WARNING! THE IMAGE ON THIS POST HAS A POTENTIAL SPOILER. AVOID LOOKING AT THE IMAGE UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN THE LATEST EMH UPLOADS!

Hey guys. Just signed up on these forums since I would like to contribute a bit to the ARG of EverymanHYBRID, my current favorite Slender series. Anyway, I was watching the Day in the Life video again and I noticed a little similarity to future events.

Anyway, I took a screenshot a put side-by-side the little similarity I noticed and can be found here: http://tinypic.com/r/rr1kdw/6

This doesn't really solve anything game wise, but I thought it was kind of a neat similarity here. It looks like it might have been a giant foreshadowing of what is soon to come. After all, the image on the left was a picture that was taken and put into the video while the one on the right was part of a series of clips that were spliced into an original video. Though intentional or not, it still brings a tear to my eye.

Again: how sure are we he isn't JUST trapped in the EMHverse?


See, I don't even know what this means. This story has No Fourth Wall, & it isn't exactly unusual for fiction set in a modern/historical setting to incorporate real-life events into its narrative. Of course HABIT is "trapped in the EMHverse," he doesn't really exist. But, in the context of suspension of disbelief, there is no reason to believe there's an "our world" and a "their world."

I skipped Day in the Life & the Sleep Lab. Maybe I should go back & watch those. Of course, it would also be nice if I could get the damn Ustreams to work.

It has, and it is broken continuously.

What we are sure of is that there are various universes and iterations to those. Our universe has a history. EMH doesn't just play in our universe, it takes place in two particular ones: the EMH-verse and the Candleverse. The "1000 mile stare creatures" (Slendys? Us? Cameras? Something else?) through which we were able to see the Candleverse, the videos we receive etc. are proof of that. There seem to be shifts in the universe, and I think that has to do with us watching on.

As for the documents: we know HABIT told his "victims" to go and write some documents. How sure can we be he's not been the good doctor all along? Or made a victim craft the story in a different way?

I didnt say that the Corenthal Documents were for sure legit, I only said they seemed to be among the most likely pieces of information HABIT has given us due to the fact they seem to be corroberated or confirmedby documemts found by EMH rather than left by HABIT in his various geo-caches and prizes. But I still sustain that your right that HABIT could have fabricated those documents, embellished or changed stuff, but for what reason im not sure.

I cant think of why HABIT would lie to us, though he is certainly capable of doing so if he had proper reason to do so, but from what hes shown us he takes some kind of pride in giving us small information and leavingg us wondering or providing to those of us with the thousand mile stare inside information the boys are clueless about, taunting us because (he thinks) we cant make any difference.

Aside from Omission the closest HABIT might come to an outright lie would be pretending to be the good dr c, HOWEVER despite the fact that HABIT somehow knows Vinny was with Dr C(HABIT can watch videos too i suppose) I think his attempt at using Jeff as bait to lure Vinny into being his "dinner guest" is very telling in that it leads us to believe HABIT doesnt know where
Vinny is and thus must resort to the trap rather than pursuing him. If this is true and HABIT doesnt know where(or maybe when) Vinny wound up, it leads me to believe that HABIT is not Dr C

Yeah, I can't really discuss this theory seriously. It relies on taking arbitrary claims about the EMH cosmology on faith, and dismissing in-game sources that dispute those claims.

No, Anonymousity's thing about shifting universes & Habit falsifying all of the documents. What is there to trap him? This "cycle" that we don't even know the nature of? How can Habit do anything to the Rabbits if there's some kind of "EMHverse" that he's trapped in?

The thing about falsifying Dr. Corenthal is that they found stuff from him, they've seen him through time travel & possibly in person, in photographs, he has a surviving wife, with records of financial transactions, they have documents, he was in Jesse's family history, it just doesn't seem likely that everything about him was faked.

Habit has also been very up-front with the fact that everyone is in the "same sinking vessel." Why go so far out of his way to make it look like they have a helpful ally?

I just don't see the point in making mysteries where we actually have a lot of answers. Why not question the existing conundrums? Like this notion of possession, for instance. Why can't Slenderman control the 4? Why can Habit only seem to control Evan? What happened to them when they attacked that deer?

Came here to check that very thing, nice to hear they are fine.

Interesting to hear they "did stuff" during the storm... As horrible as Sandy was, I am sure the flood will connect with the mythological (arc) aspects of the countless stories, and prove to become a cataclysmic event.

So Vinnie is back after all. Hopefully he can stay safe for a while longer.

If he was stuck in the somethingorotherverse for a few months, I think he would have had a different reaction to returning. Me thinks he was just normal gone.
