 		I sent a message back asking what would happen if i keep on doing it and the answer was this:

 		I sent back two messages...I got different responses for each. First:

This link is to a removed video...interesting. And this one:

Something about this second message makes me think the first message contained the paper without the black lines.

This is very interesting. I wonder when we'll hear from Hero next. If he can see this, he might realize what I think this document means.

Hero is adopted, and whoever adopted him gave him the mark.

 		The senders of the first and second PM's are not the same. U_.G_M doesn't want us to show anything. He told us to fuck off, basically.

But it wasn't UGM (this is not as annoying to type, let's just call them by their letters...) that sent this PM. The sender of the second one was UCM, and he wants us to spread "that which is unknown." Of course, all we were able to tell from what he sent Tails and I is that Hero was most likely adopted.

I'd keep your eye on the signature for the PM's, and probably the descriptions as well.

Nope. This, to me, illustrates failure to implement the "if you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all" guideline.

- Editing is workable (Alex was twice as long as it should have been, too many jump cuts, ear rape at the end to sweeten the pot).
- Acting is mediocre (Hero is wooden, can't emote his way out of a paper bag).
- The makeup effects in Branches were cheesy as hell (needs MOAR BLOOD and the puncture wound mysteriously closed itself up).
- The CG Slendy was even cheesier (image looks like it might actually have been lifted from Slender itself, too)
- Writing/plot/pacing is whack as hell. Family/occult conspiracy with Slendy as the prop. Yeah, we haven't seen *THIS* before. Eight videos in the span of a week, with a few secret vids thrown in for good measure leaves everything thin, rushed, and completely uninteresting.

Unsubscribing.

Can't agree more with all of that, I didn't even subscribe in the first place.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The CG Slendy is my biggest pet peeve, I fucking hate CG in a vlog, it makes everything look fake and gay. EXAMPLE: That last CaughtNotSleeping video where the WHOLE FUCKING THING is in CG. It didn't make it look cool, it made it look REALLY stupid. That's when I was just completely done with CNS, I think I even unsubscribed from them. They were good at the beginning but now it's just fan run by a tinychat. Anyway I'm going on a tangent but the point is that if you are making a series, please, please, do not use a CG slendy unless you KNOW that it will look passable as real (Given there are good examples of CG such as in TribeTwelve, that's the way to do it).

To rebuttle some of those points...Hero's acting is supposed to be wooden in many parts. In both Just a Mark and Alex, he is faking in game. For example, he goes under the alias Michael in Alex, and IG acts a lot of the conversation. The entire Just a Mark video is Fake IG as well, he made it to try and hide from his situation. I admit, it could have been better in Branches, but that was a weird video.

I disagree that the plot is rushed, or out of whack. First of all, each of the videos had importance to them...they weren't like the beginning of a slenderseries where the characters are walking around downtown (5Zer02...). This makes the series more exciting. And saying it feels "out of whack," or "off pace," is the stupidest complaint I have ever heard. I mean, half of EMH is impossible to understand without the wiki, or a lot of thinking.

Also, we don't even know if slenderman is the treeman. You can't say the family is in a conspiracy with slenderman if he hasn't been shown yet, and it HAS been revealed that there are other entities in the series (just watch Fox//, and 128's flashing text). So maybe we haven't seen this before.

And finally, the complaint about the CG slenderman is just ignorant as fuck. If you'd bothered to watch the video after, you would realize that Hero admits that the entire video was fake (it wasn't supposed to look real...), and he just looked up "stalker man," and put it in the video to try and escape his problems. So Assasin, your entire complaint is invalid.

I guess you don't have to LIKE the series, but before you go and bash it, learn why it might be that way. For example, I could say "Evan went insane for no reason, that's just a Deus Ex Machina for Jeff to die and Vinny to get answers," without watching all of EMH. No way is that a valid complaint, but it seems valid without learning what actually happens to Evan.

 		So I sent a third PM back. This one is neither from UGM or UCM. It doesn't contain a video either...

and he is me


So was I right? Is this sent from him, and he's either going into some trance, or insane? Maybe more hints will come from more PM's? Also, can anyone unscramble the letters in boxes to make a word? I haven't tried yet.

 		Oh...and a new video. This one is uh, pretty weird. Not much context as to what is happening. But those flashing words match the PM I got.



YouTube: Link

Is that his...

EDIT: This video is currently unlisted, as of 2/2/2014. For whatever reason, a lot of the videos not uploaded by Hero seem to become unlisted. I wouldn't be surprised if C0NF3S5 goes next.

EDIT II: This video is now re-listed as of 2/3/2014 for other unknown reasons. Let it be known it is not relisted until after Wess.

The letters in the boxes are the following: A, I, A, M, L, E, X

Which can be unscrambled to: I AM ALEX

 		I am Alex, and He is me? Huh...maybe Alex is more important than he seemed at first.

 		You right knifeman you right. Idk that's just my opinion on CG though, I wrote that when I was pretty out of it lol. I didn't really watch this series just felt a need to bitch and moan I'll admit it.

 		So "Alex," sent me some pretty important information in another PM...It's, well...watch the video he sent.

So the message itself actually makes sense, and may mean it's the last one we get for now. Basically, this fourth PM reveals what we wanted to know...who Hero is.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So if you've watched the video, you're probably as shocked as I am. How can Hero be "Alex Detroit, but be friends with a person named Alex and Detroit, undoubtedly not a coincidence...I see two explanations to how Hero talks to both Alex and Detroit as if they were actually people:

I was right from the beginning, and Hero does have multiple personalities...He'd also have to have different voices.

Or Alex, Detroit, and Hero are the same person, but in different dimensions, or something of the sort (some ICANSEETHEGIANT type stuff here).


I'll keep sending PM's, but I have a feeling that I'm not going to get much more information.

 		So there was originally another video on the channel called "128," but it became unlisted. Thought it was worth posting. Just so you know, this came in between Branches and Just a Mark.



YouTube: Link

Also, this is why I keep referencing a hint at another entity, other than the descriptions and occurrences in Fox and Branches.

 		Yet another PM, and probably confirmation that Hero is manifesting his identity into real people. No video.

Re:Please read
THE RIDDLE OBSCURED
THE ANSWERS UNKNOWN

THE ONE WHO EXISTS
THE BRANCHES OF BONE




THE REST ARE ONLY AS REAL AS HE MAKES THEM




_U_ .H
M



"Rest," meaning Detroit and Alex.

And now we have _U_.H_M...I'm guessing by the one who exists with the branches of bone, he means whatever showed up in Fox.

Anyone have ideas about what the U,random letter, and M stand for? User, name, Michael? Unknown, name, member? I have no idea. I'll try to get answers on that.
