But now that all the bigger series are diverging and sharing information about Slenderman's weakness I'm starting to worry it might be the case. And since they're crossing over with some of the poorer series along with the better ones it kinda worries me.


I am forced to agree. It seems as if things are getting a bit "muddied", if not a tad confusing at times. I do hope however that EMH has a clear and defined ending. One can only wait, it seems.


Well what I meant was that crossing over with a badly made series tends to drag down the series in question. I don't wanna to name names but EMH really need to watch who they crossover with. Because it's harming their story.

 		Hey, if anyone feels like it, the Plot summary page on the EMH wiki needs to be updated:

Probably not, considering that was information given to the protagonist of TT for his use, in a video on that channel. EMH is pretty good at posting relevant crossover videos to their channel and leaving information for the other series in videos on those channels.

Also, awesome name.

I came into the whole thing later in-game but I never had a moment of difficulty following EMH, probably thanks to the existence of the Hub video.

Also shanks.

 		I was introduced to EMH in early 2013, right around the time they stopped updating frequently. I actually haven't watched the videos in such a long time the past is blurry.

Oddly enough, I always found the Update Hub pretty useless. It's a random fairly arbitrary video to make into the catalog of updates & I don't think it was ever--well, updated.

I always found it perplexing that they didn't just link to the Wiki. I guess that's not really "official," but there was SUCH an emphasis on fan interaction back then, I think they could have easily said, "You know, we don't agree with everything on here, but they do keep track of things pretty well."

Hell, Habit even lampshaded the borderline obsessive way that we archive information recently.

 		I'm confused. I've been told that "this" is something like an abbreviated form of "agree with this," but the look on that lady's face makes me think she's suppressing laughter at something dumb.

To be fair, my impression of the Update Hub could be completely wrong.

No I agree strongly. I took the first gif I saw on Google Images.

The Livestreams are cut, taking out several hours, making it brisker. The videos themselves are higher quality and the parts are edited to the average HBO episode length. They are available on mobile and the text is presented not as an image but as part of the video itself.

 		My main concern about the series is the change in focus from Slenderman to HABIT. The last time we saw Slendy, it was in December 2012. It has almost been two years since we saw the "main" antagonist, and even longer since we've seen the Rake. Since the video "Next," two main things have happened: 1) HABIT tortures, kills, and messes around with a lot of people, and
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
2) Somehow, the main cast members of EMH are "fiction."


For me and other users here, it feels like EMH's story development has slowed down to a snail's speed, and it doesn't feel like what it originally set out to be: a Slenderman series, which tactfully incorporates other creepypasta and unique fictional beings of interest. HABIT is certainly an interesting character, but it's been mostly him and Vinny for the past two months now, and far more questions have been raised than answered. Who the heck is holding the camera for HABIT? What was going through Vinny's head for the past year or so, when he assisted HABIT with his...habits? How does Patrick from MLA tie into this? And most importantly, from the crossover with Tribe Twelve:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What the heck is going on with Jeff - is he alive, dead, or something else?


EMH started off as a promising series, but right now, it doesn't feel like it knows where it's going.

EMH's whole story, going all the way back to when it was a "health and fitness channel" shows us HABIT in the background meddling with our protagonists. I've never seen this as being solely about that tall fucker. Especially since the more immediate threat to their lives has always been HABIT and the Rake

For the fiction thing, I and many fans are pretty certain that when Vinny said that it is not meant to be taken literally. Less Truman Show, more "We exist for some ulterior motive that humanity is just one small part of". I don't understand people who take that line at face value.

Story has slowed down. That's what happens when the creators make zero money off their series, and have real lives to live outside of pleasing an internet fanbase. Read my earlier point about how EMH has had as much focus on their other "antagonists", because it's just clearly not a "Slenderman series". The ARG aspects, the inclusion of creepypasta creations and themes all make EMH a simple horror series.

All of those questions you just asked haven't been answered yet. You might as well be asking what is happening with those scenes in the pool because they haven't been explained either. If the mystery bugs you, well seriously tough fucking break because again, that's what EMH has been about since the very fucking beginning.

You not knowing where the plot is progressing isn't the creators not knowing where to go. It's the point of the thing you're watching. You don't like it? Cool, all the more power to you to watch something else.

I understand that - that's why I put the word "main" in quotes. In the past, it felt like there was a somewhat balanced dynamic between Slendy, HABIT, and the Rake, each bringing something unique to the table. That's why it's disconcerting to see only one part of the unholy triad for quite a while. You said yourself that HABIT and the Rake are more immediate threats - but since when has the Rake shown up? He's been out of the picture for a while now. (Unless the speculation that HABIT's cameraman is the rake is correct).

I may have missed something - where exactly did Vinny say that was not meant to be taken at face value?

Oh, don't go pulling the dismissive "entitlement" card. It's like the whole "If you didn't like the movie, why don't you make a better one?" argument. There's open discussion in this thread for fans to share their views. I've acknowledged in a previous post that they've got lives, schedules, and jobs of their own, and I respect that. This does not exempt them from (constructive) criticism from their fans and viewers.

This is why I like EMH - it has a variety of interesting characters, and brings in other antagonists. Similarly, I enjoy TT's implementation of the Collective, and Darkharvest00's cult(s). HABIT is an excellent psychopath, but it's been almost nothing but HABIT for quite a while.

I completely understand that those questions haven't been answered yet. I'd just like to see one or two more concrete answers at this point, or for the cast to throw us a less subtle bone. As for the scenes in the pool, there is some guided speculation that it relates to the death of Jeff's parents.

Woah, calm down, Noah Maxwell. The mystery doesn't bug me - it's part of what makes the series interesting. What bothers me and others here is recent progression. What answers/clues have we gotten recently? HABIT shed more light for Noah (regarding the TT symbol), than for Vinny (the ambiguous "fiction" idea). For the past year and a half, it looks like Vinny has been under some sort of house-arrest.

Actually, I think that I'll keep watching EMH, and continue to have my own opinions as I enjoy the overall series, thank you very much. I don't deny that we don't know where the plot is progressing. However, I never said that the creators don't know where to go - I said "it doesn't feel like" they know where the series is going. I've stuck with this series for a while, and even though I have my criticisms of how it has been lately, I'd like to see it through to the end.

There's really no need to be uncivil. I understand that there are fans and fanboys on here (I'm sure you know the difference), but there's no reason to be so rude. Rolling Eyes
