects from earlier videos.

The others I'm not far enough into or are currently too short for me to fairly judge.

I agree with jonclubs, but the others I'd like to see peoples ratings on as well even if they all already have their own forum threads.

My two cents: Jonclubs was very good and I would give it a 4 probably on your scale. That is due in large part to my strong dislike of EMH in general, but moreso that they didn't let the project consume their lives(like EMH), and that it was unique.

As for DarkHarvest, I like it a lot so far. They are putting out good effort, and attempting to make a good story with what little they have to work with. I would argue it's better than Jonclubs, but I won't. Good story overall.

EMH: -5. A large obsession with making it seem to real, coupled with the fact that it got too complicated by forcing you to follow youtube, their twitter, canyouseethewords, and their live chats. A dumb plot in my opinion in the thought that slenderman would find and attack them... because they were making a fake story about him, and how annoying the guys are, make me want to vomit..... That may be going overboard but still.

Lol bro. It's called an ARG for a reason.

Don't compare it to MH because MH wasn't an arg. Its a story.

EMH is a true example of an arg.

Yeah, And I think Ohgodhesatmywindow is a parody. So judge accordingly.

We're not voting on the Big Three, Sniper, so let's not make this thread the "Let's Bash EverymanHYBRID" Thread.

Jonclubs, yeah, it did do a lot of things right, and a lot of things wrong, so I'm gonna go with average-bordering on-good, and then Dark Harvest has been very hit-or-miss for me, so I'm keeping it as average.

Does compileTRUTH really count, seeing as how it's just doing histories of other stories?

He does that, but he's also recently started up a storyline and recording some stuff of his own. Nothing's really happened yet though, so I think it's too early to vote on it.

...Okay, I swear, one day I'll do an analysis on the Slender mythos and NOT try and turn it into an ARG or an actual Slender vlog or anything like that. On that, I promise. -.-

I hadn't heard of ohgodhesatmywindow but the title certainly made me laugh.

EDIT: Oh god, this is making me laugh so hard. +1.

+1 Dark Harvest
+1 Appleforoureye

Characters are cool. The only reason I brought up EMH was because wanted to give two cents on it very quickly, but I apologize.

I haven't seen most of these.
Dark Harvest +1 Likable characters, and the creators have shown willingness to listen to criticism.
Angel's Game -1 Too many long videos of people talking about nothing with just one sentence in there hinting at Slenderman being around.
Apple of Our Eye -1 I just don't like the characters.
I've watched compileTRUTH too and liked his summaries, but I agree that it's too soon to rate it as a Slendervlog.

Dark Harvest +1

I liked the nice buildup, and I really enjoyed the last couple videos. The "videos from the future" thing is pretty great, and I think I like it better than more mere memory loss.

Theoutsideagents +1

I've followed this almost since the beginning. The first couple videos were pretty awful, but it's gotten better since then. We're pretty cool to hang out with on their livestreams (not that I've managed to get to one lately). I'll always remember fondly the day I got them to do an encore of Freebird. <3

Jonclubs -1

I enjoyed Jonclubs. I'll be honest. People crapped on it for various stuff, but I thought it was pretty well done. If it had ended with the "hahah I put scary videos on the internet" video, I might be giving it a +1 right now but the last couple videos totally ruined it.

I haven't seen the others on your list. I don't know if it's still going or whatever, but Digitsofpi was pretty bad for the couple of videos I watched and if it ever gets added to your list it should get a -1.
